K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
An older relative in my family was told she was adopted after her adoptive parents had both died. It took her a while to adjust,but she finally came to understand that the adoption was done to give her a better life, and she later developed a good relationship with her bio-relatives. Wouldn`t the 3 doctors in the family do better financially without the economic burden of a small hospital?

K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
Dr. Dad is repeating the mistakes of his own father, treating his own son in similar ways that he was treated (I thought perhaps he saw that and was going to break the chain of history repeating itself but when he stepped up and took full responsibility for the fraud I don't think he yet recognizes the true needs that his son has.
Protecting owns family is a very important value however I don't believe that shielding an adult from consequences of illegal actions (especially since he had already warned Minsu) is not helping that person to mature and behavior correctly, and honorably. As the head of the hospital, it is true that he should bear some of the responsibility but taking is all was not right IMO

No one should rescue them. Minsu need to be taught a lesson, that is cal collateral damage the parents are not doing anything good by taking the blame. Minsu and his sister are cut from the same cloth GREEDY! OFFENSIVE! and downright annoying.
Why is Gramps loosing his house when his house was mortgage? This is another senario that in the real world it would never happen.

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
The whole family coming together financially is the core of their culture: Family first, nation second, individual third. If the hospital fails, all the family members will suffer major loss, including Gramps. He did put up his home as collateral at his DIL's request. If the loan cannot be repaid, Gramps loses his house. This is about as real as it gets.
I have a friend in a Southeast Asian country who went through something similar. Her older sister secretly borrowed a lot of money and lost it. To pay back that loan and keep her from going to prison, the parents were forced to sell their home and possessions and had to move in with their eldest daughter several hundred miles away. (All this trauma almost killed them.) The younger sister (my friend) spends every possible cent she earns (that isn't required for basic survival) to pay off the creditors. Creditors who do, by the way, come and physically attack them just as we have seen in many of our K-dramas. There is no bankruptcy court relief the way we see here in the US.
It's not so easy to keep everybody straight about who is related to whom.
Gramps children are: class ul Yongjun (Dr. Dad)
Jongseon (Cabbie's wife)
Yonghwan (deceased, probably father of Jisu)The two doctors' (Yongjun & Sunjeong) children are: class ul Minsu
Hyeonsu
Jisucurly carrot, I've been struggling with the names of S-Mom and S-Dad for a while, so finally looked them up...
Han family (Character/actor)
* Han Su In - (older sister) Jang Shin Young
* Han Su Mi - (younger sister) Kim YuRi
* Han Ju Ho - (teenage brother) Choi Min Hwan
* Han Dae Hun - (S-Dad) Han Jin Hee
* Oh Sun Yung/Seon Young - (S-Mom) Lee Bo Hee (wives do not change their last names when marrying)

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
I've been enjoying this drama very much with all its twists and turns and agree with just about all the comments.
Finally a drama that we all like.  class blockquote pali wrote:
Hiro is my least favorite. Why, I don't know. His looks are not especially appealing to me so that might be the reason. Also, his behavior is somewhat immature or silly. I agree. I'm undecided if its the actor or the character or both. Both the actor and character doesn't 'pop' for me. I couldn't stand watching him in that food commercial.

In real life he is quite hansome, the problem is with his two front teeth one of the front was chipped from the side, that makes his teeth spaced wider, any infliction when it come to teeth throws off a person's looks. All he need to do is veneer his upper teeth, changes everything his looks plus his mouth/smile.
I like his character, but again maybe his character has to look that way and eventually they will groom him into shape. That's call building a model.

nchristi, thanks for the clarification on the S parent's names. I apologize for not taking the time myself to look it up...
Oftentimes people that are not so "perfect looking" are quite photogenic and vice versa but I don't see that in the case of Hiro, he may be a nice guy but his looks, his commercial "acting" and his photos do nothing for me. The bigger story behind him must be coming in the future

I like this show for its dramatic alliteration--the single mother theme (suin and suin's step mom) and the 2 doctors who felt their fathers are hard on them, and yet they yearn for their fathers' respect. So far so good. That Lee Sang Woo is such an eye candy. He just lights up the screen with his smile! I love the scene where he and Suin sat on the steps of their old school and reminisced (he then held her hand). Very sweet! In comparison, Hiro just looks creepy. I didn't like his kimchi commercial either. It was awkward (was he suppose to act awkward?!) and yet all the women watching the video segment were saying what a wonderful job he did. Jisu's continued support of Hiro makes her look idiotic. She should get her brother Hyeonsu to do the commercial instead!!! (just kidding!)
Now, if Suin's stepmother didn't know her baby didn't die, then the Yu family must have done something to make her think the baby died. Perhaps her own mother told her that the baby died and gave the baby to the Yu family. Then the mother tells the Yu family that her daughter had gone to America so they wouldn't look for her. No wonder Hyeonsu's mother looked so guilty in front of Suin's stepmother--it's like she stole her daughter from her.
