Thank you for your weecap ! Episode 13 was hard to handle with a humiliated Sun Woo who knelt down for the sake of her son. Episode 14 was such a rollercoaster of emotions. I cried a river during the beach scene. Kim Hee Ae deserves multiple Daesang. Fortunately, the last scene was so refreshing with DK tasting her own medicine haha. I hope Sun Woo will leave Gosan with her son and without TO. Some people thought that he hit his son because he rejected his mother. But the reason his son is insecure and broken is 90% his fault. TO is such a psycho, a selfish man, a liar who does not take his responsibilities and blames others. He never puts himself in question. I cannot understand how Sun Woo fell in love with such a loser LOL.

Yes, this drama continues to slay us every episode. I think Sun Woo going AWOL was exactly what Tae Oh and Joon Young needed. They needed her gone to realize how much they actually need her. What is that saying “absence makes the heart grow fonder”. Well I think that we had a real dose of that this episode because TO and JY realized how important SW is to them I think. Also, it gave them time to reflect on their mistakes.
JY crying had me crying literally especially when he was sitting on the bed eating the stolen chips with tears rolling down his eyes. That poor kid is so lost and hurt and he wants his Mom but feels that she would be happier without him ( thanks DK, cow!). DK has thoroughly convinced JY that his mother leaving would be best . JY is even more confused when he sees his parents making love. I mean if I was in his shoes, I would be angry too, like WTF did you get a divorce for.. This is very confusing for JY and I can understand why he is lashing out at his parents. At this point, JY is tired of being used as the excuse in his parents relationship. This boy needs guidance and all the adults in his life are acting like children.
I actually felt sympathy for TO this episode ( not just because he’s my favorite fool on the show ) but because TO himself is starting to unravel. TO actually won.. he won the battle between himself and SW and did everything he set out to accomplish, her career, JY, and driving her out of town but TO took absolutely no victory in it. I also found it interesting how TO knew something was wrong on some level. Even before Dr. Kim got the call, TO was the only one really worried about SW because he KNEW her.. I think that comes from being married to someone for so long that you just know when something is off. TO called SW over 23 times, went to her house, etc.. he was literally FRANTIC looking for her because he knew she was on the edge. TO looked so devasted when he saw Dr. Kim holding her and SW crying after walking into the sea. Whew, emotional overload guys!! TO hitting JY was his own anger at himself and he took it out on JY ( which he will probably regret). TO was saying the things to JY that he felt about himself and the whole situation. Like I said before, TO cares for DK, he really does but he needs SW. He cant breathe without her. Even when he lived in Seoul with DK for 2 years, he was still spying on SW. There was never a moment that she was really gone for him except this past episode and when she left, he basically was losing it
I actually felt sorry for DK ( don’t hate me) but I understand why the little viper was doing what she did. DK was coming from a very insecure place because she knows that TO doesn’t love her. I think I said in previous comments, JY is the tie that binds everyone. JY means Tae Oh to Sun Woo; JY means Sun Woo to Tae Oh, and JY means Tae Oh to DK. This is why DK was going crazy when JY left and she begged her father to stop him from...

This week is my favorite week. I love our focus on Joon-young. My poor boy is so unhappy and hurting and hating his life, I just want to put him out of his misery. I knew Da-kyung would accuse him of hitting Jenny. Joon-young would never. When his dad slapped him, I shrieked, "Leave their house!! Sleep at the PC bang!" I cried when Joon-young cried on the phone with his mom, "Can you come pick me up?"

I wish Joon-young was the one who committed suicide over Sun-woo's suicide attempt, so Sun-woo, Tae-oh, Da-kyung, Da-kyung's mom, Hae-kang, and Hae-kang's mom can live with guilt for the rest of their lives. Hae-kang can keep his fake concern "I was worried about you," when Hae-kang is at fault for talking shit about Joon-young's mom. "I was the one who stopped the school violence committee." Well, that's your responsibility as his stepmom.

Can we commend Joon-young for going to his mom's house on his own? Thank goodness he didn't see his parents naked.

I would rather relieve that Sun-woo is the first one comes out of the relationship, and get her salvation. It is true that her telling to Da-kyung on herself slept with Tae-oh have some elements of revenge, but I can see her eyes when she tells Da-kyung, she has sympathy to the woman who stole almost everything from her, and experiencing the exact same thing she did experience 2 years ago; this is a way more glorious victory. I always believe the greater victory is not taking back everything you have been stolen (if you can, certainly that would be greater), but you are relieved from all those hatred and care, as Hyun-seo warned her just last week episode, and I am glad that she has finally get to that stage: being free from that mess.

On the other hand, I may have been too kind, but I start to feel pity for both Da-kyung and Tae-oh. They really should wake up, and stop hurting others for their own silly pride. When I hear Da-kyung saying "Everything is so perfect, except ... (and by the way, Tae-oh did say that before, to Sun-woo)" I can see the cycle is still going on, and they both are so silly and sad.

I still have doubt on Yoon-gi (his connection with Dr. Ma whom Sun-woo decided to fire in Ep.2 is one of those reasons: how can he has so many connections?), but looking at Sun-woo being saved, and finally getting care from him is some kind of relief for me. I don't know what is his background, which is still somehow a bit unsettle to me.

Thank you for the weecap! And now Joon-young is telling the parents to be honest with him. But now, he sees how his father bows to Da-kyung's decisions, specially when he was slapped by his father. I feel for Sun-woo when she tried to go to the water - the desperation she felt when she learned even her son hated her ... Ye-rim and Je-hak maybe together but Ye-rim still can't get him out of her life even tho she says they should move on.

Daebak!

I am just going to take a second to appreciate, I mean really appreciate the work of Kim Hee Ae. She is such utter perfection in this role. You can feel what she is feeling with just her expression. AHHHHHHH, this drama is why I watch TV.

These episodes were bonkers. I don't believe for a second Joon Young hurt Jenny, he was probably trying to comfort her. I actually almost felt bad for Da Kyung, her suggestions funnily enough weren't even terrible, but her intention was bad and so everything came to roost. This drama is the most glorious mess. I loved every second.

I admit that I hated Kim Yoon Gi (and all of the drama characters) on last week episodes, he seemed rather suspicious but it's only a misunderstanding (Can we really see him as a good guy now?)

I want him to get a happy ending, maybe a happy little family along with Sun Woo and Joon Young? Or did that not happen in the original show? It's alright if it happens years later when everything is calmer. I think he deserves that much, he genuinely cares about Sun Woo after all.. Don't forget that without him, we won't get to see Ji Sun Woo alive in the last 2 episodes (◠‿◕)

I am not Joon Young's biggest fan but boy, he has every right to be mad. Tae Oh and Sun Woo turned his world upside down by almost killing each other and then Tae Oh got divorced, left them, moved to another city with his girlfriend, had a child, came back, got married and now they forgave each other. This is so ridiculous and frustrating for an adult...case in point...Da Kyung's dad and their neighbours...imagine how enraging it is for a juvenile delinquent. But his response was to direct all of it to his mother as always. This is SK's patriarchy at play, they give father's or son's way too many free pass. And Da Kyung, that sly fox shot herself in the foot. I knew her insincerety bordering on obsession around Joon Young won't end well and that is exactly what happened. Tae Oh is an ass. He truly wanted to carry on being married to Sun Woo while keeping Da Kyung on the side. Because Sun Woo did not allow it, he did what he did and now after getting everything he wished for, Sun Woo out of Kosun, Joon Young in his house, Father-in-law happy, he is more miserable than ever. I get why Sun Woo almost killed herself. She was a hardworking, capable doctor who got humiliated over and over again because of Tae Oh, Da Kyung, Da Kyung's father and adding Join Young to it was last straw. She clearly had a hard time growing up, made a life out of nothing and other people ruined it in a second. Kim Hee Ae is getting her 5th Daesang. But it was like rebirth for her too. Moment Joon Young called on to her, she was back to being lioness that she is. I don't think she meant to tell Da Kyung about Tae Oh and her tales of passion. Its just after all the stunts Da Kyung pulled, that lecture was too much. I think she got angry and just wanted to hurt her back. I am glad. Da Kyung deserves it. Taste your own medicine girl, see how that feels.

To be honest, I stepped away from the drama after ep6. It has nothing to do with the story. The story was fantastic but I just can’t seem to watch Sun Woo not having the upper hands over Tae Oh. I literally binge watched ep7-12 and when last week rolled I was ready. Oh god, this drama. So much emotion. Joon Young is so good at his role. I want to hate him for ditching his mother yet I can understand where he comes from. And when he cried while asking his mother to come and pick him up, I cried too.

The whole scene at the beach was intense. Not a moment of dullness in this drama. With only 2 episodes to go, I wonder how they’re gonna end this. Tae Oh seems like a changed man, I want to have empathy on him yet he’s the initial reason that caused all of this spiral in the first place. It’s satisfying to see him having a realisation of his actions.

And Yoon Ki. They’re not gonna leave him just as a side character right? He’s too good for that!

That was a terrific weecap, @missvictrix. Just so thoughtful and insightful and really, just lovely.

I am so drained. Like I have watched 14 episodes frenziedly for the past crazy, insane weeks. Episode 14 left me exhausted. I feel like Sun Woo, as though I have come full circle, and seen the whole drama finally, for what it is, that hate begets hate, that revenge is never-ending, that love is, ultimately, the only saving grace, the only light in this bleak, bleak drama.

I cried so much in Episode 14. I was crying when she wailed soundlessly, kneeling in the sand. I was crying when she walked out to the water. I was crying when the screen froze on Yoon Jong's tearful face, staring at her. From the moment she heard his voice calling her, my heart started to break. When she answered the phone, and there's a silence, and then she hears Joon Young's sob on the other end, I cried. And when Joon Young stepped into her arms with tears running down his face, I cried again. That Tae oh wasn't the one to save her is telling, he could only stand and watch her weeping in another man's arms. That he walked away was probably the most unselfish act so far. It is obvious that he loves her here. But he has still not apologised to her.

The confrontation with Da kyung is real and painful. We see her crack, and reveal her feelings finally. "I tried, I really tried. I worked so hard." This is what the Other Woman has to do. The moment she steps into the shoes of the ex-wife, it is a battle to win over the children. She has to constantly prove that she is as good as the ex wife to the children. Da kyung tried, she treated Joon Young as an adult, thanking him, but, in the end, she reverted to controlling mother mode, and it didn't work, predictably.

When Tae oh struck Joon Young, it spelled the end of Joon Young's love for him. Ironically, Tae oh said all the things meant for himself. He came across as a selfish jerk, and then he walked away. I thought Tae oh had changed for the better. He hasn't. Why am I disappointed?

The ending was a twist. And just like that, the drama switches back to dark and gritty with the reveal that Tae oh slept with Sun woo. I have a feeling that Tae oh will be left alone in the end. He deserves to be abandoned. He started this, and he deserves to be punished, and left to regret his actions for the rest of his life.

Oh my... Thank you so much for the weecap and the comments! I couldn't watch this drama head-on coz I'm already stressed as it is but the weecap and the comments made it feel like I'm already watching it that even I found it engaging, I actually follow it through you guys hahaha! Looking forward to the last week! Bring it on Beanies! <3<3<3

Thanks for the weecap.

This week's eps were really good. The writing manages all the twists never forgetting to be true to every character's motivations, they are complex, realistic and one minute you feel for them, the next you detest them, then you're back liking them, and yet their actions are always logical. This is a rare quality on kdramaland, I feel maybe people that haven't tried this yet might think it's makjang or too melo and it's none of that.

I'm kind of surprised most posts don't comment on SW being her crazy self. I know she is the heroine but she is much more unstable than TO, though maybe, just maybe, still gets to be a better person. It's doubtful. I was told what she would do and was thinking show would use it for dramatic value but once again drama surprised in a good way, making her trajectory seem like a natural consequence. I liked that last conversation between her and DK because they both get to show the best and the worst of each personality and they are both right and wrong at the same time. Great moment.

I cannot come up with a single scenario where in the end everyone is not a loser - I see no winners in this mess.

Hmm everyone is shocked by the slapping scene. I don't know, I was surprised but I did not think Tae Oh was the most awful person in the World. I knew he was taking his frustrations out on JY and that he didnt mean it. Plus, I have seen kids get slapped, a gazillion times in K dramas. Even by " Good parents". I think Tae Oh is such a disliked character that him slapping JY was the final straw but I felt that what he did was wrong but human, we all snap or lash out at people sometimes. I honestly think he made a mistake and he realized it as soon as he did it ( because he could hear SW words in his head to protect JY). Like I said, TO was unraveling in this episode and so was DK. I mean DK was screaming at JY like a damn maniac without knowing if the boy did anything wrong. I just felt the Adults were at their limits and took it out on JY. No, its not right but I dont feel like what he did was so unforgivable and Lord knows JY needed a slap for other reasons ( the way he spoke to his mother, stealing, fighting in school). IDK, maybe its just me but I am not that mad at TO for what he did.. I don't think it was right but to me it wasnt soooo unforgivable.. 🤷‍♀️

Fingers crossed for an awesome end plsss

It certainly is foul for Tae Oh to slap Joon Young no matter what but yeah, maybe he did it so Joon Young would be forced to run back to his own mother. But, man I felt that shock too when his hand connected with Joon Young's cheek. That's all time low even for Tae Oh.

Also in the same breath of "all-time-low" is Joon Young letting Sun Woo kneel to Hae Gang's family and let Da Kyung solve it for her. God, kid! no matter how angry you are with your mother, you don't embarrassed your mother like that. It's horrifying to watch. I remember he keeps getting into fight with Hae Gang because Hae Gang badmouths Sun Woo and yet here is Joon Young letting his mother kneel. Then we have Tae Oh, offering a hand to Sun woo to rise. Hello writer-nim, are you trying to endear us with Tae Oh because at that moment he is winning me. See, there are lines that shouldn't be cross and Joon Young was just to cruel to his own mother.

I have long wanted to slap Joon Young for the his horrible ways and his disdainful looks he give his mother as if Sun Woo is the lowest of the lowest creatures. I wanted him also to stay with Da Kyun as they deserve each other. The tears he shed when he got slapped by his father and running back to his mother did not move me at all. I may be harsh but I feel he needed all that to finally realize how precious his mother is.

It would be best for Sun Woo to lea e Gosan woth her son to that place where a good job awaits her. I also wish that the ending would give her and Dr Kim a chance to a fulfilling relationship.
