I don't remember the last time I hated a character this frelling much!
I am enjoying ep 3 of Lawyers of Korea but something Min Gook said (i.e. 'how can a married man only be satisfied with his wife') made me really need to know something - did he cheat on Ae Ri during their marriage? I really need to know because if he did, I am out. It's one thing I won't forgive in a fictional character.
ETA:
I have never changed my opinion on a character so fast.
I finished ep 3 and I sort of want Min Gook to die. Very badly. I hope Ae Ri gets every freaking cent off him - we see her memories and fine, he demonstrates no interest in her career and is snappish about housework, that's usual domestic squabbles stuff. BUT also she sees him with floozies repeatedly (once he is drunk and another it's even in his office!). This, however, all pales compared to this: she has a miscarriage and he comes into her hospital room and asks her what is wrong with her that she can't keep a baby?
RED RAGE BURNING FLAMES.
Seriously, I was cursing at my screen.
I think I might be dropping this drama because the thought of a man actually saying this to a woman's face, and this man supposedly this drama's hero? I get so mad I start seeing spots.
I WANT HIM TO DIE.
I also kept thinking Lawyer Byun looked familiar and I finally realized - he is the lead of Seoul 1945, a historical drama about 1940s Korea I own and have been dying to watch (it got the Baeksang award for best drama, apparently). The crazy thing? The actress who plays Ae Ri is his OTP in that one! Yup - he is an intellectual from poor background who becomes a Communist and eventually is disillusioned and she is a poor peasant woman. Mmmm. Now I know why LoK thread had Ae Ri/Byun shippers before the drama even got going.
Seriously, here they are in Seoul 1945:
This is kinda insane - seeing that I only know them as slick lawyer and fancy movie star of LoK. I am now imagining Lawyer Byun getting almost beaten to death in a prison camp as he tries to reach to Movie Star AeRi and *boggle boggle boggle*
Also, I have a whole new appreciation for Lawyer Byun after seeing this from S1945:
Now, that's a good lawyer - he will clearly defend his client to the death.
