i plan to watch this drama but i will wait till it's completed

Spoilery comments Is anyone watching this? There hasn't been many comments so far.

Episode 4 is where I feel this plot is really starting to take off. I see definite signs that Inchul (evil jerk's nephew/henchman/#2) is going to blow at some point. The usurper president is completely devoid of humanity it seems. His otherwise cocky son is a complete mass of quivering, stuttering fear around him...but Inchul doesn't seem the least afraid of him even while he's throwing books and pottery at his head or threatening to throw him out the window of a 20 story building. I am extremely curious as to how this dynamic is going to play out.

Why didn't Young Kwang's father say anything? There were hours and hours and hours where he could have spoken up to his family and to Jae In that he wasn't her father. I really have to suspend my disbelief at this part of the plot. It seems irrational to the point of insane that simple guilt would prevent him from telling his grown children, his tortured wife and a completely innocent, unknowing and equally tortured girl who her real father was...but i guess that would have moved the plot along to quickly? I believe that a creative writer could have continued to move this story along even with his family and Jae In understanding the truth. I guess I'll have to see where this takes me since I am only going into episode 5.

Jae in and Young Kwang ~ Clearly they are the leads of this show even if in future episodes, there may be a triangle that develops at some point. When will they find out they aren't siblings? I find it so makjang that they would start to fall in love thinking they are blood related. Oh Kdrama...why?

I still feel interested enough to keep watching. The plot is more than a little makjang but its still interesting and I like the cast a lot. I'm trying to defunkify from my drama funk and keep watching!

spoilery bits below...although, since I seem to be the only one visiting this thread, I probably don't even have to warn in bold...however...I shall. Just in case.

Dear Man of Honor;

I kind of like you even with all your makjang-iness. Such as a beautiful key necklace that is thrown in the trash only to appear years later by way of a magical bum who gets beaten up on by the very man who threw the necklace away. And don't forget the girl upon whom the necklace was supposed to be bestowed and in who's hands the magical bum finally places the necklace. A Long Lost daughter dropped at the orphanage by the father of the baseball player she happens to be a big fan of and then meets at the hospital years later when he gets injured in the game. Then voila she thinks she's found her long lost family and who's doorstep does she end up at? Why, none other than the very hot baseball player... This is only one piece of the makjang. There's more...but here is my point.

I wouldn't mind one bit of it except for one thing. Isn't there one writer out there in the kdrama world who could have actually set this in the world of baseball and kept it there? Why..when I think of the possibilities of where this story could have gone! The rivalry of the two main leading men!? Why does it feel like Man of Honor seems more about Jae In? And also..I do get the title. He is all about his honor and pride isn't he? Oh well..Why am I griping? Perhaps I need some turkey and stuffing. Or maybe just a beer.

What happened to this drama?! I really had to force myself watching it through the end. The camerawork became terribly obvious (oh god, enough with the dramatic zooming already !), Yun Jae In with a 360° character turn? The grand mother with alzheimer? And the ending seriously? Going back to where it begins with baseball and nurses? Terrible ideas. No wonder this thread died.
