I just realized this resumed. So excited.

You made very valid points about HD showing favoritism. She is favoring Jenny because her favorite daughter, SJ, is also showing favoritism towards Jenny over JD. The mom follows anything SJ says and does because she is, after all, HER favorite daughter. This is most likely why Jin Ju, the oldest, had her own place with SS and is in Canada and has not returned even once for the funeral or to see her own sister who was missing for 10 years. I am surprised she wanted her husband to move in with her mom knowing how toxic that household is.

In the end I would like to see all the men, JD, and YJ, move out and leave HD there, alone. She deserves it.

I am not doing live on this one. It’s too early for me. I will just wait for subs.

I agree. I have said it obvious the writers didn’t care about the character of Kang-San at all and it comes across to the audience in the most glaring way. And if they do not care, we also, cannot care.
Another thing I have noticed is once SJ is told by JD that she doesn’t want to donate her bone marrow - instead of getting sorrowful and grief-stricken to the point of tears - as MOST mothers would at the thought of your child dying - she gets enraged. So enraged she starts assaulting her own daughter. This is not the reaction I expected to see - it makes me think she has some other ulterior motive driving her desperation.

Omg another Seon Joo. 🤦🏼‍♀️

You know I will be here but if this turns like AOME I will jump ship.

This is what happens when you keep secrets. The truth always comes to light sooner or later. You can’t keep your child in the dark and let them be blindsided later under the guise of protecting them and loving them. All it does is teach your kid that lying is ok as long as you stamp it with “Protection and Love”. The one thing I always told my son as he was growing up is “if you do something wrong, you should always tell me the truth, because if I find out you lied, your punishment will be much greater than if you had just told me the truth.”

Just like the year time jump on TRHC. Everything of importance will happen off camera. I see this coming because we have already had important moments happen off camera that we should have seen but didn’t. I’m already prepared for a very, very, very unsatisfying ending.

I, not so sure we get that reveal because it is one that will affect EVERYONE, not just KS and JD. We don’t have time to deal with everyone’s reactions and the repercussions. This may be one drama where that secret, is kept a secret.

I don’t think we will have a satisfactory ending that addresses all the issues.

I remember that but can’t remember what scene you were referring to now. 😂

KS has 10 years of abandonment and an ex that has a child by another man during that time. He has more power than he knows. He just needs to get off his pity wagon and start using his power.

I am I still trying to catch up - up to ep 45 and have been lmbo. It’s really crazy. Trying to hurry up and catch up so I can watch the final episode Sunday and be done! 😂

It just blows my mind that she seriously expects him to stay with SJ and raise a child by another man - I've often wondered if she knows KS is not JD's father. But that rant and tirade SJ threw over JD not wanting to donate her bone marrow didn't even seem like it was anger about that but about something more. A mother's first reaction would be crying and saddened to the point of grief - not angered to the point of assaulting your own child. Something is not right here with her motive.

MR had plenty of opportunity to reveal the other child too and she didnt take it. MR and KS are walking messes of missed opportunities.

Depends on the country. Korea has reciprocity with the US on marriages so yes, they would recognize a marriage in Korea if married in US and also a divorce in Korea if divorced in US. The divorce is a bit more iffy because it does require documents to be filed with the Korean Consulate otherwise that person would stay on the Korean Family register until the divorce documentation was submitted - but the divorce would still be recognized in Korea. So she absolutely could have divorced KS in America but never sent the paperwork to the consulate to have her name removed from the registry.

She has not. She has called him Kang-San-ssi. Thank goodness, cause I couldn’t take the whole Oppa thing.

I don’t understand why everyone thinks she committed bigamy. It IS possible to get a divorce without your spouse knowing.

Loelha is of the mind that KS suffers PTSD as someone who has been abused does. I believe she is right. That said, it doesn’t mean he should have stayed there. The redemption arc of his character should have been so much more. Like you said - counseling. We should have seen him get treated and become stronger so he would have had the skills and mindset to be able to handle SJ when she returned.
I think the concept of KS character was great on paper, unfortunately these writers didn’t know how to write him into a stronger character. They continued to write themselves into a corner, every single time. Like rmtaylor77 mentioned above - he was an inappropriate person for MR to ever become involved with, knowing full well they planned to bring the “dead” SJ back to life. They could have easily solved this with filing the death certificate, thus ending the marriage, or an investigation that proved she already divorced him…but they didn’t do that. Yes, SJ left him 10 years previously, abandoned him and their daughter; however, if the are truly still legally married (I still have my doubts but whatever), then SJ isn’t wrong…she would be the rightful wife and MR would be the other woman. This is how everyone is going to perceive MR for the rest of her life if the writers do this. They won’t care about the truth. Her reputation will be gone if they do not make KS divorced already. If this is the road the writers take then it’s truly gone from being a train wreck to a landfill of burning, toxic waste.

There is not enough time to deal with the fallout of that. It’s not something that can just be glossed over in anyway satisfying with 5 episodes left.

KS has learned nothing in his years of dealing with Sun Ju. She has had the upper hand since the moment she knew he was looking at her with hearts in his eyes. Over 15 years ago. To say she has him wrapped around her little finger is not even enough. He has let her come back like a tornado and wipe out the life he tried to build with JD and MR and now his very job is most likely on the line as well - which SJ wanted him to quit the job so she is essentially killing that bird too with her one stone.
He should have told MR the truth about Sun Ju returning.
He should have told JD the truth about her sister.
He should have told the Hwang Family about SJ being back.
He should be telling MR the truth about JD.
He should have told JD the truth about her biological father.
He should have told HD about Sun Ju’s pregnancy with JD.
He should have….
He should have. …
He should have. …
Each and every time he has remained silent, SJ has beat him to the punch.
He has learned nothing.
