if you look at the MDL comments from this writers prior shows, you’ll see similar complaints about the pacing of the shows. So no lessons learned here.

LOL, I'm all in for the bunions, corns, and hammertoes

Thank you for saying that. I've been bitching about their attitude towards us viewers for a while. And the lack of continuity from this show is driving me crazy .

I rewatched that scene, and it was odd, the way she acted back at the house. hmmmmm

WOAH!!!

What kills me is that they treat 20 years ago as if it's in the 1950s! "She died so long ago that there are no records" UH WRITERS, THAT WOULD BE 2004, THEY HAD THE INTERNET, EMAIL AND EVEN CELFONES! Sheesh. I'm pretty sure there would be computerized death records in 2004. Good Grief.

Re: what was feeding her hatred? I can only imagine that she had this perfect life set up for this girl she adopted and "saved" and the payback she gets is that she'll live as a working-class insta-mom and wife. MR was her "project" (or puppet as the subs said) and all she sees is ingratitude. "Do you think I worked so hard to raise you to marry you off to someone like him" is what she told her just before the line about regretting adopting her.

And I've never seen a kdrama where the time skip isnt denoted on the screen. That whole episode seemed rushed.

I think long enough for the surgery. He's so loaded, he wouldn't have to force her, she's enough of a money-grubber (given her profession) he could set her up nicely in the US for a while as a payoff.

I STILL suspect CR may be in on this. I don't buy that she's suddenly accepted him, without even a traumatic THRC-sytle family confession. She did terrible things, to him (bribery) and to MR (that horrible line about adoption). And she showed her true contempt for both of them. I can buy InOk's redemption, sort-of...it was cheesy but whatever. But this one, NO WAY JOSE.

And I agree with your earlier post about the motorcycle. He saw her coming from way down the street (you can hear his exhaust and see his headlight), plus she was wearing a light-colored dress and her skin is so pale, she probably glows in the dark. So she'd stand out in his headlights. Something fishy about that whole thing.

I think those tears from MR were real, too.

I would really like to see some genuine affection initiated by YD this time. I'm still giving her the side-eye.

I really liked the YM character (well, actress, actually), but they never seemed to know what to do with her, except be the cheerleader for TK/YD pre-InOk meltdown. And if she splits with DW, what does she do? Continue to manage SK? I can't see that working out. So I guess it's back to America for her, or God Forbid Jae and that wacky family.

Oh Lord, I can hardly wait for this weekend. You'd better get to sleep on time tomorrow night.

(Novocaine still hasn't worn off, so it's soup for dinner.)

I give up with the year-count with these writers!
And good catch with Hee's mom. The HAVE referenced that her son is looked after by his Grandmother, in Hee's frequent absences. But I don't know if that's her mother or the boy's father's-mother. I don't believe that's been clarified, unless she specifically mentioned HER mother. If so, that would be our elusive 'strawberry' if the Hee-theory is correct.

It seemed like she slapped MR harder than when she slapped Little Dong.

I swear they did that on purpose!

What a strange episode. It feels like 3 episodes were cut to pieces and patched together. A Motorcycle of Doom? Well, I guess. And a record-setting redemption arc for CR? well OK. And of course, the inevitable return of SJ. That slap had to hurt, BTW.

But honestly, how do you ever walk back "I would never have adopted you"? A statement like that would forever stain their relationship, no? And how are we to believe that CR's acceptance of him would be sincere? "A man like him"!? Put me in the CR is behind the return of SJ camp. She and big dong may be up to something.

Oddly, what stands out to me is in the hospital scene, look at the other male patient the doctor is talking to on the right. I swear, it's KS's double! Looks just like him, same kind of clothes, same hairstyle. What the heck?????

I'm trying to distract myself from this afternoon's dental appointment, so since it's a quiet Thursday, here are a couple more things bouncing around in my head, regarding YM & The fortune teller....

YM - I'll take a guess and say her arc is pretty much done in the series now. The handwriting was on the wall when SK's mom showed up, and now that they realize they're in-laws, that will put the kibosh on their relationship (although I think they can still be married, legally?) They really haven't figured out what to do with her character since TK/YD moved out of the annex, and other than those few scenes as SK's manager and mom-to-be, she seems to be the fish out of water now. They don't even feature her/DW in the previews anymore. I'll predict she'll move back to the US to resume her doctorate and avoid any future uncomfortable family gatherings, while DW reunites with SK's mom (why else would they have brought her back?). Too bad, she was easily the prettiest girl in the series . Maybe they'll bring her back for the wedding in the series finale (if there is one).

The fortune teller- OK, this is kind of out-there, but given the stupidity of the story-line we've been subjected to, why not? I want to continue to support that fortune teller's part of the plot, even though the writers may have said "f- it". So, here goes: Something happens to Hee's son, and he needs a transplant/transfusion/marrow donation/whatever. The kid has a rare blood type (of course) and Hee tells Dr's "don't worry, I know a donor" - his father, DS. She breaks the news to DS and begs him to save her son, which he does and they reconcile to be a family. Then, DUM-DUM-DUM he gets her pregnant (despite her age). As they are not in any financial situation to raise another child, they decide to offer the baby to CM/SJ as a means of atonement for her sins to them. CM/SJ accept (with Granny's and her parents blessing) and the Fortune Teller's prediction comes true - DS's kid found him and CM/SJ's child will have 2 fathers. Obviously there will have to be a timeskip or two for make this work.

Sounds crazy, right? What about this series has made any sense lately? Oh well, I didn't think about the dentist for the 10 minutes it took me to write this, so I guess that's a win for me. To the long-post police, my apologies.

I'm debating whether to watch it before or after dentist. I'm kinda dreading this one.

I had 110 too, I figured 9 eps of her arc plus one last one with a wedding, timeskip, baby, etc.

That'll be KS's ace-in-the-hole.
