Welcome to another week in Live Your Own Life, where I’m inspired to take my non-existent fitness journey very seriously. Maybe then I’ll finally achieve the K-drama dream of ending up in a love triangle with two chaebol heirs.
Gym shenanigans aside, Hyo-shim forgets about a dinner appointment with Tae-min, and his potential arranged marriage partner CHOI SOO-KYUNG (Im Joo-eun) is only too happy to take the dinner slot. Soo-kyung seems cool with Tae-min having feelings for someone else, but she’s also direct about her intentions to make him her man. Tae-ho, on the other hand, continues his search for his runaway granny. He comes this close to finding a clue, but gets stonewalled by a former nurse who attended to granny in captivity. Meanwhile, granny continues to recuperate at the Uicheon Villa — where Hyo-shim’s family lives — and her refusal to go to the hospital or to the police sparks curiosity among the tenants as to her identity.
Hyo-sung’s wife, YANG HEE-JOO (Im Ji-eun), continues to stake her claim to the villain throne. If she’s not nagging her husband about money, she’s forcing their son to play golf, and doting on their overly entitled daughter. You know she’s cold-cold when she financially cuts off even her parents. But Hee-joo is still many paces behind Sook-hyang in the villainous department. Sook-hyang’s latest act of villainy is beating up her daughter, Tae-hee, with designer purses, and attempting to marry her off to a 37-year-old man with a family history of baldness — for the sake of the company, of course. Jeez! Someone needs to stick this woman in anger management classes. And for the love of good hygiene, someone needs to stick Tae-hee into a hot bath, ASAP!
