Ki-joon should have just stayed at IY's house for the night. Maybe he could have called his aunt to leave a message for SM. They are married, if SM locks out IY frivolously, he goes where she goes. And why didn't KJ relieve IY's worries by telling her he upset SM with his decision to move out? I wish Jin-ah would get into her own trouble. She needs that new car. I still am not able to login. Also it would be fun to stick in those funny faces, but I don't know how-can ayone help?

It used to say Welcome, Ginnycat. Now it just says welcome guest. So now I put a box on the wide-eyed guy, maybe it will work, but where will it show up?

When Screechy Mama (I like that variation, Soapygrams--sounds like Hoochy Mama) collapsed and was in the hospital, I actually said to her, "Good, I hope you die." Isn't that horrible of me? But she frustrates me so much and she's so self-centered that I don't think there's any way to reach her, so she might as well drop dead as far as I'm concerned. She is nothing but trouble for everyone else and contributes nothing to anyone's happiness. I can't believe Ki-joon, as usual. What he's doing for In-young is the bare minimum. "Try to understand that she's not like other mothers." HMPH! No, she's not; she's an egomaniacal monster. She actually believes that "this" (making IY have a baby immediately and treating her like a brood mare by dragging her off to have her checked out and primed with medicines) is the first thing she's asked her to do. When of course their marriage has been nothing but appeasing her from the word go. arrrrrggggghhh.

I actually said to her, "Good, I hope you die." Isn't that horrible of me? I thought the exact same thing. I think everyone probably felt the same way. I was hoping that Ki-joon would actually say that to her.

Thanks, Soju, my login worked. I chose forever, but I don't remember having to click on that before. ( Decisions are tough.) In the message icon pull-down thingy, there are 6 smiley-type faces that are easy to use. In the Add smilies row, there are 16 faces that some writers put in the middle of their message-how do they do that? All I've done is put a blue box on one , but they don't drag into my message.

Hey Lucy, MIL sounds like a screech owl on steroids so that's why I thought of Schreechy Mama . LOL I can't help wondering if there is any real MIL like her anywhere in the world? course if it were in the USA, the couple probably wouldn't be living in the same house with her, which would alleviate some of the problem. But to me Ki joon is so self-centered and selfish to expect his wife to keep on taking this abuse. And In young needs to start being honest with him. She is not happy and you can plainly see that on her face. What will it take for her to finally get out of Hell House? aigii.... I'd have been gone long ago after telling that #$%^& person what I thought. Good thing I'm not Korean; I sure would not have ever been married LOL ... I sure hope that this K-drama is a wild exaggeration of how even Evil MILs treat their DILs.

You know, it's been floating around in my mind and I've hesitated to say it, but Ki-joon (or the actor who plays him) does not seem very heterosexual to me. The way he embraces In-young is exactly the same way he (the actor) embraced Hye-ran in "One Million Roses." He rolls his eyes, looks off into the distance, holds her by the arms, and draws her in, looking over her shoulder and holding her stiffly. It's as though he doesn't have any desire to touch her at all. I know these soaps are very clean and circumspect, but this is ridiculous. He acts like girls are icky, even though he's spent most of his time so far supposedly dying of love for her. The lack of any hint of sexuality between married couples in the daily dramas gives me the creeps, like when In-young was giggling like a schoolgirl every time he would give her a dry kiss on the cheek. Compare Goeun and Hyun-sik in "Who's My Love?" There is no overt sexuality there, but you do get the sense that they are physically and emotionally close, as they should be. There was one scene where they were in the bedroom, and Hyun-sik made a move to hold her. A look passed between them that made HS say, "No, not now, I have to go to work!" And Goeun looked humorously disappointed. It was funny, honest, and very normal for a married couple. But these daily dramas are so prissy and antiseptic, and it's one of the things that make us have no feeling that these couples are actually in love. It's like the writers are writing G-rated Harlequin Romances (redundant) and then dipping them in Clorox before they show them to us. But anyway, Ki-joon takes the cake. My feeling is that the actor either dislikes his leading ladies, doesn't like girls, or is cold-hearted in real life. Can I read into things, or what?

lol lucy... i mean, he doesn't seem to embrace his leading ladies quite comfortably, is that a good word to use, but i don't think he's any less of a heterosexual. maybe he's just uncomfortable with doing all of that on the screen... maybe he's METROsexual! lol

Well, I have no way of knowing for sure, but that's the way his behavior translates to the screen for me! I feel that an actor who is uncomfortable simply giving his leading lady a hug that would appear to express his character's affection is an unsuccessful actor. I am one of those ladies who likes the metrosexual thing--it's really just a guy who cares about how he looks and presents himself, not really to do with sexuality per se.

Well . . . . maybe I missed the mark saying he doesn't like the ladies. Maybe it's mostly that he's not a very good actor. Ki-joo is so much like Hyun-kyu (his character in OMR) that that opinion does hold water, I guess. About his grabbing and kissing them, though--the way they kiss (and the way he kisses) is also ridiculous. It's like those magnetic kissing bears they sell at Hallmark--they face each other, put their tight lips against each other, and just stand there. To wit: the beach honeymoon scene a couple of weeks ago. Not very romantic!

;Maybe that's why I'm having a really hard time believing that In young is soooo in love with Ki joon. Neither one of them looks all that enthusiastic when hugging He does seem uncomfortable with close physical contact. Not so LCH, Jae min [Min jae OMR]. When he was hugging his wife you could see the love and pain on his face. Guess he's just a much better actor than KSS or he gets into his character more realistically. Or...maybe it's just that I don't LIKE Ki joon so I have a negative reaction to his acting??? LOL I am trying to be fair.
