K-Drama: 미우나 고우나 (Likable or Not)
Well, I have been one for over two weeks and won't be back until New Years, but from the comments the show must be progressing slowly.
I do like Jiyeong. The doctor was programed from the beginning not to be likable so the relationship between Baekho and DP could progress.

K-Drama: 미우나 고우나 (Likable or Not)
I have to miss two episodes for Holiday Parties. So far, the first party I went to was a bust--I would've enjoyed watching Likable or Not better. Hopefully this New Year's Party tonight will be more fun. I suppose I've fallen off the rails if I'd rather watch K-dramas than be with real people!
Anyway, I'm for Sua as a match for Seonjae. Anybody else agree with me? Like Carrie and Mr. Big on Sex and the City or even Rhett and Scarlett, neither of them are that nice, so they're meant for each other! A nicey-nicey character and a charming rake are not a good match in romantic fiction.
Here's a couple of things I don't understand:
1. Is Jiyeong a real vet or some kind of dog groomer? How can she be from such a low-class background if she's been in an intense graduate school for four years and her father is a doctor of sorts? In America, she would not be looked down upon by the wife of a government official if she's really a vet. This is very confusing to me.
2. Jiyeong doesn't seem that smart, where Sua does. She's a brat, no denying it, but she seems to know about money, investments and other things that Seonjae is into. He doesn't seem to have any interest in pets. No, not a good match at all.
3. How come I bought a Korean car but was not offered the option of having pseudo-Hello Kitty seats like Danpung has? They don't look like thye are seat covers, they look like they came with the car.
And last
4. I don't know if Jiyeong is pregnant--I hope not, since I think she'll meet a newly arriving character (like Jimin or Palja) later on and wind up with him. But if she really slept in a car with Seonjae, she definitely is. Remember, it's easier to get a Korean pregnant than anyone else. Dae Joyoung's girlfriend got pregnant just by hugging him behind a screen! True he had his shirt off, but that's probably overkill--the hug should be enough to fertilize the very special egg. Jongnam got pregnant from the beach and Myungju got pregnant by wearing matching pajamas, so I think there's no hope for Jiyeong!

Re: K-Drama: 미우나 고우나 (Likable or Not)
I agree to both of you saying Sua and Sonjae deserve each other. How can you be in a relationship for 10 years with someone and just change your feelings overtime and dump her? I'm sure Sonjae loves Jiyeon but he does love his job and his image too! And I guess those come before Jiyeong - so bye-bye love and hello comfort - that's Sonjae.
It's okay to fall deep in love with somebody for 10 years, but I don't think it is okay to be so dumb not to feel being rejected - face to face!! I don't even know how to describe the Jiyeong character. I hope (and I'm sure) she'll find someone better. I am hoping too that Sua and Sonjae marry.

Why give into the negative. It just reenforces bad scripts and unbelievable situations. Sua is a mean spirited, self centered person who should live alone instead of having others suffer. Sonjae is also contemptible and should lose his job and live his life in poverty.
Jiyeong is a self-sacrificing young woman who is concerned with the happiness of others.
Forget Baekho and D.

(Sua and Seonjae, here's your lump of coal!  ) Well, one reason to "give in to the negative" is that they will cancel each other out and save two other innocent people from a lifetime of suffering. The positive is that they will probably be very happy together!
On to some of Catsister's questions...
Is Jiyeong a real vet? class ul I think so. She sometimes wears a stethoscope draped around her neck rather than a hair dryer. Maybe being a vet in Korea doesn't have the same education requirements as we have here. Koreans were starving and surviving with difficulty for decades, so pets were not an affordable luxury for the general populace. They've become relatively popular there only in the recent past. Dogs are still food in that country and served in certain Seoul restaurants. As far as social status, being a veterinarian is probably low down the ladder, just as non-exclusive restaurants are. Why wasn't I offered pseudo-Hello Kitty on my Korean car? class ul well, because it was a special gift to Dan from Hyeongu. This is Dan's very first car and as a present he had it tricked out in stuffed animaldom.Is Jiyeong pregnant... If she slept overnight with Seonjae, she is. class ul Hate to disappoint you, but both Seonjae and Jiyeong swear they only got some shut-eye. I believe them. They are so incompatible that even miraculous conception wouldn't make it through the barriers in their case!

Re: K-Drama: 미우나 고우나 (Likable or Not)
That was pretty cool, catsister!  Thank you for mentioning Jimin and Palja and not bothering to dumb it down for us. 
I do take exception to the Rhett Butler/Scarlett O'Hara comparison. Scarlett was the spawn of Satan, but Rhett knew justice and meted it out where he saw it. He loved his daughter and was called by the siren's song that was her mother. This is a failing common in many (most) men, including me!

Re: K-Drama: 미우나 고우나 (Likable or Not)
Liked tonight's episode!!
-Sua got her butt kicked by Miae, outside Seonjae's mom's apartment Miae went to give the rest of the money back to Seonjae's mom & met Sua there but didn't know right away who she was. On her way out, she realized & Sua was also heading out before Miae stopped her!! Way to go, Miae!! Sua swears revenge.
-Looks like Baekho & Jiyeong are very close, as Baekho went to the vet place & asked Jiyeong's dad, if he could take Jiyeong out on a date. They went to an arcade-type spot & had lots of fun. I like them as a couple.
-Dongji finds out that Dalhyeon is carrying fish boxes for money, because of his bad back, and goes ballistic. But when Dongji tells him that she met with Miae, he goes ballistic & calls Miae to meet him in the park. Dalhyeon tells her that it's TOTALLY over between them & that he "doesn't know her" anymore!! Miae actually finds his "rage" charming. I don't think it's over between them, LOL!!
-Just when I thought Jiyeong was "over" Seonjae, she's outside a trendy area & sees couples and looks at pics on her cellphone of them together. She starts to cry & calls her, while he's out with Sua, and tells him that she misses him & wants to see him one more time. PLEASE stop, Jiyeong. You're too good for that jerk & it's really getting pathetic!!
