Beanie level: Jang Geu-rae

This is TOO MUCH! Why can’t poor Hae-yi get a break? Of all the characters to continue to dump on. And don’t get me started on Jae-woo and Young-Joo. I can’t believe they’ve put them as a couple.

    It’s an obvious ‘considered’ decision by Hae-yi with her own reasoning. She’s wise beyond her age (and definitely heaps more brainy than her mum) – it may be her way to fix her mum and not to drag the other family members down. Sounds like noble idiocy but could be the only way to get that mum out of the scene for good. Another 24 hours to find out.

    The relationship between Jae-woo and Young-joo is gross.

      They should have never had that earlier arc of Young-Joo leading on. It cheapens the whole plot line to make the subsequent development palatable.

        It’s a standard case of emotional manipulation. She raises the idea, he reacts badly, she gets upset, he feel bad about her being upset and acts to remedy the situation as though it’s his failing and not hers. I hate that he has never once shown any evidence of a sexuality or romantic interest in anybody. He’s just trying to make her happy at his own expense.

        What do you guys think of the final ending for these two? I’m not shocked they’d go there, I’m flabbergasted.

I know it’s being used as a plot point, but Hae-yi’s mom muscling her way in is against everything we’ve been shown about Hae-yi’s personality. It’s lazy writing and an overplayed trope in my book.

Ep 15 of Crash Course in Romance. NO WAY Hae-yi would tolerate her birth mom elbowing Haeng-seon out of the way to take the spotlight. It’s against the character as written in the last 14 eps.

    I was so expecting her to say “she isn’t my mom, SHE (points at HS) is my mom” and then the annoying woman and Chi Yeol would leave the room.

    I don’t think she is, I think she feels guilty about how much Hang-seon has had to give up because of her and now she has to deal with her awful sister coming back and hitting her boyfriend up for money as well. If she leaves with her mother for Japan, in her mind she’s killing two birds with one stone. Freeing Hang-seon up from caring for her and having to deal with this terrible woman at the same time. Bear in mind she’s long blamed herself for things like the scandal and the misunderstanding that stopped them from getting together in the first place.

    It’s Noble Idiocy.

The last Interest of Love recap is coming and I gotta say: Nope, nada, no way, forget it, way too little way too late. What a messed up, unnecessarily complicated show. Waste of time, waste of talent.
