Michill disgusts me MOST OF THE TIME - She is so self-centered she cannot even begin to see anyone else's pain -- It's a hard decision to make about telling a child he/she is adopted unless you start right from the beginning so that the child knows how "special" he/she is -- almost all adopted children want to meet their bio parents if possible. Not that they want to walk away from the parents who raised them but because they are truly curious as to what their mother and father look like and what kind of people they are and why they were put up for adoption. This is very natural and in this country, we have come to understand that it's the child's right to that information, most especially medical history - is so important. I think if they had told Seolchill the truth from the beginning when she was a small child, she would have felt much differently about her situation. Right now she is in shock - not even acting like herself; her dad should not lie to her about her mother abandoning her - by saying no she didn't makes Seolchill think she was only taken into his family to assuage his guilt over the accidental shooting of her father. Excuses could be made for the mother -- no way to support herself etc. possibly even the truth - I don't understand why there is so much lying going on all the time in these stories - I find lying to be an extremely disgusting action and the truth usually is a better idea all around anyway. Just MHO -- (Soapy, I fixed your bold tags. Lucy) I have to say that I completely agree with you soapy. There's no need for all this lying that happens in Korean Dramas. If the writers for these dramas are really seeking to keep the viewers in their grasp then they should really think of better storylines. All this lying really gets sickening after a while. It's like the truth can never really set anyone free and the moment that someone does spill the beans, all seems to be either well or really bad. But hey, at least someone said something. I don't think Michill has any right to say anything to anyone in the family, I think I've said this before, but she's just about the worst daughter and sister a parent could have. I seriously wonder where Ilhan feels this sense of love for her from. I don't get how anyone could love Michill, as mad as she is.

Everyone grows and changes...and we knew little of her pain in growing...
Give her a break...
She's changing right before our eyes.
Think how disgraceful Seochill treated her 'mother and father' for awhile after learning of the combat accident which took her birth father's life...
We all grow.
(By the way, I'm secretly in love with Seochill/Lee Tae Ran)

Well, as far as we know, Seolchill is still treating her parents this way. We don't see any change in Michill. She's still a horrible, selfish wench. So if you're ahead of us wherever you are (you see Michill changing and growing), please don't tell us what is going to happen (no spoilers). But anyway, everyone has "reasons" why they behave the way they do, but that doesn't excuse their behavior. Michill has had more than enough chances to look inward, and has had more than enough mirrors held up to her to show her how awfully she's behaved all her life. She has serious, serious character flaws. Anyone who shares a room with Seolchill and still thinks she's the bad one is almost hopeless. I can understand hating and resenting your sister out of sibling rivalry, no question. But she's an adult and has had many wake-up calls, especially with Ilhan and his uncle. A bit of reflection would have shown her the hard truth, but she persists in acting like a 3-year-old, no matter how real and serious the grown-up hurts she is inflicting on others. What she did with Seolchill (getting close with Ilhan only because she secretly knew SC loved him, and then threatening and bullying S for still being friends with "HER" boyfriend [Ilhan will probably never know that's how she mysteriously appeared in his life]) is almost unforgivable. But, in the grand tradition of Korean dramas, you just know that she's going to have some unrealistic moment when she completely changes and everyone forgives her, just like that, because they are a family and that's the most important thing. --on reflection, 5 minutes after writing the above, I do understand Michill. She is tortured by something, probably resentment she's carried since childhood. But I cannot bring myself to excuse her behavior. Unless Seolchill herself did something awful to Michill besides the apparently heinous crime of losing her parents and being adopted (thus stealing attention from Michill), I can't see what would excuse her.-- We are all big admirers of Seochill and LTR, I think. I have a not-secret platonic crush on Lee Tae-ran. Well, "crush" is too strong a word. I think she's super-neato (trying to channel Ned Flanders here), especially in the way she played Lee Hana on "Who's My Love." I want to see more of that character, and all the WML family.

I'm right there with you Lucy. Nothing, absolutely NOTHING pardons Mi-chill's demeaning, vain, and not to mention SELFISH behavior. She will never grow in any sense of the word because she's so used to having things her way. What she doesn't realize it that people don't merely back away from her because they see that she's right in everything she does, as she so thinks, but they give up a fight to her because she's so adament in her misconceptions.
Seo-chill has not changed. She's still the same person. She's just going through a little bit of soul-searching to see if she thinks she's the same person as before or not. That outburst her father heard was sincere, I believe, and there was nothing wrong with what she said. She has sacrificed so much for a family that's not hers. She gave up the one man she loved for so long for a sister that never was hers nor thought of her as one. Seo-chill's needs time for her own emotions and the truth is, you can't blame her for anything she's said or done to her "family". Her family, I don't think, save for her parents maybe, will ever understand exactly how valuable she is.
