Always Current Discussions of Different K-Dramas: K-DRAMA VIDEO CLUB!

Pooka, LOL! the Mi-Ran Special, YUM! Poor Mr. Ko sure picked the wrong time to be thirsty.
I'm less willing to call Kang Hee evil and more likely to see her as a disaster waiting to happen. She spent her earliest childhood scrabbling for existence, being treated like a slave by a cynical mother who never expressed love. Then she took on the role of the adult and that ended up getting little Jun Hee killed (KH believed). Then the rest of her life is filled with comfort and love but only because she is no longer herself, but has to become Jun Hee, the child whose death she caused. At the same time, she knows that her life is a sham in yet another way: her mother is alive but has rejected her "for her own good". It makes sense to me that she'd see suicide as a good option, particularly for those around her. She feels that their love is all based on falsehoods, she never deserved her life and she never deserved their love. That's why I keep talking about her imploding.
After what Buppy said about family lines and blood, Peen's story caused me some thought, too. He has his mother's last name, Chang, which I think would be very unusual? And as a child of divorce he would have grown up highly stigmatized. So there's a lot of pain there as well. In the beginning there was mention that Chang Bong-Sil had gone to get Peen from Pyong-yang, so they may have been Northerners who ended up in the South after the War; that's something that would have layers of meaning to the Korean audience that we'd miss.

Bup, nice find on the pink blouse! that white one is gorgeous. Pooka and had a good laugh because the Kate Spade bags aren't even real, they'll be Korean market knockoffs of KS! LOL!

Do you think DY and KH would be that close being like brother and sister? Maybe she was really, really within her rights to assume they'd be getting married. I think you're quite right about Korea being very conservative at that time, to the point that I sort of doubt that a wealthy girl of KH's class would have been running around in those hot pants outfits! I think the only girls dressing like that would have been standing on street corners waiting for American GIs.

Re: Always Current Discussions of Different K-Dramas: K-DRAMA VIDEO CLUB!

I have one sarcastic thing to say : does any one have any idea how BAD that ****tail would taste ? I had visions of Mr Ko taking one sip,and spitting the rest across the room ! take it from me ..I didn't swallow pills til I was 20.
IF KH doesn't intervene,we may as well start mixing her another round of that ****tail -she 's gonna need it,and I'd probably give it to her. My pity for her is wearing thin . She has so many opportunities that even is she was de-listed from the family register tomorrow,she'd still end up a top fashion designer. Did my eyes see wrong,or did Duomei win the contest before she got kicked out ?
Why is Ms Chang in such a hurry to retire anyway ?

I thought Bin's name was Chang because he was illegitimate .Nobody told me that _ I just got that idea somewhere .Was there ever a dad ?

Can someone explain in detail to me about the family register ? I know from my limited Kdrama experience that adopted people get put on there too,so what's the BFD with KH ? She just gets an initial change .
BTW ,I asked my taiwanese friend about confusianism .He's going to loan me a book ,and he said he (C) teaches us how to treat the world and each other. I did not ask him point blank about treating adopted people on a different level as biological ones .I think I'll read the book first .

It was never said (I don't think) that Peen's parents were married, so maybe they never were and he is illegitimate - even worse for him. She was in school in Tokyo, but I think we'd know if there was a further complication like Peen's father being Japanese, too!
I thought Mr. Ko was changing the family register so that Kang Hee could finally be recognized by her real name, but that she would still be regarded in all ways as his daughter just the same. And we know, but she doesn't (right?) that his new will leaves her the business, the house, and the investments. Or rather, it leaves them to his "daughter Jun Hee".

I am utterly and completely drained by episode 27 ...but I am afraid to post any details in case you haven't see it yet.I don't want to be the spoiler.
I will say that I needed Kleenex ,and now I could use some aspirin .

I am proud of my Bin though . I can't imagine how they are going to tie this up .

Re: Always Current Discussions of Different K-Dramas: K-DRAMA VIDEO CLUB!

OH MY!!! I am with Addie my head hurts and this episode seemed to be 2hrs long. How did they get that much in one eps?!

So Mr. Ko is dead and KH confesses that she did it. DY stays to help her while poor T is burying her dad she just found. The speech about how she wanted to spend more time with him just tore my heart out and stomped on it!!

There was so much pain in this ep. At least P stayed with T. T is hurt that DY has chooses to stay with KH , he just feels so guilty as he tells T. He is sorry he has hurt her, KH and Mr. Ko. KH just gives up at the trial and is sentenced to death. She won't appeal the decision, another tearjerker when she tell T she hopes in the next life they can be real sisters. T turns down her dad's company and starts her own textile company with the market lady. DY still hasn't come to see T (I think out of pure guilt for the situation) . KH will be excuted the next day so DY goes to spend her last day with her. She tells him that she loves him but all he says "I will never forget you and you will always have a place in my heart" Hello, she is going to die just pretend for a few hours!! At least at the last moment he says he loves her and gives her back the pearl, which helped start all of this mess in the very first place. KH leaves T a letter which says I am taking the name and DY's heart with me. I thought that was a bit spiteful on her part, but I didn't really like her anyway. Peen and T go to the airport to try to stop DY from leaving. They try to tell him that everyone is hurt by KH 's death. Peen tells him he is going to ask T to marry him after his arm is fixed . T and DY hug and he still leaves. I can't wait till the next eps!! This has been a great drama!!!

Oh and Addie Tumy did win the contest.

Re: Always Current Discussions of Different K-Dramas: K-DRAMA VIDEO CLUB!

I have to talk more about episode 27 before I move on to 28.Actually, i haven't watched 28 yet.I am waiting until later. I am still just floored by pt 27.
Mr Ko didn't deserve to die like that. I understand it was an accident ...but I was dumbfounded when KangHee did not lift a finger to help him/She did not tell anyone what happened -maybe the medical team could have done something ! The ultimate for me was while Mr Ko was being rushed to the hospital ,KH went out to eat .What was that about ! It was like " I just poisoned my dad,let's go to Outback ! "

Duomei looked heartbreakingly frail in her white mourning clothes .I do NOT understand how DY could abandon her @ that time ! The scene @ the river where Duomei had to scatter her father's ashes had me in tears as well- and DY wasn't there either >At least Bin stood by her through the whole time even after everyone else was gone,and it was pouring rain . He's all she has left.DY was leaving the country without telling them ,but they caught him at the airport.
Bin warned DY that he was going to get the use of his arm back,then ask Duomei to marry him .DY still left.

KH did lie in court - it was more like 2nd degree murder.I think she just wanted to die .

I will have more to say later . BTW ,I was listening to the soundtrack in my car -it's great ,but I was getting choked up.

Addie don't drive off the road crying!!! Well I did finish the series already and get your hankies ready people!!! Last night was so emotional. I was also thinking why is KH eating, is she trying to have one last good meal before she is locked up? I think DY just felt so guilty for not being in love with KH and hurting so many people in his quest to find and keep his promise to Jun Hee from childhood that he just couldn't leave her alone. KH just figured there is no way she could live with all that has happened so she might as well just end it all, but man that last letter just made me so mad!! It was like, I will just twist the knife one last time. Well just wait till you see the last ep it is really good, I will be back later to post my thoughts on it.

After Mr. Ko was taken to the hospital and Kang Hee showed up at DY's, I took it that she was completely in shock. When she said, "I'm so hungry", I think we were supposed to understand she was having a shock-related breakdown and her mind had gone back to the trauma of the war, when she was a child wandering, starving and looking for food. It made sense to me when we saw her shoveling the food in in a manner she'd never use as a properly brought up young lady. She was cracking all along, and she really cracked for good when her father drank her suicide potion and fell down the stairs.

I couldn't understand at all how DY left Toumy to bear her father's death alone and then ran away like a coward. It didn't make any sense at all with the character we'd seen in the prior 26 episodes. Suddenly he goes irrational and weak from guilt? Apparently so. I'd think a couple of K-slaps from his dad would have straightened that out pretty quickly.

I've seen the ending too, no way I could stop it at the end of 27!
