Yeah, it is productive, it provides fun and entertainment. I have to laugh though, this is becoming a reall controversy.
I think there are huge differences. Tango Girl doesn't throw fits and threaten others around her .
Didn't she threaten to throw herself in the river or some form of drastic action and didn't she tell the professor that he had to save her?
What TG has done is made herself available to Prof for years; just recently has seriously "declared" her feelings for him; and we see her personal anguish over how he chooses to react or not react.
Didn't Eunha do the same thing and we are seeing her personal anguish just in another form. She is a kid, she doesn't believe in hiding feelings like Tango Girl did for twenty years.
Tango Girl's behavior has not spilled over into others' lives and adversely affected them.
I agree with you here only in that Tango Girl actually has the support of the one person she has involved, and that is the professors daughter. The adversity that Eunha has caused is because of the prejudices of her mother. Her father isn't upset, Her sister is as bad as her mom and Groomie is just trying to do the best he can concidering that he feels ashamed of his own brother. LB, on the other hand is as cool as the professor, He is going with the flow, if he doesn't want to deal with her he doesn't.
I really don't see that TG has "stops at nothing to get her man." What has she done?
Well, doesn't she show up at tango lessons looking for him, didn't she ask him out to dinner, didn't she insist on having him do only what she wanted to do on their date. These may seem like minor incidents comparatively, but she is older and her agression takes another form, a mature form, but its still agressive manuevering. Again, I don't see a thing wrong with either of these women's approachs, but I do understand why the younger girl would annoy you.
It s her sister that annoys me so much I want to just shake her. She is the epitome of self centeredness. Running out on the honeymoon, caring more about her own feelings rather than her husbands, tromping on her husbands feelings about his family and scoffing at his traditional values. She is the real villian here not her sister.
We are never going to agree on this, I know, but there is nothing more fun than a friendly argument. Let's see what happens tonight.

Re: K-Drama: 하늘만큼 땅만큼 (As Much As Heaven and Earth/High as the Sky, Wide as the Earth)
Good Morning Family 
I had to jump in to ask why it has to be either or, in regards to those two sisters. They're both pains in the butt. They've been badly raised by an unhappy mother who made each of them think the world was their oyster and by, from my observation, a detached father. Neither of them is better than the other. Just different. Both spoiled and self-involved. I feel sorry for anyone who has to be involved with either of them.
They're both badly damaged and now its up to the ouside world and society at large to put up with these two selfish creatures. They're both going to have to learn some hard lessons and I'm sure we're going to be privy to it.
As far as Tango Girl and the professor, they have a history. Why he's playing into her list of things to do, I don't know. But, if it works out I'm all for it. I like them together, though he's a little too disconnected for me.
Tango Girl hid her feelings because the professor was a married man. They are both grown ups, so if he's not interested he has the right to say so. He hasn't said so and she doesn't deluge him with phone calls and messages all day so he can't get anything else done. Theirs is a whole different situation here and can't be compared to the loony sister and LB.
Tango girl is a woman who has made the decision to express her feelings to her guy and to see if something could possibly come of it. She's not nearly as frantic as this little girl, who behaves like LB is the last guy in Seoul. And she doesn't care how it affects him and his family. We all know its going to affect him, don't we? The older couple doesn't have any such problems. The only person who'd care is Jisu and she's all for her father and TG being together.
I don't see either of these sisters as having any positive qualities, but I'm a Kdrama addict and I know the ropes, so I know about the KDR. They'll both turn around before this is over and be fine and dandy. All I have to do now is watch to see how exactly this will be accomplished.
It should be interesting. 
Later

nchristi, More than Words can Say was my second drama, and the one that really hooked me. I've called it by that title for years now, but the scenario I remember is totally different. Girl had two suitors (doctors), married one who turned out to be the guy from hell, a drunken wife-beater. He leaves her, she goes home to parents who verbally abuse her for leaving her husband. She finally marries the guy who has loved her all along, without his parent's permission. Kim Ja ok played his mother. Girl is pregnant, probably with first husband's child, and is in car accident while meeting with him. MIL (KJO) aborts the baby while girl is unconcious. Perhaps I've just got the title wrong. There weren't things like this wonderful board way back in the dark ages of my kdrama viewing.
In all the dramas I've watched her in, I'd never realized how right you are about the hair and clothes!
Ah, smoochie! KDR!

In Korean (and many other Asian cultures), it is more desirable to not say things directly. In fact, to them the American directness of saying exactly what you want and don't want is considered quite rude and is very undesirable to them generally.
For a man to say "come to me," or "I want you by my side," is telling a woman he wants her to be his wife.
Just a couple weeks ago the actor who played the lead in the "Sweet 18 Bride," was asked in the on-the street interviews they do on one of the entertainment shows how he would propose to a woman. Everybody's looking for the big, spectacular proposals these days, but he said he would like to do it the old, subtle way, like one day saying to his girlfriend, "I'd like you to wake me up every morning."

K-Drama: 하늘만큼 땅만큼 (As Much As Heaven and Earth/High as the Sky, Wide as the Earth)
I think this drama only has 40 episodes, sometimes too long would feel draging, so far I think this drama going ok.
I love LB, he is no way to be black sheep in the family, just those uncle and grams does not like him. His mom and dad like him very much, so as his aunt, I love the way this parent treating him, it shows so much love they have to him. But I think he is suffering from his grams and uncle.
I love Jisu and Eunha, they both very good match to LB. I don't think Eunha act like SC in PIH, because she is not that spoil, see how nice she treat her brother in law. I think she act much younger than SC.
I think Groomie try to be "mr. nice guy" and please everyone in the family, I love the way his wife said it to her mom, don't treat Groomie like a servant. I wanted to clap my hands
I don't know why B-mom has to show up now, and stay in their kids' house, after so many year not around, I don't think she has right to stay there, for visit is fine, specially she never laid eye on them for fourty years, now wanted to expect welcome, she must be a big dreamer!
