Cabbage Your Life Episode 8

Running away from home

Eldest son is on his way to Seoul and finally texted Bo Mi. She literally runs into Officer Park and he reminds her that he is available and would not make his girl cry. Mom has a meltdown when she hears her son has officially dropped out of med school. She runs away from home wanting to see how much they will fall apart without her. She does a lot for her family but it’s still more about appearances and her plans than really listening to anyone in her family. Her tantrum at the spa was overdone and ridiculous. The actress is doing an excellent job of making her more and more unlikable as the story progresses. Eldest son returns and goes to the school and finds out that Bo Mi never got his second text. Luckily for him he is cute and grovels well. The annoying mom is invited to village chief’s home when the poor lady with dementia thinks Ms Cho’s suitcase is her son’s baby stroller. Here I am slightly stunned they are using dementia as a funny aside. I find this tasteless and unnecessary. The son gets a wake up call from dad. Mr Seong stunned him with a simple question. What’s next? He respected his son’s decision but made it clear it wasn’t an end but a beginning so he now needed to decide what direction he was going to take with his life. Mr Seong has agreed to sign Mr Bae’s contract. Whether this is good or bad remains to be seen. Bo Mi txts eldest son that his mom is at her house and village chief’s wife bails dad’s bad pasta out with some real food. I’m still struggling to like the mom but her rice balls we’re just what her sons needed. Initially I thought the chief’s wife was going to be the biggest mean girl but she turns out to be a big softie. She is thoroughly enjoying her neighbor running away from home, but I appreciated her hospitality and wife/gal chat commiserating how unappreciated they often are by hubbies. The mom seems shallow but maybe a real friend would let us see what she’s like without all the scheduling/overseeing she does for the family. With everybody is finally at same location, a redistribution of family management is in order. The ladies have banded together to share ‘real’ food with the abandoned males. 🤣 Dad is both grateful and embarrassed. Bo Mi and Ms Cho have breakfast with an apology and better understanding easing the awkwardness. Mr Bae has sent top grade fertilizer from the company and Mr Seong and Chief are unsure if this is true help or another setup. I have two word for Mr Seong…change password.😂🤣 It’s not often a kid whines about missing a weekend class. Dad is sandwiched between to youngest sons yelling for wife. 😂🤣 The village chief telling him if he can still talk he is far from max suffering.🤣😂 Mr Seong gets the village chief to pass the fertilizer to the village with promises that they are finally being supported by the company. The villagers now trust him but is the company helping them or setting them up?
