K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
Through the dialogue between the two mothers we learn that Suin's mom gave birth but was told by her mother that the baby had died. Her mother then drops the newborn off at the aunt/uncles house. Did the two doctors know who the mother of the infant was? do they know now? or were they just caring for an abandoned child? I think I missed it, were Suin's mom and Jisu's birth father married or was she just pregnant with his child? For some reason (that we will learn later I hope) the family truly abandoned and rejected Suin's mom (I need to find out her name and begin using it...) or was it a mutual abandonment? Surely a close-knit family like theirs should have kept in better contact with her especially considering the devasting trajedy that occurred with her "husband"
As we learned through flashbacks and the beginning commentary, Suin was always a kind, loving, energetic young girl and now after returning home from her marriage from hell she has been trying to adopt a cold, distant persona but in the face of kindness (Hyeonsu) her true character is resurfacing and therefore I am not surprised at the tug-of-war she is exhibiting with her decisions/actions etc. Of course we are all hoping that in the end the old Suin will reappear in totallity and she and Hyeonsu will ride off into the sunset with new baby in tow!

It`s not logical that Suin will always have to remain single and not be able to have more children. Hyoensu`s mom will probably be the last one to agree to the marriage. The 2 doctors knew who Jisu was. They thought her bio-mother was in the US, since she hadn`t contacted them in 27 years,and didn`t know she thought her daughter had died.

My 9YO daughter is watching this drama with me. I told her that the type of guy she should marry would be someone like Hyeonsu, who is kind (to everyone, not just to Suin) and passionate about his work. Most of all, he loves Suin and accepts all her faults. I think this maybe a tall order for a 9YO--where is she going to find someone like that?! Afterall, Hyeonsu is a fictional character. But I want her to have some guideline as to what a nice guy should be. This is a nice family drama that everyone can relate to.

Yes, Jisu has a right to know, she can decide for herself if knowing her Mum if going forward with the relationship warrants any further interaction between them both. She seems to be happy with her life and her family, Why should it be changed, her Mum cannot take her away she is a grown adult. But, yet again you really do not know with these KDramas how they will twist the event even thou we the viewers know the truth.
Remember Hyeonsu is playing a character we can fall in love with his character and wish, but at the end of the day it still what it is. In real life he is a rapper, not much else I can tell you I saw him on a show exhibiting his performance.
In life we all want a Hyeonsu, even me but boy oh boy at what cost......

BTW, I missed the first 5 episodes of the show. Did they say why the lead characters break up? Any reason why Suin would marry another guy, even if he was filthy rich.Suin and Hyeonsu were in college and madly in love. She wanted to get married and he told her he was going off to the army and no longer wanted to marry her. It broke her heart and she went along with the marriage match made by her mother.
This week we had a little hint that Hyeonsu may have felt unqualified to marry Suin back then and deliberately broke up with her as a self-sacrifice so she would have a better marriage match. Who knows? Maybe someone back then went to HS and convinced him to step out of Suin's life? As for Suin, she was so heartbroken over HS that she settled for a good "match" her mother made, even though it was not a marriage Suin wanted. class blockquote curly carrot wrote:

For some reason (that we will learn later I hope) the family truly abandoned and rejected Suin's mom (I need to find out her name and begin using it...) or was it a mutual abandonment? Maybe it was a deleted scene on KXLA, but I haven't seen that S-mom's mother took the baby and gave it to the two doctors. In the translation early on, it was said that S-mom was married to Yonghwan, the deceased brother. Yonghwan was killed rushing over to his loud-mouth sister's house because she wanted a divorce from cabbie. That night he was supposed to go to his "wife" (currently S-mom) because it was her birthday. Instead, he was killed when his car crashed (no other vehicles involved).
I do believe that Sunjeong and Yongjung (the two doctors) know exactly whose baby Jisu is, that's why they took her in. Jisu is Yongjung's niece (his deceased brother's child). My guess at this point (changeable daily) is that S-mom's mother had a deal with Cabbie's wife to take the baby and have it raised by Yonghwan's brother and SIL. It won't surprise me if Yongseon (cabbie's wife) and S-mom's mother agreed to lie about the baby. Probably they told Sunjeong (Jisu's adoptive mom) that S-mom did not want the baby and left to live in the States, telling S-mom her baby had died.
Last night Hyeonsu's mom was genuinely surprised to see S-mom in Seoul, and equally surprised to learn that she had never left and that she believed her baby had 'died.' Sunjeong wanted to fess up to S-mom but quickly changed her mind and decided to leave well enough alone, excusing herself and leaving.
So, there really was not an abandonment of the baby (Jisu) at all. The person abandoned was S-mom—both by her own mother and probably her SIL, cabbie's wife. Cabbie's wife was way over the top in her violent opposition to S-mom attending the memorial—she's definitely hiding a lot and wants S-mom to never come back again for fear she might find out about Jisu.

I think all the grownups in the Yu family knows the background of baby Jisu because in one scene where Jisu went to the country to visit her grandfather, the "grandmother" mentioned that she is looking more like her father everyday. The grandfather shot her a look and it seemed the "grandmother" had a slip of tongue. Then the woman doctor was discussing how she never wants to loose Jisu because she doesn't want Jisu to find out about her birth. Then there was another scene where the woman doctor saw S-Mom getting into a taxi and realized who she was. So from these 3 scenes, we can be sure that the grandfather and the two doctors know about who her mother was.
It's always disappointing to find out the actor is not the same as the character he portrays. I mean the words uttered by the actors are the words of the writers. So although I'm hoping there are guys like Hyeong-Su in this world, they are a rare breed. Even so, the actor who plays Hyeong-Su is very good looking (and good acting job too), so it's worth every minute watching this show when he is on.

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
Right now they are focusing more on the three Dr's and the fraud case against them at the hospital. At first I wanted more of Hyeonsu and Suin but I really enjoyed tonight's episode.
When Minsu was thrashing around while throwing a total fit in the bed I was absolutely rolling. He is doing such a great job as the self centered, shallow total brat of a 'man'... Obviously he is well educated but he is the biggest baby ever!!
I was hoping Hiro and Jisu would walk in on the traditional 'Korean family' that Jisu wanted to show Hiro. Oh well, maybe that would have been too much comedy for one episode...
Suin's ex is on his way back to Korea. Suin's father wants to hide her away and she is all for it. She wants to tell Hyeonsu but couldn't bring herself to yet because he was obviously distracted by family problems. Also, he made comments about having so much work to do. Maybe Suin will feel guilty and obligated to stay longer, which will put her in her ex's path!!
Oh, another funny was when cabbie wife called her dad to complain about him putting his house up for collateral. She manages to throw in how he was willing to put up his house for her brother but not for her when she was trying to get her husband a cab... Her and her nephew Minsu are two peas in a pod!! She should have rushed over to join Minsu having a tantrum in bed!..
All the adults in that family know about Jisu's birth. Only the three kids don't know. And of course the bio mom has no clue. I think if bio mom was cheated out of her own child, she should be told the truth. However, cab wife will never let her SIL tell. She's the one who demanded nothing be said.
Jisu will still love her mom as her mom, no matter what happens. Even if she develops a relationship with her bio mom she will still have room for the mom who raised her. Jisu has a big heart... However, I think when she finds out the truth she will be horrified/hurt. I always say that children can know and accept ANY truth but if you find out these secrets after you're grown it seems to be emotionally devastating.
