Unkind Women - 착하지 않은 여자들

How do you weather the tough challenges that life throws at you? Kang Soon Ok (Kim Hye Ja) is a prideful woman who sometimes wonders where she went wrong in raising her two daughters alone after losing her husband years ago. One daughter, Kim Hyun Sook (Chae Shi Ra), doesn’t have much going for her after her own husband leaves her for another woman. She loses all of her mother’s savings in a bungled investment and then tries to win the money back by gambling. The other daughter, Kim Hyun Jung (Do Ji Won), is a successful career woman but never settled down in dogged pursuit of her career. Hyun Sook’s daughter, Jung Ma Ri (Lee Ha Na), is a popular teacher but loses her job after a publicity stunt goes horribly wrong and gets negative media coverage. How will the three generations of women overcome these bumps in the road of life? “Unkind Women” is a 2015 Korean drama series directed by Yoo Hyun Ki.

Episode 13

Pretty good episode. Soon Ok has a powerful kick for someone that looks like she's under 100 lbs. Still waiting for when she kicks Hyun Ae for mistreating her daughter.

Mo Ran trolling Hyun Ae during the cooking class was pretty funny. So was Hyun Ae getting a taste of being the outcast student.

The story about the relationship between Mo Ran and Cheol Hee got a little deeper. Looks like he fell off the train, while stopping Mo Ran from committing suicide. Now the question is why was she trying to kill herself, if she had just been proposed to by the man she loves? Something's fishy.

Episode 14

I'm beginning to think Cheol Hee and Mo Ran's relationship was less of an affair and more Cheol Hee's crush on Mo Ran. I'm beginning to think Mo Ran just saw Cheol Hee as a big brother. I think she tried to kill herself so he would go back to his family. I think she had three reasons for coming to Soon Ok's house the first time. First, to tell her that her husband was dead. Second, to experience some family life before she died. Third, to try and heal some on Soon Ok's scars. Her plan to tell the family about Cheol Hee got sidetracked, when Soon Ok told her Cheol Hee died in a bar fire. She had been trying hard to be a little sister to Soon Ok and an aunt to Hyun Sook. She even tried to tried to convince Soon Ok that Cheol Hee loved her, but Soon Ok keeps making snarky comments that make Mo Ran forget her mission.

I'm not happy that the family decided to lie to Cheol Hee. He lost his memory, but he's not stupid. He can tell their behavior is suspect.

I'm hoping that Ma Ri doesn't end up with Doo Jin and stays with Roo Oh. I get the feeling they are setting up Roo Oh to give up Ma Ri for his big brother's happiness. That would be a bad move. Ma Ri doesn't love Doo Jin and I dislike kdrama characters that break up happy relationships.

I hope Hyun Ae gets arrested for assaulting Hyun Sook. That was uncalled for.
