Oh yeah! That part about him having "dirty" thoughts was funny. It was funny when he was bowing to the air and asking forgiveness from his father. 'Specially cause he was breathing so hard. Whew! Cold shower time! I think you may be right about the translation into the word "dirty," Bo. I wonder what he really said.

That's what I thought of, too. Since he was so worked up, it must have been somewhere in between "naughty" and "X-rated."

Or maybe it was just "unpure thoughts", which is almost dirty except not as severe.

Good thought, GC. That's probably about the size of it, is my instinct.

Lots of stuff happened lst night.
Great Aunt totally flipped out, and physically attacked Younger Grandpa, who then got very drunk because the only way for him to avoid the pain of his sisters wrath would to be unconscious.
Goeun sends Joon to stay with her parents until things calm down. Grandma berates her for doing that without asking Grandpa first. When Grandpa later asks why he hasn't seen Joon all day, Grandma tells him, and he says "That's a good idea." Grandma then goes into her "No dishwasher or sending the laundery out until Goeun arrived" bit, but Grandpa reminds her that she herself refused the dishwasher, and that everyone knows how hard she's worked running the house.
The Aunts and Mr. Cha discuss what to do, and decide their only option is to return and face the music. Meanwhile, Great Aunt has gone to the temple, and bowed to Buddah 106 times. She returns home, calmer but still disturbed. Family members try to tend to her, but they just bother her and she sends them away.
Yoon-sik and Ji-yeon are sitting by the Han river. He asks her "Do you mind if I get up and stretch and then put my arm around you?" He say it's only polite to aske first, and she assures him it is OK. Hanna pesters Sang-sik to go out and have fun instead of studying. Hanna wants to ride a tandem bike too, and they ride right by Yoon-sik and Ji-yeon, and they all go out for coffee.
The Aunts return home, and after a brief stay Mr.Cha leaves. Kyung-hwa has said that she wants to live with Cha for even one day, and Duk-ja says "Fine, don't just live one day together, live 200 years! Live whistling and singing and dancing! You no longer have a Mother!"
There's then a very weepy scene where the Aunts say how they have never been able to go against their mother, because she was so strict. Duk-ja says how she had to be strict as a widow raising two daughters while working hard at whatever job she could get, so that people wouldn't think wrongly of her daughters because they had no father.
Yoon-sik and Ji-yeon are sitting in the dim light, drinking coffee. They are discussing the Kyung-hwa/Cha situation. He say he would do whatever his parents said, since they gave him life, and potential in-laws would be like parents to him, and that he would way until they came around. Ji-yeon says how touching it is that the two have finally been able to be together as adults. Yoon-sik is looking at her, and suddenly starts stammering about his 'impure thoughts'. She tells him, "You should never pounce for a kiss", and gently takes his face and kisses him. When she pulls away, he is dazed, and says "I'm going to fall over". She gets up and holds him. Then Sang-sik comes in and sees them, and they are all embarassed.
Sang-sik has been playing video games, even though Hanna wants to go home. He has told her that he can't date anyone he wouldn't marry, and she's not his type, sorry. She hits the reset button on the game, and sticks out her tounge at him. He gets bent out of shape, and takes off. She returns home and stews for a while, then Ji-yeon returns home all happy, saying she has tught Mr. Chicken Eyes to kiss. Hanna goes on about Sang-sik, and she doesn't have to want to marry him, she just like to have fun with him. Sang-sik hears this going up the stairs, and almost barges in, then thinks better of it, then almost barges in again, then thinks better of it again.
The next day, Yoon-sik is with Grandpa talking with Great Aunt. He says "Can I say something?" She says no, he's just a third person, but Grandpa convinces her to hear him out. He tells her what Ji-yeon told him (but much more appologeticly). Then Kyung-hwa and Cha enter, and Cha says he'll give up if he has to. Kyung-hwa says maybe he will, but she won't; the wedding will take place next week as planned. Grandpa has Yoon-sik go behind Great Aunt to catch her if she faints, but instead she lunges at Cha. The show ends with him protecting his nose, which Duk-ja has vowed to bite off.
Whew! I think that's most of it.

And a very exciting all of it, indeed, Soju!
I must have been able to catch a few episodes here and there the first time I watched it, because I'm seeing some things I saw before, but I haven't seen all of them before. If that makes sense. It's kind of fun to put the puzzle together, and some things that never made sense before do make sense now.

Upon further review, I notice I put a lot of stuff that happened Friday in my Saturday recap. Oh well, let's just say that eps 24 and 25 should be considered one two hour episode. Quite an eventful weekend it was.

Great recap, Soju. One thing I thought was really funny was when the men were worrying about what Grand Aunt was going to do to Mr. Cha. Hee-gup pointed out that she had just been to the temple, so her heart must be more peaceful now, but Younger Grandpa muses, "She could have gone to tell the Buddha, 'I'm here to give you notice that I'm going to kill Myounghwan.' " I just found that hilarious.

Younger grandpa is totally a stitch. I loved when he was lecturing his brother on being a dictator (at the store), and how he might find himself deposed. He seemed to be the only one who noticed that Heegup went red from shock, even without knowing that Heegup is ill. He's really more subtle than he appears to be. He's one of those characters who says what normal people might be thinking but not saying. However, so many in this family do that, LOL...

Bo And let's not forget his Troy McClure-style nightclub act: "I'm Kim Duk-jin. You may remember me from my Top 20 hit some years ago. . . " He was so funny. I'm glad someone is there to challenge Grandpa's authority. Sometimes that obedience and respect for authority goes too far. Which reminds me. Soju says above that Yoon-sik "says he would do whatever his parents said, since they gave him life." That was in answer to Ji-yeun's question about whether he would abandon his true love if his family didn't want him to marry her, and he says yes. I was really disappointed in him. I do like their family loyalty and how they work on keeping it all together, but that degree of clannishness and lack of independence is unappealing. And it would be so disappointing to hear from the man you wanted to marry. It reminds me of someone I used to know. You want to know that a man is going to be on your side and fight for you at least somewhat, if it comes to that. Otherwise, how could you trust him as a husband? If he sides with his family during marital conflicts, that's going to be a weak marriage.

Ah, yes! The family who wants their child to take their side ALL the time--they still think their kid is a kid to be controlled. The problem is the parents who don't want to let go of control after their son or daughter is married. My old world father-in-law simply cannot believe that he isn't calling the shots in my marriage. And we've been married over 25 years!!! My husband refuses to get into arguments with him,but I've had to "ignore" and/or "overlook" Tata's foolishness for years. I call it the "I, the King Syndrome".

Children are always children to parents. I saw a TV show about ageing a while ago, and they interviewed a woman whose elderly father, who lived with her, had rebuked her for staying out late with her husband. She said, "I just wanted to tell him, 'For crying out loud, Dad, I'm sixty-eight years old!'"

And he should also add "And from such educational short films as Fuzzy Bunny meets Fluffy Bunny and Gladys the Groovy Mule."
