Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)
Thanks so much, kdfancier, for your post. It always makes so much more sense when someone else does the write-up. Everything you added is accuratet but I have just one thing to clarify and I can't ask easily because I don't remember how Ujin said it. But what threw me off was. . .when they first started talking at the gate, didn't he say something that made it seem that he knew why her priest uncle had come to visit, mainly to talk with her father about the registry? I can't remember where I got that impression.
Also, from early on in the series, I always got the impression he didn't believe she was on the Kim registry and he thought she was just making it up. But your point about why does he look so sad and have tears in his eyes is a good one. All along, I've thought he was just going along with her pretense that she was now a Kim.
I guess I'm about 95% convinced but I'll hold out for that 5% that he knows she's still a Choi..
More importantly,  I am so glad that I am not the only one who was taken with his expressive eyes. And yes, I mourn the haircut. Bet he lets it grow back in.

Nsheldon, You're a week ahead of me, so I can only respond to what you said and not what I've seen, aside from what I saw in last night's episode.
First, I get why Donghun is so angry/hurt/unreasonable. He saw a moment of intimacy between his wife and another man that made his heart crumble. He knew at that moment that she'd never looked at him that way and probably never would. That would leave anyone heartsick and Donghun is heartsick, aside from his behaving badly. He's going on pure emotions right now and not making smart choices. The fact that they live with a bunch of other people leaves almost no room for them to fight it out or work it out. The fact that he didn't speak to his family about Hye Jin's infidelity is probably a good thing. I don't know how she'd be able to go back to that house if they knew.
So, what was the purpose of sending her to Paris, just to stay home and be a house wife? I truly do not understand that way of thinking. They sold their house to send her to Paris now she is working and is happy, okay, she did not rebuff her bosses affection but she did nothing wrong. So why is hubby so unreasonable? Because he has become aware she does not truly love him?
I fail to see the seriousness of this situation. Sorry, but I would never give up my career because of a stupid misunderstanding, no matter what!
She is not going to love him any better or more she will just be as miserable as she has always been. This is what makes her happy, to be out of the house and teaching her craft. Well, we will see how it develops.
That MIL drive me bunkers with her self grandoise opinions, she has no right to interfere when both husband and wife has made a decision regarding their affairs, why is she so angry?
That is why I think it better to have your own household than living with nosy in laws who interferes. Okay, I will hear this is their way but it is not so anymore, more and more husband and wives are living on their own.
Enlighten me please.
Hye Jin for her part thinks she nothing wrong, but of course she did. She fed into Sung Wu's attraction to her. She may never have meant for it to go any further than the little passionate glances and intimate gazes, and that may have worked if her husband didn't witness it first hand. The only way she could have been innocent in all of this, was to leave her job, no matter how great a job it is, as soon as she recognized Sung Wu's intent.
I'm not interested in the soul mate theory. She'd have to leave her husband, her child and remove herself from the family in order to pursue a relationship with Sung Wu. I think she'd have to be passionately in love with him and I don't believe she is. Not to mention his wife, his father and all that that entails. I don't believe she'd do it.
I can understand her husband wanting her to quit the museum and I believe she should, if it could save her marriage. To tell her to stay home and be a housewife is a horse of a different color. The sad thing is Donghun didn't stop trusting her because he thinks she'll cheat on him. At this point I don't think its a matter of trust. I think he doesn't know how there could be a future for them as husband and wife, because he saw that she doesn't love him, and that's what he saw that night, when she saw her looking into Sung Wu's eyes so lovingly. He's feeling betrayed.
I figured out what bothered me about Ujin and Teach. I can't stand Teach! There I've said it! She's as annoying to me as she was in the beginning episodes when she was wailing every minute. I think Ujin is much to good for her and he should pursue other women. Of course he won't and if he does, he'll still wind up with this irritating person. Too bad.

Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)
Ujin does not know Yunhui has not been officially adopted by the Kims—and neither do we, unless it was in a deleted scene. From the scenes I saw last night, all that has been said is that there is a secret "issue" about Yunhui and that Dad needs to resolve it once and for all with Uncle Priest. (The only people who know are Dad, Mom, Yunhui and probably Uncle.) Then when Dad and Uncle are having tea alone, they skirt the issue again, then the scene cuts before anything definitive is said. There are a couple of other scenes with Yunhui talking with her Uncle but it has never really been said that a legal adoption did or did not take place. Uncle only asks her if she is happy and if this is what she wants. Her reply is that she feels the way her "dad" (Mr. Kim) feels. The "This" has not been identified, not that I recall. The audience, though, understands there doesn't seem to be an official adoption yet. According to the previews last night, we will see this come to a head tonight, especially with Ujin.
As for Ujin always denying Yunhui was a real member of the family, I think that was just one of his ways to teasingly torment her all the time, that she's not really his cousin, nor a real member of the family—which always greatly annoyed and upset her in past episodes. Now that Ujin has awakened to love growing between them, he is only wishing she weren't his cousin. That's why he was so sorrowfully burdened in last night's scene. If only she weren't his legal cousin... But, alas, he still thinks she is, so he asks for only the 5 minutes of pretense she is still a Choi. He grabs her in his usual one-arm method, but then, his heart broken, he puts his other arm around her, holding her tightly.
Ujin's hair? Both his mother and would-be girlfriend like his new "clean" look. But when Yunhui stood before him, all she could say, in a rather sad way, was, "You look so different." To me, his new cut looks goofy, especially those bangs. Give me back my Ujin!

 Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)
kittypaws - I'm with nchristie on Ujin not knowing that the there may be an issue with the adoption and that he was previously just teasing her about not being a Kim.
I don't know which scenes were deleted from Ep 37 as I have to watch on MVIBO (where I went back over the subs for the following). There was a scene where Myeonghui visits Ujin at his house to go over outfits for the boy band. While she is there Ujin (acting unconcerned) asks her how Yunhui is doing and also tells her that he heard Yunhui has a boyfriend. Myeonghui is surprised to hear about the possible boyfriend and says that she will ask Yunhui about it when she gets back from seeing her uncle. Ujin is quite surprised to hear that Yunhui has an uncle. Myeonghui tells him that the uncle is a missionary priest who is in Korea now, but was away for 5 years and that Yunhui is meeting him today.
Later that night, when Ujin sees Yunhui he tells her that she's late. She says, "yes, I met someone." Ujin says "Your uncle?" and Yunhui is surprised that he would know that and asks him "How did you know?" Ujin tells her that Myeonghui told him. He then tells her that it's late and to go inside. As she's heading away he asks her "Yunhui - was it nice meeting your uncle?" (it looks to me that on his part this is more to make small talk and keep her there than Ujin suspecting anything). Yunhui says "yes, I haven't seen him in a long time." That's the last mention of the uncle, from there it turns into the "what if you were still Choi Yunhui" and asking her to be Choi Yunhui for "just a moment" or "for just 5 minutes", the signature one armed grab, and then the 2 armed holding.
nchristie thank you for the picture! I like Lee Pilmo in short or long hair, but think the long hair was working really well for this role. This is not a great short cut for him. The bangs not only look goofy, but are also threatening to block his eyes. Oh no!

Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)
Edit: Apologies if some of what I've written overlaps with what others have already written. I wrote this before I saw the latest posts here.
Ep 37 (Sat)
Deleted scenes... [Answered above by Kdfancier] class ul Ujin alone in his room, on his bed depressed as he flashes back to Pilyong describing Yunhui with a new BF, the guy putting his arm around her. He thinks about Yunhui seeing him with the new girl, his arm around her, the devastated look on Yunhui‛s face. Just then Myeonghui enters the house and talks with Hwayeong, then heads upstairs to Ujin‛s room. She gives him some paperwork. Downstairs, the new GF calls and this must be when Hwajeong sets up the dinner date with her and that she‛ll bring Ujin to join them. Back upstairs, Ujin tries to nonchalantly ask Myeonghui about Yunhui. This must be when Myeonghui tells him that Yunhui‛s uncle is here.Sungwu goes to see Hyejin to ask about her resignation. When Hyejin returns from the park from briefly speaking with Sungwu, her father starts in berating her, telling her she shouldn‛t be walking around the neighborhood. Does she want everybody to know she has been shamefully thrown out by her husband? Already upset, Hyejin goes to her room, listening to her father continue his tirade about how smart she is and look what she‛s doing, etc. Just then, Donghae calls and tells her he will come over, wanting to talk with her. But first, he has a favor to ask. He wants her to call his parents because they‛re upset she only "calls" Donghun and he wants her to do this "before the situation gets out of hand." That‛s it for Hyejin. Between her father‛s scathing denunciation outside her door and Donghun wanting her to call his parents and pretend she‛s in Paris, Hyejin explodes. She tells him off. How dare he want her to call and lie to his parents. Everything already is "out of hand." Her family is a total wreck, he‛s made a fool out of them and all he cares about is making things pleasant for his parents and family? ‛I resigned for you but I won‛t do this,‛ she tells him. "Now that you‛ve broken my wings and left me to rot, are you happy?" [best line of the drama so far!] Donghun tries to calm the situation, never imagining that Hyejin would have this reaction. He tells her he will come over later and they can talk then. "I don‛t want to see you... Don‛t come over," she yells at him, ending the call. Ooops... Donghun realizes this isn‛t exactly what he had in mind...
Deleted scene... class ul Myeonghui, with tons of bags and clothes, gets out of a taxi. As she struggles with the pile, Cheolsu stops beside her in his red convertible. He talks cheerfully with her, she acts proud, and he says good-bye and drives off without seeing or offering to help her with her clothes. The next scene is Myeonghui at home asking Granny for advice on what‛s going on with Cheolsu and Granny saying she is finished giving advice to her because she never listens... she just goes running after someone like BF from H.On her way home from work, Yeonghui gets upset seeing Ki-chang playing with his sons on the playground, while she‛s working so hard.
Ujin meets with the corporate businessmen. He comes out to tell his mother in the restaurant with New GF that he has to go drinking with them and won‛t be able to eat with them.
Yunhui and Dad go meet her uncle, a priest at an orphanage. They talk. Dad goes home, leaving Yunhui to have dinner alone with her uncle. As she walks home alone at night, she thinks about being happy as Dad‛s daughter. Then her thoughts change to her times with Ujin and her feelings for him. As she rounds the corner near her gate, she sees Ujin standing there, ending in the intense scene described by others—which is actually an 8-minute scene.
Tonight should be a good one!
The song played during that scene is so beautiful. It is a group with beautiful harmonies (not the solo song that is usually the theme). I can look it up, but does anyone know offhand which group this is?

Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)
Thanks for the additional recap Nchristi. It sounds like this one is starting to get better. I don't dislike everyone on the show (not quite everyone). I really cannot listen to 3 sons mom and her mother (mom at the house). All either of them do is complain and yell. I MUTE when they're on.
I'm liking the story of Ujin and Teach. I thought a long time ago that the only way for Ujin and her to be together is if her adoption was not registered. Apparently it was never even submitted... GOOD!!
Tonight they let us know it wasn't submitted because Uncle Priest had not approved (until now). I'm not sure but did Yunhui know her uncle had never approved and that the paperwork hadn't been submitted?
Sungwu goes to see Hyejin and is upset that Donghun threw her out when nothing had happened. Then he tells her to go away with him, to live for herself. I think she cares for him but she would never ever do that. She has a daughter so I have to believe that she will go back home and they will work it out...... or, that he'll hand over the daughter and ..... lol

Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)
All of you who posted remembered far more than I about the registry issue. . .so thanks for all the additional info. Plus, it became a little more clear in tonight's episode. I wonder if Yunhui is going to ask to not be adopted, which, of course, would break her dad's heart.
And what a great picture . . .thanks, nchristi.

Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)
Its funny how everyone keeps saying 'nothing happened' between Sung Wu and Hye Jin. Of course something happened, unless I don't know what I'm seeing.
No, nothing physical happened, but infidelity doesn't always include physical contact. I knew a couple, where the husband's passion was shopping. When his wife found out he had a lady friend out at the stores with him, you'd think she'd caught him in the act. The point is, neither Hye Jin nor Sung Wu would be looking at each other so intimately, or behaving in the way they behave in private, in front of her husband. That's the test. Is it appropriate for her husband to see? Its not? Its wrong!!
Then he gets a friend to get in touch with her for him? Does he not know how wrong that is? Had her husband found out they were sneaking around to meet, what would he think? Even if he'd be mistaken, it would still be wrong to meet that way, unless you want to make trouble. To almost admit to this friend that he's in love with a married woman? Wrong!!
His actions have been inappropriate from the start and He continues to be inappropriate. She, for her part has allowed this. Her husband seeing those photos was bad. They say a picture's worth a thousand words. His heart broke when he saw how she looked at another man in those pictures.
Of course I hate Donghun's way of punishing her. He can call it a time apart to think, but nitty gritty, he's punishing her. She's never had a chance to talk about what happened. I'm not sure she has any defense, except to keep saying nothing happened. She can't deny it was her that he saw looking lovingly into another man's eyes. I do think they need to talk about their marriage and try to find a way to live together getting past this. I think he's being way too harsh, but I also get his anger. He needs to try to find a way back to her, so they can at least have a conversation without him being so self-righteous.
Let me add that I hate Yunhui and her constant crying. I wish Ujin would do anything except end up with her, but he will. She always looks like a glazed donuts, face all scrunched up and wet. YUK!!! I know I'm in the minority, but I have to say it.

Re: K-Drama: 사랑을 믿어요 (My Love, My Family)
I'll never forgive the husband for dumping Hyejin, Now, after talking to his wise Dad, he realized he did a very grave mistake in mistreating his wife.
If I were Hyejin, I'll never go back to that household but I can't go with Sangwu either. I'll have to think of my daughter. She is the most important person to me right now. I was not there for the first few years of her life, now how can I abandon her again.
The first mistake the husband did was to send her to Paris to study and then expect her to be a at home mother when she came back??
That does not make sense.

I know I'm in the minority, but I have to say it. In those jurisdictions which require causes for divorce, they all depend upon physical relations to prove adultery. It is impossible to prove what an opponent is thinking. If it were true that thoughts are a cause for action, one could divorce any spouse who looked at magazines, photographs or online images with lust.
