Man, those secondary girls are sure insane
Um, whut?
Secondary lady in Sunny Happiness (who btw has one of the most bird-like, cold, unattractive faces I've ever seen) is Mike's ex-wife who didn't want family to interfere with her career? Fair enough (though I fail to see how being married to a chaebol would do that - he doesn't seem the type to demand wifey stays home - in fact, from flashbacks we see he explicitly told her so). But shouldn't she have decided that before she accepted and married him? WTF?
And she didn't want to have a baby for the same reason and so demanded an abortion? Um, I know it's a radical notion, woman but (a) birth control! Use it! or take the morning-after pill (b) more importantly, kids or no kids is a huge deal-breaker in a marriage. Shouldn't it have been something you mentioned to him as a big no-no for you since default is assuming the other wants kids?
So, Mike signed abortion papers (I guess you need husband's consent wherever they were) even though he desperately wanted a kid, gave her her freedom and divorce, and left.
OK, that doesn't make her the most likeable person on the planet but I could sort of see a scenario where someone thought they wanted one thing but realized they wanted another and did what she did - it's selfish because another person, i.e. her husband, is involved, but there's worse things.
BUT apparently she decided to have the child afterwards and never told Mike about it, is currently in fact lying to him it's a child from her subsequent (nonexistent) marriage, and is lying to the kid his father is dead and wtf wtf wtf wtf wtf I do not have enough wtf for this. Who the hell does that? What kind of nasty-minded lunatic? Seriously.
I thought it was kinda low of her not to tell him about their son when I thought he was a product of a relationship they had and she bailed before Mike or she knew she was pregnant but under the circumstances, that's totally sick!
Ugh.
Well, on the plus side, I can't see Mike's character or anyone with half their braincells falling for someone like that again, so maybe less chance of a love rival?
As you can tell by the above, I've been marathonning Sunny Happiness and am currently on ep 5. Usually I struggle to get through one ep of a romcom but here I am enjoying my binge. It's pretty low-stakes compared to my recent period cdrama run, which I find relaxing. I am not madly invested (though give me a few more eps...) but I do like the characters and find the story interesting. It makes for a nice break from Three Kingdoms and Yang Clan (though I plan to coninue with the latter asap - want to see Four get married)
I do find it amusing how she's basically his cleaning lady and he's the picky CEO and he totally lets her run around and rant. LOL. Too funny. Oh, how I love their interactions. She softens his don't-touch-me demeanor and he brings out her strength and temper. Also, one of the things I really like the most about this drama is that both characters feel like real people, not shoujo cartoons. And both are mature and grown-up, at that.
