Jolly Crying Widows. LOLOL
There IS no such thing as an original/new plot line. You know when you turn on one of these dramas, there's gonna be a plucky newcomer, the spoiled brat they fall in love with, an unlucky best friend and an evil mother in law to stand in the way of their happiness. Just as there will always be a screwup sibling, the spunky matriarch and the intrusive ajumna.
Oh, and some bombshell secret that will come out as soon as they run out of story.
Boring!
And formulaic!
But out of this formula, you sometimes get highly enjoyable dramas (Chil Sisters, if you forget certain storylines...)
If you want to break out of the formula, I'm afraid, you're going to have to look elsewhere.
TOPIC:
The single dad/older brother with the kid reminds me of the actor who plays Wilson on House M.D. He's cute. And I want to hit Manse upside the head with a frying pan.

Boy, oh boy! You have missed so much since this last posting. Obok and daehan has since married, Obok lech of a dad has started his bilking of the family money, Minguk is in love with teach, Manse is still hooked on ex husband vice versa, a new snooty witch has entered the picture chosen by Ice Queen for her son Sangun, like mum like DIL two pea in a pod, Miran has been laying low for the past couple of episodes, Well that's all the little snippets I have to offer.

Hi everyone - I guess you grabbed our attention, mecca9! As Dodgerman said, here on WMBC in NYC/NU Channel 63 we are up to around Ep. 70.... Miran has become a complete stalker....sooner or later she will find out she is Doklip's Mom - then all heck will break loose I guess. I feel sorry for Manse and Sangjun - they really love each other but have to deal with that witch of his mother....And now Minsuk (sp?) thinks he is the adopted child - that will be interesting....I still like this one but it's slow going.

I bet it will turn out that Daehan is the adopted one just because Minguk thinks he is. Miran isnt as much of a stalker as the girl trying to get Sangjun-she just shows up everywhere he is. Plus so far Miran seems too nice-she has to get a little Subin(from YAMD) in her & threatned to send Obok to Russia.

Right, dodgerman - last night it seemed pretty obvious when two or three times it was mentioned that Mom was given soup by Grannie when Minguk was born.....and Daehan is looking quite a bit upset. Yes, the woman that Sangjun's Mom want him to marry is getting to be a stalker as well...and can she wear a shorter skirt and still be dressed.... ;-)

Every time Sangjun spurns her, her skirt gets shorter. Next time I just expect her to jump him

Do these stalker girls(or the writers really) think that this makes them more appealing to the guy?? It is so unbelievable when the guy keeps saying no and the girl just keeps smiling and stalking or vice versa when the guy like Smirky Cheol kept after hot little Nayun (in Jolly Crying Widows) no matter how many times she just about told him to drop dead.

They must think they are just so desirable that the guy will eventually give in...... Cheol was a nasty one, one of the worst I remember in the dramas I've seen - I don't think I've seen that actor in anything else. I also don't get what the big issue is in telling a kid that he/she is adopted - this comes up in every single Kdrama I have seen, I think. And now it seems that the father is actually not the bio father of Daehan but has lied to his wife as well. Evidently Grandma knows the truth - she's not too good with secrets....

I can't believe Obok quit her job just because Granny that old witch wanted her to.....shouldn't Granny and Mom have been able to watch over Doklip when he got home from school......really ridiculous. And how soon is Ganghui's BIL going to be bilked out of her $200,000 - what a fool she was to give him the money so easily - why should she feel guilty that her husband died and left her the school.......

It was good to see Miran back. She got hotter with her short haircut but not any brighter!!! Now that she knows she had a boy she still cant figure out that Doklip is her son. !!! I have 2 words for her--DNA test!!

Well, she obviously listed to you dodgerman and took the hair from Doklip's head for the DNA test. Amazing that it took her so long to figure it out - she is supposed to be a company executive, is she not? I think this drama is going to be at least 140 episodes - according to dramawiki Ep. 143 was on in Korea this week......I don't know if I can take another 50 or so episodes....

I read on some post that this goes until ep 170!! I hope not. Now we're going to see Obok freak when she finds out that Miran is Doklip's Mom and Daehan never told her.
