Well it took me 40 years, I wouldn't wish that on anyone!

Could the Chairman be capable of a heartfelt apology to MR, to try to set things right?

I just realized, that should DH marry Aunty Ding, little Dong would be his nephew! I've gotta think that if they keep them together, Big Dong will 'disown' her and this will be the break she needs from the manipulative men in that family. Or am I dreaming?

HOLY SMOKES! Just saw subbed 82. Where was this kind of writing for about 70 episodes????
This was a great ep from beginning to end. I don't understand MR's reluctance to speak her mind when they all sat together....it was just her family there, but you know, drama. Well done for KS & DH being able to hear it.
I CANNOT WAIT until DH grabs that runt by the collar. Little Dong, you picked the wrong grizzly bear to tick off. I just wish he grabbed him a few inches higher.....by the neck. And shook him a bit, you know, just to improve brain circulation in the Dong's head.

It truly was one of the strangest things in this series. Why they gave a speaking role and airtime to someone for no apparent reason?

Please see the disclaimer at the beginning of my post.

They're 2 completely different types of shows, so it's hard to compare. THRC was really interesting and fun, but the last 2 episodes are causing a lot of grief in the community so proceed at your own caution as we don't know what's in store there. For this show, watch the 1st 10 eps to get a feel for the characters, then skip to about ep 70 like Sher said above and pick up the show. Nothing really happens between ep 10-70.

I hope Loelha is right, only because I want the MIL to realise that KS was too good for SJ all along. And that her daughter was a fraud and the MIL would have to apologize to KS, and let him marry MR with her blessings. This all goes back to the question of does she come back voluntarily (Sher's scenario) or is dragged back (Loelha's).

you've got my vote!

So we know tomorrow (Thursday) per the previews that DH is at the convent asking the Abbess if she's his daughter. I don't know if she's allowed to tell him or not, but this places him at the orphanage sometime Thursday. Do they drag the day out to allow for MR to get there as well, into Friday's show?

This is the part of the series I'm really looking forward to. I'm curious how they will handle him telling her that he's her Dad. And her reaction. (actually I'm kinda dreading her reaction) and I can guess that scene where he tells her and she has that deer-in-the-headlights MiRae face on her is where the Episode ends. Just not sure if that is this Friday or Next Friday, but guessing how major a cliffhanger it is, I'd be amazed if they don't do it for a Friday ep.

oh ughhhhh at that prospect.

do you remember what ep that was?

Thank you. My main experience has been with historical dramas, so after only about a half-dozen family/dailys I'm no authority on the matter. But I've never seen any character go against type so much as I have here. Given the level of intelligence the writers have shown, and thier seeming understanding of the characters, I am struggling with what to do with YD and TK as if they were my kids as well, given I'm their parents age.
I find it ironic that the actress who plays BongNim was in a similar situation in IBN, where her youngest son & his girlfriend faked a relationship for monetary gain - a clear case of fraud. She was (just like InOk) very fond of the girl who reminded her of herself. While she was outraged and she did force them apart, she never lost concern for the girl and after a few months, eventually she went to her to reconcile as best they could. This scenario was in keeping with her character. What we're seeing here in this series for InOk is not like that.
And I do think that BN & YD will reconcile, but they need a long talk before doing so. We know BN loves her daughter, and she's hurting as much as TK, just in a different way; she has trouble explaining her emotions because her temper gets in the way.

Just occurred to me: Friday coming up, and that means a 'big' cliffhanger? What can it be?
-DH is ready to meet MR?
-Dongie confronts MR again with KS in attendance for the "ALTERCATION at the ACADEMY"? (sorry it doesn't have the cachet as 'rumble in the jungle')
- Pregnant YuJin de-planes at Incheon airport?
-JD & JP caught dating?

I will be VERY disappointed in CR if she doesn't arrange for a place for MR to go. He duty is to her child, adopted or not. She can keep it on the down-low and have a hotel room waiting for her. I can't believe she'll just stand there and watch her kid be tossed on the street. If so, should MR give up on that "family'?

JUST. PUNCH. HIM. OUT.

The biggest mistake for him what that he told her that things should go back to how they were. He doesn't realize that they can't because things aren't the same as they were before. He's single now, and SJ is not hanging over his head. Angelwg is right, the only way to handle this sensibly is that he needs to talk to HR very clearly. Otherwise his mixed messages will continue and someone is going to get very hurt. HR isn't dumb, she knows that he's a good man, and she'll keep trying to attract him until he makes her stop. Love is blind.

I've often wondered why YJ isn't dating? She's a pretty girl. Why can't she find a company man to hook up with? That whole family dynamic is so messed up.
