Ah, you guys are being so mean about that cute little guy! I love him. Seriously, he seems older than the girl who plays Yuna, and she's supposedly a little older than him, isn't she? She spends a lot of time repeating words at people, whereas he comes up with complete thoughts and original ideas. Of course, I suppose the writers have something to do with that... Bo

[glow=red,2,300]TEXT[/glow] I've been watching YH for about a year now, and I think it's a very good show. MJ is pretty deceptive, but you have to remember what SM has done.I agree with whoever said that Sang-Min should've been fired. I really do. If I just divorced my husband, and him and I worked at the same place, AND, if I were in a higher position (president) I'd ask for his resignation too. That would hurt me everyday to see his face every morning.

Hey, sorry, I guess it's only galacticchick who's being mean about my little Ji-Min! Sorry, Rosetta. Actually, Rosetta, it seems like ALL children, even grown children, are treated like precious objects in these dramas. It seems it's other people's children who marry into the family who come into line for abuse. Donchathink? And don't you think people in America treat their children in much the same way?--at least until they become teenagers and stop being cute. Bo

Lynn,
If you find that your post is not its entirety is because I erased a MAJOR spoiler that you included in your post. We are in Chicago and I have no idea what episode you are on, but the thing you mention with SM, is nowhere even near our minds.
We are around episode #140 or so. Please be careful, you just gave away something huge that I sure wish I hadn't read. Don't take offense, but I know that a lot of people would be pretty upset if someone had not taken action.

Let's back to the original subject...MJ's cruelty. Mother Teresa she aint. I can't remember a more unsympathetic character except the one played by Joan Collins on Dynasty.

I'm really glad to hear that you caught that post before I saw it, Galactichick! Thanks for removing the spoiler info. Jade You are most welcome. I won't say anything about it except I wonder when and how this "revelation" will come about. The day that occurance happens, this board will have twice as many posts! Back to cruelty though, like I said in another post (another thread), I think that Minjoo truly, honestly believes that she is saving Yuna from having a tainted family registry. In fact, I can almost see why she would consider herself a victim/martyr: she is giving up on her marriage (and possibly happiness) for her daughter, to save her, to prevent her from having to face humiliation or rejection in her adult life. What I don't understand, however, is how Min-joo thinks that being a child of divorced parents (seen very badly among traditionalists if you've watched dramas before) is any better than having a half-brother. Funny reasoning, but hey, it's MJ we're talking about! Oh about the cruel part...first you divorce him, then you invite him out to lunch?

Didn't mikey say something about a really big development hitting around ep 145 or something? Maybe this is what you're talking about. I wish I could think it would be an exciting, happy surprise, like ep. 120, where Grandma Sohn gives her blessing. But somehow I don't think so. I have the feeling it's something kind of terrible (unless MJ gets hit by a freight train). I agree with you questioning the logic of MJ thinking divorce is better for Yuna than having a messy family registry. Not only is divorce probably much, much more taboo in Korea than in the West, bringing a stigma w/ it, but just the extreme emotional harm caused by separating her from her father, whom she adores. (Say what you will about SM, but he has been a good father to Yuna). Furthermore, it's not as though people walk around with copies of their family registry plastered to the front of their shirts for all to see. Who will know she has a half brother somewhere? I don't even believe her concern is over the family registry anyway. I think it just makes her nuts that Sang-min wants to acknowledge a child he has w/ another woman, a constant link between him and the woman that came before Min-joo. Plus, he went against what she said, and she can't have that either. That's not a good reason to trash a marriage when there's a child involved. The lunch invitation thing was classic Min-joo. What a tense and uncomfortable hour that must've been. Hardly conducive to digestion, I wouldn't think. Hardly kind, I think more she was looking for an opportunity to twist the screws in a little farther, hence the warning against coming to the house to see Yuna. That cold-hearted shrew just lives for these things. Jade

I've been watching YH for about a year now, and I've really gotten to know the characters! Yes, I agree with whoever said that M-J is spoiled. She's devious and rotten at times, but then again, there are those few times where she assures us she's human. S-M, well, he's a despicable person. He dumps J-Y for $$$, and when he finds out he has a son, he freaks out and destroys all of his relationships in order to get J-M. What was it all worth in the first place???

[glow=red,2,300]LYNN, READ ME![/glow]
I eliminated a sentence in your previous post, because if you had read mine, I let you know that you gave away something HUGE.
This is a Chicago forum, we are not to the episode that deals with that particular thing yet. Please, please, please be careful.
Next time, I will just let you face the wrath of the other forum members.

Next time, I will just let you face the wrath of the other forum members. Oooooooh man, trust me Lynn, you do NOT want that!!! And my thanks to Galacticchick for her vigilant efforts at spoiler-crushing. The "Age of Warriors" board has gone down the tubes since several people have begun relentlessly posting spoilers, so much so that I've given up trying to educate them about what constitutes proper manners. Too bad. Here, at least, I'm glad Glacacticchick is so actively taking charge of the situation!
