I bet Minjae is really kicking himself right now for not having left it at “I was with my father.” I guess I can understand Yu-jin’s desperation and exasperation for this whole MJ and HR thing, but as someone had pointed out earlier, I think it was JadeEyes, she was never really mislead into accepting this situation she’s in right now. It’s not like they’ve been married for years and he keeps feeding his “love” for Hye-ran. I honestly think that MJ just thinks of HR as a good friend and is looking out for her because that’s just the kind of guy he is.
LOL with that rice cooker scene! Mijoo’s mom can design and build buildings but she forgets to push the “Start” button on the rice cooker?!?

Yes! The minute he opened his mouth to tell her where he'd been I knew he couldn't leave out the part about Hye-ran. Man, what a maroon. This is a show where no one tells anyone else stuff that's important, and yet Min-jae can't help mentioning every tiny detail of what kept him away from Mal-bong's dinner party. He's just lucky he's so purty. Oh, and boy, Hye-sung didn't bother appreciating all the other work his wife did, puttering around that tiny kitchen in her giant hanbok, did he? He just sits there at the table like a Laughing Buddha, waiting to be brought rice. He is so hilarious! I loved it when he said, "I can't yell at Boss at the office, so I'm going to yell at her all the time at home!" HS, you are so fired!  |

I think Min jae tells everything to Yu jin because he has nothing to hide. He is being totally honest with Yu jin. Yu jin will need time to appreciate the fact that her husband does love her (he just doesn't really realize that himself yet). She is insecure because Min jae hasn't convinced her of his love & his involvement still with Hye ran. But I also believe his feelings for Hye ran are innocent & thinks of her as a good friend. They have known each other for many years. He said he always felt comfortable at her home (when he'd visit Hye sung). Another reason he is still so connected to Hye ran is because she is in love with his brother. Since he lives w/his brother & is involved with Hyun kyu's relationship with Hye ran it is only natural that Min jae is concerned for them BOTH.  |

Yes, it would be nice if Min-jae would explain that side of it to her. Most of what he's done for HK and HR is because Hyun-kyu asked him to and made a direct appeal to his feelings as a brother. MJ seems unable to understand how YJ could interpret his behavior as being all for Hye-ran, but he doesn't offer her the real explanation, just looks hurt and implies she shouldn't feel that way.

That's always MJ's problem. Instead of saying TEXT he really did something (ie because Hk begged him to), he just either says nothing or "I'm sorry". I do understand YJ's insecurities but she's starting to act like some old shrew. Even if he did do this mostly for HR, can't YJ even try to put herself in HR's shoes? What a shock all this has been to her, not to mention to Mr Oh. I always feel so sorry for MJ. He takes the blame for everything and never defends himself. And I must also mention yet again how gorgeous he is...*drools*

It's *always* the right time for that! Mmm. Rrrr. It's funny, sometimes a man looks good in a suit but wrong in other clothes, but Min-jae can pull it all off. (no pun intended; but on second thought, yeah, I do wish he would pull it all off!) I think we all remember how good he looks in his going-to-bed outfit (tee shirt and . . . ?).

I really have to agree with Yu-jin. The business of "You can't resign for me, but you can resign for Hye-ran" said it all. Min-jae hides all this stuff from his wife, only to spill everything when he sould probably keep quiet.
Yu-jin knows that Min-jae didn't marry for love, but Min-jae needs to realize that he has a wonderful wife, smart beautiful, and succsessful, and if he wants to keep her, he'll have to be more upfront with her, not just explaining things afterwards.
But I think even Min-jae doesn't know what his feelings are for Hye-ran now.

I do think also that MJ was very evasive to YJ when he should have been more open , even when he explain to her about not being able to attend her mother's B,D. he still wasn't totally honest with her , leading her to beleive something else "maybe he still cares for HR "?? the guy needs to explain himself better , me thinks..  maggie.. ;D |

Whoosh! What a lively topic! I only saw the preview of this scene so far, but the way Yu-jin kept repeating "Hye-ran" over and over, I got a pretty good idea of what it was about. Personally, I think complete honesty is overrated and usually bungled, anyway. I think there are ways of putting things and other ways of putting them that are easier to take. Also, if you love your wife and she's insecure about it, you probably should take some time each day to tell her what she means to you, even if you are unable to actually say the words, "I love you" (and I think he knows very well that he loves her). Maybe if he asked his WIFE to help with Hye-ran, who after all was on the way to becoming a friend of hers, she might be a little more understanding. He just shuts her out of the whole process. I don't think she has anything to worry about, but I also think he's not making that clear to her.

If you only watch in the morning, you won't find this out 'til Tuesday, but . . . * * * * * * * * * Min-jae's wife will not be any HELP in keeping HR & HK together . . . at least not for the foreseeable future, which, from where I sit, is about a quarter of an episode  |

oh se sang eh ... don't get me started on Korean men. The majority of them make Min Jae look like the best husband in the world.
My dad is really great though. According to my mom, my dad did change some when they moved to the US but he's always been a sweetheart for as long as I can remember. My mom isn't sure why he's so different from so many other men but perhaps it's because he only has us women (my mom, my sister and I) around the house.

I was a little upset when in yesterday's episode, MJ told Yu-jin he loved her (although I wouldn't exactly be thrilled if I was told "I think I love you") and she pretty much just shrugged it off.
I think she's letting this Hye-ran/Hyunku business getting upset her too much. In the end she should know HK is going to do whatever he wants, so why strain her relationship w/her husband?

I think Min Jae never really got the chance to get to know Yu-jin and thats why he said that. I think this is a marriage of convience, to both of them it better then being single.
It will take time to truley show each others love.

It would be great if this show showed a little more intimacy and love in the scences. You never really see anybody hug , kiss or anything. I think that would really spice things up.
But I guess because of Korean culture , its important to show the proper way to do things when it comes to family and relationships.
