'Marry My Husband' episode 12
Some thoughts before tomorrow's episode 13 of "Marry My Husband"
The Yura character — She wasn't introduced out of the blue. She'd been mentioned often enough and teased enough from the beginning that she was bound to show up. I figured it was going to be some kind of stunt casting because the show was hiding her face. Lost on me though, I have no idea who the actress is.
Yura is not in the webtoon — Yes. But she is in the webnovel, on which the series is actually based on. Whether she's the best character/plot the writers of the series could have picked up from the novel is debatable. But they definitely needed something for the leads after the wedding because in the webtoon, the focus pretty much shifts to Minhwan and Sumin's growing misery as well as Juran's domestic troubles.
Jiwon's reaction to Yura's appearance — OK, this is the part that has caused quite a bit of uproar. What I'm getting is that folks are confused, angry at Jiwon because Jihyuk and Huiyeon both explained he didn't cheat on her and yet she cut off the relationship just like that.
I agree this is about cheating, but I think folks may be looking at it wrong — Jiwon was looking at Yura as the one being cheated on, not her. That in this scenario, she, Jiwon, is the other woman. Like her mom who made the one-sided decision to cut off her relationship with her dad and leave them both, Jihyuk made the one-sided decision to call off his longtime engagement to Yura. This was underscored by the flashback at the beginning of episode 12, when young Jiwon comes across Dad sobbing as he watches Mom with another guy. "... no matter how long you endure, those left behind get hurt. No matter what the relationship is, once it's started, I don't think it's right for one person to end it one-sidedly."
Why didn't she listen to Jihyuk or Huiyeon? Because, like Jiwon said, everything sounded like an excuse. The hurt from long ago was blocking all logic for her. Plus, I don't think she really had time to process because they were immediately hit with the whammy that is Manager Yang's cancer diagnosis. There's that whole "oh shit, I transferred my miserable fate to one of my favorite people" mind fuck on top of all this.
Also, she doesn't know what a witch Yura is (hearing about it and seeing it for herself are very different things) . Once Jiwon finds out and then gets the reminder of how shitty her mom is, she goes to see Jihyuk. Doesn't talk to him but it is a step toward him. I can't be mad at that.
Could this angst have been handled better? Absolutely, given how confused people got.
Anyway, this would all be resolved in tomorrow's episode, I feel. Preview shows Jiwon by Jihyuk's side at the hospital. Don't think she'll be stepping back after that and we'll get our power couple in action again soon.

no because that woman was on a whole new level, bro. i’ve never read the webtoon to keep myself from knowing what’s going to happen, so seeing her push him instead of him pushing her was so fucking shocking. minhwan was fucking crazy but obviously, sumin was more than that. their scenes made me go nuts lol.
that end scene in ep 15 was so intense and had me gripped. i really was sat there on edge waiting to see if sumin died it was done so well it made me forget she flips the table...we are so back

the fact that the simple act of Ha Do-yeong taking his shoes off before entering Dong-eun's home has her showing a semblance of mercy to Yeon-jin has me wanting to cry for the kind soul those bastards destroyed.

GQ Daddy just straight up shoved a guy off a building into some wet concrete and then wheeled his daughter's tiny pink suitcase out of the narrative like what a king

One of my fave things about The Glory is that they just let the good doctor character be a batshit insane twisted fucking cycle path. Not enough dramas do that.
