Poor Jae-Hae still remains in a coma as her loved ones surround her. The doctors say that it's not physical, but psychological. What's all this talk about adopting an infant to maybe entice her out of this coma? All of this came from her father-in-law who encouraged that she have surgery.

I really hope that Jee-hae recovers. I don't know if her family should adopt a baby or not. It may be too soon and Jee-hae should have a say in the adoption process. Yeah, her father-in-law was really serious about wanting Jee-hae to have the surgery, did he even visit her at the hospital yet ? I guess it would be nice if Jee-hae and Jae-min adopt a baby, but I don't think they should be adopting so soon. They should wait for Jee-hae to wake up and then decide together.

I think it's insane of them to be discussing adopting a baby while the prospective mother is in a coma. 1) a baby is not a toy, it's a lifetime, life-changing responsibility! Does no one in the family realize this? 2) maybe Jee-hae doesn't want a baby. Although obviously the presumption in soap operas is that every woman wants a baby by any means, maybe after she wakes up from the coma she'll have a different outlook, or maybe she'll need a little time to herself, for god's sake. Can't they imagine how they'd feel if they woke up to learn their reproductive organs were gone, and oh, surprise! we adopted a baby for you while you were out.
Sheesh!

In the last episode, Jae-Hae's monitor seemed to be a flat-liner which means that she's dead. Yet, Jae-Min was reading some kind of poetry to Jae-Hae tonight. I just wonder if presenting her with a new-born baby will awaken her.
It's obvious that Sung-Ae has taken in a very pregnant woman, maybe hoping that it will help. Who is this women that now is sleeping with poor Grandma?

They didn't explicitly say but from the conversations, she's a surrogate mother. She didn't have anywhere to go and so they took her in for the duration, in exchange for her baby.
That is, if she can manage to not have her baby beaten to death by crazy grandma. Seriously, that is one bad idea to put her in there with ol' wackjob.

I don't know why the pregnant woman has to share a room with Grandma when Grandma is not in the best moods these days. If anything, Min-sup should sleep upstairs, Young-lan should just stay in Jee-hae's old room, the pregnant woman could have Jee-hae's parents'sroom, and Jee-hae's mom could stay with Grandma. I mean, is it a good idea to put the pregnant woman in Grandma's room? We saw how Grandma has sudden changes in her actions. She could have woke up in the middle of the night and freak out about who is this stranger in her room and maybe get a little out of hand and who knows! We've seen Grandma attack Jee-hae before .

I think a scene was cut out between when the pregnant woman showed up at Sung-ae's office and when she was put to bed in Grandma's room. I think Jee-hae's mom said later that Jae-min's mom was "covetous" of that baby. I'm taping the morning rerun to see if there was some explanation cut out.
I agree that it was a stupid idea to put that lady in the room with Grandma. Good for Min-sup for thinking of that, and bad on Sung-ae for dismissing his worry so arrogantly.

By American standards, we just wouldn't take in some strange pregnant woman waiting for her to give birth, but customs vary among nations.
Since poor Grandma isn't thinking clearly, it's foolish to put her in a room with a young, very pregnant woman. We don't know anything about her, but she seems very fragile and afraid.
If Jae-Hae wakes up from her coma, is her family going to try to trick her into believing that she was pregnant, but slept throughout her pregnancy? If Jae-Hae accepts this idea, will this be one big lie that the family will have to hide? If Jae-Min's mother takes in this baby, will she become so attached to it that she doesn't want to give it to her son and DIL? It seems that Jae-Min's mother is looking for something or someone to make her life complete. Maybe I'm wrong, but her husband seems like an insensitive jerk, never really there for his family.

jae mins dad is a jerk but he's right about some things. jae mins mom is just makeing decisions based on her emotions and she's totally using her son and dil to get a baby for herself. why cant she just adopt one as her own? jae-hae does not want a baby. a couple of episodes back before her miscarriage she told jae-min a couple of times she was not trying to get pregnant.
the baby is all about jae-mins mom. i just hope she's prepared to take care of it if they do decide to adopt.

Hachiue, I'm curious where you got this idea. I taped the (presumably more complete) repeat of Wednesday night's episode on Thursday morning, and there was no additional information about the girl. Just the scene with her walking into the advice office and asking where Dr. Sung-ae (don't remember her last name) was and then the scene at home in Grandma's room. Sung-ae and Min-sup didn't say anything about surrogacy, just that she didn't have anywhere to go and had to leave her home because her roommate's boyfriend kept coming over. I thought she could just as easily be an unwed mother. I yam confused because I would have sworn they had cut something out of Wednesday's showing.

I thought she could just as easily be an unwed mother. I yam confused because I would have sworn they had cut something out of Wednesday's showing. Ah, by surrogate, I didn't mean she was carrying Jae-min's child. However, as she came into the office with no impetus, and was taken in by Jee-hae's parents, and since Sung-ae said something about Jae-min's mom coveting the baby, and since she had no where to go (I don't know if the situation with the roommate will change ever), I assumed that they were going to take this baby for Jee-hae. It would be convenient because apparently they can't get one if the birth has been registered, so they would need to get one whose birth wasn't registered and register it to Jee-hae and Jae-min somehow. (Also, wasn't it creepy when Jae-min's mom kept saying "the younger the better, a newborn infant would be perfect." The healthcare worker looked like she wished she had some mace or something.) You know, because things like this don't happen for no reason too often. Except for band-aid. (Oh how we miss you band-aid.)

(Oh how we miss you band-aid.) Too true! Healthcare Lady always has this look on her face as if something in the room smells. I was wondering about Band-aid and his pshycho buddy too. So many plots, so little follow-through.

LOL!!! Totally!
Why don't they wrap Band-aid up in a baby blanket, put him in Jee-hae's arms, and tell him to act like a baby? The shock might bring her out of that coma, and it would be good penance for what he did to her before.

Tee-hee! For one thing, he couldn't wield a camera or tell her how pretty she is or buy lipsticks from her; it would be pretty much goo-goo. Though he could make "goo-goo eyes" at her again, I guess.
