Sung-ae's reaction to the new boy

[bettyboop]

wow! i was completely shocked at her reaction to finding out about min-sup bringing the boy home. she didnt seem like a person who would throw a fit like that. i was also completely floored when she said that min-sup and her mother never do anything... what does she think housework is?!?! i totally cannot believe she said that... it was pretty out of character for me...

sidenote: exactly how long has jaemin n jihae's store been open? like barely a week.. they make it sound as if they've opened the store for a long time ... saying that its almost been a long time since they've had any fun...

how dare you expect the plot to make sense every episode.

BUT seriously, just because we watch it everday, they are not following an every day schedule,some of these plot developments have happened over several days,weeks or months,three episodes for us might be one month or even two for them.

Sung-ae may feel threatened by the addition of another person who once again will take her husban's attention away from her. She finally got him to stop crying about his prescious daughter and then BAM we have someone else who needs his attention and it isn't me.

The crack about the housework was a bit harsh, but remember she's the only one working and bringing home the bacon. She's more of a man then her husband in that respect. Poor Grannie cleans and cooks and gets no, "Thank you" for her efforts, plus she seems to be the only one with a head on her shoulders.

I wish grannie would stop giving her grown son money. Force him to make his own, he's hardly selling his paintings and rolling in dough. I see red everytime he plays the little boy and begs for money, then gets mad because it's not enough. Egad!

i no that not every episode equals a day.. but wasn't it like maybe a few episodes ago that they said they only opened for a few days?? i remember when jihae ran into the friend of her mother's and jaemin said that they an't go back cuz its only been a few days and if they went back they'd be the laughing stock oh wells

Don't you mean, "Aigu"?

You're right about her reaction to the kid. It seems that everyone in that house is only interested in themselves. They only see things from their own selfish point of view. I was really shocked the AF even stopped to think about that boy, much less went back to help him. At least grannie came up with a reasonable plan, even if she should have made the AF do the dishes, not Sung-ae.

So. Who do you guess as the mom! First, I thought it was Jin-kook's evil step, but that kid is tooooo young. Then, I wondered, maybe it's the bar hostess! Wouldn't that be wild? Or what about that girl who was Jin-kook's arranged date? She could possibly be old enough, we don't really know anything about her.

I lean towards the Arranged Date, but the Mom could also be the young woman at the loan office who liked Jin-kook.

hmm i thinking that it's possible that the boy's mom isnt any one of the characters in the show cuz they mite jsut wannt to throw us off or something..or add a storyline ... kinda like they did w/ OMR (i believe the boy's name was ji-hong)... did they ever find his parents or was he just like an adopted kid? i never had the time to watch every episode so im not exactly sure...

Oof...you are behind, LOL. No, they never found the dad of Ji-hong on OMR. I hope that's not what's happening here.
