I saw in a preview scene about 1-2 days ago of Hee-joo and In-young sitting at the cafe together. I must have missed this scene, but may someone please tell me what the two women were discussing as they sat drinking coffee together? Thanks in advance!

I don't think it happened yet, as they just ran into each other today for the first time in 3 years. And Heejoo thinks they are still married.

This must be an upcoming episode. In-young and Hee-joo talked briefly outside of a cafe. HJ wanted to talk with IY. IY was very upset about divorce papers, so she didn't want to talk with HJ. It was painful for her when HJ asked her about the child she was expecting a few years ago. It seemed that some guy was waiting for HJ, so maybe she's gotten over Ki-joon.

I don't think so, but she was just hanging out with that NY playboy to try and get over KJ, so maybe she's using someone else this time? Good thing, too. I couldn't stand the actor who palyed him. EEkK! He always had this dreary expression on his face.

Oh, I thought that this scene aired about 2 episodes ago because I saw this preview spoiler since last week. Thanks for the information, everyone! I didn't get to see the scene where HJ and IY ran into each other outside the cafe shop either so thanks for the info ----- This scene aired this evening. I was wondering where this scene went since I saw it in a preview last week.

hi! i'm a recent convert to'my sweetheart' and has been watching it religiously for more than a month now. my god! how can anyone not see that this hee joo character is something like the 'fatal attraction' role of glenn close. why would anyone marry someone who deliberately jumps into the river. she's crazy and ki-joon deserves his unhappy state now. i so hate the mother-in-law. does korea have so many of this prototype of a mother-in-law. i wanted to scream at ki-joo to get out of his mom's house and get a new hope for inyoung and himself. is it a requirement for the sons to live with his mother even after he gets married.

Traditionally, the oldest son and his wife live with his parents, taking care of them in their old age. Although this is not as prevalent nowadays, it still seems to be part of the culture. It used to be that people had limited say in who they married. Even up til the early 20th cetury, it was a crime in Korea for a man to get married without his father's permission. Mean mothers-in-law are a staple of daily dramas. Ok-jin is the meanest one I've seen yet, even meaner than the one the same actress, Park Won-sook, played in the drama "To Be With You"

I am afraid Hee-joo is turning back into her old self again. She is so determined to go have dinner at Ki-joon's place. That scene where she drove her car after leaving Ok-jin's house a few weeks ago showed her facial expression as if she was determined to get something. I was really happy to see Hee-joo so focused on her career/work after coming back from the US. Although she hasn't said anything about wanting Ki-joon, you can just see it in her face. Does she really like Ok-jin that much?! She could have easily said she didn't want to eat dinner there or make up some excuse about how she's busy doing something else.

But she forgot his birthday-doesn't that mean she's over her obsession? But it could come roaring back, I suppose. But her mother is disapproving now, tho. But SM wants KJ to marry soon, so she'll probably interfere more. Man, it's like a ping-pong game in my head. ;D

Man, it's like a ping-pong game in my head. ;D Last night, SM said to KJ something like "you're not going to be alone forever"...forever? ...how long has it been since IY and KJ separated/divorce??? With the speed up process in these dramas...has it supposedly been awhile now since they split??? And wasn't that Matchmaker something else!! She was making SM so ticked off by making remarks to the fact that KJ was a "divorcee" thereby making him less of a catch! Anyway, like KJ will go for this matchmaking business.

Ellen's Original Post: hi! i think we're ahead in the philippines. we're now in episode 117 and i really regret not catching this drama sooner. this heejoo character is really something. the mother in law is getting a dose of her own medicine thru heejoo. serves her right! this woman has no life of her own and makes a career of meddling into her son's life. what i cannot understand is grown-up and adult age children cannot make decisions of their own in korea. is this a part of korean culture?Lucy's Response: Hi, Ellen, and welcome. It's nice to hear from a viewer in the Philippines. I wanted to ask, since you are so far ahead of us, that you not mention any spoilers or hint at what is to come. Many of us are rather sensitive about that. This is not to say that you've done anything wrong or that there is anything against you now--it's just a friendly hint to you as a new person. Now, about your question, to put it overly simply, yes. Culturally, a person is not considered an "adult" until they are married, and even married children are subordinate to their elders. The eldest person in the family is to be consulted on all decisions and their opinion is supposed to be important. That's the case formally, but of course, I don't know anyone in Korea and have never been there to see "real" life, so the actual reality may be very different. I think what we see in the dramas is a more idealized old-fashioned idea of social and family life. I just posted a long message in the In-young/Ki-joon/Jae-min thread on this board about some aspects of Korean culture that I found interesting for the light they shed on why KJ's mother gets away with being so horrible. [ end Lucy's response] [Note from Bo: This was so confusing when I read it, I just edited it to make clear who said what--I think Lucy thought she was "quoting" when really she was in "modify" mode, LOL. Welcome to our board, Ellen!]

OK... Help, help, help!!!
I'm getting confused about this Hee-joo character. I may have missed the first 50 episodes of this. I hear Hee-joo and think "My Precious Child!" So is this the girl who just came back from "studying abroad?"
BTW, to get back to the animal sayings, there one that goes, "a zebra doesn't change its stripes."

Hee-joo and her mother are friends of the Kim family. Everybody assumed Hee-joo would marry Ki-joon . . . except Ki-joon, who thought of her as a younger sister.
When Ki-joon married In-young, there was a lot of tension between the three, but Hee-joo got over it, and went to study in the USA. Now she's back, and finds Ki-joon is divorced. She hasn't said anything yet, but you just know . . .

Hee-joo is demanding marriage from Ki-joon! I think Ki-joon should marry Hee-joo rather than have his mom pick his new wife from the blind dates pile.
