Yes Kfan, television and the movies truly do depict American culture as a bunch of misbehaving, ignorant, spoiled and nasty people, who have no respect for anyone, including themselves. Well, you know, there really ARE some people like that. Not all young or old people are like that but it begs the questions, does art imitate life or does life imitate art? which, to my knowledge, has never been answered I think all media in its quest to get the largest audience, get the highest ratings, MAKE MORE MONEY AT THE BOX OFFICE, take things a bit further than the truth ... even news is reported in a semi-hysterical manner. There is a cultural difference in ALL cultures. Here in American, we have an amalgam of cultures, a little bit of Italian, Polish, German, French, Irish, Scandinavian, Hispanic, African, sorry if I forgot anyone LOL, and we are absorbing various cultural aspects from various Asian countries. Asian foods have been a part of the American food culture for centuries, most notably Chinese foods. That's what our "stew pot" of a country is -- When watching TV or a movie, we should all accept the fact that most probably there is a basis of truth but for the most part it is a highly exaggerated portrayal of real life, no matter what country/culture the media is portraying.

Poor jyeong. seongate crushed her heart and made her look like a fool in front of sua (viper). such an idiot. he should have broken her heart earlier not string her along. i fear that this break up will break jyeongs spirit. hope she recovers.. I think Jiyeong should hand him the vest and wave her hand with the ring on it at Sua, as a counterpart to Sua's possessive gesture of grabbing the big jerk's arm. Then Sua could never claim she didn't know--and Seonjae couldn't deny--that they were engaged.

Kfan, I kind of disagree with you -- I think you described American culture to a "T"

" seonjae's moms shuffle" drives me crazy. i love the way seonjaes dad yelled at his wife about the drama they were watching. mom was upset at one of the characters because she was being mistreated and da tells her how can you be upset at that if it is the same thing you did! it is funny how they just began dating and already the wedding is planned.. seems a little desperate! i am so sick of looking at seonjae. he looks like he is sad about jyeong, but why should he look that way. he threw her out like garbage, with no explanations all for money.. be a man and make the right decision. and when you make it live with it... JERK!!! how do you say jerk in korean?
it is funny how people throw money at the problem and hope it will go away.. when you do that you look like a horrible person.. I LOVE that jyeong gave her the money back and let the witch know that even 10 million would let her forget about jerk!! i loved the mom's face... GO JYEONG!!

Well, he finally told her that he is breaking up with her -- he surely could have been much nicer about it after all the time they've been together and how he led her to believe they would be married. Now after seeing Sua hanging onto his arm and how Sua is there all the time, I hope Jiyeong will cry her tears and do her mourning over the loss of this jerk and then pick up the threads of her life and find some happiness with someone - MUCH BETTER and kinder than Mr. Money-grabber She's better off without him. He seems to still love her in his heart but his head is filled with $$$ ideas and of course MOMMY is reinforcing those ideas at every given moment. She is a very selfish person with no regard for anyone else's feelings but her own. Can't wait until she actually HAS Sua as a DIL - that should be quite interesting. Who will be Sua's "maid" when she becomes part of her husband's family? MIL or SIL???

This drama could do with a bit more cat fighting though lol Jiyeong should have thrown some water on her or something or the envelope with the cash even, just go wild and throw things.

So Seonjae takes Jiyeong for a drive, breaks up with her, and leaves her there to find her own way home!! What a shmuck! It would have been an awkward drive home, but he's a dog for leaving her there. What if she didn't have any bus fare? He needs a beating! What would his father say?

What would his father say? seongae needs a lesson in manners and good moral values.. i wish his dad , sister, baehko and his mom knew how he was behaving and all the double crossing he is doing and hurting . i am sure they would be thinking differently about Sua's boyfriend and give him a good beating... how would Seongae feel if someone did the same thing he did to his sister? i am sure he would have something to say!!! JERK!

I was thinking the same thing Ginny - in fact, it looked like it was in the outskirts of the city and far from any public transportation- Jerk is just too nice a word for this [glow=red,2,300] worm[/glow].

here's what I'd like to see happen to Seonjae and Sua if they marry: as son-in-law, Seonjae gets some kind of super position at Bonjour because that's what he really wants anyway; Baekho marries Danpung; Seonjae and Sua's marriage falls apart and they do that "not signing the official marriage registration paper" thing that means even if you went thru a wedding ceremony, you're divorced; Seonjae messes up or Sua spitefully wants him out of Bonjour so she can take over; Seonjae gets canned; Baekho, as the next son, gets his job; and Seonjae and Sua are out in the cold!

Ooooh Can I play??I would love to see, SJ fall on his butt, get fired at Bonjour, divorced and watch Ji walking arm and arm with some other guy. Of course he will discover that BK is truly Mansu's son but was concealed by Dongji in the Pormisary note. MIL, Sua and Mrs. Na will all die of shame and heartfailure when BK and Danpung marry and inherit the company. Well we can dream can't we?

Of course, we need the demise of Seonjae and Sua . But, I think the writers will make them realize their evil ways and turn them into angels (but I would rather that they fall). Baekho and Danpung will definately end up together, and get high positions in Bonjour Foods, though I can't imaginine that Mansu will give up the company to Bankho, unless of course, they discover that Baekho is his biological son!!!! Sonya and Baekho's uncle will get it together too, and raise Chan in a loving household. Miae will turn from her evil ways, and have frequent visitations with Chan. Jiyeong will meet a fabulous man with a much higher position that Seonjae. And then we'll all be ready for our next K-drama. How's that?
