Mireong, don't you ever watch K. Dramas? Don't you know someone ALWAYS runs off with the money? And you just know how Minsu will react when he finds out! For God's sake, DON'T DO IT!!!

I thought that too. Can you imagine if Miryeong and Chilnam were married?

Can you imagine if Miryeong and Chilnam were married? The marriage might work very well.There's plenty of room for warm hearted people like them in our world,don't you think? They have to have jobs that suit their characters,that's all.Like ones where hard-work,loyalty and caring for people or being thoughtful of others are most important,rather than initiative,shrewdness and intelligence.Then being naive and not being good at saving money won't be a problem.

You're so right Soju... these people should spend more time watching Korean Dramas. How can mom and daughter think this is such a great idea. Essentially sweet and accommodating (to a fault) Mireong could be a potential Loan Shark ... she could hire CrazyAunt as a partner.

Miryeung's mother got her money back and put it in a loan club? O-kaaay..... If that's her decision... But why put all the family's money in one basket? No, No, NO!!

"Hello, Ms. Yu? My name is Bernie Madoff and I can get you a great return if you'll invest with me." Ohhhh, I can't bear to watch. (I think 2% per month is right around what Madoff promised!)
Seriously, are we really supposed to believe that Miryeong is just going to casually dump all her money into something she just heard about without checking into it? Especially after seeing her mom JUST get burned? Seems like a bad piece of writing to me. She's no rocket scientist but still, that's implausibly foolish for her.

Yes, she hasn't even done the money job for one month, to pay bills, etc. How can she jump into an investment already?? It isn't just her mother's experiences, d :Poesn't she know about her uncle's money problems either?

What about the money mismanagement and insurance fraud that Minsu got involved in??

OK, since we're all wise to this, let's hope that Miryeong wises up, too. Then again, I think of the time yours truly was taken by a con artist. By the time I wised up, it was too late. Just a couple of months later, I saw an attempt at the exact same scam depicted on "Hill Street Blues"; Dennis Franz just brushes the guy aside, and says "Get outta here!" I thought, "I wishe they'd run this ep before that time. . ."

Miryeong agreed to the "loan club" pretty fast just like she handed over $3000 was it, to the "model agent" for her pictures.
I like her. She seems to be the perfect wife, mother, daughter, DIL, but she's a little light upstairs.

I'm curious to see how her character will develop as the show goes on (only another month or so).
They have to have Minsu stop being so uptight, don't they? Then Miryeong could blossom. I don't think she's really dim; rather, just a little too innocent and trusting,
I don't want to see her get all hard-boiled and cynical, of course!

Miryeong is sometimes bold with Gangster Aunt. She looks pleased with herself after she says something that stymies GA. Isn't GA awful!! "Are you talking back to me?" "No, my goddess, I wouldn't dare presume to have a conversation with you. I would only echo whatever you say, because you must not be angered." ;D
