Re: K-Drama: (The Innocent Woman)
how are we supposed to read Ayeong's reactions when she arrives at Ilhongs shop? Has she gone from complete dislike (at the beginning of this drama), to engagement/marriage for social/financial gain w/o any love or attachment to now jealousy brought on by DG rejection of her? Does she actually have feelings for DG? if so, how did they possibly develop or are we just seeing the spoiled, selfish nature coming out full blown?

Re: K-Drama: (The Innocent Woman)
At the beginning of the drama, it seemed that Ayeong was attracted to DG since he arrived back in Seoul, but he was such a pain in the rear constantly insulting her that she was miffed with him most of the time. I always thought she really wanted him anyway, though.
Perhaps this marriage was already in the works from the two families' point of view. Both Ayeong and DG might have been unofficially "earmarked" as suitable marriage partners so she's always expected it to happen and that he is hers. ??
I've thought Ayeong has genuinely liked DG from the beginning. Maybe not full-blown, crazy "in love," but the attraction was always there. My take on her wanting to make the marriage an arranged business deal was to save face for herself (due to his constant rejections) and to get DG to more easily agree to the marriage. If he thinks she doesn't really have feelings for him, he doesn't have to worry about hurting her. Also, he can feel free and unburdened if he thinks his wife has no emotional expectations of him. If Ayeong were clingy and too demanding, DG would have been long gone a while ago.
So, I think she's genuinely upset at DG's extricating himself from the engagement and not from the point of view that her business deal is crumbling. But I also expect her to be angry with Ilhong. Seeing the big crocodile tears, though, I'm sure Ilhong's heart will melt and she will feel more guilty than ever, determined to stay away from DG.
Why does this have to be Friday....

Re: K-Drama: (The Innocent Woman)
I agree with you nchristi. I got the feeling from the beginning that AY liked DG, because she was so determind to prover herself to him. That's why she went to the same school as he did and majored the same thing. JMO.
I missed this whole week. Something is wrong the the VCR.

Re: K-Drama: (The Innocent Woman)
Does kicking Namgi to the curb add any vertebrae to Ilhong's spinal column? (On the other hand, I still don't see what's so scary about that "scary Granny!!??"  )

Re: K-Drama: (The Innocent Woman)
Ilhong seems to be in full mother mode all the time. She shows strength when she needs to defend/protect her children but when it comes to her own credibility, character, status, pride, etc she becomes silent whenever those are attacked.
She obviously thinks the world of her girls but has little respect and love for herself.

Re: K-Drama: (The Innocent Woman)
Well is looks like Ilhong reached her emotional breaking point by honestly admitting her personal realities and feelings of attachment to DG. Will he be smart enough, mature enough, etc to nurture this little ray of hope? Considering both of their backgrounds, I would vote for these two to become a couple and live "happily everafter".
I also would like to see Grandpa extend some value and respect towards Granny by acknowledging and thanking her for the many years they spent together, the daughter she bore for him and by doing so perhaps it will lessen the fervor of her actions and comments that I believe are fueled by her feelings of neglect and lack of love. (she hasn't had a husband to emotionally support her or share a meaningful life with so it is not suprising that she turned to the security of money and possession for her solace...was that choice better than nightly soju?) The marriage is over (has been for a very long time) but there had to be good times in the past and if Grandpa would move in her direction just a little bit, perhaps they can both accept their realities and part peacefully. He also needs to apologize for the sins he committed against her; whether anyone thinks they were justified or not. They have showed us a hen pecked man but I don't find him any better than Granny by his deceitful actions all of these years. He should have come clean years ago and saved everyone the misery!

I guess it is scary that she passed the ill-mannered evil gene to both her daughter and granddaughter. I don't blame gross old gramps for trying to break free of those "ladies" (I use the term very loosely there) . I for one would love to see Ilhong haul off and whack one of those harpies when they come after her (again and again and again). I would love to see their reaction to that move.
