He is so troubled with all that is going on . . . and who can blame him? But, could he be REALLY guilty? What was his first wife doing in the middle of the road, anyway? Could he have given his wife a little . . . push? Tae-il would still have left the scene of the accident, but then who realy would have been at fault? Just some idle speculation  |

I don't care how guilty he feels, the way he is treating his poor wife is a crime and he should be ashamed of himself. Hoe dare he act like she's to blame when she has suffered at the hands of his nasty mother for 20 years. He should get down and kiss her feet for putting up with Granny, his angry son and his own moodiness.

I totally agree, Happy Camper, but it's also starting to occur to me that it's very much in character for IH and that we really can't blame him too much. The reason he's in pain and misplacing blame is that he is a stereotypical old-fashioned man, not in touch with his emotions and having very little instinct for interpersonal relations. Look at how he's treated Soon-young all these years: he pined for her all during his first marriage, and when he finally got his chance to marry her, what is that second marriage like? Well, he gets her, installs her in his troubled family home, and leaves her to deal with his mean mom and the two confused and unhappy sons while he commits to work. He gives her 5 minutes every night, and she has to content herself with that. And this goes on for 20 years! Tell me, what was it he wanted to marry her for? Evidently, just to say, "I married [i.e., finally got to 'own'] the woman I loved," and to ignore her thereafter. Way to cherish a woman, In-hwan!
*phew* got that off my chest. And so, you can see how In-hwan is not good with people and has never shown an understanding of human emotions or needs. No surprise that it's biting him in the butt now, nor that he's like a confused wild animal trapped in a china shop and crashing into things as he tries to find a way out.
P.S. Did we all notice Soon-young grabbing her left breast/lymph node area last night just before the phone rang??

Lucy I was going to mention that too. She hasn't been looking too well lately (even Granny noticed) and that's understandable considering what's happening around her. But I wonder if there is really something wrong like heart trouble or the staple of all dramas...cancer. Wouldn't that just make her stupid husband stop and think! I just hope they don't have her die or anything. It would be a crying shame for her to go before things in her family are finally resolved.

>>Tae-il would still have left the scene of the accident, but then who realy would have been at fault?>> Let’s not go too far here, Tae-il is guilty and must bear his cross for being the coward he continues to be. As for Inhwan I guess his conscience is catching up to him now, all the stuff he tried to suppress, like how “miserable” he made HK’s mom (although isn’t her case similar to Yu-jin’s (except that MJ loves YJ)? Surely she must have known that her husband didn’t love her.) But like everyone has already said, she is dead, there is nothing he can do for her now, so why must he make his present wife equally miserable? To this respect, maybe he’s not too much better than Tae-il, always making their wives suffer for not standing up when necessary (because living w/that mother of his is just a big a punishment as everything Keum-ja has gone through). I hope Soon-young stands up to her husband just as she did to her mother in law and say something like “If you’re so bothered by your conscience and regret marrying me so much, I’ll leave (with a nice little check coming my way every month, of course  ).” Maybe that’ll snap him out of this “victim/victimizer” stage he’s going through. I can totally see it now, SY w/undetected cancer--the only reason HK comes back from Dae-go, IH says he's sorry, Grandma finally realizes how valuable she is and everything soon falls nicely into place.  |

Golly, it seems that In-huan's and Tae-il's only purpose on this earth is to ruin the lives of the women in their family! Let's look at their scorecard:
In-huan:
*Destroyed Hyun-kyu's mother's life by marrying her while pining for another woman.
*Destroyed his own Mother's life by marrying the maid's daughter.
*Destroyed Soon-young's life by subjecting her to the abuse of his nasty mama, and forcing her to neglect her son's feelings.
*Destroyed Hye-ran's life by refusing to let her marry the man she loves.
*Turned EARH (Evil Aunt Rainbow Hussy) into a bitter and vindictive woman.
Now for Tae-il:
*Left his wife to pay his debts and raise 2 children on her own, even after he was released from prison.
*Ruined his daughter's career, and her chances at marrying the man she loves, by mowing over her boss's/father-in-law's wife.
*Turned EARH (Evil Aunt Rainbow Hussy) into a bitter and vindictive woman.
If anyone should flee Seoul for Daegu, it's these guys!

Hey, wait a sec--they BOTH turned the Hussy into what she is today?  I know you must be foolin'. I think even Gandhi could have "turned" RH into a bitter and vindictive woman. My guess is that she probably even hated her sister, whom she now officially loves and misses like her right arm, when she was alive. |

How can they keep blaming IH for his 1st wife's unhappiness. EVERYONE knew she wasn't his choice-the- love- of -this- life, BUT they wouldn't let him marry SY. NOw, in keeping with the whole family honor and keeping nothing for yourself (it seems that in these dramas the younger have to live for the elders and you don't get what you want until you're old-does that make sense?) IH marries the woman of his FAMILY'S choice. I think that in his heart he didn't love her like SY but I don't think that he would have had an affair. He probably didn't shower her with love & affection but didn't everyone know that from the get-go? I can understand 1st wife's pain but come on people. Oh, and yes, didn't grandma say something along time ago that if it we're for help from her 1st in-laws they there would have been trouble in Joyland 30 years ago?
I was troubled by the things he (IH) said to HK too. "Don't be like me" What is he thinking >:(If anything, HK SHOULD marry his first love and avoid the pain and suffering of so many. But of course if this were so, where would all the drama be?
Can you tell I love a "happily ever after" ending!

Why do I get the feeling that if RH is this horrible, her sister must have been just as bad as her? No wonder IW couldn't wait to get married to the woman he loved -- think of how horrid RH's sister must have been -- probably two peas in a pod, like the evil step-sisters in Cindarella!!  Kathy |

I see a point in your comment, Kathy, but I think I also recall Malbong saying RH didnt used to be like this. MB said RH seems like a completely different person now. I think Yu Jin had a similar thought also. Maybe RH just turned bitter and vindictive after her sister's tragic death...?

In one episode when Yu-jin's Mom, Mrs. Suh went to pay RH a visit in her office, she was taken back by her vindictiveness, and on her way out, remarked to herself "she (RH) never used to be like this until she came back from America." I wonder, so what exactly happened to her in the States? Did she get on a non-carb diet when she was here, coz that will suck all the joy right outa ya, even Oprah said so! ;D |

I was wondering when this might be brought up--I happened to see it Thursday (Friday?) night (just that part). It looks like the classic deus ex for Korean soaps here--someone gets cancer, everything gets tied together. How tiresome. Bo |
