Heard it through the Grapevine Episode 2 Review

Standard
Heard it through the Grapevine A.K.A Heard it as a Rumor A.K.A I heard a Rumor [HITTG]

Thoughts
very very interesting show...
This is actually the first korean black comedy I'm watching, and I am enjoying every single second of it thus far.
Once again, i felt uncomfortable throughout most of the episode. but I keep coming back for more. Its a very fun ride to be be on, with the dynamics and quirks of the different characters.
This episode we saw more of In Sang's family and environment.
Also, the two main characters are "isolated from the world" in different ways which I think is a sign that the show is more character-driven than plot-driven (I really hope so!). Bom is separated from her baby while In Sang is separated from his family(both biological and newly added ones) to focus on his studies. It is very funny how at this time the rich family wants to juggle being humane and caring to the baby/mother while still getting In Sang to become a lawyer and to "maintain" their status, haha. Well, I guess they hold enough power to do whatever they want.
I am quite curious and wonder if this situation happens in real life, how would the people involved react. :/ Why is the dad Jung Ho so concerned with saving and caring for the baby? I'm almost certain it isn't just his kindness nor conscious that is leading him to do such a good act. If they wanted to get rid of Bom and the kid, I'm sure they could have done that pretty easily with money and power... but the fact that they didn't, means that there's something deeper than what we are seeing as of now, and I can't wait to find out his motivation in doing so. I am thinking that it could be that he wants to respect his son's decision to a certain extent given so much restrictions he had already imposed on In Sang, but I am doubtful. #curious

Preview of Episode 3
Would In Sang be able to escape from his new room?
Why is Bom so shocked?
I think that next episode will be more focused on Bom's family? Hopefully this coming episode or the next. ^^

While I catchup on the drama, why not follow and tweet me @raycherr? :) I tweet about various different kind of entertainment.
