best episode of HT i've ever watched in a while. recommended watch tbh, i nearly teared up a couple of times listening to the mothers' stories. also i think Park Eun Hye's story/explanation would provide a little more insights regarding the issue of favoritism among twins by their parents; to answer those ~concerned comments of some of Superman Return viewers regarding how Seo-eon was favored more than Seo-jun by their parents.

is breast feeding not very popular in SK? I notice Hwijae's twins also use formula. I'm just surprised bc here right now everyone's trying to use breast milk as long as possible. We even have donors.

i think it differs to every mothers. hwijae's wife probably breastfeed and uses formula at the same time (she also has to work and she can't exactly breastfeed on tv now, can she) and in hyeyoung's case i think it was more due to health reasons; she had lots of pregnancy complications and she's already fraily small as it is :|

Hmm idk. It's just that the trend here is to use breast milk exclusively. So even workng motherss would breast pump and store/stock their milk to avoid using formula.and if the mother can't produce enough milk, theyor the doctor would help them to find donor. Seeing how much effort they put into avoiding formula, i thought that's the trend also everywhere. I'm just surprised.

This episode was just as good if not better than the Bluff special

Seriously the best episode I've seen in quite a while. It was nice that they added those adult twin guests to share their insights as well and to share what the parents could do and avoid doing.

I swear, I cried along with all the crying, even if I'm not a parent. When Shoo broke down crying while they were explaining how one twin is favored more than the other. :(

Same! Especially since I think the explanation about the twins/favoritism thing applies to siblings as well and I related a lot to what they were saying.

I just watched this and man I'm an only child and am not a parent but I was crying every time they cried. What a great episode.
