Weak women again?

I had enjoyed this drama so far as I liked the idea of seeing the story of this family and mostly what eventually happens to the four brothers. However this episode was disappointing for me mostly because the women characters are turning out weak and whiny like what happens often in Korean dramas. The news reporter is begging Tae Bum to marry her, the neighbour is stalking Tae Sik to notice her and Ja Eun is asking for Tae Hee's help and understanding. I am not liking where this is going but I will hold tight for a few more episodes and hope there will be a less chovinistic slant to the story soon.
