Re:


154/155

Watched two episodes today 154/155. Suky is dying and refused to tell Jongnam. Jongnam hears it from Suky's Dr. She immediately decides to abort her baby (since she is a match for a liver transplant). She's sorry to her baby but she can't live w/o Suky. Thankfully, Jaeok stops the abortion.

Minsook and Jaedo are horrified to hear that someone (granny and grandpa) received money from Nara in exchange for Suky. That's how it looks to them now... They sold their baby. Granny (and I believe her) says she saw an envelop passed to her husband but didn't even know if it was money, nor how much. She obviously had no say so about anything at the time. And her husband basically kept the money for himself. But Jaedo and Minsook are furious.

I couldn't believe how Jaedo kept saying how he and Minsook should go beg Nara. Seriously, Jaedo is so ignorant of the reality of that woman!! Minsook knows tho. And she's suffered all these years at the hands of Nara. But she knows now why Nara always acted so high and mighty... The money.

Even tho Jaeman tells Nara that Suky collapsed, she refuses to let herself be seen showing fear, or concern about it. But she is very concerned. She finally goes to the hospital only to see Jaedo and Minsook rushing in. She leaves then.

I feel so bad for Suky. But when Jaedo and Minsook comes in the hospital room, Suky acted so rude. I guess I understand. But still I was irritated.

I (also) don't want to even discuss that idiot ex of Okdoo's. He is just too creepy, manipulative and too much a low life to talk about.

Actually, there were a couple scenes I don't remember. I really am getting old. lol

Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


155

I think .LOL . Actually I watched this episode last night but fell asleep before I could post . This part made me feel sad as the family finds out about Sukhyun's illness . I admire Jongnam's steadfastness , though of course Sukhyun will not hear of her solution to his problem .

The pain that Jaedo and Minsook feels about Sukhyun's illness is palpable - especially Minsooks as she is beginning to comprehend that Sukhyun knows about his origins , yet believes he was sold for money so that a house could be bought .

Ironically , whatever money that changed went directly to the erstwhile patriarch of the Chang clan and had nothing to do with the purchase of the house .

Sukhyun continues to be rude and nasty to Minsook and JAedo . As much as I don't like it , I feel as if his illness gives him a pass .

Sorry , Nelly , but I really like HAein now . She is right where she belongs and is becoming a great support even to Jongnam . I was very touched when Jongnam turned to Haein for support .

Nara , despite the fact that she went to be tested to see if she could be a liver donor , is still being cool to Sukhyun . I guess he should be grateful that she deigned to answer her phone when he called .

Sorry Sukhyun , you still have to pay for marrying someone your "mother " can't stand .

And you know what ? I don't speak Korean , but I noticed that Sukhyun never calls Nara anything but
Ominie .

That is like if we always called our moms "MOTHER " and never mom ....rather tellingly formal ,
 isn't it ?

Re:


I will never like Haein, but I guess I don't hate her like I used to. And I do agree she is where she belongs, and where she is the happiest (being treated like a princess still, but now by Kiwoong). Also, she IS a perfect fit for the Chang family. I do not think she would have been anywhere near as content and happy had she married Suky and lived in that house with snobby Nara. I think over time Haein would have tired of that life.

I just realized (reading your post)... If none of that money helped buy that house, where the heck did house money come from?

Lastly, hadn't thought about what Suky called Nara either. Guess it will always be 'Mother' with her. She is too snooty to accept 'Mom'. Seems like she kept an emotional distance with Suky as well as she's done everyone else. lol Thanks for bringing that to my attention. Funny how many times I've watched this drama and STILL see new things I had missed. Nara keeps everything so proper, even with the son she was so proud of (until he started making decisions on his own).

Sorry.... will post again when I continue. LOL, this post was just in response to yours.

Re:


155/156

Wow, just getting more and more uncomfortable. All this business with Suky being so ill. Jongnam beside herself with fear for him. Nara.... Why is she acting so distraught, as if 'they' did it to her? She really has put herself in the victim seat. Dang she's really too much.

Jaeman is now defending Nara, to Jaeok of all people. Jaeok knows what a controlling monster Nara is and so does Jaeman but he tells Jaeok she shouldn't say anything against Nara. Is he an idiot or what? Yes, he is...

Kiwoong is outraged over his mom's decision to donate part of her liver. He isn't having it. Jaedo came around pretty quick but not because he wanted to. I can't understand why, all these years, Jaedo, Nara, Jaeman, and granny haven't been able to put themselves in Minsook's shoes and realize that she hasn't stopped being Suky's mother. She was forced to give him up in order to save his life. A decision she never regretted but don't any of them understand that when she looks at Suky, she's looking at her own son? They act like she was supposed to forget it or something.

Now that Nara has found out Minsook is the donor I'll be anything she's JEALOUS. She abandoned Suky but Minsook never did. Yet Nara will make it about herself again. Poor victim Nara. She will tell herself Suky has abandoned HER for Minsook. She's so selfish.

I'm glad we're nearing the end. This is getting hard to watch. lol

Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


156

Sukhyun has a donor , albeit anonymous . Jongnams joy is great to behold , and she is so sweet to Sukhyun ...I am starting to wonder if he deserves her . You see , as much as I like his character I am put off at how much of a butt head he is being - especially to Minsook . Even though Nara is not speaking to him , he seems to be playing an homage to her by being just like her . If he weren't so sick , I think I would have to slap him .

Minssok is filling up the freezer and it is obvious ( to us , anyway ) that she is the donor .

I don't know why she would need any one's permission to undergo surgery , but there apparently , she does . Even though she asks Jaedo not to say anything , he starts yelling . Sorry - I like him too , but he is not the sharpest tool in the shed . I think Minsook is the brains of that family .

As far as the house goes , I think that Jaedo and Minsook bought it with hard work and a mortgage . JAedo had a civil service job for years before he was laid off and it is obvious that Minsook is a good manager . It is obvious that Pater familias Chang ( Grams husband ) was a loser and a wastrel so I doubt he contributed anything to that .

You are right , Nelly , this is hard but I am still enjoying and we have to hang in there

Re:


I completely agree about Suky. He is angry at and openly rude to Minsook but has never given anyone the opportunity to tell their sides of the story. Yep, just like his mama!! He should quit acting like such a stubborn baby and confront Minsook and/or Jaedo and let them have their say. But he really is Nara's son!

I don't know about that house tho. Did they ever explain how they got it? They got it quickly after Suky was given over to Nara because granny said her husband took the money and we know that is the house Kiwoong & his sister grew up in. It seemed like Jaedo and Minsook never had much money and if they had the money to buy that house then wouldn't they have had the money to take Suky to America for treatment? I think we'll never know the entire truth.

Be back after watching 157... emoticon

Re:


I think I got my episode count wrong??/ lol I think I watched 159 today. Oh well...

Jongnam goes to the Chang's and finds out Minsook is to be the donor. Then she tells Suky. What the heck is wrong with that guy? He refuses to have the transplant because it's Minsook. He'd rather die, leaving a wife and baby because he is mad at Minsook for 'abandoning' him. Well, that'll sure get back at her, won't it? Die and fix them all! He sure is Nara's son.. So irritating.

Speaking of Nara.. She tells Haien's mother that the Chang family alienated her. EXCUSE ME??? She sits around moping, acting like she is suffering so much and then blames them? She's mad that Minsook is taking back her son. I almost think Nara would rather Suky die than have the Chang's do anything to help him. Nara and Suky are on my 'Most Disliked People' this episode!!

And what's with that creepy ex of Okdoo's? How can he have the nerve to have his belongings sent to Byungdoo's house after Byungdoo had told him to get out that day?

I will get thru this... I will get thru this... I will I will I will.....

Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


157

Happy weekend to all here . I Watched this ep before I went to work , but didn't really have the time to post .

Emotions are high at the Jaedo Chang house - as the truth comes out about Minsook being the donor .

Kiwoong is incensed - and I See his point but I also see Minsooks . She could not help her baby when he was born , but she can and will help him now . Jaedo may not like it but he can't really say anything and neither can Gram . It would help if Kiwoong knew the truth about Sukhyun and his real relationship to their family . It would go a long way to helping him understand WHY Minsook feels so strongly about donating .

Unfortunately , I see a problem coming as Haien spilled the beans to her mother who is a direct pipeline to Nara . Speaking of Nara , she continues to hole up in her house and feel sorry for herself . She is pathological in her rigidity in not giving in and going to see Sukhyun , yet she is skulking around the hospital and sees Jongnam and Sukhyun outside and sitting on a bench . Why on earth would she not go up and say something ?????????

Jaeman keeps trying to get her to go to the hospital ...... whatever his faults are are a separate issue , IMHO

I am going to watch another ep this weekend and stay the course as far as posting . emoticon

Re:


lol, just to note something here re your post. Kiwoong is clueless about the truth, as is Jongnam, Haein, etc. This seems to be the biggest problem. No one knows the TRUTH. Suky thinks he does. But his truth is only that he was 'sold'. He's never faced anyone or asked about the truth. Nara lives in LaLa Land, thinking she gave birth to Suky or something. And she acts like the truth will take Suky from her.

The biggest problem with the Changs, and the rest of them, is that no one wants to talk. Everyone has their secrets and because of that, everyone is misunderstanding the events from past, present and beyond. OMG, very difficult episodes. But we are almost there. emoticon

Re: KDrama Rewatch in the Den : Bizarre Bunch


158

When I was watching the previous episode , it occurred to me that Nara must be like an iceberg - she needs to melt a little to be able to give in . Today I think that if she were an iceberg , she would be able to bring down the Titanic . I wonder if I have seen another character so implacable in her opinion.
I can never give her a pass for anything , but I kind of think that her life in retrospect has been so unhappy and unsatisfying that she is stuck in her own misery . To mention only a couple of issues . she obviously married the wrong guy - he is her opposite and she just can't understand him . Since she can't control him , she hunkers down like a turtle constantly withdrawing into her shell " where it is safe "
She was unable to give birth to her own biological child , but she was able to adopt and save another . Instead of being happy and thankful for the gift that was provided to her , she spent her life either feeling insecure and threatened . AND she tried to control him too - and she is not able to anymore than she could her husband .

Nara says to Gram " he is not my son " , gram says "of course he is - you raised him all these years "

In the meanwhile < Kiwoong agrees to the transplant and I think it is because he saw that Sukhyun's life was really in danger . He doesn't have to be happy about it , but there is nothing like a dose of reality to change one's opinion . I know everyone thinks Minsook is too old ( what is she - 50 ? ) but maybe that has more to do with her health history .

Daejung has a big mouth , but she sure can drive a plot line . Too bad no one seemed to ask people in the family not to say anything . It seems that all of Seoul know who Sukhun's donor is

including Sukhyun . I guess it will hit the fan now .
