Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)


I'm not seeing these episodes here yet, but from what I'm reading, Ex and his mother could be glad there's a child they can claim is his. They could hold the child up as a trophy to try to negate any rumors about his homosexuality. Its obvious to me that the mother is a homophobe and is ashamed of her son's proclivities. Otherwise she'd have supported his lifestyle a long time ago. Instead he was forced to live a lie. Still no excuse for his violent behavior. No excuse!

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)


Hyeonsu isn't a violent person and I am sure that was probably the first time in his life he ever hit anyone. I think Hyeonsu's knowledge of what Suin really went through with this jerk is what prompted him to ask her to come back to him. He feels helpless in protecting her but...if he can get back with her he could have more leverage in protecting her. (well, not now because ex knows that's his baby).

I just want to know if Hye knows Suin isn't her mom's bio child. I don't think he knows that. And I don't know why she didn't mention it. He will never give her up if he knows she isn't a blood relative.

I agree Smoochie...If ex has a child then that would stop any rumors of him being homosexual.

I may be wrong but I believe if a man beats his child (as ex's father did to him) that man also beats his wife. A violent person is violent to anyone close to them. If ex's father beat him then he must have beat ex's mother as well.

I`ve noticed that the gay angle has been ignored,and the violent rage empasized. I wonder if the gay lover was also abused and will travel to Korea to confront the Ex. Whatever, the guy needs medical treatment before someone gets killed. I`ve also never seen such rudeness toward older adults.

This is one instance (and I hope the one & only one) that I wish Suin will have a miscarriage. That jerk & his family will do everything in their power to be in her life and get custody of the child.
I did not see the start of this drama where they show that the ex was homosexual.
Also, I can't believe those investors coming and physically abusing Suin's Dad. I've seen that in other dramas where the creditors swoop down on the family and take everything in the house. They don' t go thru the legal process.

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)


class blockquote I just want to know if Hye knows Suin isn't her mom's bio child.My guess is no. I was under the impression that his mom thinks Suin is her ex-SIL's bio daughter. class blockquote I wonder if the gay lover was also abused and will travel to Korea to confront the Ex. LOL, we think alike. I posted that on the prior page and added that it would be ironic if ex-lover came to Korea and defended Suin against him.

KDR - been thinking about that all day. There is always that chance, especially if they have Ex go into therapy. I can't see the writers have him go all teary-eye, melt and change just from seeing his newborn baby.

But, I'm thinking either jail or death. I think the baby will be born and might even be a boy and his mother will witness Ex being violent against Suin (and/or possibly baby) and his mom will do "something" to prevent the cycle from continuing with the next genertion.

Another thought - maybe the ex-lover, not knowing where in Korea Ex lives, finally finds him and confronts him. In a fit of rage, Ex doesn't want it to be known he is gay/bi and in defending himself ex-lover kills Ex. Another thought, if Ex's father shows up, he may not want the cycle to continue and be the one to put an end to Ex.... one way or another.

I do think there might be KDR for Ex's mother. I think when the family realizes what she has gone through, they may give her visitation rights to her grandchild. class blockquote Remembering how some Korean fans can't seem to differentiate between the actor and the character and practically attack them on the streets, I feel sorry for this guy. Same here. Wonder if the glasses and the stache are fake. And, the hair and eyebrows are different, too, so not to be recognized.

Hiro and Jisu - I know I'm in the minority here, but they don't "pop" for me. Don't think their acting is that great. Glad when their scenes are over.

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)


I seem to be incorrect in most of my speculations recently, but here goes again!

I'm kinda guessing the gay angle will just die out because I can't see the Daily Drama target audience comfortable with the subject. My guess is the writers used it as a rather sensational 'hook' to draw in viewers from the start and to establish how really horrible Suin's marriage circumstance was—besides life-threatening physical beatings, EX had his gay lover living with them in the same household.

If I had to guess what happens to EX, I can see him running back to the States to escape any legal problems his violence or unethical business practices might lead to in Korea. I've also thought he might meet an untimely death somehow. I can't imagine Suin would ever go back to him—unless she has a child that he gets custody of and she lives with him to protect her child.

My favorite scene with EX so far was when he showed up at the Hans and says, I'd like some dinner, Mother. I had a good laugh over that one. But I'm glad he went there. Otherwise the family would never have heard just how viciously he had beat Suin. She doesn't seem like one to air her dirty laundry to others, even to her parents. So, from that point of view, I was glad EX showed up as his arrogant, evil little self.

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)


Okay, Ex appeared here on the east coast tonight for the first time. We saw him coming as Suin was supposed to be going. I know he's a vicious, reprehensible person, but his looks are laughable. He looks like a dandy. So this means he's a revolting abuser dressed like a fop. And from first impressions, a really bad actor. Anybody old enough to remember Billy De Wolfe? emoticon

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)


Dahling!! OMG, mom even told sonny boy that he could remarry Suin. Do they even consider that Suin and her family would object? They are assuming that they can just take the baby and that ex can remarry Suin if it helps them take the baby.... (but that's what he wants anyway).

I don't understand why gramps (ex's father) would want the baby. Mom said he has waited so long for a grandson ... Grandson???? .... AND MIND YOU MOMMY DEAREST GOT TO SEE THE ULTRASOUND AND KNOWS IT'S A BOY????? oh, anyway, gramps waited for this grandson? WHY? He beat his own son (apparently often) so is he in need of another punching bag?

Hyeonsu doesn't seem that devastated to me over losing Suin. He seems resigned to never being with her and she seems the same.

Seems all I have left in the hopes dept. is for Jisu & Hiro... And that looks totally one sided...

They need to do something to cheer me up...

Smoochie: Billy DeWolfe? He was the "second banana" in a lot of old black and white film comedies.

Re: the Ex abusing the child-odds are if it is a boy, the child will probably be abused. It's another power thing. A male child seems to make an abuser feel that his role as the power holder/head of the family in the family is challenged. If the child is a girl he may not be as abusive because she may be seen by him as a powerless creature. The female child has to have a strong personality and treat him as an equal with her attitude.

The issue of him being gay/bi is a separate thing. There are gay/bi men who are caring, loving fathers. Being gay/bi doesn't automatically make him abusive. However the Ex had a male lover and rubbed Suin's nose in that fact to add to his abuse. I'm sure the Ex's lover is also upset about competing with a wife. The Ex's undoing will be his rage. I like the idea of him returning to the States. Hmmm..I wonder if he is a strong swimmer.

Oh Smoochie, Billy de Wolfe was a lovely , funny actor. He had his definite personality and played to it in every role. The only thing the EX has in common is that thin mustache. And whoever said the actor was bad is right. He just doesn't know how to be this character and maybe it's because he is young and hasn't got the experience.
