Revelation of Illness Breaks Hearts of All in 'My Too Perfect Sons'

Scenes of crying out after learning that Hye-rim is suffering terminal cancer

The May 17 episode of "My Too Perfect Sons" brought tears to the eyes of viewers as it became revealed that Kim Hye-rim (Choi Ji-na) is suffering from terminal cancer. Song Jin-pung (Son Hyun-joo) told her husband Brutus (Cho Jin-woong) and sister-in-law Lee Soo-jin (Park Sun-young) about her illness, making them cry out in shock and sorrow.

Soo-jin repented of harsh words she had spoken to Hye-rim, and her childlike husband, unable to believe it, only sobbed.

Noticing that Soo-jin and Brutus acted differently from usual, Hye-rim said calmly but lightly, "See, you two should have been good to me. Why have you made so much trouble for me?" Then, she embraced them and cried, creating a heartbreaking scene.

Jin-pung, whose first love was Hye-rim, went to Hye-rim's house looking back the past, but he just collapsed in front of it in deep sadness.

Sympathizing completely with the characters thanks to impassioned performances of the actors and actresses, viewers posted their impressions on the web board saying, "The vivid performance made me feel heartbroken and cry with them", and "I got to realize the importance of family".

Meanwhile, the episode introduced another conflict into the drama as the biological mother of Oh Eun-ji (Yoo Ha-na), who was thought to have died, appeared after 20 years.

"My Too Perfect Sons" being aired on Saturdays and Sundays has been receiving positive response with heartwarming family stories combined with comic elements.
