This is always the flaw in the evil other woman/man's plans: what exactly do they think their coerced relationship will be like? Maybe they are relying on drugging the other person all the time?
Maybe that is why Hero is hitting the bottle? To develop immunity?
This Secondary Girl is even crazier than most because at least in other cases they have a past relationship or friendship so there is hope that maybe once the other person cools down they can build on that (or like in Bali just want the marriage as a status thing so feelings are irrelevant).
But here she's been stalking him for a decade and the most she's got is cold politeness (and usually it was comments more along the lines of 'not even if you were the last woman on earth') - he is no friend of hers and has never been and dislikes her. Not to mention the guy is brusque and blunt to a fault so he won't even try to be nice to keep the peace. And forget seducing him into compliance - not only is he a control freak who dislikes being touched, she's tried it and he acted like her was beyond repulsed.
Reading this made me laugh because I just finished that episode today. That crazy girls needs to dissapear in a hurry, but I find Kang Ha a bit...over-dramatic (oddly enough) for going along with that kind of blackmail when it's not that huge of a deal. Anyway, let's hope it doesn't turn out as acurately as your story seems to be portraying their "if" future. XD
I keep wanting to shake Kang Ha and tell him that WTF - he should tell the hag to go to hell and she can tell Jun ha the truth or not, as she sees fit. Because hello - JH is not a little kid now and anyway, he and KH have been brothers for 30 years or so, how is that going to change things?
But then I remember that KH had a really messed-up upbringing which screwed him up really badly, so what is natural and intuitive to a normal person is not at all so to him - he probably things JH won't love him at all if he knows the truth, and when you combine it with his ever-present belief that he doesn't deserve anything good ever, it's pretty easy to see why he's giving in to the hag.
Still - why would she want a man who earlier told her he won't like her even if they were the only two people left alive is beyond me.
You know, I've been reading your posts about Pick The Stars for a while now and you've really made me want to watch that drama more and more despite The Hag.
I've been downloading the episodes and the subs so that I can watch it all in a big marathon when the drama is over. No more "Arrrgh, why do I have to wait ONE week to know what happens after that evil cliffhanger!" for me. Chuno is already putting me thourgh the wringer that way so I'm preserving my sanity. lol
On a totally unrelated note, I see that you're back to posting more often so that must mean you're back from HK. So here are the subs for Tamra Ep 16 as promised :o)
And Pick the Stars really is wonderful. I might love it more than Chuno which is a huge huge deal (you kinda have to fight through first couple of eps IMO but then it gets amazing).
You're welcome! I hope you will enjoy the rest of the drama. With the D-Cut only coming out in May now, it'll be good to have the subbed eps to watch while wating :o)
I tried watching the first episode of Pick The Stars back when it started airing but couldn't get past the cringe-worthy scene of Pal-Gang protecting Kang-Ha from the angry mob. I think I might start at Eps 3 or 4, when it gets awesome :o)
I rec starting with ep 2, which is where Pal kang loses her parents and has to wise up fast.
I can't help but be amused, btw, that Stars is supposed to be a breezy comedy but it has horrible deaths of heroine's parents, heroine and her little siblings almost freezing/starving to death, heroine seriously considering selling herself as means of making ends meet, and oh yeah, hero having a seriously abused past. Ahhhh, Korea.

Basically - some marriage she is going to have.
