My Dearest Part 2:

What even was the point of Won-moo’s character? Oh, yes, plot device.

    And what a convenient justification for divorce.

    He said he was robbed by bandits*.
    What ! You didn’t catch that on film ? 😅
    Many viewers would like to see him beaten and robbed.

    *Last week I suggested he be killed by bandits.
    He told Gil-chae he was going to “take care of it “ . 😒
    His new wife (?) or concubine is expecting soon too.
    What exactly happened to Gil-chae’s business while she was gone ?
    Can she resume business ? I wish the writer filled in these details. Maybe next week.

      I could have sworn it was mentioned that while Won-moo himself had returned to Joseon, he had sent someone in his stead to continue searching for Gil-chae. What happened to that part of the story?

      It was too convenient to make him unlikeable and the pregnant second wife angle takes the cake.

        I took it as lip service that Won-moo said he sent someone. The next mention is that “he”, (not sure if “he” was Won-moo or Won-moo’s minion) was robbed.

          “I took it as lip service that Won-moo said he sent someone.”

          In light of what transpired, I guess it was just lip service.

          I thought the “robbery” was in reference to the night Won-moo let that older man with whom he had shared lodgings at the inn take his mother in order to purchase his son’s freedom. Since Won-moo had no ransom money left, he would have had to return home.
