Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
I have been watching this drama, and I must say that Hyeonsu's parents are ridiculous. I know she was married before, but big deal. Ialso hate the fact they through in "she also had miscarriage", you can't hold that against somebody. His aunt is also annoying. She has a big mouth, and butts into everybody elses business. She does play her character good. I have seen in a lot of other dramas. I can't wait for tonight, last Friday it ended when she went to Jisu's birthmother's house.

K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
Stop blaming Hyeonsu's parents and family members. It's really the ridiculous writers and their trying to keep a dead show continuing. The writing is pretty trite and too much like an America Soap Opera.

K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
I made a comment about Suin and Hy moving into his family's home. The most difficult part will be the Auntie-Dr. Mom combo. Minsu's wife will be the peacemaker. Dr. Mom will eventually come around but it will take Auntie much longer.
In my own life, I met and married the man I chose...and I can testify to how well that turned out. The third week we were married he tried to strangle me. During the next 22 years we lived together, he tried to kill me several times. I never told my family, his family, my friends or anyone. There is the argument that we should all pick out the mate we desire without any parental influence but it does not guarantee you a good, kind or loving spouse. In my case, I always knew that my dad was right (my dad just didn't like him), but then I would have to admit I was wr..wro...wron....wrong. There I said it. After my parents died I divorced him and then I talked about it in courses I taught regarding abuse. Would I have been better off having my parents pick out someone for me? Maybe...maybe not.
There is a place for customs. They exist to protect the family and sometimes to protect us from ourselves. The problem with all of it is the divorce rates in America and in Korea are very high.
There is something to be gained by having several generations living in one home. It can be difficult, but it does provide more guidance and closeness to the younger members and the younger ones learn to respect the older ones. I'm sure part of the problem is having a space large enough for a large group of people and having the means to support them.

K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
I really enjoy these dramas. We could not have the same scenarios in the US because of the social structure. What makes it so engaging is the way the writers weave the situation and come up with surprises. Keep them coming!

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
Har1102: I sent you a PM. Let me know if you received it...
I WISH my granddaughters would listen to me regarding the men they date. But they don't. Sometimes the wisdom and experience of 'elders' are of good use.
I think Dr Mom would have snatched Suin up for Hyeonsu in a second if.... If Suin hadn't been married before, if Suin hadn't had a miscarriage, and if Suin wasn't the step daughter of of a woman who was once married to the brother of Dr Mom's husband. In America none of this would matter (99% of the time anyway). But in Korea and many other countries, things are not done the American way...
I do understand Dr Mom's reasoning... to a degree. Mostly I think Dr Mom is a big whiny baby and I don't like her. She wants her children's happiness as long as it's what SHE wants. This is proven also by her getting so mad over Jisu visiting her bio mom. Now that Jisu knows the truth... AND IS AN ADULT, what is the problem with her seeing her bio mother???? On other shows (My Too Perfect Sons), the bio mom still holds an important role. Even Dr Mom was afraid bio mom would take Jisu away from her... AN ADULT WOMAN MIND YOU!!!
Dr Mom can be disappointed that her son didn't marry who Dr Mom thought appropriate but now that they are married, try to love and truly accept Suin. It is ridiculous that Suin has to work at obtaining her in-laws love BUT I think she is still right to try. It's better to try to win them over sooner than later... (if it has to be done at all).

K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
I`ve watched these daily K -Dramas for many years,and like some better than others. This one is somewhere in the middle, short with not too many storylines, which is good. I`m also attracted by Korean family relationships and social structures,much different than the US, with different problems.

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
"So, they should just go to bed and stay there! " that is the funniest thing I've read all day... because I'm a little behind most of you I'm just at the point were SMom didn't get that meeting with Jisu in their little one-up-womanship game of ignoring each other and what did Smom do? took her to bed all day. hahahaha
Re not liking a drama. I've really enjoyed some of these more than others, and when a really delightful one ends I always dread the beginning of another because I know it's going to be hard to watch another that isn't going to be as good, so in the begiinning of almost every one I get discouraged and miss a few episodes at the very front. then I miss watching so I tune in and decide if it's not as good at least I get to enjoy a K Drama, and every time if I watch long enough, which I do, I end up enjoying the new one. Maybe not as much, but they are all good when you come down to it, some are just better in ways than others. Now I'm always watching for the "grouch" grandparents, the overbearing mothers, the young people in love but in impossible situations, the young women that have so much trouble with the "in laws" and I've come to find something good in every one of them, if nothing else, just getting to be involved and learn about another culture other than my own. in short? I'm hooked on D dramas. hahahaha my significant other wonders why I never get to bed before the wee hours and knows I watch the dramas, but had never seen one and last night he walked into my studio while it was on and just stood there staring.. hahahaha "What are you teaching yourself Korean?"...
"yes", it's an educational thing!" Which for me it is, but it's also my guilty pleasure...
susan who in real life is a 62 year old artist-anthropolgist addicted to K dramas and passes off the addiction as an "educational thing".. ;D

K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
`ooops! forgot why I came on, I actually had a question.
I'm watching another drama at the same time, with a long suffering mother who always takes to her bed and every time she wraps a white "cloth" like a thin scarf around her head like a bandage, but its' not tight, doeesn't crush her had down, kind of like a "rambo" thing but white. Does anyone know the purpose of this? In her case I'd say she's trying to hold her brains in, but I know it must have more to it than that because I've seen this in other dramas. It the cloth medicated?

Re: K-Drama: 집으로 가는 길 (The Road Home)
Enough is enough...something has to done about that miserable witch, Auntie  The way she treats her OWN family is unforgivable and I can't believe her father lets her get away with it!! She's nothing but a bullying, miserable, materialistic, vain & angry WITCH
What she did to Suin...whose own naivete and/or niceness is going to cause her major headaches...was as nasty as can get and I hope the family holds her responsible, especially Hyeonsu. I also didn't like how Suin's dad seemed to blame everything on Juho, whose grades' rank went way up, and allowed Auntie to come into his home & yell at everybody  Thankfully, Sumi was not intimidated & talked back to that witch!
It's gotten to the point where everytime I see Auntie's face now or hear her "hyena-like" screeching, I feel an incredible urge to put my fist through my TV screen  For crying out loud, somebody please "put her in her place" once & for all!!
