K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
So far, it`s not clear what Suin knows about her own backround including the indentity of her bio-mother. I think she knows that her mother is actually her step-mother. She`ll probably question her parents next week and demand they reveal the facts, which her Mom will resist.

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
I have a lot of empathy for Suin's mom. Suin being connected with Hyeonsu and his family opens up a very deep, overwhelming level of trauma for Seonyong—a level she cannot handle emotionally. She had a complete mental breakdown years ago when her husband died, the family (Auntie) wouldn't let her near the memorial service, she gave birth, was told the baby died, too. She was left trying to pick up the pieces and get her life back together again. Which she did. She cannot easily handle being once again immersed back into those memories, that time period—as we saw this past week when she almost went into hysteria during a mere discussion about it.
Seonyong was originally okay with having Hyeonsu as a future SIL but now there are two major problems that cannot be separated one from the other. First, the pain SY cannot handle facing her in-laws once gain; and second, the Korean social taboo of marrying 'within' the extended family.
Ex. Suin called his bluff, taking away his leverage against her. Since threats and bullying didn't work, he's decided to try the opposite tactic—Mr. Nice Guy. You can bet your bottom dollar there is absolutely nothing sincere in what he said to Mr. Han—except that he wants to get Suin back. Yeah, get her back so he can stomp her to a pulp. There's no love for her in that guy. He just wants to hurt her any way he can.
I am afraid, though, of when Ex figures out Suin is pregnant with his child. Just for the heck of it he will go to all ends to get that baby. That will fulfill his familial obligation to produce an heir (gets his parents off his back). If he were half-way sane he would just marry some other poor sucker girl and have a kid with her, keeping his long-time guy lover on the side.
There is one plot line in this drama that bothers me a little and that is who is to blame for Jonghwan's death? Early on we had Auntie, her husband, and YongJun taking the blame. Jonghwan was on his way home to celebrate his pregnant wife's birthday. Auntie was fighting with her husband because he had taken and spent $500 she had saved. She threatened to divorce him and called her brother Yongjun (Dr. Dad) to come over and be a witness for her against the husband. Yongjun was busy (drunk?) and called his brother Jonghwan to go over in his stead. Jonghwan, wanting to help out his siblings, was headed to Auntie's when he had some sort of accident (no other car involved) and was killed. Now, how all this turns into Seongyong being responsible for her husband's death is hard to figure out. Is this just one of those weird storylines that the writers reshape to fit their use at the moment? Is Auntie hiding the truth of her involvement that night from her father? Are the only people who know the truth Auntie, the husband and Yongjun? Is Seongyong merely a convenient object to blame for everything?

You`re right nchristi. Either the writers are not consistent,or there are things about the death that are being hidden and will eventually come out. The same goes for the dead mother and wife,where many have been blamed. We know that there will be forgiveness in the end,it`s just a matter of getting past all the anger and revealing the truth.

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
Bugoy – your comment on page 14 about the slo-mo when Mrs. Han passed Kisu – it was like foreshadowing for the viewers that there is something between these two characters. You were spot on that they were mother/daughter.
curly carrot – your comment on page 15 – “as long as they don’t make Suin and Hyeonsu distant relatives” – LOL! Guess writers didn't agree with you. LOL!
Also your comment, “how are they ever going to prove physical abuse by the ex-husband” – what has amazed me, is that he has never once lost his temper with Suin, especially alone (unless I missed something along the way). I would think when they are together his bad temper would indicate he was physically abusive to her – IMO.
pali, this time I have to disagree with you. I like the plot twists and turns of who’s related to who. Though, for WINDY CITY, I totally agree with you.
Do we know for sure that Suin knows that Mrs. Han is a step-mom?
Well, after Fri’s ep, I guess Chow is back in the picture. And, will this now make a difference with Suin’s parents and in-laws that the two should get back together for the sake of the baby? If so, wonder if ex-male-lover will make an appearance after that to throw another monkey wrench in the plot twists.
Hello to canvaswriter, nice to meet you!

nchristi: Re: Suin's Ex trying the "Mr Nice Guy" routine-it will be a momentary blip. He will not be able to sustain being reasonable and nice... he will return to his threatening, creepy mode. In respect to the Ex finding a new victim. It probably won't happen because the women he approaches will sense something being terribly wrong with him and walk away. Mr Creepy's lover is probably as demented as he is and just as dangerous.
Pali: Your comment about various situations in this plot being unrealistic. If you take real life people and ask them to tell you about their life stories, most people's real life stories would also seem a bit over the top. I agree the plot is a bit of a stretch. The intertwinings of the family history are almost too complex. In respect to the part of the plot involving Suin and the creepy ex, trust me, there are people like this guy in the real world.
