I feel sorry for the father, he is now left alone in a house of crazy women and his son-in-law who he really respected is gone. I think though that he is happy that Sanghyen was smart enough to leave before he was trapped there forever.

I wonder if he will do something for himself now, or if he thinks it's too late. Did he say that his family has written him off? They must be pretty offended after years of neglect. But it's too bad that he's alone. These dramas don't usually add family members to the cast tho, so I won't hold my breath waiting for his siblings to show up.

I hope Eunju's mom does get a sudden burst of realization and comes to understand that she can't always make things perfect like she would like to. And that she needs to let her children make their own mistakes and to allow them to grow and learn from them. If she continues to meddle in everyone's business, I fear that no one in that house will be allowed to be happy. What she deludes herself in believing is happiness is far from the truth.

You're absolutely right, BAE.I have always loved the actress that plays Eunju's mom, (and I've seen her in many dramas) but in this one she is dead wrong. Even though she is the cause of most of this family's problems, I still feel kinda sorry for her. Obviously she has felt unhappy and inferior in her marriage and maybe before that too. She's made her children completely dependent on her in order to feel needed and important. She's alienated her husband to the point that he is almost a stranger. I think a part of her realizes she is wrong and that she's harming her daughters by not letting them solve their own problems, but she iseems unable to break out of her self-imposed role of super mom. At least her husband has been making comments lately that indicate his view on the current situation. Hopefully she'll take some of it to heart before it's too late for anyone in her family to be happy.

He is also to blame for letting things get out of hand like this.

Hopefully she'll take some of it to heart before it's too late for anyone in her family to be happy. I have loved the actress in every role she's ever portrayed BUT this one! Kim Ja Ok is one talented lady that's for sure. But, her character on the other hand seems to have only one talent: ruining the lives of those she claims to love. If she really wanted what was best for her daughter, she wouldn't have pushed either her former SIL nor Eunju to such extremes. It wasn't even her place to tell Sang-hyun that they can't move out. Eunju will learn to compromise with time. I just am so frustrated with the mother. She wants to control everyone around her; Eunha was right! But, hopefully, everyone will soon realize that they're being manipulated by her. The father is nice and kind-hearted but very weak. He is also to blame for letting things get out of hand like this. While this is true, I don't think that he can win his wife. I think he just gave up but thought when Eunju got married, that things would get much better. Since they're not, hopefully he will interject his own opinions and let his wife know what he thinks of her "Super Mom" role.

She's so awful and confusing. Or confused? Calling her husband sly because he answers her questions? I'm confused myself. It was funny that he choked on his lunch when she said they should sleep together. And he likes things the way they are. Or maybe he was just surprised and should have taken time to think it over.

This woman is still a bundle of contradictions. Aigu! She goads her husband with her complaints, then when he reacts, she scolds him for trying to change things, for being insincere, for not being...who?...--what does she want?? Then she smiles or he smiles-sheesh, am I taking it more seriously than they are?

I really don't mind her at all. Her problems were brought on by a accumulation of neglect from her husband early on in their marriage, if I remember their psychologist right. She has control issues for sure, but her misguided sense of self worth has made her overprotect and spoil both her daughters and distance herself further and further from hubby. I see her as very sad, and not unbelievable. Nowhere near the nasty Nara from BB, or even Junho's Mom from Happy?? Woman. I think she plays her part well. And much more interesting to me than she was as the MIL on Invisible Mr. Choi, if indeed that was her. If tradition holds, she'll have a transformation near the ending and live happily ever after… or not.

I see her as very sad, and not unbelievable. IIRC, she's the one who caused the problems, because she thought she and her family were better than her husband and his family, because she was rich. She refused to go to his family's festivals or memorial services and just sent money. She looked down on them, and I think she ruined the closeness they felt at the beginning. (They couldn't resist each other and didn't consider how well they meshed, I think. Like Sanghyeon and Eunja.)

ginnycat5, I missed a ton of episodes in the beginning, so I didn't know about her background/attitude. That does put her in a different light, but I still don't see her as evil. Also very interesting about the parallel attraction between her and her husband and Eunju/Sanghyeon. I didn't know about that part either…

Now she's finally realized how she may have warped her daughters' view of marriage. Yesterday to Sanghyeong, "I'm not doing this because I like you but I think I should accept you as son-in-law for the sake of the baby." Well, whoop-de-do, that must make him really want to step up and pretend to belong to this family. (What's the emoticon for sticking your finger into your throat?) Today she was at least thankful, I think. Now his mother's going to give them fits.
