Anywhere? Even if it goes back to five a week, it won't end 'til May, so we seem to be stuck with it for a while. At least they keep throwing new plot twists at us all the time, so it isn't boring, but there's almost no cohesiveness to the storyline. ESM's brother and Mr. Park get written out with almost no resolution. Band-aid and his stalker friend just disapear. ESM ruins her husband financially, returns, and is easily welcomed back. Who killed her parents? "Uh, some guy. But let's not talk about the past." Maybe all the loose ends wil be tied up at the end of the show, but until then it just seems to be drifting. Even my least favorite drama, 'To Be With You', you could at least see that it was going somewhere. A lot of this has been noted before, but I just felt the need to vent. Oh, well, only another twelve (or maybe twenty ) weeks until something else.

I've enjoyed watching this drama, but hate to see it end. Where will it go? Jin-Kook's parents will continue to be happy, doting on Jin-Soo. Jin-Kook will become so involved with Young-lan that he'll ask Hee-Soo to leave because she becomes "boring". Hee-Soo, with a baby, may return home. Her mother, who strives to become someone, may help Hee-Soo work while helping her take care of the baby, but also helping her out in her own business. Eun-Soo will marry Jung-Hee because she doesn't pressure him into becoming successful. Ji-Woong will live with them. Jae-Min and Jae-Hae will become adoptive parents, making them very happy. Min-Sup will find out that he's been adopted, but will eventually become very happy being an adoptive "grandfather". Grandma will welcome this baby as a great-grandchild, giving her a purpose in life.

I hear ya, Soju! In fact, IMO I think this show could have stopped at around ep. 90 or 100 and I would have had fond memories of it. But now there is just no coherence w/the characters or the plot lines.
Like I've said before, I now look forward to Drama City on Thursday and Friday.

I have been absolutely sickened by every one of these characters lately. Sometimes I will end up hating every character, and then liking them again, in one week (and that's a 3-epi week!). At the very begining of this show, I thought it was the best drama I'd ever seen. Although Ji-hae and Jae-min were annoying, the Hee-soo/Jin-kook storyline was so good. Now they're all irritating (with the exception of JH and JM, so far). We have to wait until May for this to end?! I wish Sandy was a writer for this show, that Jin-kook/Young-lan/Hee-soo love triangle would really pick up the pace.

What about Hee-soo appa? He and Mrs. Appa made me cry last night with their conversation. Now THAT's how you talk to your wife! {Stupid sexy Jin-kook.}

I had a feeling you'd get that, Jenny. And now that I see your skiing avatar again, it's all the more appropriate. You're not thinking of Jin-kook while you ski with Min-jae, are you? That could lead to a painful accident.

Ah, that's a dangerous game you're playing, young Jenny. Jin-kook is just as likely to laugh at you for trying to make him jealous or, as we saw last night, say to you that if you're going to keep going out with Min-jae you might as well stay with him. Though, on second thought, that's not a bad outcome, either!

Jenny and panther, I agree with both of you. Can't you just imagine Jin-Kook very bored with Hee-Soo getting up at night with a new baby, centering her life around a new baby while taking care of his family? Young-lan gives Jin-Kook freedom, with both free from children and family. Isn't it kind of silly to see Young-lan living with Sung-Ae and Min-Sup cleaning house for them? Both Jin-Kook and Young-lan want to be free to establish a business partnership.
Hee-Soo still has feelings for others, so she may see the need to help her mother fulfill herself. If Hee-Soo leaves Jin-Kook, she still will have feelings for his family which she did so much to help. Hee-Soo just wants to see everyone happy. She is someone that would be welcomed into our families.

what would really be funny is if jin-kook ended up like Rob in the book/movie High Fidelity. Yeah, i cud picture him not giving a care about anything in this world including his wife. actually, is it just me, or does it seem like jin-kook has yet to learn how to love his wife. i mean saying it and applying it are two different things. i've never seen him take her to a romantic dinner, not just taking her out to eat! and now that she's pregnant, he should take extra special care of her instead of turning into Young-sil! Ps: in this latest episode of MPC on wednesday, where young-sil and young-lan talk to eachother for a few seconds and then young-lan goes away, was there a weird look on young-sil's face? i mean, i remember her like give this weird, "so it's you," kind of look on her face. oh forget it! i'm probably just hallucinating from a lack of food.

BAE your absolutly right about the weirdness going on between younglan and youngshil...i sensed it too. the way youngshil looked at younglan as she walked away was strange like she wanted to ask her a bunch or personal questions and didint have the chance.
i'll probably get people on this bored mad if i say this but i happen to really like jin kook (and im not just saying this because he's pretty lol) i mean jin kook came from a background where women either abused or abandoned him. he told hee-soo in the begining that he could not be a good husband because he dosent know how to love. i think that hee-soo need to give jin kook a break. he finally has a relationship with his father and he's trying to create a happy house hold for his baby. hee-soo is depressed because she has no more battles to fight, she's creating her own drama. jin-kook has had enough of the fighting and arguing. his whole life up to this point was a battle in its self.
