Yes, if Ki-jun and In-young are to be married, they should move far, far away. Only coming back to visit In-young's family and close friends.
Hee-joo was about to give up on Ki-jun until Ok-jin told Hee-joo that Ok-jin would never accept In-young as her DIL. And Hee-joo is just wasting her time trying to get Ki-jun. Ki-jun is already head over heels in-love with In-young...why in the world would Hee-joo think Ki-jun would ever get with her? As for her getting him back just to dump him so he would feel hurt....that plan is so dumb. It's just stupid for both sides. Hee-joo should just get over it and move on.

Hee-joo must be very spoiled and naive to think that Ki-joon will marry her after all the stupid antics she's played on him. I hardly see her as a mature, emotionally stable woman who can have a love relationship and raise a family.
I just wonder about the future. I think Ki-joon will finally relent and marry Hee-joo, but she will be jealous and watchful of every move he makes. Ki-joon will still ache for In-young who will move on with life because she's normal. Life with Hee-joo will be miserable, but it will please his mother who seems to have total control over his life.

Ok-jin treats her son like he's a little kid. I think she'll only let him go once she sees that he's married so his wife can start taking care of him. It's partly Ki-jun's fault. He should have shown to his mother that he's a mature, responsible person. But he's not. He doesn't tell Hee-joo things straight to her face and he keeps like running away from things.

Her plan is so stupid. If he didn't want her before her "revenge" plot, why would he want her now that she's semi out of the picture and getting serious w/Inyoung?
p.s. Is it me or did Kijoon and Inyoung's romance get very serious very quickly. I mean I don't think they went out for the full month and they are already talking about being so deeply in love, Kijoon w/plans to get married, etc.

They tell us rather than show us that a couple is desperately in love, and they do it way too soon so they can get to the "good" part of keeping them apart. It never, ever has rung true that the star-crossed couple love each other in one of these daily dramas. The weekly dramas are a different story. In my opinion, "Winter Sonata" and, to a lesser extent, "On the Green Prairie" did a good job of showing why two people are in love and how it happened, so the desperation they feel when family or other circumstances keep them apart is believable.

This is true. I just don't see why Inyoung would put up with all this when she just met the guy. I'd be out of there so fast that you would just see a galacticchick shaped cloud of air in the atmosphere. Add to that the fact that Kijoon would not even get a second glance from me. p.s. what's up w/those grandpa sweaters of his? On some guys it looks cool, but I think he wears too many layers under them.

I guess I'm not the only one who is getting frustrated and bored. Ki-joon is 30, seems to have a good career (has enough to stay in a hotel) but fears his mother as she meddles in his life. Hee-joo is a spoiled brat who expects to get whatever makes her happy, even though her parents are having second doubts about her obsession with Ki-joon. I like In-young's father who is reasonable, but I think he has second doubts about his daughter marrying into such a dysfunctional family. In-young should tell Ki-joon that, since they're both working and seem to economically stable, they should just get married and move far away.
I hope this drama moves beyond this dilemma because it's becoming very repetitive and boring. When it comes to Jae-min and his very ill wife, I find myself in tears because their situation is so genuine and sincere. Here you see a young dying woman, with a child, and her husband trying to make her last days memorable. On the other hand, there's a mentally unstable mother and an emotionally unstable woman trying to convince a 30 year old man that he should do as they say.

I completely agree with you, Sandy. If this is how it's going to be for the next 100 episodes, I'm not sure I want to watch.
And Hejoo with her "I'll let you be free, but you come back and marry me." What kind of poop is that? I mean this really makes me sure that she doesn't love him, it's just that she can't stand Inyoung take something that she considered hers. Does she have no self respect?

I'm considering dropping this drama. If it weren't for Jae-min, I'd be out of there already. I should have known better than to hope for a great drama, considering that the actor who plays Ki-joon was in it. I've developed an antipathy to him.
Just when I'm sick of it all, we get a scene with Lee Chang-hoon in an all-black outfit, dandling his baby, hand-feeding his sick wife, and generally being adorable. *sigh* I don't want to miss stuff like that. Is there some kind of anti-Ki-joon TV zapper on the market?

Man, they're almost like an afterthought in this drama, I feel like I'm watching two separate shows. I thought I'd dissolve at the scene where he took her to the lake in his car and she was so sad, you could see some of what had been good in their marriage. (Although I could not figure out why she was not in pain.) They are worth watching, but are they in view enough? Bo

Bo, were you a fan of Spy magazine? You sound like you're quoting Walter MonheitTM, the publicist's best friend.

I wouldn't say I was a fan, Lucy. I just talk like that. Maybe Spy was a fan of TheBo.

In tonight's episode, Ki-joon returns home because of In-young. I just wish she'd tell Ki-joon that his mother is the most evil woman she's dealt with. They're going on a train trip, but I just wonder what they'll have to deal with when they return. I think they should just keep travelling and never return home if they want to keep their relationship alive. It's becoming so boring to see Ki-joon's dysfunctional family trying to force him to make his mother happy.
The very sad situation with Jae-min and his wife really make this drama worth watching.
