In KBS drama “My Golden Life” Choi Dokyung’s mother, after vehemently getting Seo Jian to agree not to have any relationship with her son, suddenly did an about turn. She told her son and Seo Jian that she admitted defeat and that they should get married.
This came as quite a shock to both of them and more so, to the audience! Everyone wondered if Mommie dearest was at all sincere about letting the couple finally find happiness or she had ulterior motives.
And Mommie dearest’s hard and angry countenance did not change when she dropped this bombshell. In fact she continued to try to intimidate Seo Jian to perform the subservient role of pouring them tea. Though the romantic among us might think this is equivalent to performing a tea ceremony of paying respect to one’s parents during a wedding ceremony! But Oppa Choi would not have it and offered to serve tea instead, earning a snide remark from his Mommie dearest!
To me, a leopard would find it hard to change its spots. I highly doubt if Mommie dearest had good intentions. Being the corporate animal who indulged in extensive politics and ever seeking to increase her power and influence, the knowledge that she was losing favour with her father, the President of the Haesung Group, to her rival sister, most likely galvanised her into action. Losing her grips on her husband, her son and one of her daughters added to her woes so she had to do something to bring them back into the fold.
What better way to secure her power base and her future than have her son Choi Dokyung return and continue to be heir to the Haesung Group? And after assessing all her options, her checkmate would be to accede to the reason why she thought her son left home in the first instance – Seo Jian.
Will Mommie dearest get what she wants? We will see in the upcoming Episode 45 of “My Golden Life”. For me, I have serious doubts!

“我黄金光辉的人生”第44集: 亲爱的母亲大人
在KBS电视剧“我黄金光辉的人生”中,崔道京的母亲强烈地要徐智安同意不与儿子有任何的关系后,突然转变主义。她告诉儿子和徐智安,她承认失败,答应他们结婚。
她的翻转让他们感到非常震撼,对观众更是如此!每个人都想知道,亲爱的母亲大人是否真诚地让这对情侣终于找到幸福,或别有用意。
当母亲大人抛下这个炸弹的时候,她脸上的严肃,愤怒的表情没有丝毫的改变。事实上,她仍然试图给徐智安脸色看,要她顺从的为他们倒茶。虽然我们当中浪漫的姐妹们可能会认为这相当于在婚礼上表现出对父母敬意的茶道!但是偶吧Oppa崔道京不让她压迫徐智安,自己亲自为大家倒茶,所以亲爱的母亲大人给他反驳的讽刺评论!
对我来说,豹是很难改变自己的斑点的。非常怀疑亲爱的母亲大人是否有好意。沉迷于广泛政治,不断寻求增强势力和影响力的企业家,父亲,海星集团会长,显示对她的失宠,偏向她妹妹,很可能激励她采取行动。而她对丈夫,儿子和女儿失去了控制,加重了她的困境,所以她想把他们再夺回来。
为了保护自己的权力基础和未来,没有什么比她的儿子崔道京的回归,继续担任海星集团的继承人更重要。在评估了所有的选择之后,她的战胜棋子就是认同儿子首先离家出走的原因 – 徐智安。
亲爱的母亲大人是否会如愿以偿?在即将播出的“我黄金光辉的人生”第45集中应该会揭晓。但对我来说,总觉得有严重的怀疑!

So detailed clear observations of especially that tea pouring scene, Nance, Bravo, as you said, many viewers especially Asians would mistaken that as acceptance of Jian kind of gesture. But of course not so, as we know. And as you have said, the love birds should not give in at this point to mummie dearest because we know she definitely has something to her advantage that she moves this checkmate on the chess board. Giving in now would lose what they have been fighting for so long, a golden life of their own freedom of will to live a life that they feel comfortable with. What really curious me is what is the cunning thought mother Choi has that her husband also come to agree with her game plan. Most of all, she should know her father will never approve this marriage, so how is she going to gain brownie points from her father is the biggest curiosity of mine at the moment. And I have to wait til after Chinese New Year to watch episode 45 from KBS World.
爭取成功,道京哥哥努力
Thinking of Choi mother, “Mommie dearest”, a question is crossing my mind. :”To be or not to be? That’s the question>” Is mother Choi sincere giving her approval for her son to marry Jian, or it’s a stategy in her war with her sister and also her father, in getting the supremacy of Heasung corporation, through her son, Do Kyung? Is she giving her approval to her son to open his own busines,and also marry Jian, and after that to persuade him to come back to the company to be appointed as president of the company? Is she succeeds, this means that she is an excellent strategist in bringing back her son to the company and also leaving him enjoy his independence , as a new entrepreneur, with his own new business. That’s the question. And the answer is wated in episode 45 on Sunday. Looking forward to watching it.
