Looks like IY is under a tremendous amount of stress and KJ is not providing enough support. SM seems to only be tolerating IY on the hopes that she'll get pregnant. A lot is riding on her getting pregnant and I don't think it will happen. I might be wrong, but looks like they are headed towards a divorce. Since we're talking Korea here...is divorce becoming a more acceptable option or is it considered a disgrace to the family???

On another board, the discussion was about the rate of divorce in Korea and how it was soaring. Many people were of the opinion that the divorce rate was so high due to couples living with parents/in-laws. Also, now many Korean women are very well educated and hold good positions/jobs. There seems to be a lessening of pressure on them to get married early and start a family. As divorce becomes more prevalent, the attitude of "disgrace" seems to be moderating. Many elders however, still abhor the thought of divorce for any reason except infertility. This info was provided by one of the posters who is Korean, lives in USA and has close relatives in Korea. It was also an article in the Korean newspapers some months ago.

It seems that In-young is having second-thoughts about her marriage while undergoing all these procedures. Either she'll spend the next 10 years trying to get pregnant to make SM happy, or live a miserable life knowing that she didn't produce a grandchild.
It's ironic how she keeps running into Jae-min who has a child whose mother is dead. In-young would bring much happiness to Jae-min and to his young son.

S. korea has the second highest divorce rate in the world (im guessing U.S is number one) i can see why if they have to go throught what in-young is going through.
plus i think its because more korean women are in the work force and thats putting alot of strain on marriages. especially for the ultra conservitive family who belives a woman's place is in the home

I knew it was coming! But I didn't think so suddenly. I thought when In-young asked Ki-joon out for some air...she was going to tell him about going to the hospital for more fertility treatments or else ScreechMom would get a surrogate mother. But when In-young said, "Ki-joon ah, I want a divorce," I was like, "Oh my goodness!"

It's so sudden that I'm sure her reasoning is that Ki-joon needs to find another wife to have a baby with, not that she's giving up on the marriage itself. I mean, she is, but it can't be because she doesn't love him anymore. It's gotta be that Screechy has painted her into a corner, and she doesn't want some other woman bearing her baby.

Look at this website: www.aneki.com/divorce.htmlIt says, the highest in the world is Maldives (apparently a small island nation south of India), second Belarus (in old USSR, of course) and third USA. Korea's not even on list. (Funny thing, I looked at their other lists...richest, poorest, etc., and USA is third on almost every one except poorest and most expensive to live in (S Korea made #2 there!).) I don't know where these people get their info, of course. It's just a google. Where did you get your info, panther? Bo

Maybe panther's data was really for the increase in divorce, like: "South Korea has the second-fastest-growing divorce rate in the world." Mebbe?

I agree with Lucy. IY is most probably going to say: "I love you KJ, but I want to make everyone happy, as well. If I can't give you the child that you deserve, then you shouldn't be with me. I can't take this anymore. It's hurting everyone. Especially Ummuni. I can't hurt anybody any longer, so I'm going to get out, I mean, leave. Just remember that I love you, please do this for me." Wow, if that's the case, In the previews, KJ was crying in the bathroom, so it's definately finalized....

I'm actually GLAD that IY wants to a divorce from KJ, I'm starting to hate the guy as much as his sister and his mother, the only thing good about KJ's family is his aunt and her husband, I can't believe he snapped cuz of a stupid picture above their bed yet he never said anything (to his mother anyways) when poor IY was putting her body through so much. I SAY BRING ON THE DIVORCE! :-[Please don't hate me

Well, ovaridedis24, when you put it LIKE THAT. I guess KJ could've done more. But, i still side with his actions about the pomegranate. Who the heck wants a symbol of fertility hanging above their bed, haunting them of their inability to have children?

Yeah I know, who would want that above their head, but if it's something that'll give IY peace of mind, then he should've let it go, can't he see that his wife is depressed, better yet, if he didn't like it, he could've calmly asked her to take it down and rationalize w/ her instead of throwing it on the floor like that, he never even apologized for what he did.
