DESTINY-FAMILIAR FACE

[door60]

I agree. I would be so angry. Some of the story lines in this show are just far fetched, like not telling your spouse that your child died. I don't care what culture you are from -- it's just outlandish!

[northwest]

I agree with you, door60. I don't understand at all keeping the death of your child a secret from the other parent. Unless there was some extenuating circumstance - like the other parent was in a coma! I think that in the story, the death was kept from the mom because she was in the hospital with high blood pressure, I think, but still, once she got well, she should have been told, or even if she were told in the hospital, at least she would have been in a safe place where she could get help.

[door60]

Exactly, northwest. I'm watching this show only because I'm addicted to K-drama, but if we had more choices on our area, I probably would ditch this one! There's just too many unbelievable circumstances.

Just a gentle nudge here from the staff:

Please keep these threads On Topic, in this case Familiar Faces. If you want to change the subject, feel free to start a new thread for the topic.

This makes it easier for everyone to follow the conversation. I think one of the best features of this board is the way it is structured, with a board for each show containing threads for each topic.

This is especially helpful if you're trying to find something specific about a character or an event from many eps ago. When there's just one long thread for the show, you have to either page tediously through the thread, or search and possibly get an overwhelming number of hits that you have to sort through.

I noticed a familiar face last week. The woman who plays the masseuse in the spa (who has a minor role ) was in Pure In Heart (I think). She played the woman who had a crush on the man who plays the government worker in this drama.

I missed seeing the spa lady, Door. Do you mean that large and assertive lady who was a great cook and wouldn't leave the Millennium Singer alone?

[door60]

Yes, Lucy!

[Lucy]

Thanks! I'll look forward to seeing her again.

[vix]

I could swear, no idea what the characters name is though, that she was the aunt in my sweet heart [my darling]

[door60]

I think the woman who plays the grandmother in the household of the 3 women was in Wonderful Life as the male lead's mother. Has anyone else seen that drama? Do you think she's the same woman?

Yang Geumseok



was in "My precious Child/My Lovely Family", a show of great potential that failed mightily.

And many of us will always remember Jang Yong



as "Mr. Cha", from the great "So This Is Love". Let's conserve Water!

Jang Young was also in Happy Woman. He was the biological father of the female lead, and the adopted father of the male lead.

Yeah, Goo Hye Sun was in The King & I and is currently working in another drama with Eric.

That would be "Chilwu, the Mighty":

It's funny to see these two married. In Pure in Heart, Pungu was interested in Hye-suk, but she wound up with the grandfather. Very strange.



Played Yi Soon Shin's mother in IYSS and Moo-young's mother in High As The Sky.



Played Young-ran, Eun-soo's ex-wife in My Precious Child and Hong in IYSS.

I'm wondering if the flaky mom who poured water on the teacher is the same actress who played Chae Rim's aunt Ae-ran long ago in "On the Green Prairie." Anyone?

Korean Wiz isn't a help in this case, since I don't think she's got a"Destiny" page yet.

Are you talking about the weekend drama "Happy Woman?"

Is that the actress you are talking about?

She was evil in Happy Woman, and is still evil in Destiny.
