Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)


When Ki-chang's lawyer said he has lost only one case, I was thinking he's probably had only one case before Ki-chang!

Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)


Although I'm usually on Ujin's "side," I had mixed emotions about his and Yunhui's interaction in last night's episode. It was pretty one-sided on Ujin's part, I thought. I think he loves her but I don't think love is what came across last night. . .more that Yunhui better accept his plans if she wanted to be with him. For instance, when was the last time any of us saw a "potential bride" look as unhappy as Yunhui did during the scenes. Ujin either didn't see that or just didn't respond to it.
   After telling her his plans for their future, he never once stood back and asked her, "Are you okay with all this?" "Why do you look so unhappy?" She was sort of on the spot. . .how could she tell him after hearing the plans he mapped out that she didn't want to leave Korea or leave her family without trying to repair things with them. How could she say anything to him, without fearing he might get get upset and leave? I felt for her because she just looked so unhappy.
   In any culture, sometimes when women get upset and share it with a male partner, his response is to want to "fix it" and that isn't always what women want, especially if they are just venting. And particularly with emotional issues. They can't just be "fixed." Emotional issues have to unwind, work themselves out.
   Yunhui is not the personality type to stand there and say, "Whoa, back the cart up, Ujin. We can't just walk away from everything and think we're going to be happy for the rest of our lives in a foreign country. There have got to be other options. Let's think if there is anything else we can do than just walk away from it all." She may not be the type to speak up like that but I bet it was all going through her head. But what could she say? She wants to be with Ujin but maybe not as unconditionally as he was putting it forth.
   I know, I lknow, love isn't always as idealistic as it might be (and I can attest to that in my own life). But I thought he could have been a little more mature in presenting it, considering his age.
   By the way, I think that is why Yunhui jumped so quickly to rush home when her dad told her the news. . .not only was she concerned for her mother, but subconsciously it gave her an immediate "out" to the dilemma with Ujin. Maybe that's what Uncle Priest had been praying for. emoticon

Don't approve of Ujin making that ruckus trying to make Yunhui come out. He is so rude. There is no excure for that even for what he calls "love".
He is so immature and selfish. He can't balme his parents for that.

Deleted Scenes from Ep. 50 (Sun) - Some of this is the somewhat shortened version - I've come to realize that one can only type "Excuse me?" and "What?" so many times . . .

1. Myeonghui (M) and Cheolsuk (CK) - CK is alone in the couple's room, holding the back of her neck, complaining about still hurting and that M really beat her hard and it still hurts. M comes home as CK is coming out of the couple's room]
M - What are you doing coming out of someone else's newlywed room?
CK - It's not someone else's newlywed room. It's my brother's room. ... I went into his room to find something. So what? [M drops bags on floor and looks upset, CK continues:] Goodness. Are you going to beat me to death?
M - I never beat you to death.
CK - You did. You hit me. You did! I should install a camera here. You did hit me! [CK then proceeds to grabbing (or pushing?) M's shoulder twice]
M - Why are you pushing me again?
CK - I'm upset because you hit me. What are you going to do? ... Kim Myeonghui listen up. I decided to stop being civil with you after you beat me up. So it's none of your business what I do and where. Don't even talk to me. Got that?
M - Why do you despise me so much? What don't you like about me?
CK - What don't I like?
M - That's right.
CK - Everything! All of you! [CK then goes in her room and shuts the door and M hits herself on her forehead several times.]

I don't understand how they choose some of the scenes to delete. Deleting the scene above makes sense in terms of it being more of the same in the new sisters-in-law's difficult relationship. But, they also deleted a similar scene from Saturday's episode so it's not really more of the same for those who see the deleted version.

Obviously they're not going to choose to delete a real cliffhanger, but deleting the scene between Yeonghui (Y) and her lawyer (YL) left out a funny & interesting bit of information. Not a cliffhanger, but read on for the details . . .

2. Yeonghui (Y) and her lawyer (YL) [Note - this follows Y on the phone with her Mom (M). M is home and Granny (G) is feeding M fruit. G tells M she has to eat healthy and stay well. G also tells M to tell Y not to call because she (Y) is the cause of the family's stress. "Tell her not to call or even come over here. You got sick because of her." M tells Y this, but Y says she'll bring the boys over on the weekend and will be a good daughter now. Y then gets served with the divorce papers and Ki-Chang (K) comes home right after her. In the course of the conversation K lets Y know that he got a job and was lecturing all morning "so I can win against you in court." Y's not happy about being the defendant - "How can you make me the defendant? Am I some kind of perpetrator?" K says he's the victim and Y wants to know how he's been victimized. K - "In every way. In every single way!" K also says "I told you to take your pot plants and get out of here." (Note - "pot plants" comes up again later and I'm trying to decide if they mean" potted plants"; as opposed to marijuana - what do you think? Can't say that I've seen any pot plants in the apartment. It's probably a transalation thing or else I've really missed something in this drama!) At one point Y says "Honey" and K says "I'm not your honey." The boys come home and K makes plans to change and meet them outside to play basketball. The next scene is Y in the lawyer's office. Y's lawyer (YL) is a woman]
YL - They're just regular divorce papers. There's nothing unusual. Do you intend to sue him too?
Y - Sue him?
YL - He attacked. You must take charge!
Y - Will that give me the kids?
YL - We need to see about that, but I've never lost a case.
Y - I see . . . but . . . Most of all, I can't believe he wants full custody. How can he make me the perpetrator of this marriage? I worked hard for 17 years for him and his family! How dare he?
YL - That's what men are like. They're so dirty and cowardly when it comes to break ups.
Y - I see. Are you married yourself?
YL - I got divorced 3 years ago too.
Y - I see.
YL - I sued my husband. I got compensation of $2 million.
Y - [first sign of surprise comes here] Really? He must've been rich.
YL - I invested his money and increased his funds.
Y - I see
YL - Anyway, that and my 4 children
Y - [second sign of surprise here] You had 4 children?
YL - Yes. That wasn't enough for him. He had another child with some other woman.
Y - [more surprise] Really? He's terrible!
YL - So I took everything. That dog he raised . . . and his 3 pot plants [here they are again!]. I put them on a van and kicked him out.
Y - Pot plants?
YL - My 4 daughters and I moved to our current home. Will you trust me and sue your husband Gwon Ki-Chang?
Y - If I do, will I be able to raise my children?
YL - Do you have a dog?
Y - No, we live in an apartment.
YL - Do you have pot plants? [There they are yet again!]
Y - Yes
YL - If I take on your case, your husband will be left with 3 pot plants.
Y - Really? Can I really throw him out with 3 pot plants and nothing else?
YL - That's right.
Y - Thanks so much. Can I ask how your husband is doing right now?
YL - He works in the office next door.
Y - Excuse me?
YL - He's a lawyer, same as me. [Aha! Ki-Chang's lawyer is in the office next door (which we find out when Y and K end up in the hallway outside after their respective meetings with their lawyers! This means that the only case K's lawyer ever lost was his own divorce, which he lost to his ex-wife (who is Y's lawyer). Y does not know this yet when she's in her lawyer's office, but we do.]
Y - But why the same building?
YL - He's obsessed with me. That foul loser! He graduated top of his class, but lost to me. How about it. Does that prove how good I am?
Y - Of course.
[The next scene is of K meeting with his lawyer and then running into Y in the hallway between the lawyers' offices.]

Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)


On the "pot plants," I can't imagine they are anything other than ordinary household potted plants. Marijuana is a huge 'no-no' in Korea. You get prosecuted big time even if you smoke it in a foreign country and the ROK government hears about it. There have been a couple of celebs making the news in the recent past, being called in for interrogation about having smoked a few joints while in the U.S. at a friend's house.

Besides that, this drama is a KBS production and KBS is the state-owned and subsidized TV station there. That's why it is the biggest, most powerful Korean TV broadcaster there. It is also why it is the most conservative in its productions.

Thanks again for the deleted scenes, Kdfancier. It hadn't occurred to me that the two lawyers are a divorced couple. More fireworks ahead for Ki-chang and Yeonghui!

Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)


Ep 51 (Sat)

Ujin arrives at the church to get married. No Yunhui. Uncle tells him she has returned home. Ujin is shattered, the bouquet dropping to the floor. Ujin asks ‛why‛? Uncle only pats him on the shoulder and walks out of the chapel, leaving Ujin to his own thoughts.

Yunhui arrives home hysterically looking for Mom, who is gardening in the yard. After big hugs, mom drags Yunhui into the house by her ear. Granny is greatly relieved and happy to see Yunhui, even crying. Mom is determined to beat Yunhui with a broom to teach her a lesson. Dad comes home, steps between Yunhui and his wife, telling her to go make meat for dinner to celebrate Yunhui‛s return.

Back at the church, Ujin drags himself out of the chapel and sits on a bench in the garden, still wondering what has happened. He looks at the wedding bouquet he brought—the breeze blowing away some of its petals.

At home, Yunhui is happy about being back within the family fold. Doesn‛t look like she‛s thinking too much about her wedding that should be taking place right about now. But, of course, she‛s more concerned about her mom‛s cancer and being there for her.

While she is working the cash register at the soup kitchen, Myeonhui calls Granny, who tells her Yunhui has returned.

After dark, Ujin strides up to Yunhui‛s gate, tearfully staring at it. Inside, the family is having the celebration dinner for Yunhui‛s return. Ujin continues on to his home. No one is in the front room and he does not announce himself, just directly goes up to his room. Both parents, in their rooms, hear him but say nothing.

Back at Yunhui‛s, Dad sits on the swing thinking about everything. He is troubled. Inside, Yunhui lays out her wedding dress, now thinking about Ujin and what has happened. Ujin calls—she doesn‛t answer. She takes off her heart hair clip and puts it with her folded wedding dress, then leaves the room. Ujin hurls his phone onto the floor, smashing it. He does not understand how Yunhui can just disappear, leaving him alone at the altar without a word, then refusing to talk with him on the phone.

Donghun comes home. Dad tells him Mom has cancer. He is devastated. Yunhui comes out and Dad leaves them to cry with each other—they are the only ones he has told.

Yeonghui meeting with her attorney as they eat nice take-out meals. Recounts what a strict, complaining dictator Ki-chang was during their marriage.

Ki-chang meeting with his attorney next door, eating instant ramen (Cup of Noodles type stuff). Recounts what an incompetent, slovenly wife Yeonghui was.

Both accounts are pretty disgusting, actually, but Ki-chang‛s attorney tells him they will lose from how he is describing his behavior as a husband. Such a nit-picker over tiny details. Both attorneys tell each client to get some real evidence about their spouse.

At the soup restaurant, Myeonghui is tallying the books on the day‛s receipts when Cheolsuk comes home. Cheolsuk gets mad and grabs the books and money away from her. This has always been Cheolsuk‛s job. More fighting over the account books. Myeonghui pushes Cheolsuk down hard onto the floor—twice. Cheolsu comes home once again to the crying women, each seeking to get him on her side.

Cheolsuk talks privately with his sister (though Myeonghui can hear everything), getting on her case about her behavior. He tells her he has been lenient out of consideration for her being lonely now, but no more. He lays down the law with Cheolsu—stop fighting with Myeonghui and address her respectfully as sister-in-law. One more incident of fighting and he will either kick her out, or marry her off. She can‛t believe her ears.

Next, he goes to his room where Myeonghui awaits. She is expecting him to be angry, but he only asks to see the books. He compliments her on doing them well, hands the book back to her. Meanwhile Cheolsuk is crying in her room, holding her mother‛s photo and talking to it. Cheolsu asks his wife if she hit Cheolsuk, which she denies. He keeps asking in a way that indicates he knows she did, but she keeps denying it. However, it seems she gets the point that she needs to stop this behavior without him directly saying it.

That night, Yeonghui sneaking around Ki-chang‛s study with a flashlight in the middle of the night. He hears her. She‛s looking for "evidence." Meanwhile, he goes to the bedroom with a flashlight going through Yeonghui‛s dresser drawers, closet, etc. They run into each other in the living room area.

Myeonghui goes to her family‛s house to see her mother, who is in bed. She‛s really there to get more advice from Granny. Mom isn‛t feeling well and Myeonghui is a pest, but soon leaves to go talk with Granny, more complaining about Cheolsuk.

Donghun tells Hyejin about mom‛s cancer.

Ujin comes down for breakfast, but doesn‛t speak with his mother until she speaks first. Dad comes in. Breakfast quickly deteriorates into a big argument between the parents when Dad keeps blabbing about Yunhui having returned home, did they break up, etc. Ujin excuses himself and goes upstairs to get dressed for work.

As Myeonghui is leaving to go home, she bumps into Ujin as he walks by to work. She tells him about Yunhui but Ujin is somber. He leaves and continues on to work. She wonders if they had a fight? Ujin stops and goes back, grabbing Yunhui when she comes out with the trash. In the playground, Ujin wants an answer why she changed her mind—without a word—less than 30 minutes before their wedding. Yunhui tells him their marriage is wrong and hurts the families too much. She now views him only as her cousin. Ujin replies that it‛s fine she has returned to her happy family... but where can I return to? I have hit on my cousin and embarrassed my family. She asks what will he do? Ujin doesn‛t know. He walks away.

Fadeout...

I didn‛t like the last scene. Yunhui took a hard stance to Ujin, then when he is heartbroken, she acts almost as if she doesn‛t want him to leave. Worse, Yunhui‛s blubbering has returned. Lies, lies, and more lies.

Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)


I was irritated in Sat nite's episode when Teach tells Ujin he can only be a cousin to her then acted like she was hurt when he turned and left. She's pushing him away and jerking him back with her actions/tears.

Then in tonight's episode she actually goes to the airport and cries and tells him to find someone else. If she'd leave him alone he probably could!! lol

I found it so silly that dad is sitting on the floor hanging his head while telling his wife she only has a cyst on her lung that needs to be removed. He's acting so guilty and crushed over it but tells her it's nothing. Reminds me of that drama where the husband kept the death of their daughter from his wife. That one was one for the record books!!

Ujin introduces Soup Guy's sister to his partner. She'll take Ujin's place managing that new singing group. At least it'll get her out of the house and hopefully get her to quit acting so petty and jealous over her brother getting married. You'd think her and her brother were boyfriend/girlfriend the way each acts so possessive of the other.

3 sons' mom/dad.... mute mute mute (although last night I did laugh at dad and his lawyer)..

So I think Ujin did not leave for the U.S because of crybaby Yunhui running to the airport telling him the real story why she changed her mind. Tthey will still end up together even tho the elders are against it, but remember this is a K-drama where love conquers all and always have a happy ending. Yuck, I'm gonna barf!!

Slantyeye, I could not agree with you more. This is a marriage made to fail. The two of them Ujin and Crybaby are so immature and unlikable. As to the Soup Guy, he managed to marry a selfish, inconsiderate, irritating and immature girl.
