Hi Everyone! Due to my work hours changing a bit, I have now been able to catch a few episodes of "Sweetheart". My question is...should I continue watching this drama or is it coming to an end soon and I should just wait for the next one to start??

I don't think "Sweetheart" will be ending soon. There's some real episodes to come in my opinion.
First of all, Ki-joon is looking into an apartment that he wants for him and In-young so that they can have some peace. I think he realizes that he needs to move quickly before In-young becomes so distraught and unhappy that their marriage may end in divorce. The prospect of widowed Jae-min, with a child, is always a possibility for the young, ambitious In-young who is looking for meaning in life. She may very well fall in love with him and his son while finding that life is far less complicated with Ki-joon's family. Also, In-young will be able to work.
I think Ok-ja will become pregnant before In-young. Ok-jin will become very upset and angry that she has a nephew or niece before having a granchild. She will not treat Ok-ja and her husband very well.
I think Jin-ah and In-chul will come together, be it a stormy relationship where SM will demand of In-young that her brother does everything to make her daughter happy. It will reflect the impossible relationship between her son and Hee-joo. But SM will do anything to make her daughter happy even if it's not in her plans for her daughter Jin-ah.
I still think there's something brewing between In-young's grandfather who seems to have an interest in his son-in-law's sister which is In-young's aunt. They're always arguing over their plants in the garden ,who will go to market, or what to have for dinner, but I think grandfather is interested in Aunt.
I think Ki-joon and In-young will eventually move away from SM. Hee-joo will continue to haunt Ki-joon as his wife finds more in common with Jae-min. Who knows, but In-young may find real happiness with Jae-min as Ki-joon finds more acceptance with Hee-joo who his SM will accept.

IY is a work-driven woman. it makes her feel significant, and as much as her husband supports her on the issue, i do think that she feels suffocated by her inability to do what she loves...

I think KJ is selfish in not trying to help IY fulfill her dream as a designer of some sorts. Knowing how happy he saw his wife at JM's party, I would think he would try harder to convince his mother, especially when he sees her being mistreated. so heartless to sit there at the dinner table and not even defend her. I guess that's how Korean customs are, they just bite their tongues when being abused. What a life?

On another board there was a discussion about how the divorce rate in Korea was soaring .. most people blamed living with the in-laws as the reason for many of the break-ups. So now, according to some of the Korean people who are members of that board, many young couples opt to live on their own rather than with the parents. If there truly are MILs as mean and petty as Screechy Mama, I can surely understand how that abuse would engender a break-up. I don't know ANY woman who would take that abuse and then tell her husband ... no, I don't want to move out. It's just not a real reaction. Just my POV though. I'd have been gone the first time that harpie screamed at me. LOL ;D

you're right Toku... better or WORSE aren't just poetic ideas or words... they're vows. The problem comes in when one is able to forgive but the other doesn't feel forgiveness is necessary since nothing that's happening is wrong. Been there, done that.
on to another possibility with MS... do we think after last evening's episode that there's a baby on the way. MIL would be elated and forever changed , providing of course that it was a boy.... but if it's a girl this could easily drag on for 120 more episodes.

In young shouldn't have to just suck it up. Just bcuz SM is her MIL, she shouldn't get to walk all over her . IY didn't do anythhing wrong, yet she is expected to act humble and listen to screaming abuse as if IY has something to atone for. I would have boiled over at the first unjust attack. (hand gesture here) Justice for all is a good ideal. I want payback, sometime soon. (ok, that's not ideal, is it?)

(ok, that's not ideal, is it?) why can't we see a dog-match between sm and iy. or shall i say cat-fight. oh! no, we'll leave the cat-fight to iy and ja; or iy and hj. lol it would be nice to see iy tell her mil off at some point.
