I hate myself for it, but I guess I'm just an old softy from way back. When I watched Sang-min sitting alone at night by the lake, then breaking down and sobbing as quietly as possible in his hands, I broke down too and blubbered like a baby.
I don't know how I can feel sorry for this guy. All the misery besetting him right now is all of his own making (though MJ is all too happy to lend a hand). Still, I can't help it...it's just so sad to see the total wreck this guy's life is...I could so much feel his pain. Major kudos to Kim Ho Jin for an award-winning performance that was utterly heart-wrenching. He always hits the bull's eye, IMO.
One thing I don't get is how he could defy Min-joo so blatantly on something he knew would be completely intolerable to her (she warned him repeatedly it would be), and now that she's taken everything away from him and he has nothing left to lose, he goes along with everything she says as though he was a spineless, mindless, willess slave. He's like a broken-spirited, whipped puppy and it's painful and pathetic to see. I think if she commanded him to lie down across a set of railroad tracks and remain there until a train comes along, he'd do it. Probably w/ no argument either.
He used to be somewhat contemptible. But now he's just a pathetic, pitiful character. It's impossible to feel anything for him but pity.

Yeah, I just knew somebody would say they felt pity for SM. I am one of the "cold ones" who would rather cry for a dead worm and not for that fellow.
Yes, he is pitiful, but it's not because anyone forced him into anything. The gift we as human beings have is the ability to say "No" and the ability to look ahead to evaluate and weigh the pro's and con's of situations.

"So shall ye reap what you have sown." Count me in the anti-pity party for SM! So what if he's blubbering like a baby now that he's lost his family and career? Does it make it "all right" if he's miserable? This is a guy who ambitiously dated the boss's daughter/new head of the company (and we have only his word that he actually fell in love with her), even though he maintained an apparently loving and sexual relationship with his fiancee of many years. User! This is a guy who told his fiancee it was over -- just like that -- and when she told him she was pregnant (like he had nothing to do with it) told her that he wasn't falling for that old ploy and to get rid of it. This is a guy who hounded JY about the abortion and dragged her to the hospital to make sure she had one. This is a guy who thought nothing of calling JY up even once he was married and telling her what to do. This is a guy who promised to form a loving family with MJ, even knowing she wasn't able to bear him a child, and agree to adopt. This is a guy who promised that he would have nothing to do with his biological child, not just promising his wife, but his step-mother-in-law and step-sister-in-law. So, now that he's broken every promise he's ever made, we're supposed to feel sorry for him? Wah, wah, wah Not! I can only feel sorry for Yuna, but not so much that I think it's right that she grows up in a household were the man doesn't have the huevos to hold true to his promises! Whew! I feel better now for that little rant.

Maybe I'm just evil, but seeing Sang Min in such misery makes me giggle. I love seeing Ja Young's happy family together, and then SM's life falling apart. Aah, sweet justice ;D (although poor Yuna takes some of the fun out of it )

I hate myself , but I guess I'm just old , I broke down and blubbered like a baby. Jade THIS IS PURPOSELY DIRECTED AT JADE EYES!!!!!! I AM GLAD YOU HATE YOURSELF BECAUSE AFTER THE THINGS YOU WROTE TO ME AND ABOUT ME ON THE MESSAGE BOARD, YOU SHOULD. THIS IS HOW BAD WHAT YOU WROTE SOUNDED--ANOTHER FAN FROM ANOTHER BOARD PERSONALLY WROTE ME (AND I HAD JUST BECOME MEMBER OF THAT SITE A FEW DAYS EARLIER) AND TOLD ME OF YOUR VERBAL ASSAULT. SHAME ON YOU JADE! IT SEEMS WHEN YOU ARE BEING PUT IN YOUR PLACE YOU DON'T TAKE TO IT KINDLY. AND, WHEN IT COMES TO OTHERS HAVING A LITTLE GIGGLE AT YOUR EXPENSE, THAT SHOE DOESN'T FIT YOUR FOOT TOO WELL. YOU WERE RUDE TO AVALON AND YOU OWED HIM AN APOLOGY. YET, INSTEAD OF DOING THE MATURE THING, YOU FELT IT WAS OK TO CALL ME NAMES IN PUBLIC DOMAIN. I HAVE NEVER MET YOU BEFORE, BUT AM TRULY ASHAMED OF YOUR BEHAVIOUR. I WOULD TELL MY CHILDREN TO CROSS THE STREET IF YOU WERE COMING THEIR DIRECTION. I PRAY THAT YOU WERE NOT FORTUNATE ENOUGH TO HAVE CHILDREN, LEST YOU POISON THEIR LITTLE MINDS AND SPIRIT, WITH YOUR OUTRAGEOUS AND PUBLIC DISPLAY OF THE EVIL CONTENT OF YOUR SPIRIT. I HOPE THAT CALLING ME NAMES AND SAYING SUCH THINGS TO ME, WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR DAY! USED TO BE READING THE MESSAGE BOARD WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF MY DAY, BUT LIKE THE SAYING GOES ALL GOOD THINGS MUST COME TO AN END. THIS IS MY LAST POSTING AND VISIT-THANK YOU, ALL THE FRIENDS I MET THROUGH THE BOARD, ESPECIALLY YOBO. THANK YOU BOARD FOR YOUR TIME-- "CHILDISH MORON", QUOTED FROM 10/03/03 POSTING FROM JADE EYES UNDER THE TOPIC OF MIN JOO/ SANG-MIN'S CRUELTY, HOW MUCH MORE CAN WE STAND?--INDEBWETRUST

Wow, IDWT is gone Where else will we find someone who will respond to a flame exchange which has been dormant for 3 weeks by plopping down seven paragraphs of all-caps invective into a completely unrelated thread? The skies are grey and our breakfast tastes like ashes. Or is that because I burned the toast again?

Oh Humble Student, please don't be so hard on little DEB!
She couldn't flame me any sooner than 3 weeks...she's been in-patient in the clinic all this time and just got out. Unfortunately, the voltage on her electro-shock therapy was a little too low and she has to go back in for re-adjusted doses.
We wish you the best for successful treatment Little DEB and hope you can become a productive member of society someday soon. It's truly miraculous what they are doing for the mentally ill these days. Best of luck to you...
Jade

Actually, I was initially prepared to cut Ms. Deb a bit of slack, on the assumption that she was merely an overenthusiastic newcomer. Give her a little time to settle in and know the people on the board, I thought, and she’ll be okay.
Nope . . . and once again, the great Mikey is proven a nitwit. Deb’s attempt to re-ignite a long-extinguished flamethrowing contest (and doing it with the written equivalent of an atomic bomb, no less) just wasn’t cool. My thanks to Humble Student and Jade Eyes for blowing it all off with such good humor.

Watch what you say there, Mikey, and let this be a warning to you and everyone else....if you "put me in my place," I may not "take kindly to it" (the way the mature DEB does when she's put in her place), or if you have "a little giggle at my expense, the shoe may not fit me." In which case, I might just unleash the evil content of my spirt in an outrageous and public display that will engulf you and poison your little mind and spirit.
Also beware that in 18 days time, Little DEB may re-emerge from her dormant state, read this thread, discover your vicious "verbal assault" against her and she may zing you w/ her powerful, cunning wit that cuts and destroys like no warrior's sword ever could. Can't you see, I'm still reeling from the ferocious verbal blows w/ which she smote me?
I hope she was only kidding about not posting here again. I mean, her total count 13 posts were such a valuable contribution to our discussions, it would be so grievous a loss not to have her wisdom imparted here again. I will miss especially her confusion over what constitutes a spoiler, and the ALL CAPS postings...they were such a pleasure to read.

Hello, again,
I received a noticed from a concerned fan, so I thought that I would peek in and see what she was so irrate over.
And, I must say that poor little Deb has finished her shock treatment is back for more witty banter. Ok Jade, so when you post a humorous paragraph or two about some one on the board it is all fun and games, however, in response to a one line giggle joke I get called a "childish moron". I can see the cosmic fairness in that. It is called a double standard.
Three weeks late...I don't get to the board as often as others but I was alerted to these postings and responded in the fastest time possible.
Yes, I must say the humor here cracks me up. Since poor little Deb has no feelings, I guess it is ok to say anything you want. Maybe I should follow the example laid down by those before me and start calling other people names, or write witty satire designed to inflict pain, If I don't like what they have to say. I mean it is acceptable, to do these things right? No matter how you make the other person feel.
Hello, Mikey--yes I was a newbie , so newbie that I still can't find it any where on the fan club site, except in individual postings that this site is specifically for those of you in chicago and that there is a difference in time zones. Thank for trying to understand.
I might have responded differently and maybe not at all if some where officially on this site it warns people that they are about to enter a fan site that is offset in time to others. When I was directed to this site I thought it was the only one of it's kind. I didn't even know other people across the country were receiving the same programming. And I certainly didn't realize there was a time difference. I didn't know that from the beginning and still didn't know until I read JE personal message to me on the board( three weeks later). Personnally I never posted any spoilers, I merely responded on behalf of some one being lashed at in an unreasonable manner. That person accidentally posted a spoiler and consequently he was berated and called names on a public board. I didn't feel that was a nice thing to do. So I became advocate.
But, clearly I can see, that bad behaviour on the board is more preferable--seeing as soon as I decided to permanently leave the fan site, mean spirited things were said with JE at the front and the assumptions that no one reading the board would be upset, bringing up the rear.
Well, as you can see, I am gone but not forgotten. If you write it--some one will tell. And, hopefully, someone else, besides me, will also decide that this is unacceptable, bring it to your attention--I heard it somewhere, Folly is bound in the heart of a child, but the rod of discipline will drive it far from him.

And, now that I understand the general atmosphere of the board, I feel quite at home. And,if it not too moronic or childish of me, will someone please direct me to a site that is related to philly program timing. Thank You for your time-INDEBWETRUST

Usually folks who resort to calling others names are themselves VERY immature and insecure. This has been an object lesson for all of us that without mutual respect there can never be true communication. Instead we have witnessed vanity, arrogance and disrepect on this board. So Deb, I agree with everything you have said and more. The wise shall triumph!

This has gone on far enough and completely off topic from the original post so therefore this thread is now closed.
