refreshing like crazy since morning. hahaha. off to read now. thanks javabeans.

i can never understand mi ryung's logic -.-'

Still waiting for the subs (guess the subbers are also exhausted with all the craziness going on :P) but seriously considering to finally skip parts of the episodes :D

So far I have made it through all episodes without skipping but it gets tougher every time...But I guess I'll end up watching the full thing again^^ I'm just really terrible at skipping because I always think I could miss something (although I know, thanks to your summary, I wouldn't).

I am really loving chan woo's character. so steady so firm and calm. I haven't read recaps for these episodes coz waiting for subs but he has been really steady all
along. I'd fall for him in a sec, awful
mom notwithstanding

JH ... JJS .... JH (and just little bits of SS, CW, Baker Oppa) is the reason i am watching this drama ... i really dont know why and how i am bearing all the screaming and yelling of all ajjummas ... Drama god please save this DRAMA please

Meh, these two episodes weren't all that great for me. Grandma and Chanwoo's mom just about drove me insane!

1 scene I liked in those 2 eps: The boxing lesson. For the rest, same old, same old.

I had to fast forward more than usual this week.

Nice to see Chan-woo stand up for himself. His mom is just ugh.

My favorite scene was definitely the boxing lesson.Best part was when Hye-shin whacks Bread man in the head and he just falls over.

I really don't understand Mi Ryung, she's like the Korean version of "mommy dearest". You can't force love. She clearly is living in a world of her own creation. She sincerely believes that she can just tell Soon Shin to love her and it will happen. On the plus side the bread man knock-out was so awesome! He is the so cute and vulnerable...he's feels innocent.

Still haven't seen the episodes.....

Ogh, Augh, Aaaaaahhhh...
I drop YtBLSS since 2 weeks ago, even don't want to watch while browsing/playing games in internet.

That's why I don't really fall for long Kdramas. I take this lessons from Okjagyo Brothers and If Tomorrow Comes. I only watch 2 - 4 first episodes + 4 last episodes. Hehehe....

I thought YtBLSS is going to be better than others, and I do really like the side stories of the sisters (the 'don't want to marry cause it only leads to heart broken or divorce'/'I can stand/happy/content by myself' to 'I married because of that what people expect me to do so/I give up everything for it and end up divorce' - stories that happen all over the world, I can connect to them).

But.... it turns out to be the same, prolong on the birth-not-so-secret, low self esteem or too high self esteem/egocentric. I have enough.

So, thank you Javabeans, to update us on this drama. See you when this drama back to it good self.

i haven't watched yet... n i think i won't... i just wanna know how is the development between SS and JH... and HS+ breadman...just imagine it make me smile..
the pictures you upload make me wanna see it.. but for other part i dont really care...

mostly about MR or CW's mom...

question.
was ojakkyo brothers filled with more highlights than soonshin, just the same, or less??
its on my to watch long dramas but i would not start if this is what we get.

Ugh. All the mother figures in this drama can just shrivel up and fade away for all I care.

Still watching for the cute, no matter how far and few they are these days.

The boxing scene was great. I love the scenes with Bread Man and HS. They are my favorite couple. I really, really want to see SS step up and show that she has a back bone. I think that the drama aired enough episodes that some change in the way she deals with things and ppl is needed. MY, I have no words for her okay I do: terrible, self-centered, delusional, annoying, crazy. Actually, I could go on and on but I'll stop.
Thanks for the highlights JB

"...Could she be more of a doormat?..."

I think this is one of my main complaints about this series (and a few other similar k-dramas, such as "I Summon you Gold").

For some reason it seems like the writers think that the heroine always has to be a doormat to be "nice". And it is getting a bit old as a plot device. On the other hand, since they keep repeating it, I wonder if Korean audiences have a different take on it.

At this point I no longer have any sympathy for most of the chars in this series - would not bother me a bit if all the screaming moms and the like got hit by a runaway train and smooshed into oblivion. I am pretty much fed up with Soon Shin being a walking example of total wussiness - most of her problems are not because of others, but because she is so stubbornly passive and too freeking dumb to see who is on her side.

I managed to watch both episodes in 17 minutes, so I may have skipped something interesting but from the synopsis I doubt it.

I know too many people who are JUST LIKE Miryung. They're complete sociopaths.

It was incredibly gratifying to have Ahjumma and mom finally go at it.

And lastly, I usually watch K-drama because the characters shed new light on the human condition and indirectly help teach in positive ways how to be a better human being. There is no such person in this drama. Every single character is stunted in some way, even Jun-ho. And there are so many despicable people in this show, the grandma especially. She is a terrible, terrible human being. So are Jun-ho's sister and mother as well as Chanho's sister and mother. In fact, at least Miryung's psychosis at least fascinating. The others are just contemptible with nothing redeeming about them.

i think SS will step up later. mb this week? have u read the episode 33 preview. she did something that we really want her to do before. :)

eyeroll i am so glad i didn't watch these episodes. but boxing lessons are pretty cute.

wait the first part is a lie. i loaded episode 31 and watched the first two minutes before closing it. i understand what iu is trying to do with the woodenness, but it's so .... wooden. and she's already done this for about four episodes so it's getting tiring.

junho is so cute though. a beam of sunlight in a week of rain.

So they've got 20 episodes to go and they can't think of a new plot arc? *sigh*

miryung, that quack. GEEZ. tone it down, lady.

the cute was cute though. hee.

i am SOOOOOOOOOOOO glad you're doing these open threads. i've stopped watching for the time being, so know that i appreciate these posts incredibly much. i'll pick up the watching again once the end draws nearer. much thanks. ~

let's look on the bright side. no matter how bad/boring ytblss can get with the histronics and the family drama, it can't hold a candle to just how terribly and unabashedly makjang hundred years' inheritance has become lol. i think the latter has pulled out every single k-drama trope that has ever been thought up (amnesia, lies, birth secrets, corruption, traffic accidents, blackmail, fatal illness, birth switchups, car chases, suicide attempts, etc, to name a few) and then some. at the very least we can depend on this drama to remain somewhat realistic. lol

also, soon shin isn't that much of a doormat, imo, esp. compared to some other leads. she argues for what she wants, she acts a certain way only if she can get something in return. when other girls like yijung or yeonah try to sass her she sees through it and doesn't take it, which is a breath of fresh air, imo. she also refuses to take the roles miryung gives her and insists on signing/working ONLY with shin daep, too. i'll admit she's taking her sweet time getting started on the whole acting thing, but that's mostly because she herself feels guilty/conflicted, not because other characters are telling her not to.

and her and junho are soooo cuuuuteeeeeee. like he doesn't know how to act around her AT ALL and it is completely endearing. i hope iu x jjseok are paired up in another drama bc w/ this writer their chemistry is going to waste.

Basically this episode was me rewinding Junho, tripping over nothing, Junho smacking his hand against the counter, Junho unable to speak in full sentences around Soon Shin...
yeaaah that :DD

When JH's father started out hating MR so much, I don't know why he is all of a sudden so taken w MR, that he wants her to be the model for his clinic! He even yells at his clueless wife when she talks abt MR slightly unfavorably. Give me a break!

If he goes and have an affair w her, I'm gonna throw things. W this writer, it's not impossible. So to avoid damage to my properties, I quit!

Oh why don't u just recap that
