UPDATED WITH YOUTUBE VIDEOS OF EPISODE RECAPS
“Fee-fi-fo-fum,
I smell the blood of an Englishman,
Be he alive, or be he dead
I’ll grind his bones to make my bread”
Giant grandfather Roh looms over Choi Dokyung
Do you remember this verse in the childhood fairy tale of “Jack and the beanstalk”? The giant said this when he came home and he got a whiff of Jack in the air. And this was the analogy which popped into my mind when I watched KBS drama “My Golden Life” Episode 40 last night.
I saw two instances where I could use the “giant” analogy.
Giant Mother Choi looms over Seo Jisu and Seon Woohyuk
One related to Mother Choi. This giant smelled something going on between her daughter Seo Jisu and the young man whom she saw in the bakery shop. Upon investigation, she uncovered the budding romance between Seo Jisu and Seon Woohyuk. As was usual Mother Choi, she used threats to get her way. She would break Seon Woohyuk and him family by destroying their businesses – the woodcraft workshop, the cafe run by his sister and the bakery of his brother-in-law. So good was this giant with her threats she scared her daughter. But the irony of the situation was that she actually didn’t have to do anything as Seon Woohyuk was the one who broke up the relationship after discovering the connections between his friend Seo Jian and Seo Jisu and the latter’s relationship with the Haesung Group!
They have agreed to go separate ways
The second giant, the more formidable and scarier presence, was that of the Chairman of Haesung Group, Choi Dokyung’s Grandfather Roh. I could literally hear him say, “Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell the blood…” as he swept in to the shared house! And this old man with his ruthlessness to get what he wants and everyone to bend to his will will spare no quarters and no mercy. He would highly likely grind Choi Dokyung’s bones and make bread out of it, grandson or otherwise! And he has already started by blocking every avenue his grandson has to strike out on his own!
Grandfather Roh swept in and caught the two together
Worse, seeing both Choi Dokyung and Seo Jian living under the same roof should make this giant even more savage in his strike! I worry for the two of them even though they have already agreed to end their relationship and bury whatever love they have for each other deep in their hearts.
But you know what? The interference of Giant Roh, just might be the catalyst to get these two ill-fated love birds back together with a vengeance! Oh, I live in perpetual hope! But then, I will have to wait a whole week to see what happens next!
“Fee-fi-fo-fum, I smell…!”
PS: Being in Seoul has kind of affected my access to Youtube. I can’t access KBS drama’s recaps of Episode 40 due to country restrictions, so please go check out the KBS Youtube uploads directly to access the videos. Thank you.

“我黄金光辉的人生”第40集：巨人下马威
“Fee-fi-fo-fum
我闻到一个英国人的血液，
活着还是死了
我会磨他的骨头做面包”
大家还记得童话故事里的杰克和魔豆Jack and the beanstalk 里的这段话吗？这是巨人回到家时所说的，他闻到了杰克 Jack 的味道。昨晚观看了KBS电视剧“我黄金光辉的人生”第40集的时候，这就是我脑海中的比喻。
看到了两个“巨人”比例的例子。
The budding relationship got nipped
一个涉及崔妈妈。这位巨人闻到了她的女儿徐智秀和她在面包店看过的那位年轻人之间的关系。经过调查，她发现徐智秀和善宇赫之间的萌芽浪漫。像往常一样，崔妈妈用威胁来阻止她。她会毁掉善宇赫一家人，把他们的生意如木工坊，他姐姐的咖啡馆和他姐夫的面包店都弄垮了。这巨人的威胁是有效的，一下就把女儿给弄慌了。但，崔妈妈其实不必担心。善宇赫一发现了他的好朋友徐智安和徐智秀之间，与海星集团的关系后就跟徐智秀分手了。他不要和崔家扯上关系。
第二位更有威力，更可怕的巨人就是海星集团的卢会长，也是崔道京的外祖父。当他闯入共享房子时，我可以明显的听到他说：“Fee-fi-fo-fum，我闻到了血液…!” ！而这个无情的老头要大家以他的命令去执行，每个人都屈从于他，他是毫不留情的。他很可能就会把崔道京的骨头磨成粉，拿来做面包！而他已经开始堵住外孙的每一条去路和渠道！
Grandfather Roh and his troop descended on shared house
更糟的是，看到崔道京和徐智安住在同一个屋檐下，有可能让这巨人更加凶猛的下手！我担心他们倆，即使他们已经同意结束之间的关系，把爱埋葬在心的最深处。
但是大家可否认为巨人的干涉，可能会让这对苦命鸳鸯拉得更近！哦，希望如此！但要知道剧情的发展，得等待一个星期！
“Fee-fi-fo-fum，我闻到…！”
PS：不知道为什么，但在首尔我不能搜查KBS的Youtube视频，显示出了国家限制的通知。所以，请大家自己上KBS Youtube观看第40集的回顾视频。谢谢！

Parents are the ultimate role models for children. Every word, movement and action has an effect on their children. The greatest title in the world is “parent” and the biggest blessing in the world is to have parents to call :mom and dad. Are Do Kyung’s parents and grandparent Roh the biggest blessing for their children /grandchildren? Do they develop a nobility of character in their children, do they consign their intelligence, energy for life, thirst for knowledge, do they teach their children what’s wrong and right, do they tell their children to work hard, to be dedicated to great ideas and stick to their goals, do they support their children to accomplish their dreams in life, are they kind with their children? “The most important thing that parents can teach their children is how to get along without them .”[ Frank Clark] We can’t speak about such parents/grandparent for Do Kyung and his sisters. Until the mid-2o century ,we can speak about the strict parenting, or authoritarium style, but we can find this style in the Choi family too , of the 21st century. In this family the child’s individuality is overlooked, the feelings and thoughts of the Choi children are of little consideration, as they are regarded incapableof making personal idividual decisions.”Like father , like daughter!”, like grandpa Roh, is Mother Choi., his daughter. Their primacy turns into totalitarian despotism , as their decissions and actions are considered important, correct and no subject of crticism. They take all decissions for their children and leave no choice. DoKyung and his sisters cannot negotiate the change of rules with their mother/grandpa Roh, as their initiative is automaticlly rated as violation of rules. The violation of rules represent Do Kyung’s intention to be independent, to live his own life, to marry the woman he loves, to build his own business, and all these turn him , in his parents/grandpa’s eyes, an irresponsible person..That’s why they try to restrict him from solving his own issues according to his capabilities. They go so far as to make Do Kyung feel a moral degradation in front of his mates at the social house, when his grandpa Roh appears like a scary, terrifying, despotic person. Poor Do Kyung! Will Do Kyung resist his grandpa’s intimidation in preventing him from his independence? I I hope he will!.And I think from episode 41 a fierce struggle will start between grandpa Roh and his grandson, Do Kyung., that will represent a strong signal that Do Kyung can exercise his own rights. Fighting Do Kyung!
Credit goes to writer So. This is no ordinary story. It’s so agonising… the next 2 episodes are still many days away😖
We all know that agonising feeling! 🤣🤣🤣
I guessed under this circumstance will give chance for them to collaborate n fight back his grandpa. CDK had to do somethig to protect SJA. I just looked at CDK,s eyes at end of episode which told SJA that we have to be together. Looks like SJA understood his eyes expression. I just presumed
Can t wait for new ep this weekend so excited!
