I think they are setting us up for an interesting angle: EA will eventually want to marry MG, and adopt GR. This will be deja vu for JA - adopting another man's son. Otherwise, to bring up this part of the story at this time, makes little sense in the ES/SW arc. JA won't be able to stop EA from adopting and raising another man's son, especially given their bond. It would be a turn for JA to support her desire to marry MG, while CY opposes it because she's never supported that idea (from way back in the show).

OTOH, maybe I'm giving the writers too much credit.

I think you'll have a hard time finding someone here to give you a resounding YES. We've got about 3 weeks left, and the show has picked up the pace recently. But I'm not sure it's worth it or not?

Ep112- Poor Jin-Sil. She REALLY wanted to be the one to break the news about HY, but she didn't get a chance. The look of frustration on her face was pretty funny. Well done job by that veteran actress.

As far as JA goes, I'm not a wine drinker, so I guess one could get that sloshed on 1 and a half bottles of red?

What a fantastic show. I was not prepared for how deep it really was. I'd write a review, but almost I'm almost 7 years too late. I really regret not seeing it when it aired to be able to join in the discussion. It amazes me that the social issues discussed here are so relevant now, in the post-pandemic/lockdown world. I'd love to see the leads paired again, their chemistry was really good.

Fluffy? No. Profound? Most definitely.

With all the things that happened this week, the one that stands out to me was Grandpa's talk with EH. That was really touching and well-done. It was nice to see how earnest both were, and that Grandpa was trying to be something other than the cartoonish character they normally write him as.

At least HY tried this time. I was waiting for JS to say "Is this a COVID test?"

That would make sense, although it would have been in the middle of his college education. How many years was he here in the States? 17? Long time on a Visa...he should have applied for citizenship.

Excellent point, and again shows the poorly thought-out script.

Yup. They hate each other so much, there is no way they can cooperate on anything, except for making their kids miserable.

OK, I'll let you know! Once this disaster ends, I'll take a week break, and start Once Again and see you in the comments section there. I'm near the end of I'm Not a Robot, and am amazed at that show. I even ordered the DVD for it.
The ML in Ugly Alert was also the ML in 3 Bold Siblings, and the forum here had a lot of praise for Joo Hwan's performance in that.

Well, if that one is a dog, I think I'll substitute an OLD Rom-com from 2009 - Smile, You, which is 45 one-hour eps. Got a 7.9 rating here.

I hope so! This is NOT a remake of the Korean Drama - it is another adaptation of the same webtoon, which DID go further than the story depicted in the show we already know & love. So there's a chance. But the fact they copied the poster from the k-drama one, is unsettling.
My interest in this is the hope they do go further, but if the cast lacks the chemistry that the original had, well, Good Luck.

After watching the first episode, it seems like this had a budget of about $50 to make. And, you HAVE to watch the Korean version first because they leave a lot of stuff out that makes the show understandable. I really want to like this, as I'm curious how they decided to re-write the back-half of the story, but it's tough to watch after the first.

Trying to remake a classic like 'I'm Not a Robot' isn't easy.

As a comparison, the last 3 dailies, in order by date:
Bravo, My Life 2022 - 7.7
The Love in Your Eyes - 7.6
Apple of My Eye - 7.1

Agreed - that or he'll find out there is a warrant out for her. So far, there's been little use of his being a policeman since the cat incident at the beginning of the show.

Yes, CY caught them together and they both went to her folks to tell them. Both CY/DG get angry and we're back to square one, but the kids are steadfast this time.

107 - This had to be the dumbest episode yet.

In Dramaland, when someone gets a paper-cut or even a bloody nose, they are rushed to the ER. Here, a woman is burning up with fever and they keep her in some run-down flat? "Thirty years ago...." was 1994, not right after the Korean war, in a war-torn Seoul! There's no phone for DG to call JA to tell his wife where he'll be that night? REALLY? They're acting like this took place in 1959. How stupid do they think we are?

I think I can see where this series is finally going: EA will hook up with MG - All her parents won't approve of her going with a single father; EH defies his parents and sticks with HY; ES defies her parents and sticks with SW. All the kids turn their backs on their parents and go where love leads them. A fitting end for a couple of Harpies and the dimwitted DG. Hopefully they all move out on their own, and the two bitter moms are left staring at their husbands at an empty house.

God Help Us with this 130+ episode mess.

It's hard to imagine a worse female character in a K-drama than JoengSook, who hurt her sister so selfishly. But they managed to do it, with HyeYoon. I can't even imagine a mother having those kind of feelings (or lack thereof) towards her child. I guess it does happen, just don't need to see it on TV. (Although, now that I think about it, the runaway-return Mom in AOME who used her eldest child as spare parts for her youngest is a close second).

I'm in.

Would it be asking too much for Yoo Seung Ho again as her lead? Such natural chemistry between them.

Yup, I've decided to use the period to finally watch "Once Again" instead, and then cross-fingers that the one after this will be fun and logical. I don't mind a "slow-burn" relationship between leads, but have it MAKE SENSE and for God's sake, make sure there's chemistry between the leads. Is that too much to ask?
