I can't even imagine how this show is going to last that long. I really thought it would end in next week, especially now that Jiyeon and Taesop broke up. Not long ago, I watched an entertainment show that was subtitled where they interviewed the cast members at a farewell party. Brenda, I agree with you about not liking the ending (they talked about it during the interviews, since the show had already finished in Korea). I hope whatever replaces it is a bit more interesting, although I do like all of the main characters (except for both mothers, who should be beaten for acting like selfish infanrs)

happycamper, you make me laugh! I was saying the same thing about both mothers, too.
I believe this drama is about 58 episodes long & ystdy's episode was #48. so I figure it will end in the latter part of november. IMO

The drama is 58 episodes long. That's already been confirmed. I'm not watching HW but if it's on episode 48 then it would end the weekend of November 16 & 17.

Don't think I can handle that many more tear jerking scenes. So far, 3 boxes of kleenex - it's a monsoon of tears and no end in sight. Enough already - Those two are MOTHERS? they are among the most selfish egotistical women ever! I've heard about women like that - they are mothers because they gave birth but their wishes come first and at whatever costs to others - well ... tough! Not the kind of mother you associate with loving and caring - at least in my opinion.

I know, Soapy. Usually I try to have some cross-cultural sympathy for the parents' feelings, but in this case, it's just ridiculous, especially in the case of Taesop's mother. What the hell does she have to say about the issue? Pardon my language. But anyone who can claim her heart is breaking over the fact that her son's fiancee is divorced and has an adorable little girl is just a big drama queen and needs to grow up. Besides which, she just acts like a baby in general, stamping her feet and whining. She's made her feelings known, and now she should think about someone else for a change.
It happens, lady! [addressed to Taesop's mom.] It's 2007. Lots of people are divorced. Not to mention that your son is happy and settled for the first time in his life, the woman in question is a sweet angel, and your wonderful adopted grandson deserves a stable family. Talk about selfish!
I was so glad that Jiyeon didn't shirk from answering "Yes" when that woman asked, "Do you resent me?" Other women in other dramas would have said No.

pippibella,
you're not gonna like it! you know there's no possible way they can get back together. unless something happened, like taesop's mom croaking, ha, ha.
to top it off, jiyeon's mom is not even her biological mom. wasn't jiyeon brought home from an affair her dad had with some other woman?
I just know she's gonna get back with junho for eunji's sake. she's already crying on his shoulder & using him to lie to taesop.
it's gonna break my heart when taesop's son finds out. he's reallly looking 4wd to having eunji as a sister & jiyeon for his mother.
I kind of expected jiyeon's mom to eventually give in, cuz even tho she hates papa, she's seen & talked to him more now & seems to tolerate him. as for her being related to the mistress, now that's her selfish reason for getting in the way of her daughter's happiness.
If it does happen & she lets jiyeon & junho get back together, that's double standards. junho cheated just like jiyeon's dad did.
as far as taesop's mom, it seems like she reallly milks her illness to get things her way, when she can that is.
when jiyeon finally told junho about the break up, it was nice for him to show concern, but it looked like he was fighting back a grin. he probably wanted to explode with happiness!
we shall see in 10 more episodes.

This is my first post but I have been lurking here for a long time! Today I just felt the urge to give my 2cents.
I don't think it is double standards if Jiyeon's mum agrees to her getting back with Junho. There are many differences between Junho and Jiyeon's Dad. 1) J's Dad cheated on his wife repeatedly and Junho cheated only once 2) Dad never bothered to keep in touch with his children but Junho from the moment he knew he had a child wanted a relationship with her and finally, I think the fact that Junho is a great Dad, is truly sorry for what he has done will cause Jiyeon's Mum to reconsider. I believe for her, he is the lesser of two evils!

and besides the mother is NOT the one Junho cheated on, is she? So her "pain" is nowhere near what Jiyeong suffered so it's much easier to "forgive/forget" -- BOTH mothers are insufferably selfish. It's obvious that no one else's feelings is as important to them as their own feelings. Really makes me wonder what MOTHER actually means to these 2 women. Surely not unconditional love.

you said it soapygrams.
these 2 mothers seemed like in the past they would have moved heaven & earth for their children. but under these circumstances you'd think this wouldn't be such a biggy. sure the initial shock & ill feelings would be there, but I also thought that mother's love would find it's way.
it's not like they're criminals or nasty humnn beings.
most of all they've both been through so much, that you would think the mothers would be over joyed that they finally found someone that accepts each other as is.
both taesop & jiyeon are beautiful people, they're healthy, good, respectful, have good jobs, etc.
oh well...

That is one way of looking at it. Another way would be the mothers object because they love their children. They do not want them to be stigmatised by society. If they didn't care, they would not care what they do.
Frankly speaking, I understand their objections. Because of Taesop's and Jiyeon's relationship with their step-father/father respectively, I would not want them to end up together.

One question, 2cents, (and btw glad you finally stopped lurking and started posting ). When you said that Junho only cheated once, did you mean with only one woman? If so, then I guess your comment was technically correct. But the "model dad" cheated with that same ugly s__t countless times, even after his wife found out and had finally agreed to give him another chance. I can understand why Jiyeon couldn't continue to forgive him. In spite of the odd family connection, I still think Jiyeon and Taesop and their children would be much happier together. I'm a mother too, and if my daughter was in a situation like this, with everything that happened in the past, I would deal with my own discomfort and let her marry the man that really loves her so she could find true happiness at long last. Their obstacles in getting society to accept them would be minimal if the mothers were supportive and not such selfish, self-centered bit__es.
