i had a crazy thought...

[bettyboop]

i have no idea how this drama is going to end but i had a crazy idea while watching yesterday's episode when sunmi was talking to kijoon. kijoon manages to get the divorce out of heejoo but IY still marries JM because she can't deal with KJ and his whacked out mothe and somehow she does love JM. KJ and sunmi end up together b/c sunmi supports KJ thru all his heartbreak and blahblah. lol i have no idea how this popped up into my head. it just did. lol ;D

[ladyday]

if you want to know the real ending read the spoilers.

[Teresa]

I have to admit, this drama has me vassilating between vaulting to the sofa as soon as the theme song starts to my wanting to throw a shoe at the T.V. and yell, "Get on with it!" I'm not sure how this ends, but my fantasy is Kijoon's mother eating crow at one of those restaurants and then scrubbing Inyoung's floors for her when she's seven months pregnant. Oh, and Inyoung's feet propped up on her back to ease swollen ankles. Is that too mean?

[Lovely]

How about Hee-joo marrying that annoying co-worker of In-young's?

[kathleen34]

Lovely ... what a great idea. The babies produced would maike MIL wish she never even thought of being a grandmother!

... and WHAT in the world was last nite? it seemed so chopped up with story lines jumping all over the place ...

[TheBo]

Betty Boop, that's a MARVELOUS idea. Except, you know, poor Sunmi get the short end, but maybe SMIL is so beaten down by that time she just sits muttering in a corner and playing with Bo-bae, out of the way. And ladyday, LOL, I think she WOULD HAVE visited the spoilers if she wanted to know the "real" ending. We like our endings better. Teresa is not too mean, she's too nice. SMIL doesn't deserve such happiness, LOL.

Kathleen, did you see Soju's thread about last night's episode? He tries to tell you what happened, and there are other people filling in the blanks. But if Lovely's idea were carried out, they wouldn't be SMIL's grandbabies, they'd be Hee-joo's mom's grandbabies, and she surely does not deserve such a fate, LOL. Well, except for letting Hee-joo grow up to be such a disrespectful brat.

Bo is onto something! New fantasy ending: Kijoon has had enough and decides to sell the Sports Center to the annoying guy in Jae-min's company. He then gives his life completely over and goes to the same temple as Yi Soon Shin's brother (O.K., I'm crossing eras and dramas, but it's a fantasy). This means MIL now has to go to work at chopping vegetables for the overly dramatic woman in Inchul's ramen noodle restaurant. Heejoo, who has been late or absent from work one to many times for all her trips to the river, is given one last chance to redeem herself -- she has to produce a coffee table book on the exhibits at her museum. This means she has to employ Jae-min's publishing company and meet everyday with the annoying salesguy. Annoying salesguy falls in love with Heejoo who has his mother hound the daylights out of her to marry him and he threatens to throw himself into the river if she doesn't. Bobae has had enough of all of them, especially having to be carried around all the time and not being allowed to walk on her own. So she sneaks away and lives with Aunt, Grandfather, Mijung and Inchul. But she has her eye on someone... Himchan!

[Teresa]

Oops. I have my annoying salesguy in too many businesses. Oh well... he's energetic!

[TheBo]

Oh, Teresa, LOL. You really MUST get a life, my dear. We all need one. It is to laugh.

Oh! I know! You could be a Korean scriptwriter! Deh! HIM-CHAN! BIC-TORY!

[Lucy]

Teresa, those scenarios are genius. LOL. Did you see the episode where Crazy Sales Guy's mother comes to the office and refers to him as "Bug Eyes"? I thought that was hilarious. Seeing his mother, and seeing him be sweet to her, makes him easier to take somehow. He is an actual human being with a real live mother and wasn't hatched from a dinosaur egg.

[Teresa]

Yes Lucy! I did see "Bug Eyes" mother (it was very sweet how much they love one another). Which is why I thought it would be particularly delightful to have HeeJoo move in with her new southern farming mother-in-law (she'd lose that uptown "I don't do dishes" attitude right quick!). I think scenes of her new mother-in-law with her mother would be hilarious.

Bo, I think I am rapidly swirling into the "Korean Wave," as they call it. I don't know if I'm on a kick or in a stage. Are there stages to the K-wave? LOL. I just can't take the volume of vulgarity on regular American shows anymore.

[Lucy]

Teresa, I know what you mean. After watching K-dramas for a year (it's been over 2 years now), I started thinking that people on American TV were so promiscuous, and it seemed off-putting. And I'm not a very moralistic person--I don't get offended or look down on people regarding their sex lives, etc. It just started seeming that American TV relies on sex-related plots too much, y'know? In its place it's interesting, but not every character, all the time. LOL I think my brain chemistry has changed from all this respect-for-parents-and-societal-norms business. ;D

Are you fairly new to K-dramas, Teresa?

[Raven]

LOL that will be awesome. Bug eyed big mouth and annoying laugh kids with a hint of sad face and limp smiles ;D what a wreck of a child poor thing.

[Teresa]

Lucy, I happened upon Age of Warriors a while back and got hooked. Loved it. I tried watching (I think it was My Yellow Handkerchief) and even though I liked that everyone wasn't just hopping into bed with each other, I felt a bit like I was in a hamster wheel trying to follow the plot. I agree with you, it's more an annoyance with lazy show development that I have than a moral call regarding sexual content, although after awhile it just feels like it's too much "who is sleeping with who." And I do think it's refreshing that parents/older people aren't portrayed as the stupid ones against their know-it-all American kids.
