So, it is clear to me that Sunyeok inherited her Dad's stupidity. Doesn't she think it is at all bizarre that her boss is taking exceptional interest in her mother's first wedding ring? Doesn't she think it's at all strange that CEO Dad asks her why she never asked him if he was her real Dad. What did she say? She doesn't remember what he looked like 'cause she was so young? She was 9 years old, for Pete's sakes, not 9 months old ! Plus hasn't she ever seen her father's picture on her grandmother's diminutive dresser ? Maybe she's confused because he wore thick black glasses years ago. She should ask him to try on a pair of glasses next time he asks to see that dopey ring again

Is this series really going to go on for 155 episodes? Can the writers really drag it out that long? How many scenes can we see CEO mom's eyes pop out of her head everytime her husband brings up Jinwu, or Sunyeok or the ring or Thailand or Shanghai?

Please let us just fast forward to when CEO Dad finds out that heis the long lost Taesu, and then they have a double wedding: Jinwu and Nayan's along with Junwu and Mechanic Lady, oh and CEO Dad and Mom renew their vows. One big happy family photo. Snapshot. Freeze Frame. Thank you for watching The Jolly Widows. See you next time.... (at the next -- hopefully better drama)

HAHAHAHA! that's good!

oops...sorry door60, i was supposed to quote your text... i'm still new at this discussion board thing.

Fixed it for you Queen.

The ring thing hasn't happen yet Door60.

Last night was the day Nayun and Cheol were suppose to get married and both Nayun and Jinwu went to the beach and just happen to met.

Dad just had his accident and still hasn't made the connection yet that he's mechanic's husband.
(I'll try to grab an actual episode number tonight)

They build us up just so they can let us down

Yes it is...very good.
Somebody's got the last episode routine down perfectly, door60.

Personally I'd rather see Mr. Kang and Mechanic lady end up together...but I know that's not going to happen. They have much more chemistry together than when they are with their respective partners. I like Junwu and all and I'd feel sorry for him, but maybe he can hook up with Mrs. Kang? *lol* For me, when mechanic lady and Mr. Kang are on screen, I think it sizzles...but we'll never know because they'll never be given the chance.

Mrs. Kang would eat poor Junwu alive.

 

Taesu is like superman with the glasses thing except only to himself. If that makes sense lol. And if that's what it took to correct his vision, I need to jump out of a boat and lose my memory too.

I think Junwu would eat her alive. He's a firecracker, a fiesty explosive one. Mrs Kang needs a strong-willed man, like the dad from Chill Sisters.

Me too I was sad just thinking about it. They seem to be perfect for each other Just quiet and nodding all the time. HA!

Jinwu, I know, is going to win but Cheol makes me sick on how blind he is about the whole love mess. Makes me wonder if it isn't stalker love not ambition. Kind of makes you feel sorry for his stupid self.
Who has to chase a woman that much and then she says give up! He is lammmmme. I don't know a man who would do that unless he were a stalker and mentally unbalanced.
I am glad Mr. Kang is stirring that pot up.

Did anybody remember in last nite's episode when Cheol said to Nayun, that he can't or won't give her up and sometimes it scares him? That was probably one of the first honest things he said.....and it sounds liike a man on the verge of something, like a breakdown or a flip out.....boy, if I were in her shoes, I'd tell him, "have a nice life, see ya!" Also she fine- a-leeeee told her mom that "Don't you think I love Jinwu as much as you love Dad?" Thats what I said before, Cuda mom wants her to give up the man she loves so she doesn't have to give up the man SHE loves!! Cudamom will not get Mother of the Year Award, for sure!!

I'm a little frustrated with how mechanic mom acts around Junwu when he talks about their upcoming wedding......She acts like he shouldn't talk about it, I don't get her attitude at all.....its like its something she dreads.....and he is so good to her and so thoughtful of her family. Hope he doesn't get tired of her constant moodiness.....

I noticed you guys in spoiler chat call her Cuda mom, why?

I think that's because of the shock she has received meeting Mr. Kang. She's never really believed he was dead for the past 15 years and then she suddenly runs into him, that would throw anyone's world upside down. She was fine before that...warming up to Junwu nicely...but this has set her back. She can't get excited about her upcoming wedding because her head is reeling from this. There is great conflict going on inside of her right now...on the one hand, she is positive this is her husband and on the other hand everyone is telling her no it's not, it's really tearing her up. I can understand her reaction to Junwu perfectly. She's so confused right now; so hard to fully commit to another man when she thinks this guy is her husband. I believe (right now) she still loves her husband. But of course when everything is found out, you just know that she will end up with Junwu and the Kang's will stay married. I just don't think it's right. Does Mrs. Kang just get away with all the underhanded things she's done? She's practically pimping out her daughter just so her world is not upset but the heck with her daughter's life.

Did she ever say she loved him? I really don't recall, but she did say she wants to marry him.

I think mechanic mom has a lot of guilt.
(Not helped by the fact that she's so close to her in laws. We never hear her talk about Her family.)
She wants to be happy, she wants to be loved but she probably feels like an adulterer on some levels and like she's betraying her family in others.
She also knows she's not considered worthy of Junwu by his mom and probably society, so that makes you feel like you should stay humble.
I really wish Junwu would like buy the house next door so they could all still be close without the weirdness of being friendly with your wife's ex-husband's family.
I think if she didn't feel like she was turning her back on her family she could be happier.

Okay I get the Cuda=Barracuda but why is she a barracuda?

Very true but this was the case before she saw Mr. Kang, now add Mr. Kang to the mix, and it's a wonder the poor woman does not stash bottles of soju in her desk drawer..*lol* She was just starting to warm up and relax with Junwu (his mother finally accepted her, I believe she was starting to feel "worthy" herself , etc.) and then enter Mr. Kang into the picture totally throwing her for a loop. I don't understand the part about not being there for the family anymore though? Just becasue she will be moving out...she'll still be working and I'm guessing he makes a good living so wouldn't it ring true that they would still be giving money to the family? The family is acting like they will be destitute if she leaves.

They are feeling guilty for her taking care of them especially since she is an in-law.

If you got remarried how would you feel about your husband paying his ex-wife's sister's rent?
Would you take money from your ex-daughter in-law's new spouse?

Junwu is very open and accepting, but it's awkward even by western standards.
There needs to be a bond between Junwu and the rest of the family for them to feel comfortable.

And remember this is Korea where once you're married you are a part of your husband's family.
Like Jin Kyung is Expected not to care about her brother she's known and loved all her life and be all Team Cheol! who she barely sees.

Yeah, the return of Kang has thrown a wrench into the whole mess.
Her guilt is amplified, you're holding the arm of your boyfriend when across the way you see the face of your husband?

Being that Junwu has money, they will be comfortable enough so that mechanic lady (who said she still wants to work) can give her salary to the family, not Junwu's money. Nothing should change in that respect.


I can't believe when Naguen told cudamom that she wasn't marrying crazy Cheol, the mom's first reaction was "What about Mr. Lee's feelings"....WHATTTT!! Then she went on and on about poor Mr. Lee. This woman is a piece of work. How about worrying about your daughter's feelings and heartfelt plea to you. This woman is a pimp for sure. Hate her.

Not to worry........

Jinwu is going to come up with some really snazzy packaging
to go along with some great snack food idea, and without that evil
sneer-face man, always lurking in the Unicorn hallways, to steal his ideas,
Jinwu will make the cover of Packaging Illustrated's "Man of the Year" issue,
get promoted with a big raise from "Uncle Dad" and that family's financial
woes will be over. And don't forget those free food samples that Jinwu will bring
home for "consumer testing research."

Plus Sueyeon's (sp?) boyfriend is rich, too.
Buy a diamond necklace for the screaming/hitting aunt to shut her up,
and be a sweet guy to the loving granny of the bride. Plus, a big gift
certificate to the oriental medicine store, to butter her up, perhaps?
And with only 2 people living there, after all the marriages take place,
Granny and DIL can rent out some of the rooms.

Don't worry....nobody in that house is gonna' starve anytime soon.

Grace has done it again! This time I am prepared

P.S. If anyone goes to Facebook, I'm on there all the time...look for Carol Zeisler - we can chat there too if you like...just thought I'd throw this out there. Hope I don't get in trouble because this is supposed to be it's own topic?

Hey Carly and Lyricallor,

Are you people still whining because you can't read
my posts without spitting tea all over your computer's
screen and keyboard? AGAIN?

Some people got couth........and some people ain't.

PS.....Seriously, Thanks for the compliments, but I just
try to add a little bit of logic to these kdrama stories,
otherwise we would all go crazy, huh?

Okay, tonight's episode here in Philly was #91
Courtesy of Kkot over in our the Jolly widows spoiler forums.

Quote:

Eps 91 I missed the first 10 minutes .. but i figured that they sat down together for dinner and talked about Junwuu n Mechanic Mom's marriage Nayun again told Cheol that she doesn't wanna marry him and instead of going to dinner with Cheol and marketing team .. she spent time with Jinwu Cheol's Dad asked him to reconsider the marriage since they haven't heard from Nayun's family about setting new date ... he asked Cheol if the reason for him marrying Nayun is really because he love her not her background (the only one who can see the real deal Praise you! ) CEO Dad was looking for his medicine when (for the second time) he saw the red box with a wedding ring in it, Cuda Mom walked in as he's putting it back in the drawer. Suspicious, she asked what was it the he was looking for. He said his medicine. Cuda Mom opened the drawer and notice the red box, and she said that the medicine was not there. Too bad, the medicine WAS there and CEO Dad knew it. Suhyun and BF met with CEO Dad to talk about their project, then CEO Dad notice the ring on her finger.

*Adds*
He did put two and two together that his wife was hiding the ring. I'm gonna guess he also knows they are the same ring, but this is a kdrama and CEO dad is as sharp as a box of hammers so....

Haha. What I don't get is how could you really tell they are the same ring? Are wedding rings really that unique? I mean engagement rings yes. But don't most gold bands look basically the same? Or was there something inscribed on them? Of course it's possible that I was sprung from that same box of hammers

I sure hope that this is going to be found out soon...and not at the last two episodes...where they FF ahead five years and everyone then knows everything. I want to see the relationships develop, etc. And I just realized that I've been thinking about mechanic lady and daughter all this time but what about Mr. Kang's mother? How totally unfair this is to her. Cudamom knows his mother is alive and she is keeping him from her. Regardless that he will not get back with mechanic lady...he still has a daughter and mother. And his mother may not have long to live at her age. This is just totally unfair. Wow, Cudamom is the worst.

That's true - his mom is still alive and she might not get to see him again if this doesn't get resolved . . . that would be too sad . . .

When Cuda mom noticed the ring she commented mechanic mom on how unusual it was.

With all the other cowinky dinkys, just having a ring that looks like theirs is enough.
