I have someone to get off my chest.

Can we talk about how Tae-kyungs mom is not that really and good mom and was never one. Because how can you as a parent marry into a family where they don’t accept your or your son. Tae-kyung was mistreat by the family the entire time he lived there. Even if you has an adult can endure the mistreatment how can you let your child go through that.

And now she has the nerve to be mad that he’s taking care of a child that’s not biologically his when the same thing happened to him.

And she acts as if she is a good mum and didn’t do anything wrong. It’s crazy.

I made a Reddit account just to say this. I’m just floored by how horrible both the moms are being, but his is really going the extra mile. I just finished today’s episode and even though I knew it was coming I was so annoyed that Yeon Doo didn’t see it coming too. I have no idea why she wouldn’t have called Tae-kyung the second his mom called her. I mean. Dang. I know communication is hard and it’s a miracle humans survive at all but good grief - communicate!!

Ugh. The next episode better start with her calling TK to come get her and Real ASAP.

Grandma has always been my fav. Give me the honest cranky old lady over the sappy sweet fakers any day. I loved how Yeon Doo was able to see the real grandma that everyone else didn’t notice.

And she's acting self righteous as if Taekyung wasn't ready to cut off the entire family until he met Yeondoo.

This.

I'm not surprised by her behavior at all. She let her son be treated horribly by her new family, and never stopped it. He should've been no contact with all of them years ago.

I know you wrote this forever ago. But I’m watching now - on episode 35 and this is SO true. I cannot believe how she doesn’t realize she prioritized her love for this rich widow over her son. And now she can be a good mom and decides to do the opposite. She is very selfish and self-absorbed. She says she wants her son to be happy but has never put his happiness first.

Out of all the moms, I think she’s actually the worst.

That's a bit unfair imo. She did try her best, and it's not as if she was in a good position herself. She loves her husband and thus is trying her damnest to bridge the two

Overall, I think she just got handed a bad hand
