I totally agree ginnycat. Miae only cares for herself. Sonya acts more like a mother to Chan then she does. I hope they get together too.
The actress who plays Miae was also in "To Be With You" and was a bit of a brat in that drama too. She was good in AOW though.

Yeah, I remember how the mom obsessed over Dongji's ring. I started getting annoyed with her from then, there's no looking back now lol. Can't wait till she gets hers.

Yeah, she is obsessed with money, it's pathetic. She's kissing up to grandma while her friend Dongji has to prepare food and wait on her. Instead of being happy for her friend who has been less fortunate than her, she is jealous and wants her ring. She knows Seonjae has someone but she wants to fix him up with Paris Sua so SHE can become more prominent.

I notice that the people in the dramas that I've watched so far get a fever when they're upset/worried... that's weird. Like I've never known or noticed that to happen in real life before.

I know brooklyn. They come down with a fever and wind up going to the hospital. Also there are always love triangles, a grandmother who viciously opposes a relationship (sometimes another family member, ex. a father), two people of different social backgrounds falling in love, the woman being a doormat to get the abusive grandmother to accept her, drinking a glass of water when upset, definitely drinking a lot of alcohol when upset (or not),and last but not least, people ending up with someone we the viewers don't think they should be with. I also wonder if Baekho will end up with his boss. She seems annoyed with him but many times they will get together in the end.

I don't see Dongji as really a doormat. She is downright selfish and thinks only of herself. She wants MIL and Su-a's approval. To get it, she is prepared to throw her son to the sharks! If her husband wants to buy any gift for Baekho or acts fatherly towards him, she is quick to nip it in the bud. And her reason? It would cause more trouble for her!
She makes all kinds of excuses for Su-a, hoping that it would bring them closer together. With MIL, she casts her eyes down but notice that whenever MIL has visitors, Dongji hovers around and has to be told to leave the room! How many times and in how many ways must she be told that she is not acceptable so don't hover around!
But to her brother and son, she is quick to think the worse of them and happily smacks them for any trangressions, deserved or imagined.
Of all the characters on the show, I detest her's the most.

WHAT!!!!!! of all the characters you detest Donji??? WOW that just can't be so because her son and brother always have caused her loses. The show started off with her son losing $5,000 at the race track. The brother lost everything in his business and took money from her to start the business. Those to men may have good hearts but they want the easy way for a lot of things and she knows they want something for nothing but she loves them anyway. They both have to grow up because even baeko is just staying at the job out of spite not because he should work hard at the fathers company. I'm sure as the drama goes along they'll grow up but for now they are causing more drama in an already crazy house with selfish Sua and selfish grandmother. I'm happy the son said well in by his actions at least no way mother will i live like i did 30 years ago. I did it once your way and look how it turned out now i'm going to do it my way.
The detestable characters so far are Sua, her grandmother and Jongsun (mother) they are all really something just down right evil, jealous, angry, selfish, greedy, pitiful women. How could Jongsun hate Jiyoung for having no mother and divorced aunt hello doesn't Sua not have a mother too?
Dongji didn't want to marry her love in the first place because of all the drama she knew she'd have to endure can you imagine being a grown woman bowing down to a child when you've been doing just fine in the world by yourself (and i mean without thier money).
Sua-father said that they both act like they are each others child real parent so baeko is his and sua is dongji that is why she is nice to sua even though she is evil. Dongji just wants to be happy and be at peace with her first love and it would be nice to have that and be with her childish son and brother (not causing drama) but hey would we really watch???

It is also for the reasons you stated Sunshinek that I detest Dongji the most. Yup, I repeat that, I detest Dongji the most! Her brother and son have good hearts and see the way she treats them, compared to the way she treats MIL and Su-a! At the start of the show, she threw her son out of the house when he lost the $5k. Not at a racetrack as you mentioend but to a friend (who works in Bonjour) who ran off with the money. He passed the money to a friend to invest. He went to the racetrack trying to win back $5k. (who knows, we may see the friend returning with the $5K +++ later on!) Then later, when she accepts the proposal, she agrees that her son would not live with them. It was only because he had an accident that he came to live with them.
Her main reason all along for saying no to the proposal was that MIL would not accept her as a DIL. When MIL said yes with all those weird terms, she didn't hesitate to say yes, right?!
Yes, Jong-Sun is envious of her friend and is every bit an opportunist as her son. But I cannot stand the weird martyred expression on Dongji's face when she talks to Jong-Sun. Plus she looks like she's dying to burst out something but is holding back.
Su-a's father did say that he acts like he is Baeko's parent and she acts as if she is Su-a's mother. He said it at one of the instances where she once again talks him out of doing something for Baekho. So I guess he means that in their heart of hearts, they are each other child's parent! I guess in her mind only if Su-a accepts her, then its okay for her husband to be a father to Baeko!

Your assesment, sunshinek, is right on target. I cannot remotely agree with sheila's view. Dongji has had a life of sacrifice for her family. Good hearts don't pay the bills. She has financed her son and her brother's endeavors and lost not just money, but heartfelt good intentions. She's a very dear character.

I'm with you on that, Kathleen! Dongji works very hard trying to help and please everyone, and the Grandma and Sua treat her like a servant and a doormat. They never ever say "please" or "thank you" to her for anything.

Baekho shows very poor character. Of all the "irresponsible" types we've seen on the K-dramas--gamblers, deadbeats, etc.--he is one of the worst, because even when he's given an opportunity, he does nothing but act thoughtlessly and make excuses for himself. He doesn't want to do a good job, he just wants to be a child. Anyone who could walk into the office and eat everything on the table--"Yum, I'm hungry! This food must not have been placed here for any particular reason, like it's work-related (since this is a food company after all) or maybe someone's lunch! Must be for me!"--is an idiot. He shows no humility or willingness to learn. The fact that he decided on his own to take a shortcut shows all the wrong kind of initiative. I do not blame Dongji for any attitude she might have. The people in her life are a disappointment and a burden.

Ditto on that. I hope Dongji gets up the gumption one of these days and stands up for herself. She should take off the "kick me" sign and get it into her head that she deserves respect too. She shouldn't cow tow to MIL and BRAT, and she should treat her son equally while guiding him to become more responsible. Obviously he's very lacking in that area.
