Of marriage and having children

As Ja Eun's issue is slowly coming to a quiet truce, Tae Bum and Cha Soo Young's relationship amps into play.



I didn't like it when Soo Young demanded marital bondage as a solution to her pregnancy. I understand that she had kept her feelings for Tae Bum hidden(out of pride or maybe fear of rejection or both). But what I cannot understand is how she suddenly appeared desperate--which spurs more questions: What will she gain from marrying him? Does she need him to give the child a good name or status? Is this what she's really after?



That is why I while I still hate Tae Bum for being an a**, I understand his thinking--she doesn't need a loveless marriage to give birth to the child. But for her,it is much more complicated than that.



Meanwhile, the eldest hyung, Tae Shik has something coming up--a package from Manila reveals a mug with an imprinted picture of a younger Tae Shik and a woman, an organizer and a pen. But he shoves the things back in the box and puts it away...

I blame you, Dr. Whatsyourname.

To everyone that wanted vengeful!Eunki, congratulations, I think she has finally arrived. I'm just going to go curl up in a corner and continuing crying my eyes out.



It's a nice touch, though, how Maru and Eunki have now switched roles. Unfortunate how Eunki is basing her hatred of Maru (or, at least, I think it's hatred) on pieces of the whole puzzle. Terrible pieces, I might add. Some of those pieces not even holding any relevance in their current situation (like Maru only having eyes for JaeHee). It will be interesting to see who exactly planted the evidence.



JaeGil, you are my spirit in this drama. Literally, it's like he's just taking thoughts from my mind and repeating them, word for word. And JaeSik is the greatest honest douchebag to have ever lived, and I love him.



I'm not even going to predict or ask for anything at this point, and just like Maru, I'll be thankful for what I have gotten so far, open my eyes and simply hope for the best.

Rebellious and irresponsible

Tae Bum, up to now, has been a disappointment. Reckless and irresponsible, he spouts out words of advice that his own self should take: think carefully before deciding.



A one-night stand that was supposed to be fleeting and forgettable has come back on both Team Leader Cha Soo Young and Tae Bum. Funny that the cluttered switch-girl Soo Young could come out calmer and have a more adult-like take on their situation. I wonder how they'll turn out...



I don't know if Ja Eun has reached the peak of her rebellion. Seeing her shutting her friends out is making me mad. She has too much hurt and anger that she doesn't know how to distinguish her true allies from her enemies. And this, again, is a product of Tae Bum's recklessness.

Some things are about ready to explode

The story now is heavily revolving on Ja Eun.



When her copy of the orchard contract disappeared, Ja Eun accuses Bok Ja ahjumma and Halmoni of stealing the document. Without the contract, Ja Eun loses her authority as the owner of the orchard and is kicked out of the house.



I had held Bok Ja omma in high regard because she had been righteous and adamant that she didn't take it. But after seeing that it was contrary to what she had said, I felt disappointed and thought--'Omma has this flaw then.'



Tae Bum did it again and this time it did serious damage to Tae Hee's position as a police officer, and Ja Eun, of whatever is left of her dignity.



Reversals now: no matter how irritated I got with Ja Eun's whining at the last episode, I felt more sympathy for her in the end.
