Thrice Married Woman Episode 1

Also known as The Woman Who Married Three Times. Also known as That Chick Who Just Doesn't Know When To Quit.
 
 
 
An old guy is outside in his backyard, applauding and laughing at Nature. Inside the huge mansion, the old man's son, Kim Joon Goo (played by Ha Suk Jin of Shark) is running on a treadmill. His wife, Oh Eun Soo (played by Lee Ji Ah) is ambling around with a glass of tea on a tray. Ho-hum, Show.
 
Meanwhile, Eun Soo's sister, Oh Hyun Soo (played by Uhm Ji Won) is surrounded by pictures of adorable cats and dogs. What the hell happened to her hair, though? Hyun Soo makes a living by designing clothes for pets.
 
...And, that's all we get of her for the moment.
 
Elsewhere in another palatial mansion, Jung Tae Won (played by Song Chang Ui) is being chewed out by his overbearing mother for not getting his daughter, Seul Gi, away from his ex-wife, Eun Soo. Oddly, the child isn't living with her mother but with her maternal grandparents.
 
Back at the Kim house there's golf talk and "Why ain't she preggers yet?!" talk.
 
Nothing really happens for the next ten looooooong minutes.
 
Eun Soo is out somewhere getting her makeup done when she has an encounter with celebrity Lee Da Mi (played by Jang Hee Jin). Seriously, that's how the woman introduces herself: "I'm celebrity Lee Da Mi." Maybe she's the Kim Kardashian of Korea. Anyway, we learn Celebrity Lee Da Mi is Joon Goo's mistress.
 
Hyun Soo, wearing a frumpy dress suit to go with her frumpy hair, is attending the wedding of Ahn Kwang Moo (played by Jo Han Sun). Is there something supposed to be up between these two? I'm too bored to care. Oh wait, something finally happens. As a depressed Kwang Moo and his chirpy bride are standing at the altar, he suddenly makes tracks for the nearest exit. The mothers of the bride and ex-groom get into a shoving match.
 
Eun Soo stops by to see her abandoned daughter. Seul Gi understandably doesn't want to have anything to do with the bitch. At the same time Tae Won drops by to also see his daughter and Seul Gi showers him with kisses. Eun Soo accuses her ex-husband and his family of brainwashing Seul Gi and causing the emotional distance between mother and daughter. (Oh yeah, it has nothing to do with you abandoning your child and not spending much time with her.)
 
Hyun Soo returns home to discover Kwang Moo asleep in her bed. She kicks him in the junk and orders him out. He whines he has no money and nowhere to go. Hyun Soo breaks down and makes him dinner. Suddenly his jilted bride starts to come through the door. Kwang Moo leaps behind the couch to hide.
 
 
 
I'm patting myself on the back for persevering to the end of this atrocious show. Avoid this Kdrama at all costs!
