Gentleman dignity who is colin father

I totally see your point and I do agree with you, especially the amnesia thing and the producing written episodes on the fly.

One writer actually fainted of the drama "The Chaser" on the set I think, and couldn't write the last episode. That's how bad it is. I wonder what it would take for them to change how things are done for all involved, not just the actors and actresses who are already run into the ground with the filming schedule. It also lessens the quality of the drama and I wonder if they realize that and care about that.

Some people find it that "good" message is much prefereable in dramas and movies they watch to make these dramas and movies leave something in them after they watch them. Like these writers have powerful weapon in their hands but not using it to make the world better lol.

They got me rolling my eyes for sure :p. But you know there're so many reasons why people watch drama and movie. Hi, totally agree with you that there are many reasons why people watch dramas and movies.

I can relate to that. Kim Soo-Roo's hair is so much better up! I feel so bad to have to choose between friend and sibling How are Me Ahri and Yoon going to work to get their approval. They are a bigger hurdle to their relationship than Tae San in my opinion.

My favorite scene was between Do Jin and Colin. It had so much heart. Seeing Colin cry and reveal his hidden feelings and worries was very moving. Yes, I agree. I loved that scene as well. I actually wanted DJ to hug him, a la 1N2D, but maybe it was too early in their relationship? I feel the actress who played Me Ah Ri could've done so with so much more depth because she's a very natural actor. She's perfectly capable of moving silent tears yet she always decides to literally cry in wails like a baby which is okay maybe the first time and in sorta less serious moments but for pivotal scenes?

It doesn't work and it doesn't go a long way in making us like her. She isn't an adult yet, she's a petulant teenage girl and I don't think she's ready to receive for be Yoons love. I was honestly disappointed she didn't go to America and since her characters so childish and underdeveloped, I would've preferred a more open ending for them.

Oh well. If the director or writer thought that the wails and the immature acts weren't fitting for the character, she could have been directed to do otherwise.

I don't necessarily think this is the actors fault. She's a newbie, on top of it all. Also, considering the construction of the character is so. Writer, what possessed you to think that you could destroy MeAhri, a potentially amazing character. I love the Yoon-MA storyline, but with no character development, how the eff are we supposed to like her?

Or even sympathise with her? Three years could have made all the difference. No, I won't even be selfish, 1 year! Just so she can find a job or idk do something for real?

Such a shame because the actor is capable of so much more. Personally, every single actor was wasted on such a sloppily written drama. Even Do Jin and Yi Soo were going in circle for a while. Ship her to America indeed. I was really disappointed when Yoon came to the airport. All this lead up, and they're going to ship MeAhri back to America so she can do a "2 years later" return as hot, sassy, successful and awesome. But no So far, seems like the person with the most depth is Min Sook.

But wish we had seen her more vulnerable state earlier on, not just crazy bitch wife from hell. How the hell did they get married in the first place. Yoon, please look at me!!! I'm a little bit older than MeAhri, but am still young! And I don't have an older brother who will have a problem with our relationship! Please, why don't you like me? The only korean words I really need are "Oppa Saranghae! Love conquers all!

I'll show you and visit you at work uninvited. You'll see!! I can't live without you! LOL, that was good, really!!!. I was going to fight you over Yoon I am closer to his age but I look young , but your spiel was so good that I would let you have him.

Am I not generous :-? Please let us know how things go between you guys :-! You're not going to fight me over Yoon, are you? Then what are you doing looking all chic, mature, and more age-appropriate. You sly fox! And then there's Meahri, outcrying me!

She took the lead when I took a break to get some water since the tears had me feeling dehydrated. You are so funny!!!! You cracked me up No, I will be gracious and benevolent and will let you have Yoon, as long as you let me know how things are going between the two of you, and they better go well, if I am letting you have him You should read some of my raves about Yoon in the last few recaps and you would see that I feel about him the way that you do, and I REALLY like that he is closer to me in age and single.

May I ask is that scene supposed to be funny? I thought Korea is crazy about football.. I think it's because Do Jin used the suffix "hyung," which in Korean is used by a guy to an older guy to show respect for being older.

So Do Jin is calling him "hyung" to show respect for his awesome soccer skills, regardless of age. Thanks for that explanation, I didn't know that and assumed that PJS was actually older. This is what happens when we don't have all the info details do matter, don't they, to make the experience of watching a Kdrama more complete.

I wasn't really impressed by the first 2 episode of this drama but I have to say the storyline really picked up! The interactions between the characters are really refreshing to watch.. I am so glad Yoon actually finally confessed sorta!! We are already near the end and I wanna see some genuinely happy moments from him MA I admit needs to grow up a little! Or a lot..

JR and MS story is interesting!! I really wanna know how they actually got married in the first place because MS is kind of a no nonsence lady and JR is kinda full of nonsence..

TS and SR are kinda boring for me dunno All in all this is one really entertaining show and I am glad I continued watching it even though I really didn't like the first 2 episode! Hi UJ, I agree with you on 3. I now wonder how and why they got married in the first place. Wish we could find out before the end of the drama. So many fillers in these episodes When they could really be spending the time to do something substantial Yes, finally there is some plot development and I m so glad that at the end of the episode Yoon confessed her feelings to Me Ari!

I have been waiting for this for 17 episodes and I can't imagine and take an open ending for this couple, so yay,relieved!

I agreed with all of you that Me Ari's character is undeveloped and tbh other than her persistence and sincerity I don't see the reasons for Yoon to go to her, it is a shame but we gotta rmb that both Yoon and Me Ari are supporting characters so having this level of attention may already be a bonus I believe there will be alot gping on bt Yoon and Tae San.

TS is not gonna approve this relationship and I really hope the writer can just spend a little more effort on Me Ari so we as the audience are convinced she deserves Yoon's love and Tae San's forgiveness.

As for the rest, I m glad that Jung Rok and Min Sook's storyline is finally getting more screen time; and I hope to see on Colin, please. The main couple Hi Suet, I agree with you on all that you said. You have taken the words the ones that were left out of my mouth About the hug LOL, must be the cultural thing and don't forget she must be shocked at that moment and they must have had some editings as to leave us with some imagination for the next episode LOL I'm sure she will hug her back!

Probably no :. Didn't make sense. I would not be that shell shocked that I won't hug back. I would be appropriate, but I would hug back :-! Me too, a fan of KMJ now, and I didn't know him before. I can spazz over him and not feel bad. He is in my age range. So, if it doesn't mirror real life and we know it , why are people getting so upset?

I know it's because they get into the show, I understand, I do it to. Still, I want Yoon to have a happy ending Yea, all I want is Yoon to be happy, so if it has to be Me Ari in the show I would just give her to him, regardless of the underdevelopment of her character. I just keep telling myself she will grow up LOL. Not sure if anyone notices, but Me Ari did not contact Yoon after the park scene, she phoned her brother and text Yi Soo before her departure; she did hope for Yoon's appearance at the airport but when she realized he was not going to show up she looked relieved and decided I think that's a good side of Me Ari Don't wanna spoiler anyone but I've watched Ep18 so hopefully you will find more plot development to convince yourself of this relationship :.

I have watched eps 18 and was still a little disappointed in Me Ahri. But I have high hopes that she will be a doting, adorable wife to Yoon if it ever gets that far.

This is one case where I would like the show to have a time jump at the end so we can all say, Yeah, look what a great couple they are! Hi KL, I am glad you are so positive about this couple, because personally, they are my favorite mostly because of Yoon.

I like your scenario, and I wish we could see that too her being a doting wife and an accomplish bag designer. I do want Yoon to be happy as well. I expressed that at length in my 5th paragraph in my long comment at 5. And yes, I did notice how MAR handled the rejection, she seemed to be ready to let Yoon go and then he showed up, so that changed things and might explain why she was so shocked, she didn't expect him AT ALL to come. I have also watched episode 18 as well and know what happens there.

Didn't want to spoil anyone here. I think viewers do like to see characters earn their happy endings. It's just more satisfying than having it on a platter. If everything gets handed on a platter, then there isn't much of a story. And while in dramas, we can accept surreal situations like time travel and a chaebol falling in love with a near homeless gal , I think character motivations should be grounded in reality and should be explained if things get a little twisted from majority perception.

What does Yoon see in MeAhri? What does MeAhri see in Yoon? She only in it for his looks if so, admit it What about him makes her heart go thump thump thump?

And what does Yoon see whenever MeAhri whines and cries? Does he think it's cute and that her saddened tears are the most beautiful droplets of liquid ever? MeAhri can be annoying, but I think she cries beautifully.

Asianromance, so well said, all that you said and I appreciate that. I tend to write a lot, so I will just say "Thank You! I do want characters to earn their HEA and some sense of common sense or at least logic in a drama, so I understand I agree, too. Furthermore, saying a drama doesn't have to make sense because it is "just a drama" is a total cop-out; no one ever says that about tightly written, logical shows with good characterization, LOL. It's only sloppy shows, like this one, where people feel they need to justify the whole mess by labeling it entertaining fluff.

I was a little sarcastic when I made some of my comments because I have learned that I have to lower my expectations sometimes if I want to enjoy a drama. I do say that those dramas are different, and when I happen to see one, I rave about it.

I wish there were many that were like that and I am sure that there are a lot of good Kdramas out there , but we also know that many of them aren't, or that they start out great and then, poof!

I do think that this drama is entertaining and fluff. No heavy thinking required in this one, and my heart doesn't literally break because of the scenario like in some other dramas. Just my two cents. Even if Yoon was never married I believe he'd reject them being together, though probably not as adamant as is in the drama now. I think his rejection stems more from their 2 decades old friendship than Yoon being a widower. Though I'm not a guy, I totally understands how the guys here value their friendship, perhaps more than their love life.

It's no mean feat to keep the bond between four people going on so strong for so long. Maybe because I value friendship over romantic love. And MeAhri is his baby sister.

Being her self appointed protector it's only natural that he'd want her to be with someone closer to her age, never been married, without that huge an emotional baggage as Yoon carries.

All these aside, I cannot, cannot, cannot stand MeAhri. She's annoying to the core. Her whining and immaturity is not going to get Yoon anywhere near happiness even though he admits he likes her too for goodness sake, is he having some father complex here? I absolutely agree with Orangy that she's never sincerely sorry for anything. Someone in a previous recap was kind enough and knew enough about South Korean culture and mentality to explain to us that being a widower is actually a big negative in SK and makes a man and a woman, I think much less marriage material.

It really has value there and that is one of the things we see and learn by watching this drama. So TS cares about the friendship, but he doesn't want to go against the social constructs, even though he does believe that Yoon would be good for his sister. JR and TS have a conversation about that. I do think that the guys value love and want each other to have a great love life, which is why they support and help each other in that department.

They have bailed JR in front of his wife many times, and encouraged DJ or at least wished him well in his relationship with YS. Yes, they value their relationship with each other , but they do believe that love is important I think. I do think that MAR is actually sorry for her actions, but she doesn't change in her behavior, and that is the problem. It makes it hard to believe her when she constantly cries and constantly acts up. Negative not necessarily being bad, but negative meaning less attractive.

For many reasons. I don't get these extreme drama fans and their comments. Have they actually paying attention to the previous episodes? If yes, how come their comments sometimes show that they have that illness jangdonggun character has?

Memory loss. Or have they been skipping episodes? I also think that there are PLENTY of intelligent, mature, accomplished professional people who also happen to enjoy a good or even bad! As a matter of fact, rather than being people without a life, I think many commenters have incredibly full and varied lives.

And this is a spot where we can all complain, or "rave" or fangirl if we want, without feeling silly or threatened. In my book club, the books that get the best discussions are ones that are divisive. If we all liked the same things, or came from the same place, life would be boring. We all bring our own individual history.

Also, as a shout out to the many fans from the US or other non-Asian countries, it is difficult to understand what all the fuss is about with some of the issues in these dramas, such as being divorced, or with a child, or two people of one family not being able to marry two different people of another family.

So sometimes one needs to be patient with us! If in my mind the couple needs to show some "skinship" for me to really feel the relationship, I hope I can say that without being judged! You will be welcomed here as openly as everyone else, but I am just sticking up for my fellow dramabeaners who I've come to love even though I've never met them! I see that this is the 2nd time that you are responding in a negative way it looks like to one of my posts.

I will come back later to respond, because I have a lot to say, and I feel a long post coming up. I just can't respond properly right now. But know that your post elicited a lot of thoughts in my mind.

I will reiterate that it seems that you don't read most of our comments properly, and you don't seem to understand why we come to blogs such as this one. Thank you for sticking up for us who appreciate blogs such as this one and for REALLY sticking up for many of us who are non Asians and yet love Asian dramas and as a result for some of us have developed a genuine interest, curiosity and love for the countries and their cultures we have been exposed to, through those dramas.

We have had so many questions answered here, about the dramas but also about so many other things. We have made connections and some of us have actually met and interacted in real life.

Needless to say that blogs such as this one have helped create connections and sometimes friendships that we didn't know we would have coming in. It is nice to have a place where things that you don't understand can be spelled out for you, patiently, without being made to feel stupid or ignorant.

That means a lot to me, personally. I am really glad you are participating in the comments, KL. Because of DB, I have connected with you. One only needs to delurk, and who knows what can happen? Every so often, we do have people who don't understand the purpose of blogs such as this one, and it is a reminder of how appreciative we should be of all who put so much effort in bringing us recaps and news articles about the South Korean entertainment world and who take the time to explain the culture and mentality of that part of the world to us.

Thank you again, KL! I will be back later for more, because believe or not, I have more to say Are you surprised :-? Ugh both actresses cry so annoyingly [email protected] Yi Soo is such a whiny baby for being 30 something years old. Why would Do Jin even like her? I had to forward her crying because it was grating my nerves. My only fav part was Yoon grabbing Me Ahri at the end They hardly even flirted with each other throughout the drama for crying out loud!!! I think they should have developed Yoon's inner persective more And some flashbacks to the olden days would be a nice development for their relationship, like their tutoring sessions when Me Ahri was in high school or something which is when she falls in love with him.

The potential of this couple. I think Yoon genuinely loves MAR. I think that he has known her for a long time since she was born and that his feelings for her have developed since his wife passed or since she came back from the US that might be more accurate.

That scenario happens in real life too. That would have been a nice touch and an extra layer to their characters, a welcomed one at that. So am I the only one grossed out with this whole Me Ahri love story with her father's best friend? I mean, he's pretty much her uncle.

I'm sorry, but I find it really weird. I can't help but forward all their scenes. I'm glad someone mentioned it, I feel the same way. It just doesn't feel right because she acts like a child AND he is like a very much older brother. This show was already shallow to begin with and I was okay with that , but the Yoon-Me Ahri loveline is just too low for my taste.

I like the point that TS isn't going to find a better man for his sister than Yoon. It's not the end of the world. What is she better off going back to the US and falling in love with some artsy guitar-playing part-time waiter because he is the right age? Because he is at the same maturity level as MR? Age difference doesn't matter if it doesn't matter to the couple. I agree about the age difference. It would upset me to no end if my remaining unmarried daughter hooked up with a man damn near my age!

Oh yes, would have a fit! I wished she had gotten on the plane and that there was a time leap so she would have come back to Korea as a matured,confident, independent woman. Instead they have made her into a immature whiny crybaby who can't even handle her credit card. She does an ugly face when she cries and wails like a baby.

Gross and a turn off. What does Yoon see in her? Didn't like Yi Soo's whiny baby crying either. Just irritates me when something doesn't go their way, they end up crying instead of trying to find a solution. They don't act very mature, and their behaviors are really disgusting. I'm happy for everything thats happened with Do Jin and Yoon finally admitting his feelings But I hate that all this time Meahri hasn't changed one bit and she still gets to eat her cake. She is a 24 year old child and it bugs the living hell outta of me that she hasn't grasped that it isn't her brother that has to change but herself.

I'm totally dumping her and Yoon unless something changes. Weak,whiny woman are a K drama staple, dumb, ditzy or desperate. They Sometimes develop a backbone by episode 16, but the spunky ones are very appreciated. But 35 and 40 year olds do not date like teenagers. I cannot stand the cutesy from a thirty something woman. Ivoire, see I think Me Ahri has great potential to be a good wife, but will we ever see it? Sometimes I think they could be perfect together, and that he sees her pure heart, but other times I wonder if he wouldn't be afraid that she'd act up in public at some point.

More than any other pairing, I really hope the writer leaves us with a good resolution with this couple! I sent you an email, FYI. I will read your post, or the one you mentioned. I really questioned what the writer had in mind when she wrote MAR. Notify me of new posts via email. Giving you updates about Burning Lovely Untouchable Emotional guys!

Do Jin comments to clear away the expensive glasses first.

Oh wow. Quite the traditionalist. Meahri and Yoon gets up to leave with wedding preparations in mind. Yoon asks Meahri if she had a dream wedding, but Meahri says that her dream wedding was always just marrying Yoon.

Min Suk is eating lunch at a restaurant when Jung Rok walks in. Min Suk accuses her two employees of telling Jung Rok where she was. Smart lady. Jung Rok comes to tell her that Meahri and Yoon are getting married.

They should get Yoon and Meahri a gift. Should they do it together or separately? Jung Rok thinks they should get one present because they decided to get married before the two of them divorced. But Min Suk says she submitted the paper this morning. Do you know how much I pay in taxes? JR: Who did it? MS: The laywer probably did. MS: I went then. JR: The husband and wife need to go together. Jung Rok says that Min Suk went from being his woman to being the woman he wishes he had.

On his way out, he apologizes to Min Suk for making her suffer in having loved a guy like him. I really want you to be happy, Park Min Suk.

Dong Hyub asks, what kind of bastard is he? Dong Hyub asks, how do you know? Have you seen him? Oh, the irony. Before Colin says anything, they see Sung Jae the guy that Dong Hyub had bullied into transribing the books for him getting beat up by 4 other people. Before Colin can say getting involved would be a bad idea, Dong Hyub and Sung Jae are already lumbering over to intervene. Next thing we know, Do Jin is pulling up to the police station to claim his son.

The dad smacks Dong Hyub upside the head and starts scolding him. Poor kid. Sure gets hit in the head a lot. When Do Jin asks Colin who hit him, he points at the other group leader. Do Jin claims custody over both Colin and Dong Hyub. Dong Hyub thanks Do Jin for helping them out. Do Jin goes to see Yi Soo and tells her that he really feels like a dad, having to claim guardianship over his son.
