has anyone been watching how hee-soo's been acting lately? for one she's more strait forward, a little more demanding and she's no longer afraid to tell jin-kook what she thinks, and the days of her being intimidated by youngsil is OVER. she seems to have a attitude lately and she's even argumentive, she starts the fights now. at times u can kind of see her mom characteristics in her especially when it comes to her meddling. and did anyone see how she totally picked that fight with jin-kook about younglan? jin-kook was shocked i guess he was thinking "oh god....she's like her mother"

I think Hee-Soo's given a lot of effort to reconciling Jin-Kook's family, but she's becoming tired of catering to everyone. From the beginning of their marriage, Jin-Kook acted like a jerk, making her sensitive to his feelings and actions. Then, she became like a second mother to Jin-Soo, being there for him. When Dad had his health problems, Hee-Soo was there for him too. When her brother became so involved in tracking down Jin-Kook's step-mother, she was there to reconcile her mother-in-law with Jin-Soo who really missed his mother.
Hee-Soo is really a strong person, given a lot of time to her husband's dysfunctional family. Maybe Hee-Soo's beginning to see that they're the dysfunctional ones, not her. Also, she wants to have children, so she needs to bring stability into Jin-Kook's family.
However, Hee-Soo will find more work regarding her own family which seemed perfect, but has problems as well. Her brother's ex will upset the stability of her family.

yes hee-soo has been through a lot and the pressures of her household is starting to take a toll on her. before she always seemed chiper but now she's showing her irritation and frustration. im glad the writers are showing her as being a normal person just like everyone else.

I agree. I think Hee-Soo is just becoming burned-out with all the demands placed on her. She had to become involved in her in-law's problems right from the start. I remember how she was rebuked by her mother-in-law from the start. Then, Jin-Soo, being slow, shocked her. Her own husband didn't help until she started to take over.
Whatever happened to Hee-Soo's desire to work in aquatics? I think that was what she had some training in. Now, her own family is having problems, so she'll have to divert attention to them. Could it be that Hee-Soo is a "rescurer"? She never seems to speak up for what she wants.

This question threw me, but I see from your symbol that you are a gent :-) --so without going into detail, let me just say that it is quite possible indeed. There are even numerous real-life cases (thought it's by no means common) in which the woman, for some strange reason, never knew she was pregnant until she went into labor. (Imagine it: "Oh, I have a terrible stomach ache! I have to go to the emergency room!" and an hour later, they're holding a newborn.) That, I will grant, is very bizarre and requires that the woman be completely out of touch with and uninterested in her own bodily processes. But in my experience, it is only on television shows that women start worrying a day or two after their periods are due, saying, "I'm late! I'm NEVER late!"--unless they have some particular reason to worry, such as they've just had unprotected sex. It's easy enough to let a month go by without wondering what's up, especially if you, like Hee-soo, think your birth-control method is infallible and so it must just be something else. Every woman has a different relationship with her body, if you will, so it's hard to generalize, but anything is possible and, in fact, some things are more common that one might realize.
Plus, think about it--if she's seven weeks pregnant, that means, roughly speaking, that she might be only three+ weeks "late." Easy enough, for those three weeks, to chalk any symptoms up to something else, like a touch of the flu.
Now, a question from me: Why did she go to the doctor in the first place? There was no indication that she even felt there was something wrong with her.

I also wonder how she could not have known. Ji-hae also didn't know that she was pregnant either when she was pregnant in the previous episodes. I guess it could be that HS doesn't have any symptoms showing of a pregnant woman? And how about all those alcoholic drinks she had with Ji-hae and Jae-min at the restaurant the night before she found out she seven weeks pregnant ?

This happened on "One Million Roses," too, and we had an interesting discussion about whether they didn't think in Korea that alcohol was as dangerous as we do. Yu-kyung's baby showed no ill effects from her pounding of rice wine before she knew she was pregnant. Considering how the Korean dramas are written, I think we only need to worry about Hee-soo's baby in relation to the drinks if she does, otherwise nothing's going to happen.

Take it from a maternity nurse and a mother, MANY women do not know they are preggers until very far along (or at all). Remember that stress, overexercise, medications, and many other things can make periods irregular or absent. I myself have seen quite a few women in our "high risk" inner city group of patients deliver babies claiming they did not know they were pregnant. Examples: obese women, average women with under-developed babies, addicts, mentally retarded mothers, rape survivors who are in profound denial, women who think they are infertile because some dumb doc said "you'll never have kids due to damage from a sexually transmitted disease", inexperienced teens who swear they never "REALLY" had sex, women with waning periods(peri-menopausal age), even once a dancer who thought she had a tumor!!!! Trust me on this. P.S. (Is this more than you wanted to hear???!!!!)

Oh, and I wanted to add this: How come she needs a "hormonal" justification for being mad at her hubby for being secretive? The pregnancy does not explain it, him being surly and insensitive explains it. His first loyalty should be to his wife and her family over ANY business deal, even if they were former partners in business already (which they weren't). I think sometimes we women minimize our own justified feelings by using pregnancy or PMS to cover as an (unnecessary ) excuse. This allows men to do it to us, too. Hee-Soo was not off the wall or out of control. She was just hurt and angry.

I'm with you 100%, phillyden, but I wasn't sure what the mood dynamics and interplay on the show were supposed to be because I missed some episodes, so I didn't comment. You are absolutely right.

We don't know that she can't have children, though. Do we? They're all just assuming that outcome, I think.

After tonight's ep, it's clear that Jae-hee will not bear any children.
How come Hee-soo didn't suddenly get morning sickness at the dinner table? Pregnant women in durama ALWAYS do, so their MIL can tell them they're pregnant.

THAT'S TRUE, extreme morning sickness is par for the course in k-drama land.
