Re: K-Drama: 미우나 고우나 (Likable or Not)
I can see why people dislike Miae's character. She's the type that you either love or hate and, yes, she's very self-centered & not a great mother to Chan.
But the difference between Miae and Sua & granny is that Miae really cares about her family & who hurts them, where Sua & granny don't care about anybody but themselves  I also LOVE how she stands up for herself & those she loves, even if she appears as a bully, from time to time!!
I wish Danpung & Jiyeong would be more like Miae and stand up for themselves, against the psycho doc, the Jerk, the Brat & granny, respectively. And I also hope that Jiyeong tells off the Jerk, once & for all, tonight. Also keep wondering how Baekho can work so closely with Danpung, without losing it  I couldn't do it, LOL!!

I was hoping Granny would be told how Sua stole an engaged SJ from JY to really know how serious their relationship was and how unscrupulous her grand-daughter really is.I, too, was hoping Dad would have spoken up, but he was in a difficult position both in addressing an elder and because he didn't know the facts about the music box.
But, you know, Granny does know that Seonjae was in a serious relationship with Jiyeong. Remember how she met with SJ and confronted him about it? He told Granny he would end it with Jiyeong. Granny asked him if that would be a problem and Seonjae said 'no', that he wanted to marry Sua and would get rid of Jiyeong pronto.
Did Sua steal Seonjae from Jiyeong? Men are hit on by slick chicks all the time. A man either chooses to say 'yes,' or he chooses to say 'no' to the advances of enticing women. In Seonjae's case, it wasn't the slick chick that enticed him—it was the fat bank account and social prestige of marrying into the Bonjour family.
In Sua's case, she is definitely a spoiled, immature, self-centered brat to the max. She also has the misfortune of falling in love with and marrying a man she thinks is true—not realizing he had no moral integrity in the area of life that affects her most deeply. Seonjae may have affection for Sua (it seems to be wearing thin by her childish behaviors), but he loves another.

Re: K-Drama: 미우나 고우나 (Likable or Not)
Miae definitely played a big role in this show--if nothing else, she does things to Mrs. Na and Sua that JY wouldn't think of doing. Although the music box came back to haunt JY and her dad (a very innocent bystander), but I did enjoy the big brawl between the women. The way Miae pulled Sua's hair at the department store is what the audience was hoping JY would do to Sua. But in the game of love, who is to say that Sua deserved to be punished because she got the guy away from JY. If SJ really loves JY, nothing could have enticed him away from her.
From earlier episodes, we saw that JY was forever waiting for SJ, be it outside his office or elsewhere. She even had to wait to be introduced to his parents. In Sua, SJ saw the kind of passion that lacks in JY. JY simply showed her affection for SJ a different way. SJ does enjoy the attention Sua is giving him prior to their marriage. No doubt that SJ likes Sua when he married her and figures that he would grow to love her in time.
But it was heartbreaking to see JY's father suffer from the older women's visit--it's worse than a slap to his face.
The Dr. is acting quite psychotic these days--I think it's more from his jealous rage. If nothing else, his behavior is tipping DP off as something to watch out for. He's possessive, easily provoked, and gets jealous. Notice how they had gradually phased out his glasses. I'm sure the audience in Korea must have voiced that his first pair of glasses only made him look like someone who pretended to play doctor. Then his 2nd pair of glasses was less severe, but still, he looked like a young man trying to play someone more mature. He actually looks better without his glasses.
I can understand the relationship between the Dr. and DP, especially from DP's point of view. Given a choice, she probably wouldn't have continued to see the Dr. But the Dr. had reassured her that they would just see each other as friends, so she agreed. But in fact, the Dr. is seeing her thinking that it'll lead to marriage. In many Asian cultures, people date under the assumptions that it'll eventually lead to marriage. Back when I was single, my parents couldn't understand why I would date any man without the premise of marriage. My argument would be: "how would I know whether I want to marry the guy if I don't date him first?" I think DP is in a very similar situation. Of course, the Dr. fell for her right away and would say anything to DP just so she would continue to "date" him. As our heroine is so NICE that she is actually being pushed into an engagement that she is not so sure of.
But it makes a lot of sense to date with marriage in mind. For one thing, people wouldn't be wasting time dating someone who does not want to get married, especially for people who really want to get married. It makes things a lot simpler (and easier) when people start to date in good faith. I'm a total believer of sensible matchmaking, done properly!

Re: K-Drama: 미우나 고우나 (Likable or Not)
Slightly OT but..nchristi-from where is the photo you use in your posts?
I thought Seon Jae was going back to Ji Yeon right up to the point where Ji Yeon threw her couple ring into the Han river. At that point I figured even if he does she won't take him back.
One more point for Baekho. When Danpung hears him graciously congratulate her on her engagement even though she knows he loves her, he goes up another notch in her eyes. Especially when compared to Hyeonu's bullying just before that.
Without the glasses, Hyeonu's eyes do look like Anthony Perkins as Norman Bates in Psycho

haha!! I haven't posted in this thread in awhile but Bugoy you almost made me spit soda all over my monitor with your description of creepy Hyeonu.  HAHA!! He gets that werid eye twitch when he is getting ready to be mean. EEEWwwwww!! Not to mention his LIPS!!! Why does the show's makeup artist put so much dark lipstick on him, in essence emphasizing it?! I shouldn't criticize a person's look. He can't help the way he looks. But seriously, I feel for this actor because he may not get a good role again (except the creepy ones) since he is so typecasted now as a creepy doctor.
I thought it was really mean of the doctor to force a congratulations out of BH, knowing that he loves DP too. The key, as Pooka67 pointed out, was that DP noticed the mean streak in the Dr. as well. She didn't have to go back to her office to tell her office mates (BH could have done that for her), but she had to catch up to BH to try to lessen the harshness of the situation. We see the pendulum naturally swings towards BH. It's like a force that is unstoppable!
pooka67, I love your GIF! Those 3 guys in Coffee Prince!! I know the exact scene when that took place. They text messaged a "love" message to their boss' phone and they were waiting to see his expression! That was a fun scene. Totally goofus, but fun!

K-Drama: 미우나 고우나 (Likable or Not)
Although he can speak in tones much louder than I find acceptable, I still like Danpungs father. He is consistent, and faithful to the family traditions and values but yet he has allowed space for compromise. His wife, on the other hand, has been annoying and selfish since the very beginning. She needs to quit her "planning" before the entire family is led down the path of future misery.

Re: K-Drama: 미우나 고우나 (Likable or Not)
I have been watching K-dramas at this time slot since "1 Million Roses" and this is by far the best drama yet (for this time slot). I find the title "Likable or Not" doesn't quite translate the true meaning of the Korean title. The Chinese translation of the title, word for word is "Love is good too, Hate is good as well" (Ai Yeh Hao, Hen Yeh Hao). I think it's closer to "Love is OK, hate is OK too, whatever!".
I forgot which episode, but the evil Grandmother did utter these 6 words while talking to either Mrs. Na or her daughter-in-law in the living room. I wish I remember which episode. I think she meant whether he/she loves or hates it, he/she has to deal with it. I forgot who she was referring to.

Re: K-Drama: 미우나 고우나 (Likable or Not)
I can now say Songjae is a certified JERK!! What on earth is he planning to do with Ujin? Mr. Kim, Ujin's backer at Bonjour, I believe holds a high position at Bonjour. Songjae is jealous - loved it! It's so clear he still has feelings for Jiyeong. I hope Jiyeong clears everything with Eulso before he misunderstands what he saw.
I wanted to slap that girl from Baekho's office. I just don't understand why these people don't know how to explain when their situation or actions get misunderstood.
Also, I couldn't believe Danpung is going ahead with the engagement. With this drama being just halfway through, are we going to see a wedding between Danpung and the creep?
Wonder what's going to happen at the Na residence next!!
