It’s safe to say that the shit is about to hit the fan in Prime Minister and I. Episode 15 will be a pivotal episode as the two people most affected by Na Young’s not being dead find out the twist in the story, namely my OTP of Da Jung and Yul. If K-dramas haven’t let me down so often in puttering to a nonsensical conclusion, I would actually be more pumped about this plot twist. I would have preferred it not to exist but seeing as the drama set it up from the very beginning with all the newspaper articles referring to Na Young as missing, I can live with it since it has created one of the biggest obstacles to any OTP being together. Other than perhaps the OTP being unsuspecting siblings and real incest is going on. Right now Yul is technically still married to Na Young, unless by virtue of her being presumed dead for the last 7 years means she’s legally dead as well under the law. I don’t think he’s registered the marriage to Da Jung yet which is the only relief that he’s not about to become a bigamist. I do think the whole “man is already married” conundrum is a genuinely sticky problem and let’s all hope and pray this drama doesn’t go the way of I Summon You, Gold and have the couple stay together for the sake of conservative societal preference. I’m all for married couples working it out which sometimes includes sucking it up but Yul and Na Young have moved sooooo far beyond that. She tried to leave him for another man resulting in that man becoming a vegetable. She then stayed missing for 7 years because of guilt and regret. I doubt there is any love left between them and their three kids have come out of the worst of it just fine and found joy in having a new step-mom. I hope this writer has a way up her sleeve to resolve the obstacle she create. The worst denouements come when the writer created a problem without having a resolution handy. In the end everyone loses. I love this drama so much I want a win-win solution for all the characters. I want Joon Ki to repent and make his marriage work. I want Hye Joo to find an awesome guy worthy of her who loves her back. I want In Ho to make it up to Yul for trying to back stab him a few times. And I want Yul and Da Jung to have a happy marriage and hopefully another baby of their own to expand the family.
Written preview for episode 15:
Da Jung is in pain and leans against Yul to cry. She finds the fallen ring but lies to Yul that she couldn’t find it. Da Jung is emotionally shattered and wants to speak with Na Young directly so asks In Ho for a favor. On the other hand, Hye Joo hears the news about Na Young and wants to tell Yul but Yul tells her first that he wants to make his marriage with Da Jung a real one…..

oh writer dont break my heart and Dajung
an accident to kill the wife would be nice
I am usually not vindictive, but I agree with you 100%!
You are asking for a lot, Ms Koala, and I hope you get it. I have given up, sad to say. So disappointed with this drama.
aigoo bring all the angst and let all settled in less than 10 minutes at the very end of episode 17. so typical, huh, doh, blahh *puke*
miss K, u asked too much. i only wish one way to end it, i will love to kick na young from top of the hill. sayonara
btw i am wondering with the flower shop scene, is it happen before or after yul meet na young? i didnt remember i see it on ep 14
I hope they settle that ny problem today and we don't have to see her shit angst face anymore.I don't pity nor care for her.please let the last 2 episode a happy nkating time for our couple and we can have the fun like earlier episode and I'm sure the ratings will be up a bit though I don't care about it but just to give the cast and crue some love
Whats goingg onnnnnnn????? I feel disappointed with what its happening. The writers of this drama should better give us a really really good ending!
I don't think the writer will let Yul stay with his first wife. But I could be wrong, but so far I am not worried. Hopefully in episode 15 everything is resolved with Yul and his first wife. Either Yul's first wife dies in some sort of accident or she leaves. Why would she stay? She already made her choice to leave Yul and the kids. She gave up her family for another man. There is just no reason for her to stay.
Maybe she is just checking to make sure that Da Jung will be a good wife to the Yul and be a good mom for the kids.
things make me positive with this drama, the tittle is prime minister and i, not prime minister and the wife. so, definitely i = da jung, the story all about kwon yul and da jung, not with one of the wife LOL.
unfortunately, I think it's hard for the drama to go out with a bang at this point with the OTP unless PM steps it up and sacrifices something in return. It's a really tough bind to write out of unless someone or something gives (and I don't think first wife will go kaput again...sadly).
to people not liking the story anymore, what exactly is it about the drama that is problematic? because the writing and directing is still tonally the same... each episode is still ending with KY and NDJ, making it obvious that they are the OTP. plus each episode still has a lot of OTP moments together that is just too adorable for words! the story is interesting, the execution is interesting too.
is it the fact that the OTP is encountering conflicts that prevent them from being together right now? this should not be it. all kdramas have angst and problems.
or is it the fact that the first wife is alive? why is this a problem? why is this conflict not preferable over everything else? why is this considered to be off limits? and isn't it a good thing that this is being explored?
i guess viewer put their mind on NJ's shoes, so whatever inside her mind, heart they also affected, feel the same way
we just love NJ so much and wish all the best, happy ending with her and less sad. sure the plot will be boring if from the begining till the end all same happy witty story.
all drama has its angst, up and down, it's how you taste kimchi, sour spicy but still delicious.
I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, so don't keep reading unless you're okay with sitting through a miffed opinion of the show:
I actually stopped watching the show (I still glance at recaps and whatnot--like this) because I felt like the show did a bad job with carrying all the maturity it claimed to set up. I like the chemistry between DJ and KY, but as for DJ herself, I'm not a fan. She's just too naive for me to handle, and her character development is sacrificed for the sake of KY and his story, which seems to be the central focus of this show (KY is the center of the posters, has the most character development, has all the baggage, etc.). Na-young could have been a great point of contrast and a way to humble the "perfect man" KY, but that was put to waste for makjang backstory, not to mention that NY's only purpose seems to be to convince the audience that DJ is the only one for KY by making NY as artificially unlikable and pathetic as possible. I remember in the beginning that some were complaining about PMAI being unrealistic. It wasn't unrealistic then--it's unrealistic now. It's so sad to see an independent, self-confident, dream-filled woman be reduced to a romantic interest, kids turned into pawns, and bad parenting being perpetuated because "it's cute" and brings the OTP together. Truly disappointing. I wish it didn't lead me on in the beginning.
this is probably more on "NDJ's choices (parenting/dreams/etc) as something NOT for you," but for the most part "NDJ's choices (parenting/dreams/etc) as somethings that is right for her and the people around her."
it might not be the life you want for yourself, and you might not agree with the choices she makes - that's okay. but at the end of the day, it is her life and it is her choice - and she will live it the way she wants too. you can do the same for yours.
some people do dream of a life as a wife and mom. they are not wrong. and there are people who dream other things too. they are not wrong too. different people make different choices in life that is right for them.
@sassysuzy: I'm all for women who want to be homemakers, that are happy and do it because they feel like that's the life they want to lead. DJ however, was given no choice in the matter. KY says jump, DJ says how high. When she is questioning why she'd bother to care for WR, she says it's because she loves KY--which is great from the romantic standpoint, but if you then consider that DJ wants to be acting mother for these kids and her only motivation is love for the kids father, it leaves me ambivalent about her role as the kids mother. She seems like she's playing doll house rather than taking on the responsibilities associated with being a mother. She doesn't connect with WR and NR the way she organically connects with MS--yet we're supposed to believe that WR and NR believe that DJ is the center of their world. I personally can't believe that.
Again, I don't want to take up space explaining why I don't agree with how DJ was handled. Honestly, my expectations were so high that the only place to go was rock bottom. My thoughts shouldn't deter anyone from enjoying the show for what it is. PMAI just isn't the show for me--I care about it, but I don't actually like it.

i think nam da jung is one of the better written kdrama heroines... but it is probably a difference in interpretation though.
it's cool. things speak differently to each one of us.
everyone is entitled to their opinion.everything is a matter of perspective. for example, american hustle won the best motion pic in golden globe where i got a head ache and boredom with the convoluted deceptions. i think 12 years a slave is better.
Please don't give up... press on.. it will be a happy ending.. if it's not.. I will NEVER watch another Kdrama ever!
Please let it be a happy ending. Three more episodes to go and I hope that with it's end yul's first wife goes to . Nam da Jung you cannot loose. Fighting!! :)
