missing part in esp. 154

[humble]

Did anyone notice that they left the whole part out when sang-min father got in to ji-mins house. I think they will show it in the tuesday morning esp. I think that guy should stop harssing ji-min and go and check up on his own son.

Hi Humble,
Yeah I noticed that too. I hope they show it tomarrow morning. I agree he should just leave them alone.

I was furious when I saw that this happened. If they had to cut anything for time, why not eliminate the long scene of Young-man and Han-soon having the memorial ritual for his parents he never knew who may or may not be dead? It wasn't particularly interesting and was certainly expendable compared to the action of Woon-kyu getting to the house, which is part of the major storyline.

They seem to always do the cutting around the commercial interruption. You would think a little more thought would go into it than that.

I can't believe this, but my recording this morning didn't work right and when I checked to see what it was doing, I saw it wasn't recording and I turned on the set...just at that moment, WK was getting buzzed in to Grandma Sohn's house and GS was on the phone w/ JY and then JY went dashing out the door. Next, YJ is seen running to his car.

The scene returns to GS's house and WK is sitting in a chair and GS is telling him he has no right to do this, barging into people's home (why was he let in? Unfortunately, I didn't see, so I have no idea why) and WK uses the outrageous defense that he went to the preschool to catch JM outside before going in, but that JM never showed up so WK had no choice but to come to the house. Yeah, WK, right...that's so much better, ambushing the kid outside the preschool!

Just then, JM is peeking around a corner of a doorway and WK spots him. WK calls JM over and GS gets very flustered but doesn't do a thing to stop any of it. She waits until WK tells JM that he's his grandfather and that his own father is alive before calling to the housekeeper to take JM away. The rest was shown the night before.

WK is behaving like a big jerk, but I'm impatient with JY and YJ in their usual passiveness. It wasn't until yesterday JY even mentioned to WK that she would call the police or get a restraining order out against him, which is what she should've done weeks ago. YJ comes in and cranks out the same old song about how SM told them to raise Ji-min well and they will. When will they get it through their heads that it's a waste of time to try reasoning w/ WK and use arguments against him concerning what's best for JM? It's obvious this isn't going to work w/ this guy...he won't listen and is determined to do what he wants w/ no regard for anyone's feelings.

He lapsed into criminal type behavior w/ the stalking and unwanted intrusions and contact w/ JM weeks ago. By now, they should have filed a complaint with the police and sought a restraining order. Keeping the boy home from preschool to avoid him seeing WK is absurd. School is good for him, he has freinds there and seems to enjoy it. Most importantly, WK knows where they live and it was obvious he would go to their house if he couldn't find JM at school.

The way to deal w/ this guy isn't by persistent reasoning or changing their lives and denying their child the enjoyment and stimulation of preschool. It's to make him understand there are serious consequences for criminal behavior. When people are determined to be victims, it's very difficult to do anything to help them. And it's hard to stay sympathetic.

I am bugged though about not getting the whole ep. taped this morning. The other scenes cut out probably included WK going to the preschool, as he alluded to it, but I didn't see it. Also, I have no idea why the housekeeper would've buzzed WK in. This is another example of unwise behavior for the sole purpose of creating dramatic tension.

Jade, thanks for filling us in on the missing scene. I know they repeat the night’s episode of YH the following morning, which I never get to see because of work, and I don’t bother to tape because I’m thinking it’s exactly what we saw the night before. I have to say, I don’t get why they would do different editing for the same episode. Is it because there are different commercials or programs shown in the mornings, which take up less time, thereby allowing more YH viewing time?

This is one of the major reasons why I am actually becoming glad that YH is coming to an end, the series itself is beautifully directed and superbly acted, but there is only so much you can take before the same problems become annoying. JY FINALLY yells at WK to get out of her house and stop meddling in her life, if I was her I would have already hired someone from the "Bodyguard" series to keep this guy away from me. Can be so stubborn/stupid sometimes.

I'm becoming more interested in the MJ/SM storyline. Another scene they could have cut out was the MR and TY fighting over kalbi, since I thought that the scene where MR's dad is crying was so . He's a great actor. I think I said this before, but he is so far away from the character he used to play (Mr. Cha) who I don't even remember smiling once during the series.
