I have just finished the episode and here are my unsorted thoughts:

Granny is becoming my favourite character... and she is starting seeing Hyoshim as her future granddaughter-in-law. 🙂

Oldest Oppa's Wife on the other hand is becoming my least favourite character. Even Evil Aunt vying for the company is more entertaining.

Middle Oppa found his match in Aspiring Actress. I like her more and more.

Not sure whether the 2 Maknaes are a good match, they both seem to be irresponsible and bratty. How can they support and inspire each other?

And I still find Taemin dangerous.

I have very little to say because I watch the show with FF.

- Hyo Shim deserves better and I hate that the family shows like one ray of humanity to lure her back into helping them.

- I like Tae-Ho and it is 90% because Ha Joon is playing him. His face when the owner of the gym said they should cancel his membership cracked me up. I also like his bickering relationship with the FL.

- The SML feels more like ML here. Probably because the SML has everything going on for him - SFL planning to get him, the evil mother and the director title. Tae Ho, meanwhile, just wants to find his grandma and exercise in peace.

Hyo Sung's wife continue to descend into the unlikeable characters. The topping of the week - the argument over the $1000 bill from his mom. The man earns something reasonable as top management in Tae-san but he only gets $300 when he's on his best behavior and $200 when he's not. I'm done with her character and we still have 45 to go.

I scoffed at Tae-min when he turned silently walked out of the gym the first time he saw Hyo-shim as Tae-ho's personal trainer. So imagine my joy even I saw him step into the game thus week. If anything, to put Tae-ho in his place. The reaction from Tae-ho as everything unfolded, especially when the gym owner asked Tae-min if he should take Hyo-shim off Tae-ho's service and back to his - that rude awakening... I liked it.

Last week, a beanie talked about Tae-min's egalitarian nature and I saw how it both endears him to me the more send also how it can easy become a pain. Sadly, we are already down that road. I don't know how Tae-min will react next week if it so happens that circumstances beyond her control made her miss their date not once but twice.

My advice to Hyo-shim : tell him to send a car. That way, he will be aware of any last minute roadblock which I'm already envisioning will rear its gear again.

Tae-hee and Hyo-do. No difference between the two. And, she should get a proper bath.

I'm enjoying this show very much, to the extent that I have spent spare hours doing research on Naver to try to understand what may be in the wings other than the obvious romance (and, for the record, I only began the show because of Ha Joon).

Since the happy ending for Hyo Shim and Tae Ho is fore-ordained, I'm more interested in the plot possibilities and twists of Tae Min/TV Lady and 2nd Oppa/actress. The spoiled baby couple is of little interest - especially after the brat slobbered all over the glass because of a designer bag.

The (deceased) grandfather's role has been cast (according to wiki) - presumably for flashbacks - and I think he will be an all-out, first rate SOB - he treated his eldest son horribly and, of course, flaunted his concubine to all. I think there may be a secret birth lurking in the wings - doesn't every weekender have one?

Meanwhile, filming began FOUR months ago according to ig page of one of the support actors - mostly outside/location, including at least one all-nighter at the Han river - so I hope we will continue to see some great camera work, such as that shot of the inmates at the Villa climbing three stories of stairs.

Granny may be the glue that brings it all together and I really like how the last scene was with her and Hyo-shim. Granny has sacrificed a lot in her life - looking forward to seeing their bond grow.

Next week is 2 Eps ?
Tae-hee, why doesn’t she wash her face ?!
Grandmother is going to adopt Hyo-shim you can tell by the look.
Loan sharks are still a problem as per the preview
Eldest brother needs to get that money back from his wife
Middle Brother and Youngest neither are much help
Crazy Chaebol Mom 😵‍💫🙄
Hyo-shim knocking some sense in to youngest brother ? 🤕
Marriage partner CHOI does not seem evil and I hope she isn’t.
Uee’s dad has to reappear !!
In Ojakgyo Brothers he was supposedly killed too 😂

Hyo Shim need not shoulder all the issues of her family. They are all adults my goodness especially her younger brothers. Her mom needs to be nicer to Hyo Shim and just leave her alone. The brothers especially that nasty student Hyo Jun need ro work for his daily expenses if he does not like being supported by a "mere fitness trainer".

Hyo Seung's wife is just awful and Hyo Seung should divorce her asap for his own peace of mind. Take his son, Phillip, with him and let his wife take care of their spoiled daughter on her own since Rubi is the only one she cares about anyway.

I can't wait for TaeHo to find his grandma through Hyo Shim probably. It looks like Grandma Choi is already softening to the sweetheart Hyo Shim it seems.

Tae Hee outsmarting her mom and attendants was a relief. It would be awful if she gets put in a asylum. Now she only needs to pawn those jewels and wish her mom would get hold of her again.

Episode Five was really a continuation of the introduction, including fleshing out some of the main characters. Our middle brother’s girl next door attended a performance of MACBETH- and was brutally shamed by her ex, but we should note that the part we saw on the stage was Lady Macbeth pushing her plans… which was clearly intended to tell us that Evil Aunt was really modelled on Lady Macbeth, as someone whose ambitions for her flawed husband are limitless. Later we got to see that her husband has a serious flaw indeed- and we learn of the abused childhood that caused it.

Oddly enough learning of her husband’s past makes Evil Aunt not less evil but more human. I can see why the writer has chosen Lady MacBeth as her role model because Lady MacBeth is arguably one of the most complex female characters ever written by Shakespeare.

Street girl Tae-hee has run away from home to avoid an arranged marriage. Our 2FL just joined our 2ML for dinner and made it clear that she is very much in favor of their arranged marriage – she literally had her eye on him even before it was suggested. This last is both positive and negative news for our 2ML: On the one hand she genuinely wants him. On the other, she is not willing to take no for an answer. Was this marriage really suggested to her by her parents or is it possible that she is the one who actually put the idea in their heads? Subtly of course- this young lady is very sharp.

Tae-hee’s (and ML//2ML’s0 Grandmother has become the first character in Kdrama history to make a friend and ally out of The White Truck of Doom (others die- she gets a ride, others die- she gets a temporary place to stay and hide). If I was Evil Aunt I would be quaking in my boots.

Hmmm, nobody comments on that double shower scene? 😁😁
And two fine men tying a tie together? 😁

Maybe there is some hidden symbolism? 🤔😄

I'm loving the girls in this show. HyoShim was a sweetie as always in Ep 5 and has already made a place in granny's heart. So engrossed was she in her family troubles that she totally forgot the dinner with poor Taemin. TaeHee's confrontations with her mother are always so much fun! She is the only one who can get under her skin. And MiRim was such a queen throwing all of that second brother's bs back in his face. It will be fun when these three fiesty girls become friends.

Looks like the main romance is finally starting next week. About time too coz our leads have chemistry but hardly get 5 minutes of screentime together. The shower scene of the chaebol brothers showing off the result of their labours in the gym did somewhat make up for the lack of romance though!

Looks like the one episode a week thing is here to stay. Arrrrrrggghhhhhh.
The demands from the mother (Seon Soon) if what Hee Joo said was true, were unreasonable. It sounded like she was just harassing her son. If true. Hee Joo taking the money his mother gave him and wanting to keep it was beyond evil. Knowing his wife though, wth was Hyo Seong thinking, leaving the money lying around?
I couldn’t help feeling sorry for Hyo Shim, seeing all the pressure people were putting on her. I would’ve snapped by now.
I was so glad to see Mi Rim(?) taking Hyo Jun down a few notches. Richly deserved.
I agree with every beanie commenting on Tae Hee’s appearance. She needs a bath pronto. Lol
Seeing Tae Min being stood up made me think if he’s the villain, they’re not doing a good job of making him look like one. I hope Hyo Shim has the opportunity to explain and apologize.
Hyo Shim beating up Hyo Do was the highlight of the episode for me. I rewound and watched it 3 times 😁 The sight of him cowering at the sight of her afterwards was hilarious.
