I felt sorry for Seonjae's mom in the beginning when her husband was always yelling at her and seemed mean to her. Now I feel totally different and I WANT to yell at her too. She is the mean one. Poor Jeyong. She is very sweet AND pretty. IMO, she is prettier than Sua because her inner beauty makes her more attractive on the outside as well. Seonjae's mom should live with Grandma and Sua because she is a brat too. The three of them can kiss each others bum.

Dongji is behaving in the EXPECTED traditional way toward her mil - she is from the "old school" - where the MIL was the BOSS - not the DIL. Dongji is very much aware that her husband is treating her son as though he were his own. That is a very MODERN attitude and Dongji appreciates it very much. She does love her son and her brother but seems to be very tired of their irresponsible behavior. She is a gentle person with a loving heart and also a very STRONG WOMAN - she did raise her son by herself, made a living and even LOST money because of her son and brother. She wants desperately for her son to "grow up" and be a responsible adult. It is about time that he quit being an adolescent, isn't it? The grandma and Sua are just plain spoiled and used to getting their own way -- grandma only gave in when she realized that her son meant it when he said he would marry Dongji whether or not she approved -- and would move OUT - Dongji wants peace and a loving family -- she deserves it - neither the grandma or the BRAT deserve any more spoiling - they're already rotten. Perfect analysis… as is Lucy's of "Moochie". Nicely done!

How could the situation possibly be improved if Dongji tries to start disciplining Sua? Is anyone in the house going to respond positively to that, given that Sua calls her "ajumma" like a maid, barely acknowledges her presence in the house, and already (like her grandmother) thinks Dongji is an ill-intentioned usurper? Dongji knows that she has no status in the house until grandma starts giving her some. Would the situation improve if Dongji allows the brat to kick her? Isn't calling a step Mom a maid a verbal slap in the face? Yet Dongji allows her to get away with it. She tells Baekho when he objects to be understanding as Sua grew up without a Mom. Didn't Baekho grow up without a father! And granda has shown that each time she is challenged, she will back off. I think if Dongji shows some backbone, Grandma would have more respect or at least, a grudging respect for her.

It made me so mad when she told Jyeong to leave seonjae.. then she comes home all worriied that she did something wrong ( that is her conscience) and reminds herself that she did nothing wrong and that she is in the right!! What planet is she living on!!! I am SO MAD > ( I just want to shake some sense into her. if somehow they break up and seonjae marries sua out of desperation, i hope she turns more of a brat and makes the mom regret her meddling!!!

She's very materialistic and envious of everyone who has more than she does, but loves being in the company of Sua and her grandmother. She gets so silly over her clothes and jewelry everytime she goes out ;D

That's what Seonjae's mother is working for- she's never seen Sua when thwarted and doesn't know she's a brat, yet. Heh, heh, hope she gets what she wants... Somehow I don't think the family connection will make up for the misery that spoiled wretch will cause her son.

The relationship between Sua & Seonjae has got to fail in the end. What kind of K-drama would it be if it didn't? ? Also, you have to have at least a little sympathy for Jiyeoung. I know a lot of people feel she just kind of stares blankly into space. But, still... Also just to throw it out there, why is Jiyeoung and her family so "common". Is being a vet not a prestigious career in Korea?

I noticed that no one ever pays for the vet services or did I miss it?

I noticed that too, brooklyn. The owner gets his pet back, alwys a dog, always small, never a cat or a bird, and then leaves. No $$ ever changes hands. We lived in rural Central America for a while and the animal clinic there was staffed by vet techs. If your farm animal or pet needed something major, you had to wait for the doc who came around once a month or take it to a bigger city. Vet techs were on the gov't. payroll so we never gave them money. I guess we'd have to pay the doc though.

According to the world of k-drama, the prestigious careers are doctors and fund managers! However in this show, Seonjae's father was impressed that Jiyeong and her Dad runs a veterinary. He said it was an honourable profession and was impressed that they run their own clinic. Of course his wife sneered at that. Obviously, she doesn't have a pet!

i really should read these post more often then i wouldn't have so much to say. Well First Dongji is the stepmother and should she be evil stepmother or be the one to catch those two flies with honey and not vinegar? Dongji knew exactly what to expect when she married her true love she knew it was going to be hell for her and she knew her family wouldn't want to see her being disrespected thats why she was ok with not living with her son at first. She made her bed of love and she was willing to lay in it. She is very considerate and she knows how her son and brother can be and she doesn't want to give the two crazys of the house anymore ammunition to twist things around and say see i told you that son was a gangster, lazy, lying, thief even though the true maybe he was trying to do a good job as always and it got messed up again. That is why she is being so respectful to MIL she knows her son won't be able to keep his mouth shut and so far his been able to get away with saying whatever he wants because the father is there to back him up. Plus he hasn't been wrong but its not making it easier on his mother but like an adolescence they must say what they want when and how they want too. The father has it easy he has a stepson that grew up a little bit and said i'll treat you like a father and the father said because your not giving me a hard time i'll give you everything that my child would have. He know how bad his mother and daughter are and they are a little afraid of him when he really gets angry. But poor Dongji she is coming in with all the strikes against her, wicked MIL, evil daughter, and immature son.
Now for Sua she is spoiled and said herself she wanted nothing to do with Dongji that it was her fathers life that why she treats her like a ajumma she doesn't want to say thats her mother (Sua has issues). I can go on an on about her but i'm suprised someone said that seonjae's mom doesn't know how rude she is she does know she doesn't care she justified Sua's rudeness with the fact that Dongji is not suppose to be living in that house. Seonjae's mom deserves to be yelled at she is always doing the wrong thing. In the first episode she accepted fruit without finding out who it was from its like she doesn't even care that people could be bribing her husband and he falls into a scandal over a box of fruit
My only complaint is something that i feel coming on just like in infamous chill sister when the younger twin stole her the older twins secret love and was so evil. I feel like Sua will never really get whats coming to her, the grandmother either because she is so twisted that in her mind nobody is during her right Baeko gives her a gift and she throws it not thinking its from the kindness of his heart but his up to something. He respects her every day because she is the oldest something Sua doesn't do and speaks to her and says good night. I just really wish that Su-a and Seonjae's mom get reality check they deserve... As far as i can see that is not going to happen and i'm starting to get annoyed.

I think we all have our Jekyl and Hyde. Dongji is gentle and loving but she is also a coward. It is one thing to catch flies with honey but it is another to be a doormat. Silence means consent and Dongji's silence is giving the brat consent to treat her like an ajumma. She might as well wear a sign around her neck "kick me". And "ok with not living with her son at first" was actually a condition imposed by MIL.
MIL - what to say?! Sigh. One good point about her is the way she treats Chan. Children are a good judge of character. Chan is very fond of her so I believe there are hidden reservoirs of goodness we haven't seen so far.
In the infamous chill sisters, the secret love at least was someone worth stealing. Seonjae looks fine on the outside but g.f, would you really want a guy like this? For now, he's Sua's. If someone comes along tomorrow with a better offer, the little gold digger will be off in a flash. So I am uncertain whether to wish she gets what she deserves or whether to feel sorry for her. She thinks she is cool and sophisticated but we all know, she's a brat at heart! dunno why but I'm always reminded of Paris Hilton when I think of Sua. All that money can't buy you character, dignity and common sense!
I eagerly await the day Seonjae's Mom gets a rude awakening on the true nature of her "pure, innocent" Sua (puking as I type!).
