It looks like little Sang-min, Jr. is about to burst upon the scene and become another johnny-come-lately major character. My previous experience with the daily dramas is that a baby always comes along to present problems with getting the right baby-sitter, etc. (even though there's always some grandparents around). The mother is always attached to her career, so I always end up feeling sorry for the kid who wonders who the parent/parents really are. For me this reaches all the way back to little Dan-bee of Missing You. The danger here is that there will probably be a battle over who will be the parents, not just the babysitter. It looks like MJ is willing to maybe give up her career to be a full-time mother, or at least she's entertaining such thoughts. It will give her great pleasure to stick it to JY this way. Remember the days when she kept telling her "I like you"? Haven't seen much evidence of that lately.

I hope they at least let the baby get out of the incuabtor, before he becomes a pawn for the adults.
I have this awful vision of JY giving her baby up for adoption, and we all KNOW who are looking to adopt!
And Sang-min's Dad says bloodlines are important, now. No doubt this will come into play, but what kind of damage control will Min-joo put in place, probably abetted by Hyun-ji?

This from a man who keeps a turtle in a tank on his kitchen table and calls it his "grandson"! Not only is the turtle unrelated to Woon-kyu, and not only is not even human, but it's not even the same freakin' species as him! So what's his gripe against his real son giving the family name to some other Korean human being's kid??
Anyone who thinks Ja-young will give her baby up for adoption, or would even consider it, either hasn't been watching much, or hasn't really thought the matter through. I'm assuming it's the latter for you, Soju, not the former.
I have no idea where the adoption storyline will lead, but I do know it can't be to adopting the baby just born to Ja-young.
Btw...as much as I normally love Woon-kyu, he acted like a real ass today. All of his objections are arguments you could make about people's biological children, so were totally illogical. Plus, no one asked his opinion, it's selfish of him to suggest his son and daughter-in-law deny themselves a family, and it was as low a blow as you can go to make that crack he did about how they wouldn't know because they've never had their own children. Even considering how bad Min-joo has behaved, there's no defense for throwing someone's infertility in her face.
When you think about it, about 90% of the trouble in their marriage has been caused in one way or another by Woon-kyu. I wonder if Sang-min has figured this out yet. If he's serious about making his marriage work, it may be about time to consider disowning his father.

Once again I plead ignorance of Korean culture, but it may very well be that Sang-min will have legal recourse in which to contest custody for his only heir. Certainly he'd love to get revenge on the lying JY this way when he finds out what MJ already knows.

Jade Eyes -
I certainly DON'T think JY will give up her baby!
But I do see the possibility of SM and MJ attempting to get it for themselves.
The bloodline thing came up in "Who's My Love", when Hyun-sik wanted to adopt Go-eun's child, but that Joon wouldn't legally have the same familial rights as would a child he actually sired himself.
Although this may be changing, Korea seems to be a very entrenched patriarchy. It seems like it is usually the older generation that raises the objection, although Hyun-sik's Grandfather was very progressive about it.

...when (if) she learns that this baby she'd so much love to have almost never happened because her husband ordered Ja-young to abort it?
Were I her, I'd certainly be thinking none too fondly of someone who'd want to 'dispose of the evidence'.
