What did we learn about Vice Chairman Kang Tae Min this past weekend???? It was KANG TAE MIN who bought the art…
@Kathryn_51 I would agree that Tae Min has to viewed through a different lens given the discovery of his real parents. However, that does not absolve him from some of the things he has done previously. When you say he has not abused anyone, I would point out that early on (episode 7 or 8) he told Hyo-Shim that she could train Tae Ho and they would do something else. He immediately followed that up by telling her that she did not have to think about it, as he (Tae Min) would decide everything. Sorry, but that is abuse in my opinion. Also, he had the car wreck destroyed without talking to Tae Ho about it. To identify, just two examples.
As for Tae Ho, I think people might have missed that he was sent to the U.S. when he was still in school (and not even high school). How can he not resent and curse Tae Min, who stayed and benefited from being the first born grandchild? And my recollection of the art gallery discussion was that Tae Ho was talking in the past tense regarding his resentment, and he offered to "slowly" build a bridge to Tae Min.
I appreciate that everyone sees stories through their own personal perspective, and yours and mine are clearly different.
Yes, if you are looking for a funny show that is just light entertainment and does not require a lot of deep thought. The best description for me is that it is an "amuse-bouche" show.
She didn't need to resort to taking TM from TH mom. She could have gone to get new born baby from one of those…
You are correct, but this is about ensuring that succession is maintained through the bloodline. Who cares about which set of parents raise the child, so long as it is still within the family.
I am loving this show. It is showing the developing relationship at a gentle pace, even though we are only at episode 5. So far nothing has felt forced or rushed; it is just "natural". The two actors have been fabulous to watch, and the facial expressions are so spot on.
Another thing that I have loved is the subtle way it has been approaching the pressure and stress experienced by medical professionals, and the negative impact on their mental health. I suspect that at least one episode will be focused on Yeo Jung-woo's PTSD, independently of any resolution of the crime story. Or, at least, I hope.
I know that some people are not comfortable with the excessive drinking when using anti-depressants, and that is valid. However, in real life, doctors are notorious for not looking after themselves (as has been alluded to in the show), so is it too far fetched for a doctor to drown their sorrows while looking at the world through the bottom of a soju bottle?
As for the second leads, I do not expect an equivalent amount of screen time to that of the primary couple. I did note the elevator scene, and suspect that we will have an introduction through the children.
Finally, the crime aspect of the show, for me, is the weakest part. After this episode, I am wondering if there is actually two parts to it. The death of the Macau heiress and the surveillance of the clinic. Whatever is the case, I fear that resolving this/these will take up a significant amount of future episodes, taking away from the development of the main and secondary couples.
I have enjoyed the show so far, but fear that the battle with the big bad law firm and step-mother over the nephew will come to dominate. If the story is going in that direction, why put in the lighter, friends focused comedy? The gap between the two aspect is too wide fro my liking.
Am I the only person who finds the sudden transformation of the top intern annoyingly suspicious? In the snippets at the end of Ep. 4, I thought I heard "I have placed someone in the office", and I immediately thought of the intern.
