Mr Creepy's lover is probably as demented as he is and just as dangerous. Hi, har1102, didn't mean to overlook you. Nice to meet you, too. 
That was my point, Mr. Ex seems seems to "normal" to prove abuse. I figured he had to go back to his old ways sooner or later. Wouldn't it be ironic if he abused his ex-lover, too, and he comes to Korea to defend Mr. Ex's ex-wife

K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
If Suin was the bio child of Seonyeong, still she won't be related to Hyeonsu, so what's the big deal????

K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
In this case the family connection has been complicated by the 27 year absence. If you can enter a family by marriage,can you leave it by being widowed and disappearing for 27 years? Isn`t she now a member of the Han family of her husband?

Even here in the States, your in-laws are legally always your in-laws regardless of how many times you marry—at least as far as the IRS goes. The good side of this is if you like your in-laws (ex or not), and find yourself caring for them financially, they qualify as legal dependents.
On the other hand, Korean society seems to be loosening up a lot. We've seen several dramas where marrying 'too close' was a problem. Our last one was like that with the brother and sister both wanting to marry into the same family and taking heat from their family about it. However, in the end love prevailed! I'm sure it will for Hyeonsu and Suin, too.
I didn't quite understand some comments posted earlier about Ex not showing violence. (Maybe I misunderstood?) We have seen at least a couple scenes where he was violent—not hitting anyone but throwing stuff around in a rage. I have no trouble seeing him as a physically abusive guy. We've seen him get close to Suin's face in very menacing ways. When she didn't flinch, Ex was surprised that she no longer 'feared' him.
Haven't watched last night's episode yet, so better get on to that...

In that episode,nchristi,the Ex tries to explain everything away by blaming strict US laws. He thinks it`s natural that couples have violent arguments, and the government shouldn`t get involved. The guy is sinister and evil; if he ever loved Suin,his actions didn`t show it.

Nchristi: Yelling abusive stuff in a rage; throwing things violently around in the presence of another person (that he trying to intimidate). This is abuse. Words can hurt and destroy. This is the part of abuse that makes the victim fearful--because if the abuser throws things around like that who is to say he won't throw her around. Verbal threatening can leave some serious psychological scars. Suin needs to distance herself from him. Right now the Ex sees her as a challenge to conquer-not out of love but he sees her more as prey.
You are right, Sherlesin, he is truly sinister and evil. Hopefully, they will not rehabilitate him by the final episode. The Ex is right, there are laws in most places regarding abuse. That is the good part. The bad part is that people are still ending up dead as a result of abuse. Suin could still become a victim. Her divorce doesn't automatically keep her safe from her Ex. He could still want revenge because she left him. In his mind, he probably feels that it is his choice whether she should be allowed to leave or if she should stay and endure his behavior.
