• This just makes me sad. Character actors can and do have long, successful careers. I would love for them to meet up again if it was in the cards. I guess her mom is paying a price....no grandkids.

• This is why people need to stop assuming what's going on behind celebrity's breakups like we know them personally. It could be amicable or just really nasty. Theirs do sound like it's straight from a family drama.

• When I watched Two Days One Night with YHJ on the show, he was my favorite person to watch! There is something about him that is super attractive, of course he isn't the idol looking type but he was more impressive then any idol I know of. I really like him and the roles he takes up.

  • YHJ is one of many ajusshi actors that I like.

• I hate parents that interfere with their
  Kids' love lives... like let them make their own mistakes unless someone is a murder or a serious offender then I can understand.. I'm so lucky and blessed that my parents doesn't get involved in my love life ..

• at the end, your daughter is still single. is that what you want, mother? sound so heartbreaking after 3 years of dating, it end because of family pressure. even at that age smh.

• She was 41 when they broke up. Isn't that a bit too old for Mama to interfere! In any culture.

  • Not in Asian cultures. Mamas will interfere till their last breath :-( so sad, I hope they will find their way back to each other. I like YHJ, a wonderful actor.

• If it's true than it's really heartbreaking. Reminds me of So Ji Sub and Kim Hyun Joo's sad story when they had to break-up because KHJ's family opposed their union because SJS's mom was a divorcee and he was not considered successful.It was rumored that KHJ vowed never to love other man and therefore is still single. They were young but Kim Hye Soo was freaking 41 years old woman. It's good to be obedient to your parents but at that age you should be able to differentiate between your mom's genuine concerns and tantrums. Yoo Hae Jin is good at his job and looks like a decent guy. He lacks nothing. They should have gone together with their life plans or marriage. I doubt if mother would've really killed herself instead she would've settled down on her own.
  It reminds me of another story told by Jang Hyuk. His parents and agency both disapproved of his wife who has been waiting for his marriage proposal for a long time and he was considered too young for marriage. So they went ahead with their plan of having a family together, conceived the baby, registered the marriage etc. He said after watching the grandchild their anger disappeared into thin air and their bond grew even stronger after that. If you are firm enough to stand your ground there is no way anybody can stop you from achieving ehat you desire.

  • Oh no!!! Kim HyunJoo and So JiSub?? They would have been so different if they were allowed to love each other back then. Wonder what HyunJoo's parents feel when they see her acting as a mom with a happy husband and child onscreen. Must be karma.

    (Although swearing off love in your early twenties is a bit extreme...still!)

    • SJS and KHJ accepted their relationship albeit in inexplicit way in the past. Rest of the story can be just a rumor but it was said KHJ's mother went to the extent of following her daughter to the sets and she teared them apart. Maybe that's the reason SJS has sort of cynical views on love and marriage.

    • Aren’t So Ji Sub married and has a young wife? What single?

  • This would explain why neither SJS nor KHJ haven't had any public relationship, and are still single at the age of 40 and 39. If it's like this, it's a very sad story, because I'm a big fan of SJS, and I'd love to see him being happy with the partner he chooses.

    • When asked about his past love life SJS said in an interview it's all 'tears'. Really sad but there are another example too like JH's where people deduced the outcome of their action successfully and made things happen.

• Da Fuq! Never thought you'd curse Capt. Hehehe, but given the details, she was 41 and hunger strike from mom, indeed ,wow! But I know one one story even worse than hunger strike. My very good friend, the same race as me was and is never to this day accepted by the mom of her husband. The mother in law tried to commit suicide,disinherited his only son from her will just to leave my friend. They got two children, but only one is recognized by the husband's family and is living with the mother in law now and the mother my friend has no way to see her.

• Personality difference is another factor behind their breakup.

  I find it a letdown that details of their past relationship are exposed for all to see and comment on because a media professional needs a juicy tidbit to share during a talk show.

• I think it's the fear of being pronounced as an unfilial Daughter that made her cave in to the pressure. That's how parents are like in many Asian cultures. It's just the extent of how far her Mom went to oppose their relationship, which is too much.
