I have to say everything you wrote that I have access to I have watched and they are among the favorites of all times. The everyday human family life is addressed in each and every drama. Mother of Mine and Twinkle Twinkle my heart made it the greatest dramas I ever watched in all time. Life your own life is great and so was Father I will take care of you . You are gifted. TDS Nov 19 2023 6:46 pm Live Your Own Life is boring and the mother is Selfish, lacking consideration for others; concerned chiefly with one's own personal profit or pleasure. Laila Sep 18 2023 12:16 pm Really she is a great writer I enjoyed all her dramas Tp Jul 28 2019 8:04 am Thank you for writing such an interesting drama "mother of mine". Each character in the drama has been doing such a fantastic job. I truly enjoy watching it. Thank you! JAC Jul 07 2019 5:50 pm Enjoyed Father I take care of you a lot. I am definitely enjoying Mother of mine. I am confused because of the antagonists in the drama. How many are there? Old chairman and wife, brother in law Birth mother and who else? lrt Sep 09 2017 4:16 am Unintentionally kept choosing her dramas. Didn't realize how many I watched and they were so good that I binge watched. Goddess of Marriage left me in tears. I have watched so many dramas without any emotional response but this one left me with so many questions about relationship choices and consequences. Tooooo good!!! and underrated. She is an amazing writer####!!!! Palwasha Jan 19 2016 11:20 pm Miss Bee I give u APlus for ur ending of the story in Jihye s dad s orchard their reunion should have definitely been there I'm so impressed with ur romantic an meaningful ending Palwasha Jan 19 2016 11:09 pm The most beautifully written drama so much depth of feeling an such a sensitive approach only a woman can truly feel the true feelings of another woman I loved it so so much and enjoyed each minute of it Miss Bee Aug 11 2015 11:35 pm As viewers, we constantly try to predict some of the twists and turns of stories we become attached to. I get some right; some wrong. On prediction I got wrong with Goddess of Marriage was where Ji-Hye and Hyun-Woo would finally reunite: - I thought it would be the café; - then I thought it would be the airport... Long ago (like ten years ago), a writing assignment during a college course was to either add a chapter onto a book, or rewrite a scene. I wrote a chapter to be added onto Edith Wharton's "Age of Innocence". In my really badly written 'extra' chapter, I had the character of Madam Olenska finally meeting her true love again, in Paris. Ha, ha. I got a really bad mark and wished I'd done like most of the others in the class, choosing the easy route, and re-written a scene from one of our books, rather than creating a whole extra chapter. That crappy mark I got has stayed with me over the years, and I rewrite scenes in my head. Still trying to get an 'A' I guess. So, in my mind, i tried to imagine how I'd rewrite the 'reunion scene' between JiHye and Hyun Woo. I loved the cinematography of Ji-hye's father's orchard. Also, I was really sad when Ji-Hye never made it back to Hyun-Woo in the orchard. So my brain wants to figure out a way for her to return, as she promised, to Hyun-Woo, in her father's orchard. The trees would have to be full of ripening fruit. For sure. From an overhead of the tree, the camera 'flies' down to Song Nam-Gil (Ji-Hye's father), who is taking a break from trying to chop the roots of an old tree trunk. He'd been reading his daughter's copy of the book about the painter Lee Joong Sup. We hear the excerpt of Lee's letters to his Japanese wife, recited by Baek Il-Seob's in voice-over. Then, Father hears a twig snap and looks up to see Hyun-Woo standing before him. On Father's face there is a hint of recognition, but he can't remember where he seen the younger man before him. The two men speak. The younger is told that Ji-Hye is away for a day. After some small talk, Father puts down his book on painter Lee, rises, picks up his ax to return to his tree trunk. Hyun-Woo is turning to leave, when Father asks the younger man to lean on the tree trunk, to better expose a root. We see the younger man leaning against the tree trunk, while the older swings his ax. There is a fade out and fade in to reveal Sang _I mean_ Hyun-Woo's powerful hands gripping the handle of the ax and swinging the blade with all his might at a tenacious root. Because I'm Canadian, Native, and raised with brothers in the forest, Hyun-Woo would of course be shirtless as he swings his ax. Sigh... Fade-out. Fade-in It is nighttime and Father and younger man are eating the evening meal. Hyun-Woo's back-pack is in the corner, on the floor, near a bed roll: he is staying the night with Father. The next day, Hyun-Woo is taking a stroll in the orchard and arrives at the same place where, long ago, Ji-Hye was to have returned to him in the orchard. He plucks a rip fruit from a tree, is about to bite into it, hears a twig break, turns, and there she is. (Adam and Eve under the fruit tree in the garden of Eden.) :) NO Scratch that : he pluck a ripe fruit from a branch, bites into it, is fully enjoying it (let's make it a peach) (not an apple) (that'd be too Adam and Eve). Then he hears a twig snap, he turns, and there she is. She says : "You are here." He says: "I've been waiting for you to return." That's as far as my brain gets me. I want there to be some clever exchange between them; I want there to be another scene with Father, daughter and Hyun-Woo, but I have no clue what words to put in their mouths. See? I'm having a hard time letting go of your beautiful story. To the point where I'm making it continue in my head. That's what I did to Edith Wharton's "Age of Innocence". That's what we all do, with stories we love. We dream about how they continue. Sigh... I apologize for taking Hyun-Woo's shirt off in my scene. That does not fit with the reserve I have observed in the Korean dramas I've watched since April. My excuse is that I'm Native Canadian and our men are shirtless from May to September. I'd probably want to add a canoe in there too somewhere. And some feathers. :) Going back to work soon. Loved my summer watching Korean dramas ! Miss Bee Aug 11 2015 6:51 pm Just finished watching "Goddess of Marriage". Although I am Canadian and had never watched any Korean dramas before this year, some of the characters you created are my relatives. My parents split after over 40 years together. My immature mother is similar to Yoon So-Jung's character. Yoon So-Jung's was amazing throughout, but she was an absolute scream to watch in the final episodes. My Mum is 93 and still calls me to give me shit everyday... So, the scene, in episode 36, when Ji-Hye is in her car & takes a call on her cell phone, that scene sort of stopped me dead in my own tracks. When she slams on her brakes, gets out of her car, walks to the rail of the bridge, and heaves her phone into the water, I was having a wee bit of a post-traumatic stress attack all of my own. :) At 93, my mother's memory is failing; this means that at times she forgets what she just gave me shit about 3 minutes ago; on the other hand, sometimes she remembers what she wants to give me shit about, but has forgotten she just called me 3 minutes ago to give me shit about it. :) I want Jo Min-Soo to adopt me as a little sister. Never had a sister. Just a bunch of brothers. My grade-6 teacher was the character played by Ban Hyo-Jung. So, some wise and good women were sent into my little life, and gave me reprieves, here and there. Hurray for the No Jang-Soo's of the world. The Goddess of marriage took pity on me and sent me a mother-in-law similar to the character played by Kim Mi-Kyung character, a mature woman who is my friend and real mother (though her son is no more...) Being a history buff, I researched a bit about Lee Joong Sup. I enjoyed learning a bit more about his life. I wrote this on the AsianWiki page for the series and repeat it here : in episode 31, from minute mark 23, and down to minute mark 21, the writing is exquisite. Your screenplay will stay with me for a while. It will keep me company for a few days. Parts of it will remain always. srmjos Nov 04 2014 2:45 am Hi miss Jo would like to thanks u and congratulates for the excellant scripte that u had donne for the drama of marriage ....as u have very realisticly bring up différent aspect of life without much exeragetion which i have been waiting for long to ses in korean drama ....as i have a great concerne on the developeement in this field, as the k drama had alot of influence on the intelligence of asian country and also other parts of the world due to the popularity ...i felt that se can serve them as a good instruments to serve the population and educate them in a better person that will eventually shape the society and contribute indirectly to the economy .....and growth at personal level and i hope globely.

I guess the mother in law interference in a marriage is a universal issue. it happens through out the world and you manage to captured it well in your story. Wathching ep 35 & 36 is very frustrating. Both TW and JH played their roles very well .....i cried so hard. Good job to the director as well. I would very much want to request you to come up with GOM 2. Pleaseeeeee get back TW and JH together. Please make us happy to see them back together. This time around JH should have realise that she have fall in love with TW. HW is just her pass and she do not any feeling for him (sorry HW fans) Atie Nov 14 2013 10:08 am Goddes of marriage...amazing story...I love all the character... Show the 4 previous comments...
