Dr.Rajesh, please teach your daughter your language before it is too late. it is one of the best gifts you can give to your daughter. Your service to Korea is much appreciated. You seem like a real healer, unlike most other doctors who go in the field to be above other people.

I think his wife need to accept her daughter is half nepali too and try to show her more about his culture more than those studies. I'm afraid that the little girl, would dislike the culture of his father when she becomes teenager and wouldn't accept how she is.

I feel so sorry for kids in korea, its not necessary to be perfect in everything. I mean she can learn the piano if she wants to not because she has to. Same goes for learning english, its okay if your pronunciation or grammar is not perfect, you learn by making mistakes and speaking more and more. I think the reason that many koreans are not great in English even after so much investment is that they are afraid to make mistakes and so do not have any practice in speaking.

i don't think media promote dark skin as unattractive. just that Koreans tend to have many lighter skin celebrities. so all their makeup are matched for fair skin. she is growing up in a Korean society and she wants to fit in as well as look beautiful in Korean standard.

How did mother in law made him to become doctor. His half of the education and hardworking was done in INDIA and NEPAL before he met her. He came to KOREA only for master and Phd. Master, phd and the competitive exam is the final round of our education to reach our goal, Even me i just finished my master and i am also preparing for competitive exam and i know how hard it is so saying that he became doctor because of her is funny. If he was not preparing from the beginning he would never become doctor but it was him and his parents of who he is today sorry not you mother in law.

[@oceancatalina]

Rajesh seems like a really good doctor. Love that he volunteers!

[@sunnygirly2k4]

There's an irritating dismissal of his voluntary work to his fellow Nepalis! As I understand, he's a doctor as well and his spare time is limited, so why can't the domineering MIL and wife understand that? He's trying his best as it is and is already very selfless! Goodness, too many times in this series do I see interfering, intolerant spouses and/or in-laws, where the foreigner's culture seems ignored. A good lesson for those with delusions from k-dramas, I suppose.

[@blah4194]

so you want your dad/husband to stay out all day long? they want to spend time with him. the kid even cry cause, he was busy with work. personally his work is good but he need to find good balance. if he continue to take more work, she will feel more distance to her father. right now might be good, cause the doctor can come in any time and sees his daughter at home. just you wait, the kid will grow and she will be busy as well with school work, friends, and club activities. he does good work but he need to find balance between family and work.

[@hushiechan]

I think the wife should understand that although korean educational system is tough and will be even tougher sera seems like a snart grl. Shes got it in her genes. Having his dad pass tge medical board exam despite not knowing the korean langyage from the start...man smhe sure is very smart. I hope she also enjoys fun things with her mom..but tgen again evey loving mom has the tendency to be strict. I think her not wanting her color is way more alarming.

[@cee_el]

What a amazing guy. Glad to see his hard work of learning Korean and taking the exams in Korea paid off.

[@donghaeelf10190]

I agree with Rajesh so much! I was brought up like Sera! I remember my mom gave me books to read when I was just 1 years old although I'm pretty sure I didn't understand anything. I started to learn how to write when I was 2 and started doing basic math when I was 3, and piano classes when I was 4. During primary school, I would attend cram schools and more music classes - I picked up another instrument, art classes and dance. I had to practice my instruments for at least one hour a day each, and I had to do my school work and cram school work. I didn't even get good grades. My dad, on the other hand, was like an angel, he organised family outings, taught me how to do housework...etc. I hated my mom for doing this but she stopped after we moved overseas so I could attend high school elsewhere, but she told me the reason why she was being so pushy about my academics and stuff. This is because some of the Asian families (like my mom) experienced poverty and they strongly believe that education is the only way they can escape poverty. My uncles worked really hard so my mom could receive education. Now mom's family is living comfortably. But seriously though, for the sake of Sera's mental health in the future, the mom shouldn't keep pushing her to work so hard, Sera's brain is still developing and these things can affect her mental health/ behaviour in the future, especially her confidence levels :< I hope Rajesh can guide her well and I hope Sera grows up well, she looks like she has a promising future :) Good luck to the family!

[@groupsoulise3702]

He’s the best and such a good man. He is so kind and treats everyone with respect and gives free health checks to the elderly that’s awesome! His wife and I laws are so lucky!

[@saotastic]

They seem like a sweet family but it is strange that he has to even struggle with family vs volunteer work. I think it might be difficult just because his wife is in a traditional housewife role but if she was also a relief worker or inclined to help others in that way they could all do it as a family. I hope they can do that in the future because it would be a good way to spend time together. Also, I hope that Sera's love for her father also grows into a love for Nepal.

[@blah4194]

i thought there will be a struggle, b/c he wants to do much work as possible. at the end, they even said that after he graduated from school, he had 2yrs of free time, and he used it all on volunteering. the wife was upset that he didn't plan time with her. in the show, we see how busy he was but he constantly taking work (translating work) even during work. he great doctor/volunteer/father/husband but just need to find a way to balance it.

[@youngz13o]

She sucks, she said she is frustrated because they can't go on vacation all year because he volunteers so much!?! Lady, you wanted him to become a doctor.... then he became one now he is dedicated to taking care of people on a volunteer basis, a true doctor, passionate about his profession if I ever saw one .... and you go complaining like a child. The people he helps are more important then her vacations and he even feels the same way. What a baby.

[@blah4194]

i don't think there is anything they can do at this moment. she is still too young to understand. father even said kid was pretty but she doesn't accept it. she probably wants to fit in. she will probably grow out of it later on. if she doesn't well, she gets a therapy.

[@blah4194]

you do know that he didn't have to do all that right? he just have to give up on marrying his wife. who would want to give their daughter away to someone with no future. He had NO money, NO good job, and NO good education. the doctor even said he wouldn't give his daughter to some one like him(past version). you can call it a nagging, but she help him literally studied with him to become what he is today (talk more about it on different show).

[@parassingh731]

[@aammbbeerrllee]

When his wife said that she was the one who mainly took care of Sera and for him to basically butt out had me kind of upset, because even if he might not be able to be there that often because of his job, that doesn’t mean that he doesn’t care about her, so I believe that he should get a say in how she is taught. In my opinion, they can teach her some English or possibly Nepali so she can communicate with her father’s side of the family, but she is still very young. Knowing second grade math when she’s still in kindergarten seems a bit too much for me, but I am from America so this is just my opinion. She knows the times tables in kindergarten when I didn’t learn them until third grade. And I am also of the opinion that she shouldn’t have to learn piano unless it is something that interests her, but I do understand that South Korea is very competitive for colleges, but I feel as if she deserves a bit more time to be a child. Of course, my opinions are only based on this one episode, things may have changed since this was aired, and I mean no criticism towards the family, Sera seems like an amazing child.

[@user-mk000]

I don't know how Mother in law made him doctor. He said he studied in INDIA and NEPAL and came to SK for Master which means the half of his education was without his mother in law. And the master and the competitive exam is the final round to reach his dream to be doctor. Nomatter what his mother in law said if hhe was not brilliant pr hard working he would never become doctor.
