hey guys. i've been watching WML at least once a week and i caught this wknd's episode of it when the boys and their father went to visit their mother's grave. i thought it was real sad and touching. i feel bad for the father since he's all alone now that his boys all have their own families. is it because he loves their mother that much that he doesnt feel the need to remarry? if it is, i think thats really touching and sweet.

Yes, Betty, the father has always said that his marriage vows were forever. He and his wife really loved each other. He says she was his wife, and he doesn't want another one. Sweet! It also has made a good impression on the daughters-in-law and their families, who figure that if that's the way the father felt about his wife, then the sons will be similar.
The graveside scene was touching, as you said. When stoic Hyun-sik was asked to say something, and he was quiet for a long while, then just said, "I miss you," that made me cry.

The father's face said it all. The grief seemed etched into him. The eyes too. Great scene.

Yeah, I think everyone got a lump in their throat with that one. Poor Hyunsik, he misses his mom just like the other boys.

Well, I'll add one of my "favorite" moments to this thread, and that is when Mr Tak brings a health club membership to Quiltie, and she says, "I'll call you every morning and you'll go with me." Just in case he wondered who was going to me in charge in THEIR house, LOL. Like I say, she's got more of her mother in her than might at first be apparent.
Oh, oh, oh--speaking of Mama Dragon, I LOVED any scene with Cha and her, any time she said anything, he'd suddenly be, "Yes, mother, of course mother"! LOL. Such a big chicken man. I found them the most entertaining "couple" on the show in many ways.

You're right about Cha and Ma. It is a little sad, though, that Older Aunt's great love story ends up with him running her down to score points with her mother. Amusing, but sad for her. She went from his saying that he has always loved her and wants to set things right by spending the rest of his life with her, to his acting like she's the ol' ball-and-chain.

.... It is a little sad, though, that Older Aunt's great love story ends up with him running her down to score points with her mother. ... Oh! You're right, that is sad! I guess I didn't think of it that way because she didn't seem to mind it. She's such an odd sort, she seems to thrive on minor conflict. One other thing about Cha & OA, they sort of turned into Mama's squabbling children, didn't they. I don't see that happening with Quiltie and Tak, do you? Quiltie always knew how to handle her mom better, anyway. You know, yes, mom, yes, mom, while going ahead and doing what she wanted anyway. Bo

I think you may be right about Older Auntie, though it hadn't occurred to me. She seems contented just being a wife and having "the husband" around sharing her life. Even if it means he pokes fun at her and plays card with her mother all the time. She still gets to be with him and, now that I think of it, she really wasn't that romantic a type to begin with, except for the part where she carried a torch for him her whole life. Now that he's part of the reality of her life, she seems just as exasperated and lovingly tolerant as any other wife. No, I don't see that happening with Tak. He will probably never fit in completely. Sometimes his temper will get the better of him or he will have a lapse in judgment like the one he had when discussing hiring Hana, and they'll probably also keep throwing his reputation back in his face. Geez, how many times could they mention his bad temper, especially when few of them had ever seen it? It's like reading Dickens, where every character has a distinguishing characteristic and they display it every damn time they appear. Arrr, Barkus is willin', etc.
