Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


Well , I am double posting but I guess it is ok . Since I am not sure when I will get back to the den this week ,and I don't want to hold you up too much , nelly , I went ahead and watched ( thoughts on 134 on previous page )

135

 emoticon I guess I couldn't help it . I think the meeting between Minsook and You jung turns out to be a nightmare for both of them . Minsook because there is no way they can afford to compete with the Lee's and Youjung because she believes Haein is not valued as a Daughter in law . She is horrified at the thought of Haein and Kiwoong living with the Changs . I may be mistaken , but wasn't Haein going to move in with the Jaeman Changs if she married Sukhyun ??? I guess that would have been ok since they were going to live with Nara emoticon emoticon

Anybody have any pepto bismol ? Tums ? emoticon . Haien is ok with the prospect , but Youjing - not .So they both go home upset .

I think Haein is serious about all this because she is talking to Kiwoong about paying for their own wedding and honeymoon . I guess I had forgotten this part , but my admiration for her is growing - and I already got over my dislike of her as soon as she quit hurting Kiwoong .

Meanwhile , Jongnam shines as a show host , but Sukhyun is jealous . She admits to Sukhyun that she had ben using InBoem ( and we all knew it ) and she feels badly about it . I think what she did is out of character but she was trying to please Jaeok . Jaeok seems to have given up on the IB connection , but she still tells Jongnam that "some things don't work out "

I DO enjoy the scenes where Sukhyun and Jongnam have to steal a few moments alone , and they manage to do it daily

Jaedo is a simple man - to be sure ( but I would choose him any day over his brother ) but I think he over did it when he went to speak to Sukhyun about giving up Jongnam . Sukhyun at least listened politely , but he basically asked him if Kiwoong and Daejung owed living their lives for their mother . He made a good point and I think JAedo - though not the sharpest tool in the shed _ realizes something is up . Surprisingly , he does not share these thoughts with Minsook .

I kind of relived my trip to Seoul when I saw Jaeman and OKdoo walking by that fountain /stream in the middle of the city - except I visited there at night . It was beautiful .

Actually , South Korea is really beautiful and I will always be grateful I went there .

There I go , digressing again . If I have anymore thoughts about this ep , I will check back in . Probbly will watch next ep this weekend

Re:


I'll give a quick remark on 134 (to your post Addie)... I sorta kinda thought Minsook was in error by making the comments on public transportation. She said it because she was irritated that Yujeong was late (only a few minutes tho). It was as if Minsook set herself up to be insulted. But I absolutely LOVE Minsook (and call this actress Minsook to this day). lol

Also agree about Jaeman. Yes, he DOES have a right to look elsewhere since his wife is such a vile hateful person. But if it had ONLY been Okdoo he tried to seduce, I'd be behind him 100% because I thought they were great together. She is submissive, quiet, sweet, gentle... everything Nara is not. But the fact is, Nara has put up with Jaeman cheating pretty much their entire marriage. So Jaeman is a total jerk!!! Nara possibly could have been a tad kinder if she were happier (happy) in her marriage.

Will watch 135 this week (hope)...

Re:


135

Thought Yujeong was so unrealistic in her expectations of the Chang's. She first wanted an apartment for Kiwoong/Haein. Then she wanted gifts, per the normal standards (who's?). She knows Kiwoong's family are not rich. They aren't exactly poor but they are the middle class struggling to make ends like everyone else are. She is so ridiculous in requesting these things and she knows it. Minsook tries to put the blame on granny (I do realize she was intimidated by Yujeong). But Minsook should have been more honest and just said We Can't Do It....

On the other hand, Haein grew up like a princess, having whatever she wanted/needed. Also, she is an only child. I absolutely understand Yujeong wanting her daughter to have it all. She gave her the best of everything and ensured Heein had a great education. I understand her wanting to show her friends (uh, guess that'd only be Nara), that Haein at least married 'ok'.

Later Yujeong goes to complain to Nara and says that Nara is her only friend. That's because you act so ridiculously silly all the time. And you are Nara's only friend because no one else would befriend such an evil woman. What a pair!!

Was very sweet/cute watching Haein and Kiwoong making plans, and budgeting, before they even begin. I love that Kiwoong isn't going to have to be perfect for her. And I love that Haein has not a problem in the world living on Kiwoong's level. Good for you girl who I have hated throughout this drama. lol lol

CP tries to get Jongnam to keep working for Herb Lime. Suky and CP have a few words and it embarrasses Jongnam. She already feels guilty towards this guy and now Suky is rubbing it in. Suky can afford to be gracious now. He got the girl. But think he was a tad jealous that CP is still in the picture.

Jongnam is tired all the time. (?????????) emoticon

Re:


136

Nara opens the wrong envelop (well, maybe not the wrong one..lol). She knows now that Suky has found out the truth that Suky got a DNA test and the first thing she can think of is that Minsook told him.

OH... That DNA test said there was no relationship between Jaeman and Suky? It had to show some connection, right? Just not a father/son connection.

Granny wants to see Suky, to scold him. Minsook has to call Nara to ask. Nara flatly says Suky is busy. So Granny calls Suky at work and tells him to come over. Funny, he agrees to but when he gets there Granny was at the Sr Center. WHY? She knew he was coming and has been wanting to scold him...why leave?

Oh well, if sure gave Nara something to see when she got there and saw Suky and Minsook alone at the table!

Kiwoong and Haein are busy, and very happily planning their budget friendly wedding. Smart couple. I would rather have the traditional wedding over the white wedding dress event any day.

Suky gives Jongnam a membership to a fitness club, because he wants to spend at least a bit of time w/her at lunch or after work. What a sweetheart he is.

OMG... Jaeok is still at it. She has CP over and tells him not to give up, even when he says the adults should give in to the couple (S&J).. But then CP, wish renewed hope??? tells Jaeok about their overseas opportunity to study. Jaeok thinks this will be just what Jongnam needs to get over Suky and back to CP. She tells CP Jongnam and Suky have less than 1% chance of being together. She won't leave it alone!

What the heck was Suky trying to do at the table after Nara came??? He asks Minsook, for Nara's benefit I believe, what she would do if one of her kids came home with someone who Minsook didn't like. Nara's look was like this was what Minsook was waiting for. Why would Suky do that between them? I think he is still very blinded by Nara. He got the best of her and everyone else got the worst. He is clueless.

Hope all is well... emoticon

Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


First of all , I Am sorry about the delay in getting back in the den . I had no idea how
busy this week would be , and it promises to be like that next week too .... emoticon

136

I think that everything Nara gets , she deserves in the karmic sense . No matter how hard one tries to hold on to a secret , the truth always has a way of coming out . She has expended a lot of energy over the years trying to hold on to it AND Sukhyun . Nara is also a liar - every time she tells someone she only took Sukhyun in was because she was begged to , I want to say " BLAH BLAH BLAH - I can't hear you !! " Sukhyun is her raison d'être , her vicarious life , her outward symbol of pride and accomplishment to the world .

Everything he does has more to do with HER ( in her own mind ) than himself . He is an extension of her . And yet , she still has no sense of responsibility for the events unfolding . The fact that Sukhyun sought out DNA testing has to be someone else's fault ( who talked ??)

LOL , Nelly , I too thought about the fact that the report said Jaeman had no relation to Sukhyun -
although to be technical , I suppose if they only tested mitochondrial DNA ( maternal line ) it would say that .

Haein and Kiwoong just get cuter and cuter , and though their way may not always be smooth ( ahem ) We get a sense that they will be truly happy . I think they are brilliant to plan and pay for their own wedding as it removes any sense of competition between families . Youjung is at heart a good person , but her friendship with Nara would surely color some of her actions .

Jongnam and Sukhyun are cute together too , but they are having to meet on their own when out and supposedly without any of the family's knowledge . At least they both have chosen this and are fully committed to each other .

Is In Boem a pawn in any of this ? Is he too trying to break up Jongnam and Suky ? I was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt but now I don't know .

Nara can be vicious when thwarted - we all know this and now she shows up at the Changs ?

I agree , Nelly , Sukhyun is clueless and he is trying to make a point with Nara about Minsooks decision re marriages for Kiwoong and Daejung . HE still doesn't get it - he thinks she loves him like a mother .No - She thinks of him as her possession .

I am going to watch 137 now in case I don't get back here for another week ( but hopefully sooner )

Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


137

MInsook made a good save when she told Sukhyun she was only talking about Kiwoong and Daejung when she said what she would do if presented with a daughter/son in law of which she didn't approve .
But - even Gram is against them , which with Jaeok makes the resistance complete .

I have always thought that that attitude would do nothing , and I am not just talking about Jongnam and Sukhyun ... we have all seen couples like that over here , haven't we ?

Nara has to dress up to go over to the Chang's - she couldn't go as she was , could she ? ( Meow ! )
Always showing off .

Meanwhile , the wedding is rapidly approaching for Haein and Kiwoong . I guess it is me , but I was thinking it was a little rushed until I reflected on the point that they have known each other for 10 years - a long engagement would seem to be beside the point . Anyway , I have always felt that the ladies look so lovely in their hanbock - but Okdoo and Youjing look especially gorgeous ! ByunDoo was so touching in his send off to Haein and in fact , it is obvious how much both parents love Haein . AT the end of the day , they are both happy for her , and know she is going to be alright ....with Kiwoong and the Changs .

Kiwoong is like a little kid and could not sleep . He must have been pinching himself all day too - he probably can't believe it . Haein absolutely rocks the traditional bride outfit .

I was wrong about InBoem . He wishes Jongnam and Sukhyun happiness and he is only the second person to do so - after Haein . What ever his motives were in offering her the internship , she has turned him down and he has graciously accepted it .

There is storm brewing at the front gate of the wedding venue as OkDoo sees Jaeman and goes to introduce him to ByunDoo ---- emoticon of all places !


Mini BB Marathon Alert !!
138

I could not help myself and kept going - probably because the action is getting so good - and also because BB land is a very comfortable place to be on a warm Sunday afternoon .

I have been thinking about Jaeman . Yes , he is caught by ByunDoo and get's punched . He spends his time at the wedding in the men's room . In other words , he misses the occasion . Not only that ( although he couldn't possibly know that OkDoo was Haein's aunt ) he ends up ruining the occasion for ByunDoo , Youjung and Okdoo . Instead of being happy for Haein and concentrating on the wedding , they can only think about the digesting Jaeman /Mr Kim . Okdoo is devastated , ByunDoo is disgusted and I am sure Youjung doesn't know what to think .

Nara is clueless and YouJung is th done who has to tell her . JAeman is caught again ! . It is almost impossible to feel sorry for Nara - at least for me , so I will see Jaeman's behavior as a separate issue . He is incorrigible , and maybe they were never going to be happy together because they were so different . Did Nara stay with him all these years to save face ??

Does anybody else realize that we never see Nara's family of origin ? We believe that all the money came with her , but is she somewhat disowned ?? Or is this a cultural difference that I am missing ?

Kiwoong and Haein are leaving for their honey moon on their bikes - the country side looks beautiful but I think I would have lost the balloons emoticon . Actually , I wonder if public transportation would have been a better idea , but there wouldn't have been the freedom to go where they want when they want .

Not surprising ly , Kiwoong passes out on the floor . He has been up all night and rode a bike all day .
I am surprised Haewin is still standing .

In the meantime , Nara is kicking Jaeman out - lock stock and barrel . I guess he didn't have a lot of time because we see her bagging up some of his stuff . So he is gone and she is left alone in a large silent house - who does she call ? Sukhyun . He tells her he is working late ( which he maybe doing but I tend to think he is meeting Jongnam because when else can they see each other ?

So now , Nara is the one who does not get it . Sukhyun is as determined to marry Jongnam as Nara is to prevent it . She has not yet met her match in a battle of wills and I think that she underestimates Sukhyun but we shall see .

IS Jongnam experiencing nausea ??? Minsook is noticing weight loss ? Oh yeah , I forgot a new gym membership emoticon


back in a few days ( I really MUST stop - maybe I should binge watch something else ) emoticon

Re:


lol... I'll catch up, and pass you if I can. lol Really getting good. After reading your posts I really wanted to do the same, mini marathon watch. But it IS playoffs and I AM a Dodger fan. So will catch up by next weekend (hopefully).

In 138 you mention about how Suky is as determined to marry Jongnam as Nara is to prevent it. Made me think... of course Suky would have many of Nara's traits, since she raised him. She may not have shown him her ugly side but he must have seen her strength and stubborness over these many years and picked up something. He can be just as hard headed as momma can.

As far as Jaeman goes.. I think he is a creep. He is a nice creep, but a creep none the less. I wonder how his and Nara's relationship began, and when/how it started to go sour. Nara can be overbearing, controlling, etc. and maybe that was too much for Jaeman's fragile ego. He needed stroking and seems to like the kind of gentle soul that Okdoo is. But Nara has never been an Okdoo so perhaps that drove Jaeman to other women. Regardless, he's wrong. And, regardless, Nara is a horror, and must have always been. I seriously do not think she morphed into this personality. I think this is just HER.. Jaeman and Nara never should have been.

Be back after I watch.... emoticon

Re:


137

Good episode. Minsook is put on the spot when Suky asks her about how she would handle having one of the kids bringing home someone Minsook didn't like. Nara is waiting her response. It's like Nara is in control of everyone's opinions. Minsook was so put in a corner re that. She said parents have to give in because you don't want to see your child in pain. She's really talking about Suky! Why Suky put her on the spot I don't know, considering what he knows about her being his bio mother. Poor Minsook She's terrified of Nara. Nara comes home and is furious. Doesn't matter what Minsook says/thinks, Nara is gonna take it as an insult to HER.

Wedding plans going so well. Haein's mother has come around and accepted and actually doesn't seem put out at all that her beloved daughter is marrying beneath her. I believe Yujeong realizes that her daughter is going to be loved in that house. That has to give her some peace. Loved the talk her and Haein had and loved when Haein talked with her dad. All's well....

Jaeman is caught!!! He is such a creep. More so this watch than before. And right now he's only thinking of himself, and getting caught. What has he done to poor Okdoo!!!! Shame on him. Funny, cuz i know Byungdoo is gonna deck Jaeman... he'll have hit both father and son. But I love Byungdoo.

Haein looked incredibly beautiful. Oh how I love that hanbok wedding look over the American style white wedding dress.

CP is such a nice guy. He admitted he knew Jongnam didn't reciprocate his feelings and he was honest in saying he had hoped in time she would come to care for him. He knows now that her and Suky are going to stay together and he wishes them both well. I know Jongnam is still a bit uneasy around CP but it must make her feel better to know she doesn't have to deal with his feelings for her. CP is keeping that overseas offer open to her and asks her to discuss it with Suky. I think it's a great idea and wish she'd go for it (uh, if she weren't 'you know'.) It'd give Nara time to come to grips with Suky and Jongnam. Suky could got visit Jongnam and vice versa. Oh well.

Interesting - I never looked at it that way ....I just thought there was no way either one of them would ever go for it

Re:


Geese what episode did I just watch? LOL Oh well, it's either 138 or 139 Jaeman moves in with Minsook & Jaedo. He actually thought it was ok for him to sleep in Kiwoong's room? Seriously? They just redid that room brand new for the newly weds, and some cheater creep wants to sleep in there? I'm so glad granny made him sleep with her.

I found Jaeman to be an absolute creep in this round. He could care less about morals, or considerations of others. Yes, I still think him and Okdoo made a great couple but I now think he would have cheated on her even if he ended up with her. He's a total scum to me. He sleeps in granny's room and then complains about her snoring. He wants to eat there, sleep there and doesn't seem to get off his butt to contribute in any way. He goes in the kitchen and (yes it was in a nice way) asks Minsook to give him water. Get your own damn water!! And then tries to steal granny's pouch? OMG, how dare he. I'm so disgusted with him right now!

Kiwoong and Haein are biking around where ever. I agree... GET RID OF THE BALLOONS. lol they must pull and with the wind blowing against them, cause it to be more difficult to pedal. They're tired from the biking.

Nara manages to put a dig in Suky, trying to make him feel obligated to her. She''s lived with his father all these years, with him cheating on her, for SUKY'S sake. She didn't want people to look at Suky thinking he had a flaw (like divorced parents). So all that she has done for him..... (don't be with Jongnam).

Suky is so devoted to Jongnam. He really does love this girl. He can't seem to get enough of her. He wants to spend every moment he can with her. Where's MY Suky? He takes her to work out and she fainted. Now we can say it... PREGNANT!!!

note: Now that Nara doesn't have Jaeman around to distract her.. she'll be hovering over Suky like never before.
