    DB: “Why is life so cruel only to me?”

    You mean compared to your mom, who lived pitifully and is at death’s door? Or compared to HM, who was brutally murdered after a pathetic life? Are you kidding me? You have a successful business, a loving son, and you’ve just been welcomed back by the guy you dumped, the guy with the biggest heart in the world. You know why you’re a loser, DB? Because you think of yourself as a loser. After everything that’s happened in this drama, hearing this line from you makes me think you don’t deserve all the good that you have in your life.

      Yeah, I just sighed at all the self pitying. Even when she was with the doctor I wanted to slap her upside the head.

      I never could like this show because of exactly this reason. Her constant self-pitying nearly drove me mad. GHJ has an irritating way of whining in all of her roles but I had never gotten this frustrated at her.

    OMG — I was wondering why we cut to the Salvation Army Christmas collection. And why she’s complaining about receiving pencils from Santa. Do camellias bloom in winter? Because the background music is The First Noel. Gah! It’s going to be a Christmas miracle ending. Who could have believed it!

      That Salvation Army cut made no sense whatsoever! In fact, I think the editing of both ep 19 and 20 were off. They were probably running out of time to do it properly.

        I think it was their way of doing a time jump and the execution was not that great. So Mom was in the hospital fall which lead into winter and then it was Spring when Yong-sik was talking about their wedding.

        Also, DB and Yong sik did not age either which, was kinda dumb for the production to at least try to age them up a bit. Yong-sik would be what 40 or 42 at that time. I few winkles and a gray in the temple would have sufficed.
