Re:


I missed the scenes, if they were shown, but I guess that Mr.Kang missed his 'hero moment'. Not surprising that he would never trust his wife. Sad.

I do think that if the actress playing Mrs. Kang were in Hollywood she would rate an Academy Award. she is such a fine actress.

Re:


I wonder if Sangu & Hogyeong had "consummated" their marriage?? I'm sorry if I offended anybody, just curious.

Re: K-Drama: 내 딸 서영이 (Seoyeong, My Daughter)


I've wondered the same thing, Slantyeye, and I don't think they have consummated their marriage. It was a major deal in Sunday's episode when Sangu extended his arm in bed and invited Hojeong to use it as a pillow. Her extreme awkwardness and discomfort was too much for both of them and they didn't seem to advance into any other marital activity. It was too awkward for both of them. If she can't even rest her head on his arm, is she about to go further?

Also, Sangu recently asked her what does she want to do with her husband? He seemed to want to get this marriage consummated and that they act like a married couple. Hojeong's answer was she wanted to go for walks with him—things like that. After that, Sangu has been trying hard to do all the little things she expects and wants from her husband, actions that mean he cares for her, in her mind. And, he does care for her. Sangu is being very sincere with Hojeong. If nothing else, their marriage is based on truth between them. He honestly told her his situation and feelings before they married, giving her the opportunity to accept or decline while fully knowing the truth. He promised that he would make a good life for her and not cause her pain. Sangu is honoring his marriage and keeping his promises to her.

Re:


I am guessing where the story is going. Soyeong will act as Mrs. Kang lawyer and get her out of her predicament and then all will be forgiven.
I guess if I were Ujae, I can forgive her for lying about her Dad but what I want to understand was why she was taking birth control pills behind his back and then going to the hospital for all those fertility tests. That is too much deception not only of her husband but also her MIL.

Re:


I think SY explained the birth control deception by saying she was always concerned the lies about her father would be revealed,and she didn`t want a child to be involved when the marriage broke up.

The best K-drama resource is a topic SuperRookie created and maintains at the very top of the Korean Dramas page. He shows all the current and upcoming K-dramas that will be shown on the terrestrial stations (antenna/over the air) KXLA 44.1, LA-18.1 (and others). The link is: K-Drama On Air Schedule in SoCal (Updated March 18).

To see all the programming on stations KXLA 44.1—44.10 and LA18.1—18.9, you might try a free on-line TV service such as Titan TV - free local listings.

For Japanese program listings on LA18.2: UTB Hollywood

For KBS program listings (current week at a time): KBS America [click on "Schedules"]

Note: For KXLA 44 and LA18 program schedules through a subscription cable/satellite service, go to the website of your particular carrier (TimeWarner, Cox, etc.).

Re:


Well after watching the entire show minus a few missed episodes I had fun if you can calling being frustrated at the choices of the characters for more than half the show being called fun. Just glad that this show is fianlly over for me.

Though after watching the show I have finally come to the conclusion that Sangu did make the right choice by marrying with Hojeong compared to him ending up with Miggi. I think that by my calculations what I may say has already been covered but just incase please proceed with caution as there maybe some spoilers in my character reading.
So reading anything now is a risk that you are willing to take on your own decision. You have been warned.

I think that it is Hojeoungs sweet and caring nature that finally won Sangu over in the end. She was honest from the start with him about how she felt and even though she loved him she was willing to back down when she saw that he was happy and in love with Miggi. Willing to sacrifice her own love and happiness for him. But more importantly she was willing to not only learn but adapt to his living style. For instance when she tried to thank him by paying him of getting that load of food in the start he explained why that may be taken in the wrong context. After that she was more careful in how she appeared and behaved. Unlike some people who would refuse to change or would be more difficult for them to do so. Also she tried to be considerate of his feelings whenever she could. For instance after marriage they went to a ski resort and when she found out that he couldn't ski (she wanted to ski) she didn't push him to take her out she waited patiently to do so on her own. Fortunately he caught on by chance and they went out and had a good time if I recall correctly. I am sure that when she went to States she must have tried to live in a Spartan life style to an extent allowing her to practice for her married life.
Granted I don't get the cooking thing. I was sure that she could do some decent cooking before marriage but afterwards when she got married it seemed that her cooking became terrible. (Perhaps it was what she learnt to cook was different ie she may have been a good cook when it came to Western Meals but for Korean Traditional Meals she may have been bad). For instance she asked what Sangu liked and when she tried to cook those things she may not have been good at those in particular as she would be doing them for the first time ???
But the most important thing going in her factor (This is the bit that you should really be warned about)
is that when she found about Seyoung she didn't run of in fear etc but accepted her to the best of her ability and not only that she did her best to help reconcile her with the rest of her family. In her own sweet and kind way that is. She did not hate Seyoung but at the same time tried to understand her as well.
nice to see Seyoung play Cupid as well emoticon Guess the lady has some emotions after all. emoticon


Now time for some views on Miggi (So I Guess you can read safely now)

Miggi was nice and being a doctor also helped. As both of them were in the field they certainly would have loads to talk about. But her major issue was that while she may have loved Sangu before marriage that is. Afterwards might have been an issue. So while on work she may have lived a semi hard life (I can only assume that she used public transportation) and that while she may have dressed in simple clothes while out of her house I suspect that would be the limit of hardship that she was willing to endure. For instance she lived in a spacious room (Bigger than the one Sangu and his Dad had at the time of them dating), Then there were the other niceties that she couldn't really live without according to her. An example that can be considered is hot water. I don't remember the exact details but there was a time when Sangus dad had closed up their hot water to save up on money. Then I think Miggi mentioned this point at her home or maybe infront of Sangu that she couldn't live/take a bath without hot water. (something like that the details aren't exactly clear to me at the moment.) If she would have trouble with basic hot water before marriage what other problems would not arise after marriage are just to name a few. I also doubt that her parents would have approved of their only daughter marrying in such a low class family (no offense to anybody over here or there). With Seyoung it didn't really make a difference since the Daughter In Law is supposed to move in with the husband or his family if ones goes a step further that is. But with the daughter moving in a place that was not as comfortable and luxurious the parents would really feel uncomfortable and the solution to this would have been to ask Sangu to move in with them. I guess that would have been awkward and uncomfortable for both Sangu and Seyoung. Though to be quite honest knowing Sangu he would have right out refused to do so as he would not have wanted to leave his father alone. Thus causing further difficulties in their married life. There have been a few more issues that I could have brought up but for the moment I guess that I can leave with just these few that I have for the moment. emoticon

I guess that Hojeong read Sangu pretty well. For instance she said that Sangu and Miggi would not workout because of Miggis background and she was correct. (Not fully for the reasons that she thought of but in the end I think that contributed as well.)

I may be totally off in my reading of these people but in that case let me apologize in advance.

In regards to taking birth control pills and then going with her mother in law and Ujae she really didn't have much of a choice. Yes she was well aware of the problem of why she couldn't have kids (due to her own thinking [can't be sure if it was 100% correct or not]) but she didn't really have much of a choice. She couldn't say that she couldn't or didn't want to go because then they would ask her why not. She would then have to explain that she was taking pills. When asked why she would then have to reveal that it was because she lied when she got married. What would have been the entire point if she was planning on covering it up. Everything would have been in the open.

Frankly she should have done so in the start but then we wouldn't have a 50 Episode drama. I can only assume that Ujae would have accepted her even then and would have still made it work and even convince his parents while he was at it. I guess though according to Seyoungs dad that it was a wake up call for him and helped him get his act together. So I guess that some good did come out from her actions no matter how selfish they were.
I guess direct confrontations are a no no rule in drama land. Though that reminds me of the first drama that i saw of Le BoYoung Birth of the Rich when the guy that she likes that is says that we should talk so that we can clear up any misunderstandings between us otherwise like in drama land those will only grow and may even damage their relationship. When I heard that I found that so amusing that I actually laughed. Yep direct confrontations always work best. Unlike said people like ujae who not only bottled it up but were smart enough to think that things would only get better with drinking the problem away or to act so cold and that maybe Seyoung would have been smart enough to either read his mind or figure it out on her own. Guess Seyoung never learnt the Mind Meld Trick.

Well that is mostly all from my end at the moment. Oh
also I seem to be having a problem sending a PM. I seem to be getting the following error message
opm_body: Maximum valid length is 3000
I have no idea what that means so any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. Till All Are One
Take care and also
Live Long and Prosper emoticon !!!!! :!

Online Private Messages (OPM or PM) have a limit to the amount of characters permitted in the body of the text. For "Free" members, the limit is 3000 characters per PM. For "Premium" members, the limit is 10,000 characters per PM.

In "word count" terms, the generally accepted standard is that 5 characters equal 1 word. Therefore, the 3000 character limit on PMs for Free members equals approximately 600 words.

There are also limitations on the size of Posts in board threads. Again, the limits are by category of member status: Free or Premium member. Maximum post size for Free users is 10 kb, for Premium users the limit is 250 kb per post.

Re:


Spam King, I also had trouble getting PM's to go through and got the same message even when they were short, so I clicked on an old one, hit Reply, then deleted everything from the old one, put in the address of where I wanted the new one to go, and then typed in the new message, It went through immediately. I still continue to do it this way.
