Jin-Kook straying?

[sandy]

After tonight's episode, Jin-Kook was dining with Eun-Soo's ex whom he knew from his days as a student. She's trying to persuade him to take her into his business. Jin-Kook seemed very amused by this situation, even interested in the possibility. At home, Hee-Soo tends to the family, finds out that Jin-Kook was with the ex, but then tells him to prepare his own bath. Good for her! She's tired of being there to take care of everyone.

I wish her mother would mind her own business, as her father told her mother to do. Hee-Soo shouldn't feed into the controlling situation where her mother makes plans for her children. With Golfer Dad and Mother sort of getting back together, to care for Jin-Soo, it's time for Hee-Soo to find something outside that will make her feel important. I think her plans for Mother to pick up Jin-Soo from her uncle's place after taking art lessons is a step for independence.

Hee-Soo is strong, but not a manipulating person like the ex. Future episodes will only get better.

I hope that Jin-kook is NOT taking an interest in Young-lan. About the business deal, I think that Jin-kook was thinking about it at first. But because he got into that argument with Hee-soo and was upset at the time, he decided that he would take on Young-lan's business deal afterall. I don't know if he made that decision because it would be a good thing or because he was just mad and did that to spite Hee-soo?

Both of these fools were annoying me yesterday. One because he wouldn't say where he was, the other one because she wouldn't ask exactly what she wanted to know. But I am glad that she told him to draw his own bath. She should have done that a long time ago, just because he has hands that work.

That receptionist girl is still trying to get his claws on him.

that little wanna be homewrecker of a receptionist is probably the one who sent the text mssg.I know they needed a way for hee-soo to find out about the dinner but I mean c'mon ,how would she know hee-soo's phone number and even if she did know it,how did she know they went to dinner?

AND EPI. 102
why would dumba$$ jin-kook take young-lan to the same restaurant his FIL works,especially since my ai-jin told him not to tell anyone about what they were up to.

also I am worried about jee-hae she seems really afraid of this surgery.

[Lovely]

Yeah, what is up with that receptionist girl at Jin-kook's workplace? I always thought she wasn't just a minor character. Remember how we first met her? That was when Jin-kook was the rebellious I-don't-give-a-care-in-the-world kind of guy and he was in his office throwing his plaque into the garbage can when the receptionist girl walked in with orange juice. He asked her if she wanted to "play" with him that day. So I don't know what kind of relationship they had. Also when the receptionist girl told that other guy that worked there (who's always sending JK those text messages about Mr. Park) that JK smiled @ her. I think that she also could be the one who sent HS that text msg. Ji-hae did say that whoever sent that message to her cousin must have been jealous of HS and JK's relationship.

[PhillyDen]

I think Wenchy herself sent the text message to Hee-Soo (if she had a moment away from Jin-kook???) just to rub her nose in the fact that she had Hee-Soo's man's attention even if only for the length of a dinner. I think JK was oblivious to what restaurant they picked, but Wenchy was not. She knew about Eun-soo's Dad's car parking job there.I bet she selected the site.

[Lucy]

That's what I thought, too. But then again, they have been planting tiny seeds about that receptionist all through the series, about how she likes Jin-kook, so maybe that's eventually going to develop, and maybe she sent the message. I dunno at this point.

[toranaga]

there is no way younglan sent that text,it doesn't fit her character at all,she would not have cared whether hee-soo liked it or not.she just wanted it secret to protect jin-kook from interogation by his MIL and his wife.

[sandy]

I never thought about the receptionist being a trouble-maker, but maybe she is. Jin-Kook is stupid to take the Ex to the restaurant where his FIL works. I don't think the Ex sent Hee-Soo that text message because her ambitions run higher than making her ex SIL jealous. I think Jin-Kook is just self-centered not caring how his relationship with the Ex will affect his wife. He's become so accustomed to her taking care of his family that he doesn't respect her as his wife.

I agree with you on all points, Sandy. The receptionist seems immature enough to pull such a stunt. She probably picked up the text message bug from working next to Mr. Lee, who kept Jin-kook informed on Mr. Park's actions by sending him all those messages. And I can't believe that Jin-kook is baffled by his wife's anger. It's a good thing he's pretty.

Oh yeah, she must have known that her FIL would tell his wife. Plus, I think she enjoys embarassing people. That was so disrespectful, the way she said to him "So, are you coming home from your parking attendant job?" instead of just saying, "Welcome home from work, Father!" a few eppys back. She had to rub it in that this respected man, who used to have a noble standing in the community, parks cars in his old age. Hee-soo's dad has been nothing but kind to this woman, and even defended her when Eun-soo's mom opposed their marriage, and she has to cut him down like that. There is a difference between speaking your mind, and just being rude.

[Lucy]

Yes, that's what bugs me about Young-lan. She is unnecessarily rude but thinks she is only admirably speaking her mind. She's so vindictive to "speak down" to Hee-soo because Eun-soo did so to her cousins. When she and Hee-soo were talking yesterday and she was priding herself on her independent thought and iconoclastic ways, I think Hee-soo should have said, "And how happy and satisfied has your attitude made you?" Then tossed her head and skedaddled, snickering to herself like Young-lan.

I do not admire her at all. I think Young-lan is what Golfing Dad would call "twisted."

[sandy]

I think the Ex is a controlling B**** who enjoys the attention, making others think that she's so intelligent and outstanding. Jin-Kook is a real self-centered jerk, in love with himself. At the end of one episode, Hee-Soo was in bed with him, telling him that she should just go for a "curretage" treatment. He's so self-centered that he didn't have a clue as to what she was talking about or even concerned about her health. He said something like "do what you need to do". What an insensitive jerk!

Now that Hee-Soo's pregnant, he seemed shocked when she told him at the office. Honestly, I didn't think they were having any marital relations. Hee-Soo's mood irritability is understandable, but it's very clear that she's pregnant when she took that nap before dinner. Poor Hee-Soo, who is a kind person, won't get much help from Jin-Kook who seems to be interested in the Ex.

[hachiue]

I actually think that Hee-soo is much more manipulative than Young-lan. YL basically speaks her mind, even though it's not admirable. Sure, she's trying to be manipulative, but at least she's openly harridan-ish. HS, on the other hand, is just as bad, except she acts nicer about it to keep it under wraps so people can't help but call her nice.

I don't know what the exact translation of curettage to Korean would be, but I know in English that it's not even specifically related to abortion (but scraping tissue/growths from a body cavity) and also not used linguistically very often (I know I could easily find people who didn't know what it meant) - maybe the term she used in Korean was pretty obscure, so I wouldn't blame JK for that.

[Lucy]

But "D and C" is--dilation and curettage. I usually hear it used to mean a therapeutic abortion--that is, one that is deemed necessary for medical reasons. A D & C can be done for other reasons, too, I believe.

I feel funny talking about this because if we go too far into it, someone might get upset, and we sure as heck don't want to start debating the subject here. But anyway, that's what I immediately thought when she said curettage, though of course you're right, hachiue, that curettage is simply a technique used for many reasons.
