The system is really buggy today. Every time I get that message, I copy what I sent to the clipboard, and reload the page to see if it actually posted. 90% of the time it did and you don't need to repost.

I think I would flip the question, BT. We know its not well written/thought out (well, at least the majority would agree). The real question is: Is it entertaining, all said and done? I have one of those TL/DR answers for you that might provoke the long-post authorities, let me think of how to word it.

I can’t believe this but Kim Chang wan (actor who plays Jang Jung Ho -se Jin’s dad) is on KBS here fronting a rock band and he’s pretty good!

One thing that slipped by me is that Hee's son does indeed have a form of Leukemia. Thus making a possible need for a bone marrow match/donation. And conveniently here's Uncle, who in any conventional k-drama would secretly be his father and marrow donor. I floated this a couple of days ago, and it sure looks like this is the direction a normal series would head in. But with THIS series, who can say?

The scene with SK and her mom is worth seeing. It was very emotional.

Donna, regarding Hanuel as TK's - in a nutshell, here's the theory that was floated several months ago as a way to appease the domestic audience who disliked the idea of TK not being the father:

In the beginning of the series, TK and JH lived in the same hotel. TK's room was one floor directly above JH's. It was proposed that sometime in Early February, a very drunk YD went to TK's room by mistake and conceived Haneul with an equally drunk TK. She then made her way out of the hotel before either of them sobered up and realized who mated with whom. This is what you'll see here referred to as the "Mistaken Room Theory".

Hope this helps - LADF

Yeah, I later figured that a show that can have someone change the name of someone else's baby simply by filing a form can also get confirmation of a DNA test via phone call. Why not?

I don't have twitter, and it seems you have to have an account to be able to see things in it. It didn't used to be that way. Yes, I still want them to move to a small town they can live a quiet life in, or just leave SK altogether, and go to Canada or Australia (not USA, KJH has too many ties here).

I mean, how hokey can you get? The contempt of these writers is like something I've never seen. It's not even incompetence anymore. IF you want your proof this is phoney-baloney, here it is. Now all they have to do is intercept the written report, and the scam is set.
Unless, of course, they writers are too lazy and just said "eh, we'll do it via a phone call, since it's faster".

Well, it wasn't any easier watching it than just reading about it here.

I'm surprised they're still playing it straight with the nun and her dirtbag bro. I guess we're supposed to buy in to this? Who bribed the DNA lab to falsify the results? And since when do they give you the results over the phone??? Who really called TK???? As we saw in 3BS, these results are in the form of a written-report and either hand-delivered in person or by certified courier. This sets off major red-flags for me. But at this point, I'm so disillusioned that I'm having a hard time caring.

As BT mentioned below, seeing TK in full panic-attack mode when he woke up was not pleasant. And why didn't YD tell him that she wouldn't leave because THEY'RE MARRIED NOW. Why didn't she mention that? I still don't trust YD and neither does TK. As Chrissydiva noted also, he's been like this since they started living together, but her abandoning him for real twisted the knife in his pysche. My man is hurting deep inside.

The most touching part was with SK & her mom. Most interesting to me was that YM realizes that double in-laws is not a deal breaker and tells DW so. But I still think the clock is ticking for them.

Absolutely agree!!! SangJi was so good, and a great role for her too - no doormat or wilting lily of a leading lady. I'll watch Tumbling Family if only for her. The FL in TLIYE had way too inconsistent of a character and half of her problems stemmed from how secretive she was about every little thing in her life. Plus she had ZERO chemistry with ML, he had his issues too.

Thanks, I run the weather station here for our community so I've had to go out and clean it to be ready for rain (which is rare here in SoCal summer). But, we'll see. A lot of sensational-ization for this, which has already dropped to tropical storm, and has a lot of inland to travel before it gets here.
Interestingly, this morning it was clear blue skies, and now at 10:47 local its cloudy. Hmmmm.

KTL was so much fun. I hate that so many people dissed it because it wasn't so "deep". If you want deep, watch TRHC. Sometimes you need a light, fun show. And JunJo/YooNa have re-written the concept of chemistry in a series. They are so electric together that it would be a real shame if they don't get married in real life, especially given their history.

I wish I could do laundry while watching it...already did it on Wednesday, LOL. I'm going to do the yardwork and put stuff away in preparation for the 'hurricane' that is coming for us starting tomorrow. SIGH. Have a good afternoon/evening there.

Just like in 3BS, a great cast was let down by sub-par writing. And SJY really got screwed over, his character got no growth at all over 100+ episodes. He was the same submissive, eager-to-please doormat as in episode 1. It really bugs me. People should not let themselves be treated this way, and yet, here we are in Primetime 5 days a week.

IF we get it, it won't be til the last episode, I'd guess.

Nobody can blame you. I'm sorry you invested so much time and emotional capital in this disaster.

EXACTLY! Having Hee be the daughter made so much sense and would unify the story arcs. Oh NO, can't have that, I'll show how smart I am and fool the audience again!

I really wonder about the message this series sends. Given the looming birth-rate crisis in SK, you'd think the govt sponsored network would send things to encourage family life? And the premise of 'family is more than bloodlines' seemed to make sense in that regard. Instead, we get THIS.

We've been YLAG-ed. No doubt about it.
