Mingi went and got his woman back (I'm jumping the gun here. They're not quite there yet). Yuri wasn't gone long and he clearly missed her. Now he needs to stand up to his mom. In fact, all 3 brothers should do so. TABLO - TOMORROW MV (feat. Tae Yang)

In ep 29, Yuri brags to Shin Young about seeing all of Min Gi in the shower. His reaction gives away that Yuri is telling the truth. Shin Young seems to realize that Min Gi likes Yuri. That's why he lets Yuri stick to him like glue. It hasn't dawned on Min Gi yet that he likes her. He tells his family and friends that Yuri is just a kid and he's only being nice to her. Yuri reminds me a lot of Lee Tae Ran's character in Who's My Love.

In ep 31, Yuri crashed Mingi's blind date. She tried to act like it was a coincidence she was there. He wasn't buying it. It seems like the smell of Yuri's hair might be what finally wins him over lol. They are moving slooooowly with their relationship but it's a 50 episode drama after all.

As of ep 34, we're finally getting somewhere with Min Ki and Yuri. Everyone else seems to realize what's going on here except for Min Ki. Yuri was acting cute after having too much wine. Min Ki was looking at Yuri with too much want in his eyes lol.

In ep 37, Min Ki and Yuri had their first kiss. We're supposed to ignore that she behaves like a total stalker.

In ep 39, Boknam (Yuri) gets a makeover. She wants to seem older to Min Ki. He almost doesn't recognize her.

In ep 43, now that Boknam has Minki's attention, she's changed her game up a bit.

Rascal Sons ended last weekend in Korea. Some final thoughts, mostly about Minki & Boknam.
Hyunki & Inok got back together after their brief split. No surprise there. Mirim tried to run away from her problems but Seungki made her come her senses. They got back together too. I have little sympathy for cheaters. Still, if a couple with children can work out their issues, it's what is best for all involved. Not sure what the purpose of Songhi was in this series. Her storyline went nowhere.
Minki introduced Boknam as his girlfriend to his parents. The dad already liked her. The mom not so much but gave in anyway. I thought the talk of marriage and children was a bit premature. I did like that Minki offered to find her mom. I wish they would have talked about Boknam going to school though. She's only 21. She didn't go to college. I think that was more important than going straight into marriage talk for a couple that's only been together a short while.
Boknam was mostly around for comic relief early on. We learned a bit more about her as the drama went on. I think they could have done more with the character. We got vague details about her grandfather and missing mother. She literally just starts appearing and then follows Minki back to Seoul. She behaved too much like a stalker. She was inspired by him to become an author. Boknam could have easily moved to Seoul to pursue a career as a writer and been reunited with him. Once Kanghee was brought in, their meetings and interactions became more natural.
I don't tend to watch family dramas. They revolve too much around MIL's disliking their future DIL's. Aside from a few issues (the whole Hyunsu & Taejoo matter, Seungki & Mirim towards the end and Boknam's stalker like behavior), this one wasn't so bad.
