Ha! It seems her plans for making everyone miserable are failing.
One thing I've got to admire about her is that forget honorifics w/this woman, she will tell you exactly what is on her mind.
While others would have just said "Good day" and exit with a bow, she called In-hwan a jerk and let him have it.
Villian? Yes. Anybody's fool? Never.

Goodness did y'all see the outfit she had on when HR & HK went to go drop off their wedding invitation? HORRIBLE!  She should fire her personal shopper for having her wear that horrible 80s-victorian-shoulder pad having-UGLY ensemble. |

Somewhere out there is a fashion designer who is watching this show and taking notes....Who knows, Myung-joo's outfits might be the Look of 2005...  |

I don't know, I think you have to admire her for sticking to her convictions. (I watched this scene this morning.) After all, In-huan only lost a wife he did not love very much, and has since recovered his lost love, so he's okay, really, no matter how embarrassed he may be about the situation. Grannie's only real concern has been HK the whole time; if he's happy, she is. HK and HR are obviously going to think whatever they do for love is fine. EA's the only one carrying a torch for her sister and, oddly enough, Tae-il understands her completely. She honestly believes this marriage is wrong for every reason under the sun. They should not be pushing her into accepting it. It's one of the things I find puzzling about the situation. Can't they leave her alone, "understand" her? She's still in pain, even if she's the one keeping it alive.

I see the end of this drama where everyone but our "Evil One" will be happy. I just don't see her changing her ways. Hope see wears a longer skirt so the tail doesn't show when she heads back to the States, and its between her legs.
Her future revenge plots would make a good spinoff for this drama

Bo, you're right about her attitude concerning HK and HR, but rather than just being a pain, she is determined to drive the Oh family out of Joyland. There's a line between being hurt and upset, and being vindictive, and Myoung-joo crossed it long ago.
I was tip-toeing around the SoCal board the other day (trying hard not to get "spoiled"), and it seems the Joyland issue will ratchet up in the near future.

Just because you are causing your own pain doesn't mean it isn't real. I was just trying to put it from her point of view. It's not black and white. Bo |

I try to see it from her point of view too but I guess it all comes down to whether your love for the dead should over-shadow your love for the living. I think in the end, you should honor and remember the dead but live for the living and she should accept this for HK's sake if nothing else.

I think in the end, you should honor and remember the dead but live for the living and she should accept this for HK's sake if nothing else. Absolutely, HC, that is what it all boils down to. Er, to what it all boils down. To. Ech. It just seems to me that this particular character is needing more time than the others to accept the situation (and I believe she will), and the other characters don't seem to be able or want to understand that. The situation with her trying to ruin Joyland is a bit more complicated. I wonder how the writers will resolve it. From my seat, except for the baby requirement for Yu-gin and Hye-ran ("Can't end the drama until the babies are in the karma"), all that's left to resolve is (A) Myung-joo accepts Hye-ran & fam, and (B) Myung-joo fails in attempt to ruin In-huan.

Personally, people haven't given her credit for at least leaving the Oh family alone for so many years when she could have plotted against them.... Unfortunately, Hyun-kyu's problematic love life only served to complicate things.... Hey, Myung-joo may not be good wife material, IMO, but she's not the Queen of Darkness either.... |

Has she always worn black and white to the exclusion of all other colors? She does now. It's quite an interesting device. She's so miserable, crying to her sister's grave like that. Meanies. Bo |

And, if the mean grannie can change, why can't the evil aunt?
I knew KB was faking, right away, when In-huan walked in the door and came running to her side. I didn't realize the whole gaggle was in on it. Hilarious.
Bo
PS - And how funny was it when Soon-ok asked for the money? I laughed. Kwi-boon was suppressing a smile for sure.

Her "faking was obvious" what kind of made me doubt for a second was SY & YJ's reaction, they really did look scared.
Of course, if they take people to the hospital for mere "exhaustion" then it would strike me as odd that they would not take her in when a more serious medical condition arose. Are you watching the morning broadcasts and barely saw this, or did you remember and got inspired? If you barely saw this in the morning, I'm afraid of what will happen if I miss an episode, it seems like a really long time to wait.
