I'm so happy that In-young told Ki-joon that she was leaving for herself, not for him. There's no reason she should have to endure that abuse. If she would have lied and said, "I don't want to take you away from your mother" he wouldn't give up. I hope he doesn't still try to persue her, that would be so selfish! I wish she didn't meet his mom, though. She should have told her to leave her alone and stay out of her life, she has no reason to speak to her ever again.
I'm also glad that what's-her-name, Mi-something (the camp follower), told In-chul off in the cafeteria. "I just need to avoid men like you," it looked like he realized how skanky his behavior was. She really put him in his place.

Oooh, Jenny, I don't think it's fair to call her a camp follower. I don't think she is an actual prostitute, just a foolish girl who got mad at someone she thought was going to be her boyfriend. I don't think they even had "relations" (LOL), she just lied about that.

And they most definitely had relations, she just lied about the pregnancy and abortion.

Poor Jenny, you weren't the first to use the term. I didn't speak up about the slight misuse of the term, which can mean a prostitute, though I think of it as more of a "groupie" thing. I just looked the term up in the dictionary (Merriam-Webster's Collegiate, 11th ed.), and it says it's someone who follows the troops to attend or exploit them, with the example of a prostitute.
P.S. Did she lie about an abortion, too? I missed that part; thought she supposedly was pregnant and showed up to get his support (I thought that was her story).

I thought she had NOT had relations with him, he adamantly denied it to his family and to In-young's friend. (How else would her claim be "impossible"?) Did I miss something? I thought when he discussed it with Mi-jung (is that her name?), they made it clear that nothing physical happened between them.
Webster's notwithstanding, the commonly accepted meaning of "camp follower" is prostitute. I just don't think we should be so flippant with such a term (sorry Jenny for jumping on you). I don't think the girl was trying to exploit anyone, whether or not they slept together. She liked Brat-boy, she was mad at him for just taking off on her when she thought he was her boyfriend. Whatever happened between them, it seems clear that he misled her and then tried to blow her off.

When In-chul was leaving the army camp and Meejung (?) said she may be pregnant, didn't he say "Man, I can't be that unlucky!" Which would mean they had had relations.

I'm common, and I don't accept it. Jenny didn't mean it that way, anyway, so she couldn't have been being flippant.

p.s. A camp follower is also someone who follows the troops to do business with them, like in M*A*S*H, with the people who did their laundry, etc.

Or groopie. Ginnycat's right, in the first episode In-chul said "Why would you need to contact me" when Mi-notacampfollower said "What if I'm pregnant?" IC got mad, and she said if she were she'd take care of it. As for the abortion, I thought she told IC's family that she was pregnant, but took care of it. I figured he denied it because he used protection or something. You have to be careful when you're messing with those camp followers. Thanks for coming to my defense, Luce!

You're quite welcome, Jenny.
Now, about whatever-her-name-is (I really can't remember), why was she acting so weird to In-chul in the cafeteria yesterday? All of a sudden she's mad at him again? I feel as though I must have missed something.

She is Koh Mi-jung, played by Yang Mi-ra. Boy, the character chart I printed up sure does come in handy!
I have seen her refered to as 'Camp follower' on one of the other K-drama boards.
Have you noticed how tall she is? I thought it amusing tonight when she told Aunt (or should I say Young-soon) "Who are you calling little? I'm bigger than you!"

Well Inchul is always being so mean and nasty to her, why should she be nice to him? Anyway, I thought it was funny how Inchul was getting jealous when his co-worker was saying how cute Mijung was.
p.s. how many people does it take to stock on aisle. And why does it take two grown men to stock fruit juices?

Ach! I forgot about the conversations they had at the train station about "what if I'm pregnant." I guess if he didn't say, "What? By kissing?" then, it's probable something more happened, LOL. The official number it takes to stock juice is, in fact, two. One to put the juice on the shelves, the other to stand in the way of customers (complaining about the management), and stare vacantly at them if they say, "Excuse me." Aww, Lucy, you're not that common.... Bo

Aww, Lucy, you're not that common.... Bo No winkie necessary, Bo--that's how I meant it, too. About the juice boys, your analysis is correct according to the Korean Juice Stockboys' Union, but don't forget that the additional duty of commenting on the attractiveness of the Female Canned-Goods Polishers' and Stackers' Union members also falls to the second stockboy. No featherbedding here! Everyone pulls multiple duties. Luce.

I'm watching so many dramas I can't keep everyone's names straight! I have seen her refered to as 'Camp follower' on one of the other K-drama boards. She's developed quite a reputation. (I'm just kidding! I'm just kidding! Please don't hurt me! ) I really like Mi-jung. It takes a lot of guts to move to a big city all alone with no job, home, or friends except for a skeezer ex-boyfriend who was only using her.
