I liked the montage of all the run-ins between YH and GH… I forgot how naive she looked at the beginning of the series. Now she looks troubled almost always.
Also I thought someone mentioned that UY and YH were the same age: 29. Yet SY says she's known YH for 30 years.
Sinhyeoung looked spectacular in the bride's dress. I feel bad for her.

I really liked GH at the beginning of the series, but now I can't help but start to dislike her. She shunned poor Ug-yeong away when he was dying for her love and she supposedly cared about him a lot too. Now, she's suddenly developed these feelings for YH? I don't get it. Shin-yeong on the other hand, can't really like her now. She's still cute and nice, but she's becoming quite the stalker. She really just needs to let go.

Wasn't she (GW) forced to shun Ugyeong by his family? She was pressured over and over by his folks and made to feel that she was giving UY a hard time as they put it. I don't think she wanted to hurt him, but that was the only way to keep peace in his family… at both their expenses. That might be one reason for her mood these days.
As for SH, how do you let go after 30 years? Little sister can't let go after 30 days… talk about a stalker.

I agree with you, zorro, though GH's feelings weren't that clear. Her clearest statement on the situation that I remember was when she said to someone (or to herself?) that she cared for UY but wasn't sure if it was love. And I'm reminded of something I just read, that in the Confucian philosophy, the spirits of the dead hang around for 4 generations. Gukhwa was about to marry UY's uncle when he died. She still goes to the tree to talk to him. So it's like Gukhwa would be dating/marrying his nephew while he was still alive, which has a bit of an incestuous feel and also probably seems really disrespectful to the deceased Sungu.
I can't say I really sympathize, though. I think Ugyeong and Gukhwa would be a match made in heaven. They're both really nice, and really sweet, and their temperaments and outlooks are similar. It would be as cute as two puppies in a basket with those two. I feel bad for Ugyeong.

If true, that would make a perfect explanation Lucy. I had no idea about the spirit world concept. 4 generations seems like overkill though in my opinion.
Agree with your second point totally.

As for SH, how do you let go after 30 years? Little sister can't let go after 30 days… talk about a stalker. Ug-yeong and Yun-jung were never friends like Yunhu and Shin-yeong. From the beginning, Yun-jung stated how much she liked him, etc. Shin-yeong's been using the friendship card to hold onto Yunhu. He doesn't like her, he's told her this for quite some time, she should get the hint. On the matter of Yun-jeong, she's just a bit immature, she has to have what she wants. Shin-yeong shouldn't be as possessive as she is over Yunhu when he doesn't care about her that way. Both women are a bit too clingy, IMO. Noted that GH was really harrassed by Ug-yeong's family a lot when they found out their feelings for eachother, but if she's going to end up liking another guy where his famiy will ALSO be opposed to their relationship, why didn't she just stick with Ug-yeong, who could've undoubtedly made her very happy, to begin with?

I guess she feels it's not right since she was married to Ugyeong's uncle (on paper, of course) where as with Yunhu you have his ignorant and arrogant mother but none of that "it's weird because I would've been your aunt" complex...know what I mean?

I guess that's true... But they never thought of eachother as aunt and nephew... but ohh well... I can understand how there'd be some level of discomfort if GH and UY ever did get married or something to that effect.

You could really see the pain in Ugyeong's eyes tonight as he watched Gukhwa walk back home after they had dinner. Of all the "couples" they look best together. Too bad.
And speaking of expressions… Yunjeong's blank stare while her mom was pressing her to go on another blind date was priceless.

And soon as they start off their relationship together, they lie to one another. I can just see their bright future now.

I missed Wednesday. At the end of Tuesday's episode Gukhwa was insisting that the party girls apologize to her, but then YH came in and told her they should leave.
I don't need a long recap, but wonder what happened in that situation. It's the *only* time I can remember GW asserting herself with that much conviction in the whole series, and I just hope YH didn't undermine her stand.
Thanks in advance for any reply.

Yes, he did undermine her, unfortunately. He dragged her out of there while she kept insisting on an apology. But it didn't seem like he was embarrassed by her; he just wanted the situation to end.

She never repeated what the girls said to her. "Yunhu always chooses cheap girls." Cheap doesn't mean poor in English, it means skanky or slutty, doesn't it? I wonder what exactly those mean girls said? They're bad friends, no, that's a contradiction, they are not friends of Yunhu. Wouldn't Yunhu have said something to them if he knew what the problem was? Then HE'D say Apologize!

you're so right ginny ... she should have told him exactly what she heard as they were ripping her and him apart when they didn't know she was in the room. To many things are always left unsaid. very frustrating
