Well, this will be interesting. Heard It through the Grapevine premiere this week at SBS in an attempt to the gaping hole in the formation of punch that follow to fill a hard act, if it ever was.
an unusual premise impresses with a teen pregnancy between a poor girl have to do is not a sweetness and a rich chaebol that anything but heroic, there is much room for dig expectations-especially with a team so highly recognized as. It is part melodrama, part dark comedy, part coming-of-age story, and a whole hodgepodge of other things to be researched. I'm not quite sure what. For, but I'm willing to give it the good old college try

EPISODE 1 RECAP
We harried father SEO Hyung-shik (Meet Jang Hyun-sung ) is working on his job as a trophy manufacturer before with his brother and wife to his humble home back.
They share a small house and a car between them, but more important is their pregnant young daughter Set to deliver her baby in two weeks time.
you birth order without giving the father may be the baby that all Papa Seo has but about his break howl heart-he had such high hopes for his daughter, and now none be of them ever met. Since babies life ruin.
as well as to see in stark contrast, the lavish mansion of the family of our hero, HAN iN-SANG ( Lee Joon ), who just accepted to study law in the prestigious Seoul University.
, adopted a was added, as his hard-nosed father HAN JUNG-HO ( Yoo Joon-sang ) tells him. Now In-sang to study and become a lawyer like his grandfather has to concentrate, always said:
"A true advocate is a prudent humanist and a passionate rationalist." In fact knew Papa Han adopting his son days before the official announcement because old family connections, so there will be no festive parties on their end. His mother seems relatively satisfied however, and his younger sister often ambivalent.
But as soon as they catch some alone time, lil sis HAN YI JI ( Park So-young ) asks knowingly you oppa when he goes to see, they again-a girl who they called "Bom Bom".
In-sang denies about knowing who she speaks, but a flashback reveals otherwise: He had the puppies been in love with SEO BOM ( Go Ah -sung ) and used the opportunity in her dorm room to get, while they were both at camp studies.
Bom was the one who wanted to keep some distance between them until they were done with college entrance exams, and was also the one who is afraid of the physical was intimacy-not because they did not like him, but because she did.
had found But over in-sang a path to their limits, culminating in a night of intimacy that (probably) responsible on the way for the baby.
they met each other only in the study camp and had several colleges gone, but because she had agreed to change their numbers after parting, the only way for Bom was -sang with to get in contact, to send a letter to his high school, in the hope that they would reach him.
had sent him letters over the course of a few months, initially want just so they could meet tell it a little later in detail, as they dripped from school. She also told of how she tried, would see him in his school, only to turn back.
"I will now forgotten" Bom wrote in her last letter to him. "I hope that you at least get the school you want." That was enough to get him to pay a visit to their school, but he had not been able to find them after they fell out. No one would give him any personal information from her, and she and her family had even moved the last known address.
We see Bom and her mother attend lamaze classes are with Mama in absent for their partner not only there, but at their doctor's appointments. Mom is also to Nosy women in the clinic that their pregnant daughter is only worshiped of their law to save face.
Bom is mostly unaffected by Mom lies / personal wish list, as both a loving relationship to share where they are more likely to act like friends as a parent and child. Mom does not even know who the father is, and Bom to keep it that way. She also talks about Mom, she was unloaded.
In-sang has no other option, Bom, to try and get the track, rather than by a secretary at his father's firm, although they know to be suspicious enough that he tried to find , a girl who dropped out of high school and tells him that they can not help without his parents' attention him.
Meanwhile, In-sang, the nut (which we will simply call Mama Choi), the services of a shaman employs home for her son future benefits to bless. In-sang has in the shower to hide to mask the sound of his screams, while the shaman pastes paper talismans in his room and around the house.
Papi Han on his son university acceptance of a rich congratulates older colleague who complained how the process to become a lawyer, has changed and calls Han Papa his son take the Civil Service to have examination, before it is too late, so he does not need to go to law school.
[1945032[
(Previously you had to take the bar exam and be accepted into the prestigious Judicial Research and Training Institute, to become a lawyer. Before 2011 there were no postgraduate law schools as we are familiar with here in the same time the States, and while postgraduate programs and JRTI is now available, the JRTI is to 2017 expire to create in favor of more American method of attorneys. in-sang either stuff for the final examination in the civil service or the new to be apart by law school system.)
thereof, Daddy Han demonstrates to political manipulation ball because he sunbae with talks is the soon-to-be former Prime Minister. It's going to be far-reaching political influence to a reallocation of senior officials thanks Papa Han, but he is the former prime minister to make sure his firm a (very) finds cushy job.
Mom asks Bom the usual questions every mother would about a possible son-in-law, and Bom answers what they can, without something-except beautify the fact that they do not even know her baby daddy's phone number.
After sitting through a stiflingly formal family dinner, In-sang skips when the secretary who would help initially refused him locate Bom informs him that she has her address found.
Mama Choi talks business with their other high-class snooty friends, especially in terms of their desire to have in-sang the civil service examination before they are finished with completely in a few years away.
Since that tougher route would be to take, can advocate their friends in-sang his college years enjoy according to law school after graduation go , that would be easier. But they all seem like vultures, as they go through Mama Chois things when it is and find the talisman the shaman gave her away.
In-sang takes Papa Seo trophy store / home, are scared only directly by Bom father and uncle (they do not know who he is). He overheard them mention Bom name, when she returns home and throws a glimpse into her waddle into the house to catch very pregnant.
He does not believe it to believe at first, and his questions lead uncle Seo that he is the father. In-sang is too nervous to reject the offer to come inside, and ends on foot on Bom and their whole family.
Bom brings her hand to her mouth sobs the second she sees him, recoiling near horror suffocating. There is a silent moment he shows to her swollen abdomen, but wonder whether, if it is his, and when she nods again, all hell breaks loose.
Papa Seo has held back from attacking in-sang during Bom asks disbelief when he does not know that until now, truly pregnant. Mom seems really happy In-sang is (although I think it would distract if a butterfly over) and urges him to sit, but in-sang drops to his knees in a formal and supplicatory gesture of apology to Bom father.
Papa Seo will have none of it, but refuses to be hilarious in-sang either bend or sit instead referred him bent his head to stand and folded hands before the rest of the family.
Poor In-sang can not even string two together words without stuttering, but manages to eke out that what "has happened ... was because I loved Bom. I loved it then and I love today. I'm going to take responsibility. I'm going to marry! "
he claims that he would Bom imagine his family immediately, but also seems like he is on the verge of a total mental breakdown. Bom cries when he confesses, in a broken voice that he realized that he would not now ever be separated from it, and gaining permission Papa Seo to take her to meet his parents.
It's kinda funny how Bom must ask in-sang when he during the taxi ride, but it is the only thing to bring is a new life into the world in order. They convinced the taxi driver to take a break, so they can have a private moment in the car, and it is only in silence that they allow both to break themselves.
Bom tried to distract him by the welfare card only pregnant women in the age of eighteen is apparent from his, and added that to convince them, she had to make in the program because they 'd just turned nineteen. This seems only the knife deeper into In-sang, when he asks her if she had to do everything on your own.
When she asks if he used a condom at the time, In-sang, he says, but that it is either a bad must've or he did not know, been, how to use it. He takes offense at the regretful tone Bom used because that would mean she regrets the baby. And the baby is only there because they like each other, right?
"I regret it," said Bom. "I like the baby, but for me it was really hard. Really, really hard." It is to still the comfort, the In-sang, which itself can not yet awarded on their own for leaving, even if he did not know that she was pregnant.
Mama Choi and Papa Han are not on-soon to be-wiser new addition to her family, but we know it will not be nice if Dad so obsessed with his son's future, while his values in the past remain as firmly.
he knock a nervous twitch with his head, but it shows that he and Mama Choi at least have a working relationship, despite the likelihood that they married to violence were. Mama Choi reminded him even that it was picked by Daddy Han mother hand subjected to a rigorous selection process.
Contrast that way Bom family waits nervously news from her daughter meets her future in-laws, even though they clearly have no idea how only what comes for a family In-sang.
Bom and In-sang before the inevitable parent meetings a bathroom to take a break, at least until her baby daddy Bom spots at the edge teetering of the Han River. Is he thinking of committing suicide?
sees you with something close disgust when he takes a shoe and sock to dive only a timid toe into the icy waters. She waddles the stairs with intent down to him a coward. "That's not enough! If you die ..."
And then she shows waddling into the water. Haha. In-sang freaks and tries to stop them, try to remind them that they got more than to think himself to commit suicide.
She screams and cries when he drags them back on dry before blatant pragmatism they take him back to the car, she tells cold. The taxi driver giving them blankets and some advice:
In-sang has the courage to call his mother to explain why he late, but Mama Choi thinks nothing of it. You know certainly not what is coming.
Hilariously, In-sang notifies the taxi drivers that they are going to kiss moments before he grabs Bom and plant a right on the lips. The driver shakes his head.
COMMENTS
I must admit I was curious if "black comedy" was listed as one of the four genres Drama, and until I began to suspect until halftime that someone had been a little too ambitious in this department. I'm not really sure if the comedic inclination took in the last few minutes, will be supported by or just planted sporadically, although as of right now, I would say, I would rather have the former.
My initial interest in belongs to him through the grapevine behind the team because was previously Cable Hits helmed wife of Credentials and Secret Love Affair over to jTBC. While both the writer and director have worked on large-scale network drama, it was inevitable that we would be curious to see if they would transition from the cable to a large network weather back, and what must be changed, if at all.
But fans of the production team that no artistic visions on the altar of prime time television were cut short or sacrificed mercilessly can be sure, and in the right place is all so far. This first trip looks and feels exactly like what that writer / director duo produce cable over would so clearly we do not have to undergo a cosmic shift in consciousness to see this drama, without the warm blanket cable available provides. If it was active nothing is missing from this premiere, it would be the right lighting I've got to be nothing against moody shadows and call me picky if I do not the idea of filtering love even the sun-drenched scenes through a lens, the greasy every wannabe -leuchtenden color is brown melodramatic in a different hue.
Visual palette aside, it's certainly an interesting nugget a story with our immature teenage lovers go, and we can only guess what kind of hell on earth in store for Bom is chaebol in-laws on the way. Bom parents a much better impression than the social outsider, with mom and her daughter Lamaze class attendance and work to keep the atmosphere light. In no case is Bom live in a perfect family, but they seem pretty handy during an unplanned pregnancy to have around, all in all.
In-sang is a bit more difficult to decipher, though I'm beginning to think that I him too much credit by assuming there is more under the surface, and you know what I say? It works perfectly. His spirit animal is clearly a scared bunny and all book-smarts in the world can not cover up for a lack of common sense. He is of course by his family to the point are ill-equipped for life in the real world has been spoiled, that's something I'm guessing his relationship with Bom will show it in time.
You seem pretty well grounded for a 19-year-old, who was without him to go through with this pregnancy full intention, so I hope they will keep this force when it faces in-sang the stuffy, perfectionistic parents. Though it may seem for the way like an outcast, to be his mother, said something to read that tend under its own species, and at least does not see them as immediately cruel and unfeeling as most chaebol mothers. For now, anyway.
I hope to do the show the zaniness we hold towards the end during the running saw, because it was so hard even to laugh refreshing, in fact, we laughed at the idea, a pregnant girl who drowning in a river just to show their cowardly friend, how it is done. This is something pitch-black comedy, if I have ever seen it, so keep on keepin 'on, Grapevine . I can not guarantee further recaps at this point, but I'm at least for another episode. Let's see where this goes.
