Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


Happy Memorial Day to all here . I Am going to watch two episodes today = the other one will be later .
162

As mentioned , Sukhyun with his last bit of energy walks to Nara and gives her a beautiful bouquet for parents day . She finally says something I can get behind " If you want me to see you as my son , get the liver transplant " . I am toured of her schizoid behavior - she is calling someone to help them find a donor since she has so much money ..... BTW , since she has so much money , I wonder why she begrudges the money given to Grandpa Chang ??? I guess it is a question of you can never have enough - did any one else hear the story about John D Rockefeller only tipping a dime ?? I don't know if that is urban legend or not .

Don't get me wrong , I am not excusing Grandpa Chang . He sounds like a total loser and even Gram deserved better . I am surprised any of the kids turned out ok ( but now we know where Jaeman gets
it )

At least that makes Sukhyun consider the possibility and he is talking to the Dr about the possibility . Since he is asking about the risk of the surgery to a 50 yr old woman , I am thinking he cares even tho0ugh he denies it

Ho hum ( yawn ) Okdoo's ex ......

Haien finds out that Kiwoongs investment is from her dad - and she doesn't feel right about it . They end up having their first fight . It is embarrassing because Gram comes to break it up . That is the problem in living in a household with extended family . I think one would have to whisper ! Gram is definitely old school as she chides Haien for talking to her husband that was . I think it is cool that Haein and Kiwoong have an equal relationship and look where being deferential got Gram -

just saying .

Gram and Minsook are also uncomfortable with the idea of the money for the business coming from ByunDoo - so Gram is going to , at long last , open the spoon holder .

Be back later today

Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


I did get around to watching another episode but , obviously , did not post .

163

Gram finally opens the spoon holder and finds a letter and a land document . I think the silliness quotient goes up quite a bit in this episode as we see a lot of speculation and counting of chickens before they are hatched !

Before the family even goes to find out what the document means they are halfway to spending the money . The only good info to come out - as far as I can see is that everyone finally knows what Grandpa Chang did with the money that was given to him " for Sukhyun " Maybe it will help Sukhyun get past his anger , but I am not seeing it yet .

I can't really say much beyond that - Nara of course is brooding like a witch in her house , and poor
Byundoo looks like he is going to lose his 10k check now that Youjing knows about it !

We are on the home stretch , I guess

Re:


I need to catch up. Been w/o a computer for a few days but today finally got back on. I never could understand why Granny held on to that stupid spoon pouch. Seriously, NO ONE WOULD EVER!! But I just look at these idiotic incidents as 'fillers' for the show.

It's been hard to push forward. Nara is so disgusting and I keep thinking about how she gets off having to pay for all these years of hatred for Minsook and horrid treatment of both Suky and Jongnam this past year. She's always looked down on Minsook. I have tried to look at things thru her eyes. I tried to imagine her fear at her beloved son finding out the truth, that she was not his bio mom. I understand that is most likely the primary reason for her always trying to keep Suky away from 'those' Changs. But she is just too much to ever understand. I can't stand her.

I'll try to watch tomorrow. Two episode. lol I remember I could hardly wait to get to the next one. Now I have to force myself.

Re:


`162/163

Well, seems both episodes were covering the spoon pouch and the land document inside. Funny how everyone jumped on the money band wagon and assumed the land would be worth a million. And funny how they all seemed to think THEY should get half of that amount. They all acted so disgusting. Jaeman was by far the worst. He packed up and moved out of Jaeok's and back to grandma's room.

Jaeman is really an ignorant man. He is so simple minded (not in a sweet way either). I just don't get him. Watching him around Nara is really something. He acts like a male black widow, inching towards her in a jerking way, afraid she'll strike. I never remembered disliking him before. But I dislike him now.

Anyway, seems everyone is speculating about how much they're gonna get before anyone tries to find out exactly where the land is located and how much is actually is. Just counting their chickens.....

I was going to go on to 164 but BB is really not enjoyable at all now. I feel like the money story is just 'filler' and they're dragging out the transplant issue.

Nara did tell Suky the right thing (you mentioned in your post) about getting the transplant. She wants him to have it even tho the liver will come from Minsook. But she can't let that go. She has to make nasty jealous comments to him. WHY? She is so jealous, petty and small minded that even her son, standing in front of her, ready to collapse and she makes it about herself. I just don't know if I've ever hated a character more. lol

Almost there! Almost...

Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


164

is kind of funny in that Gram almost passes out when she hears the deed may be worth up to $ 2 million . I don't know if that is Dollars or Won ....any-who , it doesn't stop from Jaeok and Kiwoong from shopping for new storefronts for their business .

Jaeman has slime-ingly moved into Jaedo and Minsooks house , and Nara continues to hole up in her house . YuJing is very excited about HAein's connection to the supposed windfall and rushes over to Nara to try to get more info.

Meanwhile , Sukhyun is getting sicker and I am gratified to see that he is listening to KIwoong without hostility . It is also clear ( to us anyway ) that the reason for the delay in surgery is indeed because he is concerned for Minsooks health . Although he hasn't discussed this with anyone , he acknowledges the suffering and sacrifice that his biological parents ( especially Minsook ) made in giving him up to Nara and Jaeman . I am not saying that JAedo didn't suffer as well , but it seems to me that he was perhaps so grateful that Sukhyun's life was saved that he had no problem with abiding by the conditions that Nara had set . In a recent episode , we saw that Sukhun had a memory which reflected that .

Nara , though she wants Sukhyun to live , is still jealous of MInsook .

She is pathetic , though I have no pity for her . I don't think she deserves it .

Re:


Will get on 164 shortly...

But had a comment re your post above. Jaedo's complete acceptance of Nara's control over Suky's life. I know he was grateful to her but he is stupid for thinking whatever Nara does or says, or how she looks down on him and Minsook is acceptable because she took Suky when he was a baby. OK, fine, she saved his life. What pisses me off about this is that if they hadn't handed Suky over, Nara would have let that boy DIE... She is void of compassion, love, kindness, consideration... just about any decent human emotion.

All I see is Nara consumed with Nara...

Also: FYI will be gone from June 23 until July 3 so will finish BB up sometime when I get back.. LOL how long has this re-watch taken? I don't care.. It's been a slow journey but one I've enjoyed taking.

Re:


164/165

Seriously unpleasant episodes to watch. Nara wallowing in her self pity, and crying about why should she have anything to do with Suky when SHE isn't being recognized as his mother. OMG she is such an evil "B"!!!

I couldn't stand Jaedo when he was talking off lazy greedy Jaeman (about moving in with them again). Jaedo says he feels sorry for Nara. Jaedo will never 'get it'. All that Nara has done in her mistreatment of MInsook over the years. Doesn't matter, Jaedo thinks his gratitude knows no bounds. Whatever Nara does is fine.

Irritated with how greedy ALL of them were over that money. In my book, they should just hand it all over to Suky!!! But Nara thinks SHE should get 1/2. Apparently her father is still alive so shouldn't HE get her half? lol GREED GREED GREED!!!

And last, Minsook, our beloved long suffering Minsook, irritated me. When Suky is calling out for his mother, she comes in close with such expectations on her face. SERIOUSLY? Did you really think he was calling YOU? I know I know, Minsook IS his mother. But she didn't raise him, Nara did. Minsook's hovering over Suky bothers me. When he fell asleep she was stroking his face. DON'T DO THAT!!! You lived all these years as his aunt. Continue to do so.

I'm so sorry. Must be in a mood or something. No one made me happy today. emoticon

Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


I did watch another episode today , but I guess that will be it until I hear from Nelly that she is back .

I was thinking about what you said about the land windfall subplot , and I agree except for the fact that Gram has been clutching that spoon holder and talking to her deceased husband through it throughout almost the entire series . It would be odd if they did not address it before the end of the show

165

Regarding the supposed fortune the Chang family has acquired through land : it is almost ludicrous the way Gram is counting her chickens before they are hatched . At the very least I would expect any person of sense to take the document in for verification of it's worth before treating her cronies to lunch or having people sign leases for store fronts . However , we don't get much of a diversion from the drama of Sukhyun's illness and indeed it appears that his situation is getting dire .

I was happy when Jaeman yelled at Nara and told her off . It is about time someone did , and I hoped that some of his words would penetrate that thick skull of hers . I must say that nothing Nara did at this point would elevate her in my eyes . There has been too much malice , hatefulness and downright meanness and inexcusable behavior on her part for me to ever think of forgiveness . That is one thing I found difficult in Kdramas . I think Nara is the absolute worst of the worst and she deserves to be shunned .

WOW - I guess I should tell you how I really feel emoticon . It further disgusted me that Minsook had to kneel before her and beg for Sukhyun's life in order to make Nara finally get off her duff and go to the hospital .

It shows once again that Minsook's love has no bounds , and she would do anything four her children including humbling herself before a hateful person and literally risk her own life to save his .

It once again makes me think of the Bible story where two women went to King Solomon and both said the baby belonged to them . King Solomon said that the only solution would be to slice the baby in half and give each woman one half . One of the women thought that was a good idea and the other one told King Solomon to give the baby to the other woman

King Solomon knew then that the real mother was the one who would let the other woman have her baby as long as he lived .

Nara wold be the other woman who would be ok with the idea of cutting the baby in half .

I hope you have a good trip , Nelly and please let me know when you are back

Re:


Will return the 3rd. May take me a few days to get back in to BB tho.

Do want to agree with you on something. At this point, there is nothing Nara could ever do to make me forgive her or think in any way positive about her. She is as evil as they come. She's selfish, she's arrogant, she's cruel, she's controlling, she's absolutely downright vicious. Even those who have been kind to her (Haein's mom) she looks down on. When they show her all alone in her house, feeling sorry for herself, as if SHE were the one suffering, I seriously think they (whoever 'they' are) are trying to make the viewers feel pity for her. She is vile. And even tho we know how it ends, she will never be forgiven in my book.

Will be spending time w/new (sort of) great grandson... Granddaughter is adopting him. Looking forward to some more time w/this little guy.

Re:


166

I seriously was planning to watch 2 episodes (since I've been absent for so long) but cried pretty much thru all of 166!!! So quit for today. lol

Nara does an about face and is all sweet (as is possible for her) and nice to Jongnam and Suky and, yes, even Minsook. I didn't feel at all any sympathy for her. I didn't jump for joy because she came to her senses. To me she is just pure nasty and hateful and no matter how great she will be in the future, I will always hold her past against her .. lol

Best scenes def were between Minsook and Suky. Suky gives Minsook what she most wants in the world... her youngest son. He calls her mom in the church. He hugs her. He lets her know he cares very much for her. She tells him how she suffered when she thought he would die and that Nara was her only hope for his survival. Suky finally understands her pain and how much she loved him. So much she handed him over to someone else to raise.

Nara even was almost not as nasty to Yujeong. She did have to shush her in the hospital when Yu was asking (so inappropriate) about Nara and Jongnam's relationship. But Nara is done (for now) making everyone hold their breath when she's around.

Almost there!!!
