[Current Daily Drama 2016] The Unusual Family 별난 가족 - Monday to Friday 20:25

[sgfan]

Did any one take notice of the wefies in DY's mobile when she was reminiscing about times with DT? 2 or 3 episodes ago. There were only old photos of when they first started working together. in fact they were actual behind-the-scenes photos which the actors took. Based on their appearances, none of the photos looked like they were taken when they were officially dating. Such a disappointment that the writers lack such attention to detail. Perhaps it's just my OCD

I'm with the "DT should go get himself a clue" camp. It's because he's an unsuspecting dolt that he didn't see this happening. Or rather because the writers have made him into a blithering idiot. As of right now, I think that DT deserves SW. Anyone that stupid needs a b***h to tell him what to do and how to put his freaking pants on. And, even better, JR deserves to have the DIL that she schemed and pushed so hard for and to have it in her face that her new DIL is the daughter of the woman who "stole" her husband away, so now she can be in-laws with her ex-husband and his new wife. So, I guess that would make MS an in-law with himself as well. Stupid people who apparently have all that money, but no brains.

Also, even just while translating the preview, I was so fed up with DY. I really don't understand why she needs JR to push her into giving her resignation now. I mean, it is a job, and those are precious, but she had gone on and on about being able to bring local farm products to the home shopping market. Well, now with DT decamped and busy having to deal with fallout, there is no one left to bring these products to market anyway. So, DY is just at Bonjour for the joy of being harassed by JR, SW, and YJ, plus watching her lover that she had pushed away tormented into becoming a hen pecked husband about to face screaming frenzies as the various parents are revealed? So absurd.

Off topic, reading the first paragraph of your post reminded me of a business associate of my niece's father's from Hong Kong. I had the privilege of spending/staying one month in the city state in 1997 before I started my new job. He was a really smooth talker into sales and reminded me to avoid men with three 'vices' when looking for a life partner. The three 'vices' are gambling, womanizing and drinking. He is a teetotaller and said it was important in his line of work to remain sharp, sober and to keep a clear mind when conducting business. However, he has two weaknesses and that made him 'poor' as he could never seem to have enough money. Knowing I am fond of animals, he took me sightseeing one weekend and to my 'horror', we landed up in 'Happy Valley Racecourse (a famous horse race track)' instead of a zoo.

JR and DT are currently swarmed with so many personal issues I wonder if it is 'business as usual' at Bonjour. DT is so distracted I doubt Lanky Guy could be restored as a staff in the head office. Will the plan to build a mulberry gochujang factory in JMR be shelved as a result of a breakdown in the relationship with DY? Or is Bonjour still sticking to the project and contract for JMR to continue its supply of mulberry? I totally agree with you about DY that she has failed in her role to revive the domestic farming industry with her knowledge and 'expertise' in farming. So far there is only one product DT and DY had come up with and promoted. Mulberries are a summer crop that are harvested till late summer. I hope the farmers in the village have processed enough supply of mulberry syrup to last and meet the demand for mulberry gochujang. Wouldn't it be more realistic for them to work on a new product featuring produce from fall/the coming winter? They could embark on a new project to produce upmarket 'kimchi' using the mulberry syrup (a spinoff to the success of mulberry gochujang) to ferment say Chinese cabbage harvested from JMR.

It would be interesting to see how the almighty SW could pull things off should a wedding be held.

Wow sloppy work on the part of the writers. Has DY decided to erase and delete all her photos taken with DT @sgfan? Is DY threatening to expose SW's identity in the next episode?

# I have not been officially diagnosed with OCD but I do have a compulsive habit of washing my hands umpteen times a day.

[Triton823]

 I stopped following this drama about 10 episodes ago....it's getting ridiculous....we are 25 episodes away from the end and they pull this crap DT slept with SW....I for one am going to be happy when GM dies. Her hateful nastiness to DY she deserves her life in hell and I hope that ghost son of hers tells her a thing or two and that will happen. The ghost son will finally tell his mother to simply stop it that it wasn't DY fault he died and it's not. She's been blaming the wrong person this whole time.

Regrettably, DT/DY are the OTP in this drama so they will get their happy wedding which I'm not too thrilled about.

YJ/HR will remain after jail time.

JR/MS....let's just say as Master Yoda would say, "The darkside clouds everything". Here because unless JR learns humility and realize that her pushing her objectives on everyone is not love they won't stand a chance.

MS/SA....I would love to see them together...they have more in common than MS/JR but I put my money on this couple.

I could careless about YJ uncle and MS sister and their showboat of an exsistence.

DT was actually looking at one of the wefies in tonight's episode, sobbing .I'm afraid both DY and DT may just delete their photos permanently, as a sign of trying to move on. They should really take "more loving" photos when they get back together though.

@sk0317 I can't bring myself to think or speculate what may happen tomorrow, as it's all the cliched bad stuff. It'll be a big step for DY if she decides to expose SW's true identity. TBH, I would prefer DY doing it, instead of wishing/hoping for SA and CJ to step in. 

# I was nicknamed "health minister" by my family in my childhood years as I too had a habit of washing my hands many times a day. I still do actually.

Oh no...many thanks for providing the update on the status of DT. I won't be able to watch SJH in that particular scene. I have stopped watching the short TUF clips too. I applaud you for your courage to stay on to continue watching this drama, it's too emotionally damaging for me. I will be keeping my fingers crossed and really hope DY will rise to the occasion for once and unmask the truth behind SW's real identity.

# The winters here are very harsh on my skin and I need to visit a skin specialist every winter as those moisturizers available in the market just don't work for me. BTW I wash the toilets at home with bleach a few times a day and I go through a 1500ml bottle of dish washing detergent every two weeks. You are making me curious...I think we do have a lot in common...What is your blood type @sgfan (not that it has anything to do with OCD)?

I am still watching probably out of habit, since the drama has been running for a few months already. I can't completely stop now 

My household does not run out of dishwashing liquid that quickly, but we do use up tissues and toilet rolls really fast. I tend to clean up stuff anywhere and any time around the home. I'm a A+.

@sgfan

My son, daughter and I use up a lot of lotion tissues especially between February and June as we are allergic to pollen. And toilet rolls also run out very quickly so I buy them in bulk and have a supply/stock 'enough to last me through an oil crisis (according to my husband)'. People around me have always thought I am an A+ but I am actually a B+.

@anbud, I agree with you 100%.  I don't know when it happened, but I no longer dislike YJ as much as I used to. I actually want him to knock the arrogant JS down several pegs. Her husband is falling for another woman while she and HR are going around thinking they can mistreat people because of their money.  I like DT, but he's just too trusting for my taste--childlike. This man could never successfully lead a company because he's not shrewd enough, too gullible. YJ is the only character that comes across as a man, although greedy and selfish, still a man.  DT's father, if he can put JS in her place, will also be more manly.

The problem with this drama is it's flat. What I loved about Daring Women, although it had lots of angst, there were a lot of moments when the bad guys had their schemes blow up in their face......loved it.  That's missing in this drama.  Again, I'm loving the conversation on the thread more than the actual drama.

@valsava, I will say that the opening for this drama has always made me question if DY and DT would end up together. I always got the impression that she would end up with  YJ (since they are shown as a couple in that clip) or she would end up with no one. They could have just had her standing between DT and YJ, instead they had DY holding YJ's arm.

Chello All, @anbud & @lclarakl  I think we all look forward to Yj bringing down JR and behind it HR, I'm looking forward to him telling her to stay home and stop coming to the company because it's nothing there for her to do but cause trouble, Then using work as and excuse not to come home while she pouts and blow her fuses.. LOL I have to ask don't YJ owns part of that company he has transfered to China ?  I just hope gullibile Grand Pa open up his eyes to whats going to happen if not a time I wish he sit back and watch is now until he blows up at JT and HR because they are the cause of all the mess thats going to go on betweent the house and the cvompany and both HR and Jr nice going you both manage to run both husbands away and HR this will be your second divorce grow the hell up..

Jr will try and use DT to do her bidding but if DT was smart he would take the opportunity and go back into the movie business it's a sure way to get rid of Sw she's not going to be stuck with a struggling wanna be movie director I can see her wanting him to cast her as a lead in a drama so she can meet the next hot guy to try and make a name for herself but she want because she's to dunb and evil for that..No but DT will stay and fight YJ which he won't have time for Sw and her nonsense so him falling in love with her like she thinks isn't going to happen sure he may try and date her but he will be calling her DY.. LOL 

Also I just don't see DY and Dy will be the end product of this drama, If I was DT I wouldn't care to come back to her a lot of his and her problem could have been avoided if she had told him who Sw was from the beginning  This is going to make DT think that DY and Sw played with his emotions and seems like all of this was a set up  He's going to feel both niece and Aunt can't be trusted and angry at the both of them..

To some, it might sound cruel or mean for calling little GJ a 'brat. But from the preview, her facial expression showed disgust and disrespect for the older GJ and her father after seeing her dad hugged the older GJ from behind. Has she forgotten how the older GJ was hospitalized and risked losing her baby after she pushed her and caused her to fall out of spite? KC not reprimanding little GJ was also a factor for little GJ to continue behaving like she always has been, that is just like a 'brat'. I would think little GJ would only learn to be a little more careful when dealing with the pregnant older GJ had she suffered a miscarriage. And are we not surprised nobody in the Gu family has thought it was the ripe time to tell little GJ about the GJ/KC's relationship, her half-sibling and the truth about her birth mom (including leaving home, abandoning her and KC and her terminal illness). Little GJ keeps running back to her mom each time something disagreeable to her happens. What happens when her mom is no longer around? YJ's mom will replace her birth mom as a sandbag/cushion of course. Epic fail for the Gu's as they are practically helping to mold little GJ into a version 2.0 of SW.

@sk0317  No I don't find it cruel at all, Thats really calling the kettle black because that just what LIl GJ HR and SW are brats I think somebody should take a belt to her backside.. I'm all for talking to children but being disrespectful to and adult is a no no we were never allowed to do this no matter what the situation is and certainly not allowed to but into adults business they have let this lil girl get away with entirely to much. WHOOP HER BUT PERIOD   TBH maybe someone is telling this little girl to be this way..

I still think that DT will be liberated from SW's clutches by SW's own greed.

In ep. 116, YJ has already bought a large block of stock in Bonjour through a straw investor.

My theory has always been that SW will follow the money and YJ after he ousts the remnants of the Sul household from Bonjour/

Also, call me a Libertine American but I fail to grasp how SW could have a lifetime claim on DT even if the "one night stand" had occurred, since by her account it occurred with her eager consent.

In real life, DT would go back to the bar and ask the bartender how he came to leave the bar.  The bartender would know, since somebody would have had to settle DT's tab before he left. 

@jimb  Thanks for the recap but I didn't read it but appreciate your efforts.

I agree I don't think DT will stay in Sw clutches and it will be her on greed that bring down her downfall, Sw false pretenses of who she is thinks she has the rights to a life time of DT I really believe she really thinks she's this other persons she's not aand once her mask starts to come off she won't know which way to turn but to her Aunt DY who by this time won't be able to help her..

@valsava @sk0317  Re DY being "book smart," do you suppose the writers have buried a subversive subtext in this drama? SW, failed farm girl and (likely a "C" GPA) high school graduate is totally dominating her putative social and intellectual betters.

SW is a veritable human banana peel upon which the rich and/or smart slip and pratfall in virtually every episode.  

@auntyem A "straw investor" or "straw purchaser" is a front for the actual buyer.

 

@jimb  Both DY and SW have college education I think Sw went to school and got knowledge of being a secty when DY had to quit school to help SA farm.. This was another thing YJ mom didn't like about her because she lacks education and they household don't have enough money, She didn't want her son having to contribute to a house full of women one is old and the other on her way.. But DY never graduated from college..Sw learn to be domineering is because she knew from early on she wanted to be rich and leave the enviroment she lives in and she seen and been around the elites in school due to her looks.. She learned these skills from the elite class in school first hand..

I still don't like YJ mom I didn't like her from the very begining..I still think Sw will get preggo with YJ brother

Episode 118 preview translation.

 

GJ: It’s okay, so give it to me.

KC: You did this, didn’t you?

Brat: I’m not talking to dad!

KC: Gong Ju! (talking to the brat, not the pregnant woman)

Woman: Rumors are flying around the market that you, Sam Weol’s mother, are having an affair with a married man.

SA: Why do you give up on a person you love because of Sam Weol? Do you really think that Sam Weol will be able to do well with the Director? 

DY: You, with that fake identify, how long do you think you’ll be able to continue with the Director?

SW: Are you threatening me right now?

DY: Don’t you have to reveal your true background?

 

So, did it finally hit DY that SW is using her lies to get close to DT's family? Is this another fake out before DY becomes completely stupid again?

Many thanks @stroppyse for translate previews. You are very kind.

I don't want to think SW's real identity will exposed after she's married with DT and DY or SA won't do anything about it. Where is the real LSR? Aren't there pictures on magazines about the rich family SW intends belong? What happend with the stocks that YJ have bought? Is JR's business in bad state? There are many questions and their answers will appear until what moment?

Thabnks @stroppyse  And it's about damn time DY hit Sw with the truth this is why I think she will say she's preggo to try and seal herself in that family.. The only way for that to Him she has to get preggo because DT knows to becareful around her from now on.. So Yj brother has to come to her rescue..

[jimb]

My non-Korean speaker's take on the Korean language version of episode 117:

# DY leaves her house to talk with The Beast, formerly known as DT. He is abashed. She is unforgiving. He says, you want to break up, we're breaking up. She looks disappointed but says nothing. He departs. She cries.

# DY enters her house. She and SA chat briefly before DY retires to her bedroom.

# DY sits in her bedroom and weeps.

# Grandfather, Juran, HR and YJ are talking in their living room. Juran shares the latest news about DT and SW. Grandfather is suprised. HR and YJ are stunned. Juran is smiling ear to ear.

# DT enters. HR informs him that he is now in a relationship with SW. Apparently this is news to DT. DT mutters his nonconcurrence and heads for his bedroom. Juran is no longer smiling as DT departs. She smiles again and wiggles her eyebrows after DT is out of sight.

# YJ rushes upstairs to confront DT before he can enter his bedroom. YJ prosecutes. DT pleads guilty and enters his bedroom.

# YJ enters his own bedroom and looks discouraged. HR joins him. HR rattles on. YJ regards her with irritation. HR rattles on cheerfully. YJ does not share her good cheer.

# DT sits in his bedroom looking forlorn. He looks at a picture of himself and DY on his cell phone and weeps uncontrollablys.

# Morning breaks over the Bonjour building.

# DY is sitting down at her desk looking forlorn. YJ enters the office looking concerned. He relates the latest news about DT and SW, in case DY has forgotten. DY bids him, "Bug Off!" Before YJ can catch his second wind, Mr. Han and the Gossip Duo arrive.

# The Gossip Duo greet DY. Mr. Han begins sucking up to YJ. YJ beats a hasty retreat. DY looks discouraged.

# YJ enters his office. His cell phone rings. Dramatic music swells in the background. YJ barks orders and rings off. YJ summons his World Conqueror expression.

# DT is sitting in his office looking forlorn. DY arrives and hands him some work she has completed. They converse mechanically. Of course SW enters. Does she have any work to discuss? Of course not. SW smirks at DY as DY leaves the office.

# SW makes herself at home and goes on at length re: DY. Her face curdles. Her face smiles. DT listens, as it is his duty to dol She smiles and displays her professionally whitened teeth. DT makes a lengthy statement. SW's face darkens. DT flashes resentment, then whines at length. SW leaves DT's office in a huff. DT has a headache.

# Juran is sitting in her office. There is a knock on her door. It is SW, of course. Likely, SW goes into her childish "Your son won't give me any ice cream" routine. Juran commiserates. Likely SW goes into her "rich suitors are lined up around the block to go on blind dates with me" routine. SW and Juran plot. Juran wiggles her eyebrows. A plan has hatched.

# SW leaves Juran's office as Mr. Choi enters. Juran speaks seriously and Mr. Choi looks concerned as he responds. Juran responds to his response with surprise. Mr. Choi, per his assignment from YJ, alleviates her concern. A new topic is discussed and both look uncomfortable. Juran looks concerned and talks to herself after Mr. Choi departs.

# SA is sitting in her bedroom looking Serious. She recalls a conversation with MS. She begins to cry but her mother in law calls for her.

# DY's mother is dressed and preparing to leave the house but apparently is not having a "good" day. With effort, SA dissuades her from her planned adventure.

# SA runs to MS's house and enlists his assistance.

# MS visits with DY's mother and brightens her day, as we have seen many times before. The Village Representative rushes in and is indignant.

# SA and the Village Representative step outside the house and argue.

# CJ and his parents are working in their store. They are apparently discussing something Important. Big GJ enters and they all talk cheerfully. Big GJ leaves and KC enters bearing a bag of food.

# KC enters the kitchen where Big GJ is washing dishes. KC hugs Big GJ. Devil's Spawn enters the room and expresses her disapproval. Birth Mother is at her heels.

# Birth Mother and Devil's Spawn are in their bedroom. Birth Mother makes a show of alleviating her daughters concerns, but no real effort. There is further thrashing about, as per usual. There is additional emoting from Devil's Spawn.

# DY enters Juran's office. Juran is lookng Grave. Then Juran puts on her Happy Mask and wiggles her eyebrows. Juran recites Section 1-A of Bonjour's Sexual Harassment Policy: "If any employees are involved in a failed romantic relationship, the woman must leave the company." DY looks resentful and says little. DY leaves the office. Women CEOs are so crucial to assuring full gender equality in the workplace . . .

# Juran sits in her office looking like she has just been slapped with a wet fish.

# DY is walking slowly down a corridor and begins to weep. DT appears. DT starts to say something to DY but thinks better of it.

# Instead, DT enters Juran's office and says something to her. She rasps. They shout at each other. She informs DT that since "Lee Sera" has marked her territory, the rest of him must follow Ms. Lee to the Altar. Juran is upset that DT, whose last memory of the night was resting his head on the bar, does not respond well to this news. What Juran has decreed, let no man put asunder. DT leaves her office looking dumbstruck.

# DT is walking down a corridor as YJ rounds a corner. They argue. YJ looks smug. YJ is smirking as he walks off.

# DY is sitting at her desk looking preoccupied. The Gossip Duo are at work. They all leave Mr. Han alone in the office.

# SW is walking down a corridor talking to herself. DY rounds a corner. SW speaks snidely. SW snorts and rattles on. SW triumphantly takes a cell phone call from DT and flounces off, leaving DY alone in the corridor.

# SW enters DT's office and makes herself at home. he does his duty. She is pleased. She looks to the future with enthusiasm, he less so.

# DY encounters DT and SW in Bonjour's lobby.. DT looks resigned. SW shoots DY a look and grabs DT's arm. DT looks confused. They all stare at each other. DT and SW walk off. DT looks like he is taking the Final Walk Of The Condemned Man. SW shoots DY some serious side-eye as they continue walking. SW is the "Richard simmons" who got the cream.

# DY is sad as sad music swells in the background.

TO BE CONTINUED . . .

@jimb thankyou for the compliment once again.
Also I am glade that @sk0317 liked my summary of the show so far. Am sure that I must have missed a few points. If anyone wants to add them be my guest.

 

@ To bad that you didn't like the swordfishes that you bought but here is a suggestion for you (clearly joking by the way) how about using the sword part of the fish to stab some of the annoying characters of the show. Thus money well spent. Perhaps save some for the writers of the show. It just might snap them to their senses. . Also in regards to that encounter that you had with the smoking elderly lady who suggested that one shouldn't smoke while still smoking. I would suggest that you give her a pass. I know one should practice what they preach and all but the problem is that smoking is quite addictive and even if she wants to do so now it might be quite hard for her. When she started she may not have realized the after affects of smoking until it was to late and by the time she decided to drop it it must have been to difficult to do so. So now the best thing that she can do is warn the younger generation from the vices of smoking and all. Perhaps that is her way of righting her wrongs.

 

I wanted to bring a question that suddenly struck me recently. It was mentioned that the new spoon in town aka Mr. Han is also surprisingly from the States as well. So I know that it is kind of a long shot at the moment but is it possible that he just happens to know the real Lee Sera and that he can be one of the people to expose March's deception and all. So if this is indeed the case then why hasn't he already exposed her for the fraud that she already is. A good question indeed. But if I were to hazard a guess is because he doesn't know any of these facts or the lies that March is claiming to use. The family name Lee is quite common in Korea. Can't say the same for Sera but regardless at this point he may simply think that this may just be someone with the same name as the person he knew. As for the lies that she is claiming to be the daughter of the president of Felmont (or however you spell that name) he won't know because lets face it March isn't really telling that to everyone. The only people that do indeed know this would be Dong Tak and his family. The most that she claims is that she to is from the States. So unless he overhears these lies or perhaps Young Jae tells him for some reason he has no reason to out her secret as he doesn't know it.

It was also mentioned that when you are rich everyone wants to be your friend but if you are poor no one wants to hang around you (poor Chung Jae). In response to that we have to remember that Dong Tak sort of did exactly that. He kept his identity a secret from all his co-workers (due to his orders from his family) and they only managed to find out during his sisters wedding and all. It was for this very reason that March wasn't interested in him at the start and all and she only got lucky because she hadn't been outright rude to him at that time that she could maintain her friendship with him after it was exposed. She nearly was rude to him and all but just to keep up her facade of being a nice person and all she managed to hold it in and all. Unfortunately Dong Tak wasn't the smartest person in town so he never figured that out. Infact he still hasn't.

 

@sk0317 mentioned that Dani generally gets tricked by all these people and she can't seem to read all the schemers around her because she has lived in the village most of the time and she was only surrounded by the villagers. An interesting theory but I think that it isn't fully accurate. Even if we don't count the time she studied in Seoul I wanted to point out that March also lived and grew up in the same village as Dani yet she has turned out to not only be so twisted yet she is also a master schemer as well. On top of all this I believe that she has never left the village till now and her first foray into the big city was when she first came to Seoul and all. March had always dreamed of leaving her small town and humble livings for life in the big city but never got the chance till she stole that money and moved over there. Atleast that is what I grasped from her conversations with her friend before and after she arrived in Seoul. Though I may perhaps be mistaken in what I remember. I guess March learned all her tricks from watching Korean Dramas and all back home. She clearly had nothing else better to do over there as we know for certain that she wouldn't have been interested in farming or that her grandmother would have let her do any even if her mother may have asked her to help her and Dani around.

 

There have been some suggestions that perhaps all is said and done we might just get a Young Jae and Dani reconciliation and all. This being a drama is anything possible but if this was real life then I would find that a bit hard to believe. What is the old saying Once Bitten Twice Shy or something like that. Dani has not just been burned by Young Jae's betrayal but also badly hurt as well by it. Infact even now Young Jae has been telling her that he not only still has feelings for her but that if she were to wait for a bit longer he is going to make things right. Yet she isn't interested in any of that. Granted at that time she was in a relationship with Dong Tak and he was still married and things can clearly change down the line but as of now she as told him that even if he were to get a divorce she wouldn't take him back. Also why should she even do that what guarantee does she even have that he won't leave her in the future if a better offer comes up for him. Infact even now him wanting to leave his wife for Hyeri isn't a good sign especially considering the fact that even a year hasn't passed since they got married thus what guarantee would she have that he won't do the same for her. No as of now I don't think that she will ever take him back. Perhaps they may become friends again in the near future and all but before that happens she will need to get on better terms with Hyeri and all. The only way that is going to happen is if either Hyeri starts to trust her husband or realizes the real Kang Dani is. Such as realizing that she is not the type of girl that Sera or even her mother is making her out to be and most importantly that Dani is not interested in Young Jae anymore.

 

Someone also brought up the point what is Sunae going to do now that Dani has broken up with Dong Tak will she be okay with March dating him and all since those two aren't together and all. I think that this might be a bit tricky to say but if she were to somehow agree to March and him being a couple you can be sure that she is going to insist on March telling him the truth of who she really is and if that doesn't work I do believe that she is going to reveal her identity to him herself. After all what March is doing right now no matter what she says is that she is throwing her back on her family because she is embarrassed about her own family and background. I seriously doubt that March is going to actually go and kill herself if her identity is exposed. Though I am sure to hide her face from embarrassment and all she would then try to slink back home to the very family that she turned her back on. If this were real life one could be sure that said family would also not take her back and all but this being a Korean drama and all they would not only forgive her for all that she has done but also forget all about it. So basically she wouldn't have learned a thing and she would only be taking a small tea break while plotting her next plan to get rich quick and all.

 

In regards to the Aunt and Uncles current living relationship I just find it not only wrong but weird as well. Infact I can understand her brothers objection to it as well. It is unfair on her to make such sacrifices and all. The uncle needs to clean up his mess properly no offense to him and all. He is letting his Ex stay with his daughter and she should therefore take all the wins that she can get. By this I mean that the uncle should ask her for that divorce and that she should sign those darn papers. In return I believe that it would be more than fair for her to spend her remaining time with her daughter under his families supervision and all. LoL I have to say that as of now he is only lucky that the adultery laws have been removed in Korea because otherwise the Ex could take him to court and win a ton of money and then use that money to not only raise their daughter on their own but as well use some of it on her medical expenses as well. Plus the uncle thinks that with the aunt living with them Gong Joo is going to get on better terms with her. On one hand that logic does make sense but at the same time he is forgetting to mention an important detail to her as well namely that her mother is going to die and that he is never going to get back with her. So all the time that those two spend together will only be full of resentment and all. Heck at this point the kid may very well think that her mother got sick because her dad was having a relationship with her teacher and that broke her mothers heart or something close to that. Keeping such a big secret from the child is unfair not only to it but to those around her as well. I could forgive the uncle at the start because he wasn't aware that he was still legally married but once he discovered he should have made his wife sign those papers no matter what even if he had to take her to court and all. Now I do understand that he tried to do that in the past before he found out that his Ex was ill and all. At that point he should have made a deal with her that if she were to sign said papers he would let her live with his family so that they could all look after each other and all. A fair trade in my opinion and something that she was sort of willing to do in the past. Such as sign the papers in return to have their daughter for atleast 3 months. I would say that the same deal should be applied here as well but this is better since she gets to be with family (something that she was trying before finding out that he loved someone else). Plus after 3 months it won't really matter and all but in those 3 months the uncle can do so much more such as marry the aunt and all. Frankly if they wait for the Ex to die it will already be to late for the aunt because she will start to display her baby bump and all and thus she is going to be the talk of the town. Even if she were to get married later on it might be hard to explain to her kids why they were born so early after she got married and all. People in that house are just being plain selfish and dumb or both. Plus how do they even manage to live in that small house. The parents clearly share the same room, the mother and daughter share one room and the last one was being shared with the uncle and Chungjae so where does the Aunt even stay? Also in the past weren't the two brothers sharing the same room so that would likely mean that there isn't an extra room and all at all. Unless I remember wrong and Young Jae had his own room. But that doesn't make a lot of sense as of now to me. If anyone would have his own room would have to be Chung Jae since he is the eldest and all. Regardless where is the Aunt then staying. Since she isn't married she won't stay in the same room as the uncle. Plus her sharing a room with two males is also not going to happen. The other place that I can think of is with the Ex, Gong Joo and herself. But that is going to be one awkward living arrangement to say the least. This would only leave the parents room then. Perhaps the dad has left the room and shares it with the guys. I guess he doesn't want to hear the drama that his wife is going to come up with next and all. So he is taking a 3 month break from her

 

Okay points to those that called the drunk and sleeping in bed incident and perhaps the fake pregnancy stunt that March may pull. If March is truly devious she may have covered her tracks well so even if Dong Tak were to try and investigate what happened that night and go to that bar she may have already paid them with some story that favours her and all. Then again she might not be such a clever person and all. Regardless of all that I guess it was understandable that Dong Tak would do what he did. That is try and send her to clear things over with Dani. Unfortunately he isn't the smartest person in town. Normally that may very well have worked but in this case it would have been more than foolish since she has clearly told him how she feels towards him so why would she let go of such a perfect opportunity and all. I guess because he may believe that if she truly loves him and all she will think about his happiness after all if the person that you love is happy then so should you be even if that person isn't you. Unfortunately K-Drama characters just don't seem to get it and live with the mentality that if we can't have said person then no one else can either. It also kind of does make sense for him to send March to clear things up with Dani from his perspective. The problem is that the longer you leave these problems be the bigger they become plus they also cause bigger misunderstandings down the line. So the obvious solution would be to resolve them ASAP but he would be under the impression that Dani would be mad at him and wouldn't want to see him or listen to his explanation and all. In that case he would send the other party that was also involved to clear up the matter and all. Thus they could go back to their happy relationship and all. It might have been better if both him and March went together to clear up the air but he might have thought that she wouldn't listen to them if he was present and simply walk away. In that case he thought that it would simply be better if he sent March for that meeting and all to clean up the air and all not realizing that the main person that was back stabbing him and Dani's relationship is his so called friend.

 

To be honest I have never gotten the theory that these K-Drama characters seem to hold that if character X were to never enter the picture the other lead would be with them or better yet that if Character X were to suddenly leave (due to their own choices or under pressure from the 2nd leads and all) that the lead would suddenly and magically fall for the 2nd leads and all. So Dani's so called sacrifice for her niece doesn't make any sense. Infact just to prove them all wrong it would be amusing if Dong Tak were to fall in love with someone totally different. Not that Psycho March would let that happen. Ha it would be amusing indeed if that other person would just so happen to be the real Lee Sera and all. Though this being a K-Drama and all true love would eventually find a way to be together and all thus D & D would end up back together somehow. Perhaps Dong Tak wouldn't want a criminal to harm the company and thus break up with her and all.

 

Now I know that Dani may seem like a habitual quitter and thus tends to quit things whether that is work or a relationship when things get to tough for her and all and then she needs Dong Tak and all to persuade her to come back. Apart from her current breakup for dumb reasons I don't know if I can agree with that. In the past her reasons seemed to be quite sound. The first time that she showed that she wanted to quit apart from her relationship with Young Jae which I will get into later on was when she tried to quit her job the first time and Dong Tak had to go and persuade her back. In that case she had not only just broken up with her boyfriend for 5 years. But also that same person in said time was also getting married and that to with someone she knew (sort of) Having to then see her Ex on a daily basis would have been hard on anyone. Yet she manage to eventually overcome all that and start another relationship and be happy for the time that it lasted atleast. After this she nearly broke up with Dong Tak when March told him that she had feelings for her and all but she changed her mind at the last moment when she saw Dong Tak was more than willing to get on his knees for her sake. March then had to then pull out the big guns for her to finally to back down which frankly we can all agree was dumb. But to be honest I am surprised that Dani didn't break up ages ago with Dong Tak and run for the hills and all. The one time where she nearly broke up with him she was constantly abused by all the females around her yet she hung around for quite some time. But this relationship as @jimb as suggested was a whole lot of pain and suffering for her. Sure it was a great thing that D & D managed to hold out for so long even with all the hardships that they were so called facing and all. But if we are to be honest it was basically her who suffered the most. All the pent up frustrations that those 3 ladies had due to their own problems or shortcomings they took it all out on Kang Dani so she was not only slapped or verbally scolded and what not but also had her hair pulled at one time and all. During all this time what exactly did Dong Tak do or suffer. As to what he did was simple he was almost always late to the party sometimes by a few seconds and others by a few minutes to find out what Dani just suffered and all. He would then go over to her and comfort her and tell her to trust him and that he would take care of the matter. Though in all these 120 episodes or so he has come up with nothing. He did suggest that he would either leave home or cut all ties with his family to be with her. But lets face it Korean society holds the concept of family quite high and thus Dani is never going to go with it. Something that he should have figured out on his own nor will his family allow it. Granted he is an adult who can make his own choices and all so they really can't stop him over here. While I do agree that moving out on his own to avoid conflict between Hyeri and Young Jae sounds sound in principle it falls when you consider the Korean Society issue once again. The problem over here is that Dong Tak not only being the male of the family but the only male (thus the eldest) has a whole lot of responsibilities to fill. Such as between Chung Jae and Young Jae it will be mostly upto to Chung Jae as the eldest to look out for his parents and all. They will certainly expect help from Young Jae as well but mostly it will be on Chung Jae. Unfortunately as Dong Tak is the only son he can't easily leave home to start his own family and all. Plus it won't help for Dani to live apart from his family as this way they would never get closer to each other as well and Dani fully knows this and that is why she wants the blessing of his family. Regardles of all this the most Dong Tak is currently facing is perhaps bad terms with his family but because of that Newton's 3rd law of motion is being applied which is that for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. So in this case everytime he stands against his families wishes or gets them mad they tends to take it all out on poor Dani. So in other words Dong Tak is the one that is making it harder for Dani and all.

 

Granted Dani can save a lot of her misery by revealing the identity of March but she is simply to kind to do that and now that she has been guilt tripped she really isn't going to do that anytime soon sadly. What Dong Tak should be actually doing is to make his family see Dani's true value to help her cause but that is going to be hard to do as long as they have March to continuously whisper in their ears and poison them against Dani so even if Dani does something nice she will be painted negatively and all. Perhaps D & D and come up with another hit product. So far the only thing that the both of them have come up with is the Mulberry Paste. A One Hit Wonder and all but compared with Young Jae's past achievements this is nothing. In this case I would hope that Dani would come up with another brilliant product and all that can help the company and all. But the problem over here is that she is only in a two person team or is it just one now that Dong Tak has become a director and all. If it is just a one person team she can still pull it of perhaps because if they come up with a new product and even if it is Dani's plan you can be sure that Juran isn't going to see it as that way and she will try to give the entire credit of working to Dong Tak rather than acknowledge that Dani was successful. Then there are a few other problems that I can see that no matter what Dani does they will still not accept her. In this case if thanks to Young Jae they are placed on the street or the company is in danger and all and Dani were to try and help them does anyone think that they would be grateful for that. The way Juran is currently I suspect that instead of taking Dani's good intention at face value she is going to think that Dani is only helping them because in reality Dani is looking down on them and mocking their current status and all. The only way that I can see them slowly opening up to her is if March is not only exposed for who she really is but what she is as well then and only them may they perhaps be willing to give Dani another chance and consider that her actions may actually be genuine and all. But till that happens we can be sure that Dani is going to silently suffer some more because after all that is something that she is good at doing so.

 

After watching episode 110 I think if I was not mistaken when Juran came to reveal that she was married to Sunae's mentee and for her to back off I am actually surprised that she and Dani didn't bump into each other. Lets take a look at what happned it was only a few seconds after she left that Dani walked in. As was also evidenced of how Sunae was in shock and the grandmother had just gotten to her and all. In such a short time frame I find it hard for Dani not to have bumped into Juran. Now I could understand if perhaps Juran had walked in the other direction when she left and Dani came from the other side so it would have been possible for them to miss each other according to K-Drama near misses rules and all. But the problem over here is that the house Dani and company live in is at the corner. Meaning that there is no other way for Juran to leave but the way she came in and that would mean that she would have to have bumped into Dani if we are to make any sense and all. Perhaps at the last moment the lights of that area went out but since Dani has been living there for such a long time and all didn't need to see where she was going and all thus missed spotting Juran in the Dark and all. Does that even make sense? Really if anyone has another idea of how they missed each other I am all ears.

 

Well now before I leave I think I will add another YamiYugi Special. Hope that you enjoy it.

After getting the address to the shop where March sold his watch Dong Tak heads over to it. Surprisingly the watch is still there.

Dong Tak (Surprised to see it): Excuse me Mister where did you get this watch from.
Owner: It is a fine item indeed. You sir have a good eye and for you I will give you a good deal.
Dong Tak: No I am more interested where you got it from.
Owner (realizing something is of): Look if you don't want to buy it you can leave.
Dong Tak: Sure then you can answer to the police why you have stolen goods with you. But if you cooperate with me I will let you keep it.
Owner (having no choice): Well if you say so it was sold to me.
Dong Tak (suddenly interested) he then starts to fumble in his pockets trying to find his phone only to realize that it is missing having no choice he still decides to go ahead with his investigation.: By who tell me everything that you know about said person and don't you leave a single thing behind.
Owner (thinking back): It was a pretty young girl who didn't seem to know the watches true value and so she asked me to buy it for almost free. I was glad to get such  a good deal that I bought it from her.
Dong Tak thinks to this description and tries to match it with what he knows of Dani (to him she is a pretty young lady so that bit matches and then we get a flashback to when he fought with Dani regarding the price of the watch when she claimed that she had lost it. She at that point said that she didn't believe the cost that he was telling her regarding his watch thus indicating that she indeed had no idea regarding its worth as well.) Please note that if he had his phone he was planning on showing Dani's photo to confirm if she was indeed the person in the picture. Unfortunately now that he is going with this description he is starting to believe the lies that March just told him regarding Dani.

Next scene we have Dong Tak rushing to Dani's home to have a little chat with her.

Dong Tak: Dani we need to talk.
Dani: What is it why do you seem so angry? What is wrong?
Dong Tak: Can you even say that to me. What lies will you come up with next I wonder.
Dani (Confused): What are you talking about I don't understand you?
Dong Tak: You lied to me about losing my watch didn't you. I was right all along about it wasn't I/
Dani: I did lose it why would I lie about it.
Dong Tak (angrily): Don't lie to me I found out the truth. You didn't lose it but you sold it because you needed money. Then you pretended to lose it and for what a stupid dress.
Dani (Even more confused): I really don't understand what you are saying please be more clear.
Dong Tak: Oh so you still want to pretend fine in that case know this I found out the shop that you sold the watch and he told me that you were the one that sold it to him.
Dani: So you believe a total stranger than me. I can't believe you. We may need to reconsider our relationship then.
Dong Tak: Ah so this means that our life drama is going to get an extension and we need to break up. But you can't break up with me because you need to hold onto your breakup counts. Let me be the one to breakup this time. You can try and persuade me of your innocence till then. Not that I will fall for any of your tricks and all. So good luck in that department. Also when I consider everything the watch wasn't the only thing that you lied to me about was it.
Dani: Why aren't you making any sense today. Did you have to much to drink or something.
Dong Tak: No I am totally sober for now but I might just drink later on till I pass out in frustration. But lets talk about your lies since we met. First it was the watch and then you lied about your relationship with Young Jae by pretending to not know him and then finally you pretended not to recognize your own niece because you were ashamed to do so and you were jealous of her and her becoming successful isn't that true.
Dani (Throwing up her hands in frustration): You know why I never told you about Young Jae because it was none of your business we weren't an item then and only became one after you found out and as for not telling you about March well it wasn't anything to do with me being ashamed of her or being jealous at all. First of all I am actually proud and happy that she is doing well and as for not recognizing her it was because she didn't want it to be revealed. As for the watch I told you the truth I did lose it the owner of that place must be lying to you that I sold it to him because he doesn't want to get into trouble for admiting that he stole it.
Dong Tak: hah that doesn't make any sense....
Dani: Fine believe what you want I am done with you till you come to your senses. Meanwhile I will go and enjoy myself with first trying to talk with my Ghost Brother who might just answer my questions for a change and then after moping about for a bit I will go and watch some Korean Drama to hopefully life my poor spirits. KBS World has some good ones I suggest you go and watch it as well. Perhaps there is a show about a tailor shop that might be to your liking.
With that Dani leaves Dong Tak with a puzzled expression wondering what just happened. Meanwhile in Seoul in a cafe March is looking over Dong Tak's phone and is even trying to gain access to it but to no luck. It is then that she bumps into Chung Jae over there who has come to make a delivery. What will these two talk about? Will she finally manage to crack Dong Tak's phone code and if so what will she do with it. To find out please tune in next time.

 

Well that will be all from my end for the moment. So till then take care all of you and keep posting.
