Trotwood: I consider that she will be able to as a result of not solely is she in a position to acknowledge the actual allies she might have had earlier than, she is now her personal greatest buddy and this greatest buddy is bringing the receipts for each debt owed her.
EPISODE 4
We’re again on the bridge close to Cheonggyecheon Time Tour Market as strangers cheer them on. I really feel secondhand embarrassment for Ji-won. Cute Chef is shocked he did it, I feel. (me, too. He has been hanging onto this confession for years! I would be shocked at myself, too). From a distance, Boss pulls out his telephone and makes a name. Ji-won shortly solutions her telephone earlier than Cute Chef can say anything. Yep! It’s Boss, asking her to come back in for some last-minute work on the workplace. Ji-won hesitates a second, then agrees.
She apologizes for having to move out, however Chef is huge eyed and pleased, particularly when he will get her telephone quantity. As she hails a taxi and leaves, Eun-ho sees Ji-hyuk obvious at him from throughout the stream.
Boss manages to beat her to the workplace and is ready on the entrance. Ji-won muses that Boss Yu has by no means contacted her on a Sunday. He’s prepared together with his excuse. There’s a push to place extra advertising and marketing on-line, and the present command employees are too conservative to take a look at this technique to extend market share. Due to this fact, she and Boss need to shortly put collectively one thing that may assist change their minds. He takes her to a showroom crammed with dazzling shows of KPop movies and journey sizzle reels on numerous sized screens. The showcase is sponsored by an organization she is aware of will likely be worldwide in ten years. Purchase inventory, Ji-won! 빨리 빨리! Ppalli ppalli!
I’ve to say I used to be a bit confused by this scene. I used to be like this was the excuse you got here up with? And the way is she alleged to be serving to you with this? I used to be extra involved as a employee with a boss who is not clear about outcomes. I would be nervous as a result of I wasn’t certain what he needs her to do in that house.
Boss introduces her to an older man, Wang Hueng-in. Ji-won acknowledges him from the longer term as a kind of awful power-tripping azzhats that prefer to yell and assault staff. He likes fairly women and gives a handshake, however Boss intercepts earlier than they contact.
Boss should know this about him, too. I wager his palms are all the time damp. Eww.
On the ruinion, Snakey is cooking to attempt to restore issues, however the pork stomach is tattered and unappetizing, very like her status. She continues to be taking part in the white lotus, however everybody now sees her as a Liar Extraordinaire. All of the Imply Women are centered on her; Bully sees cracks in each phrase from a budget knockoff earrings to the ‘stolen’ boyfriend. Snakey wonders how Cute Chef knew in regards to the reunion; if he hadn’t confirmed up, she may need recovered from Ji-won’s phrases. She performs off her highschool machinations as girlish hijinks not price mentioning at their present age.
You nearly need to admire how she stays on script. Nearly.
Bully isn’t shopping for it and wonders if Snakey had intentionally remoted Ji-won even again in highschool.(Sure) Snakey lastly snaps and yells on the Imply Women that she by no means explicitly advised them to bully Ji-won. She runs to the lavatory to stare at herself and manages to be satisfied she’s the sufferer in all this. However she’s trying ragged as she makes an attempt to name Ji-won. When she lastly leaves the restroom, the whole room is empty and the wait employees is cleansing up the post-party particles.
Again on the showcase, Previous Man is browbeating the assistance. Actually. When he accessed the brand new website, it ended up exhibiting all types of 19+ content material. Ji-won explains how algorithms management content material primarily based on private enter and even she had ended up with some racy content material, however Previous Man interrupts that her job is to look fairly and maintain her mouth shut. Boss steps in to demand respect for his coworker. Previous Man backs down however then takes it out on his personal crew. (I’m guessing Ji-hyuk does nothing about this piece of rubbish as a result of he’s grandfather’s alternative. In any other case, I’d query his choice to permit administration employees to bodily assault U&Okay staff)
On the finish of the showcase, Ji-won thanks Boss for his type phrases. Extra smiles! Extra pink hearts! These two are so cute collectively.
See? This was cute and all, however what was the purpose? It might have been useful to have a pair traces about what he needs her to do with this info or a touch about why we should always care about this man. We all know he is horrible. Is not it right here that Ji-won remembers that he has a scandal about his conduct sooner or later she remembers?
Weasel’s tenting journey is a failure; apparently, he and his homey deliberate to select up chicks and have a bit enjoyable. Seems his homey is married, so I assume scum aggregates. Ten second PPL later, Homey thinks that Weasel’s girlfriend could also be seeing one other man. He will get mad and steals all of the PPL product earlier than demanding Homey cease the automobile.
The factor is that I am unsure why Homey is mates with Weasel as a result of I am not seeing him being the person who is as lecherous as his buddy. I get the sensation that he comes out with Weasel to only get out and he is the one one that really places up with listening to Weasel complain.
There’s a comfy silence within the LandRover. Ji-won stares at Ji-hyuk’s profile. She begins to speak in regards to the reunion the place bullies are nonetheless bullies and dangerous folks don’t really feel dangerous. She has determined to be nicer to good folks. Boss smiles and instructs her to acknowledge and cling to the great folks in her life. There’s a heated stare from him that she completely misses. Boo. Hiss.
She is specializing in her plan. I additionally thinks she means to incorporate him on this group of individuals simply not the best way the viewer needs. She just isn’t all in favour of romance but; she is simply relishing in beginning to have actual mates.
To me, this present and the betrayal, is extra about her friendship with Snakey not her marriage to Weasel. What appears to harm her essentially the most prior to now just isn’t the truth that he cheated on her however that he cheated on her with Snakey. Like I feel she might have recovered from his betrayal not hers. Snakey and her have been mates longer than she was lovers with Weasel.
Boss lightens the temper by asking, what did she consider the R-19+ content material that she had watched. Ought to he watch it too? She giggles and explains she was simply blowing smoke on Previous Man Wang. They each share a superb, healthful snort.
… Which will get spoiled but once more by Snakey’s telephone name. Ji-won dumps it to voicemail with out answering, however then Cute Chef sends her a textual content. Her smile makes Boss frown and remark that assembly outdated mates it good, however good emotions are sometimes fleeting bits of reminiscence. Ji-won interrupts him that she received’t rekindle outdated flames, particularly since she already has a boyfriend. The automobile lapses again into silence however it’s now not comfy or cute.
As a result of she is concentrated on her plan, folks!
As they get nearer to Ji-won’s place, she sees Weasel strolling down the street. A lot to Boss’ silent snickering, she lays again within the set so far as it will possibly go. As they move Weasel, Boss wonders aloud why she’s hiding. Ji-won pops again up – she isn’t hiding in any respect!
This complete scene was hilarious. But in addition heat. I like how he seems at her whereas she is doing this. He isn’t laughing at her; it is like he’s proud that she is making an effort to separate herself from the loopy and finds her lovely within the course of.
Besides they flip the nook and Snakey is sitting on the entrance stoop. Ji-won geese again down, closes her eyes, and throws her jacket over her head for good measure. Boss is much more amused.
😂😂😂
A bit later, Weasel meets up with Snakey on the stoop. She begins sobbing, and he decides to take her to Ji-won’s house. They’re trapped exterior, although, as a result of the door code has been modified. YES!!! Good, as a result of that retains them from mattress-backing on her sheets. Even so, Weasel takes one have a look at Snakey’s cleavage and decides it’s a superb time to go and get drunk.
Our lovely couple finally ends up by the Han River – noooo!
I’ve religion that they will do their greatest at getting us over our Han River trauma.
 |
| Perhaps these guys would assist? |
Besides they’re sharing espresso and private secrets and techniques. Yay, I’m all the time afraid of that Han River Breakup Syndrome. (See? Informed ya) Ji-won admits that she not often steps exterior the consolation zone, however she plans to vary all that and discover her actual self. Boss smiles and says he seems ahead to her transformation.
She mentions the meal package thought, and Boss gives to evaluation it. Ji-won balks at first then agrees. Finally her dream job is in inside design. She additionally needs to be taught self-defense.
Shock! Boss eagerly gives to show her. She thinks it’s humorous, however he proudly states that he’s studied all of them: judo, hapkido, MMA, taekwondo, Muay Thai combating, and kickboxing. Ji-won doesn’t actually consider him.
I do know he seems dorky, however he is virtually an enormous, so I’d have believed him. Any coach would have recruited him primarily based on his dimension alone even when he had no expertise.
Oh yay! In his frustration he removes his glasses and pushes his hair away from his face. She instantly mentions how fairly he seems with out these ugly issues.
At a restaurant (and I need to remark that he takes his girlfriend to a p’macha within the streets however takes this little tart to an precise meals place, hmph!), Snakey and Weasel discuss. She whines that Ji-won has modified and that they don’t really feel so chummy anymore. Weasel’s inner monologue is nothing extra that questioning after which dismissing something between Ji-won and Ji-hyuk.
As a result of it is all the time about him even when he is distracted by cleavage.
Out loud, he thinks that Ji-won is simply centered on work and that’s why she seems distant. Snakey switches to smiley flirtation mode and prettily thanks him for his phrases. They find yourself dancing their chopstick across the similar rice cake. Ugh.
The factor is that they’re so apparent that I discover them boring. There is not even any sexual rigidity simply horndog on one aspect and manipulative victimhood on the opposite.
Lastly, Ji-won and Ji-hyuk make it again to her place. He gives to escort as much as her house. She shyly smiles however says no. He tries a distinct tack; she ought to have a look at multiple doable marriage associate. She thinks he could also be extra of a participant than she thought, however he backpedals to say marriage is necessary and sometime he needs to get hitched. He trails off right into a deprecating snort. Ji-won’s eyes get all sparkly. and he or she cutely says that Boss is cute when he laughs. As a result of it is the reality. He is simply by no means had a purpose to smile or snort at work! They smile at one another.
Ji-won is now in loungewear. Wait, no kisseu? No inviting him as much as see your etchings? Boo. Anyway, she seems over just a few scrapbook pages from Sunny, who created a enjoyable sketch of an house format. Ji-won thinks it’s a superb time to maneuver and design her personal house.
Sure, transfer and don’t go away a forwarding handle!
A buzzing from her mattress is Snakey making an attempt contact once more. She texts gaslighting feedback about how harmless she was in all of the unpleasantness on the reunion, and justifies dropping the bomb on Ji-won as an try to ensure she got here to the occasion so she might reconnect and luxuriate in herself.
It is such an apparent lie that I’m so upset at how little Ji-won considered herself that she believed all of this the primary time it occurred.
Ji-won decides they need to meet head to head to debate issues. After sending the textual content, the opposite annoying fly buzzes to guilt her. It appears that evidently Weasel and Snakey are tag-teaming her telephone. She ignores them each and prays they get collectively and get married ASAP.
Sure!! This. Actually this. Why do not all of the horrible folks simply marry one another, dwell of their worlds, and go away the remainder of us alone?
Her telephone continues to be buzzing and buzzing, however this time it’s Cute Chef! She solutions it they usually have a pleasant chat. He apologizes for his imply actions in highschool.
He’s actually lovely. I like him quite a bit. He is appears such an honest man, and I really feel dangerous for him that he is inevitably going to get his coronary heart damaged.
And we get the flashback that actually drives dwelling how slimy Soo-min was again then. After Eun-ho’s demand that Ji-won by no means communicate to him once more, Soo-min pretends that she advised the boy that Ji-won favored him and this was his response. Everyone knows there’s extra to the story than that.
As a result of none of her tales are correct solely fables she tells herself.
Within the current, Cute Chef says that he despatched her a confession letter and was indignant at her written reply to him. Ji-won realizes what occurred and asks to fulfill up so she might learn the letter he by no means threw away.
The following morning, she slow-struts into the workplace like a rock star, surprising everybody with Ji-won 2.0. Weasel even shoves Snakey apart to drool throughout her. Boss sees Weasel is itching to get his palms on Ji-won and is shocked sufficient to knock over a stack of meal containers.
The 2 of them discuss nearly like there’s no one else within the room, regardless that the whole workplace is wide-eyed and big-eared watching them. It’s actually awkward however cute. Sunny seems speculative; Weasel seems jealous; Ms Kim ships them.
Up on the rooftop, I don’t know what’s going on. It’s a gaggle of largely male staff treating Weasel like he received a Baeksang Award for Hottest Girlfriend. He simply takes all of it in stride like he had one thing to do with it (which technically he did by being a colossal murdering dirtbag I assume). One of many two women warns him that males will likely be after her now that she is fairly.
Him pretending that he knew she was sizzling all alongside is simply so . . .I am unsure why this actually rubbed me mistaken versus all of the sleazy issues he does. Becoming to his character of taking credit score for the whole lot when he actually does nothing.
Ji-won meets up with Weasel afterward within the day. He pretends to care about how she feels, then jumps proper into what’s bothering him. Did she meet up with Boss after the reunion? She admits that they met for work, and Weasel goes off on a tirade that Each Man Is After The Identical Factor and that He Is Prepared To Stake His Declare.
So apparent.
He tries a heavy-handed seduction and will get a Espresso Americano proper within the nuts for his pains.
He runs for the lavatory, bumping into Snakey alongside the best way. Now for the second confrontation! Snakey performs the white lotus who innocently has no thought why these imply women from the reunion are imply. Ji-won thinks in regards to the snakiness of Snakey, however she has to keep up at the very least the outward look of friendship as a way to shift her marriage ceremony misfortune to the opposite girl.
She is extra affected person than me.
Ji-won decides to faux to be ignorant. She by no means had any thought why these women all the time picked on her again then. However they aren’t at school anymore so bygones will likely be bygones. She smiles at Snakey and mentions she plans to fulfill up with Cute Chef quickly.
Snakey wonders how Weasel would possibly really feel about her assembly a man, however Ji-won is assured he trusts her. Plus, he’s busy making aaaalllll that cash on the inventory market, trace trace. The damaged wheels in Snakey’s thoughts begin working.
These two are simply really easy, and never simply because she has seen this all earlier than. I am liking how she’s realizing that they’re each so apparent and sticking up for her outdated self by not belittling the outdated Ji-won who fell for all of this.
On the finish of the day whereas ready for the elevator, Snakey casually asks Ji-won and the gang out for an workplace meal, however a glance from her buddy alters her language into work formality. Everybody has an excuse to not come alongside. Sunny excitedly raises her hand to affix a meals journey, however quickly realizes that it’s simply whiny Snakey who needs this.
Sunny must eat. Folks ought to be feeding her on a regular basis.
The elevator opens and everybody sardines inside. Simply earlier than it closes, Boss exhibits up. Truthfully, I get misplaced his face with out these big glasses. He hesitates for a second, seems on the crowd, and decides to squeeze in anyway. Ms Kim begins a spherical robin dialog the place everybody likes Ji-won’s new look and hopes issues go effectively with Weasel. The doorways open and the troops transfer out. Nicely, apart from Boss, who waits till Ji-won exits the raise. A couple of of the ladies paused to take a look at the pair earlier than strolling away.
He stops to ask why she dressed so good as we speak for work, then will get flustered. He blurts out that he wore contacts like she requested and wonders if she dressed that method for…somebody.
Awww.
A smile blooms on her face as she stated dressing fairly made her coworkers deal with her otherwise. He doesn’t perceive why the garments would make a distinction; regardless, she plans on getting nearer to her colleagues. His answering grin makes her smile to. She thinks he might most likely loosen up his wardrobe and smile extra usually.
Sure, this.
That’s all it takes for him to resolve to name anyone. Oooh will we get to see him in some informal garments?
After leaving her purchasers, Ji-won strolls down the road. She hears a cheerful scream and sees Sunny spinning out of a mall with a designer bag in her arms. She’s a foodie and a shopaholic. Ji-won smiles and begins to stroll in the direction of her, however stops when she sees Ji-hyuk run as much as Hui-yeon carrying a bunch of buying baggage. Her face falls when she sees they’re collectively and really comfy with one another.
Sigh. I’d’ve sighed, too, as a result of I would not need to compete with Sunny. She is fairly and enjoyable and dependable and can need to go to plenty of locations with good meals. What’s to not like?
At dwelling, she remembers in her previous life that Slimeball Supervisor Kim stated that Boss and Sunny had an “inappropriate” relationship at work, forcing Sunny to be transferred. She assumes they’re courting.
In truth, they’re clearly household. Sunny is on the Yoo Mansion, regaling Ji-hyuk’s grandfather with the story of their buying adventures. Oh, she calls him Grandpa too! They go away collectively in Boss’ automobile; as soon as they go away, Grandfather turns grim and orders his assistant to analysis Ji-won’s background.
I am glad they did not drag this out for the individuals who did not learn the webcomic. Additionally, Grandpa is aware of one thing’s up due to Ji-hyuk’s conduct change. Jury continues to be out on whether or not it is a good or dangerous factor.
Boss meets up with the Hen Guys and martial arts them into the ground mats, all of the whereas mumbling find out how to educate a lady self-defense. He takes a protracted, sizzling, steamy, moist bathe. He stares at his reflection within the mirror. We additionally stare at his reflection on our screens.
He has a heart-shaped birthmark on his clavicle, which seems similar to the mark Ji-won’s dad drew on her allowance. Clearly there’s a connection between him and the occasions surrounding Ji-won. Did he additionally transmigrate? (BTW he seems nice with moist hair, simply sayin’)
Have been you speaking? I used to be so distracted and needed to hint that coronary heart that it took me a bit to recollect the place I had seen it earlier than. Then I remembered pondering whether or not he had really met dad, like did he take the identical taxi from past, too?
In a smokin’ smoking gown, he pours a stiff drink and wanders to his sofa whereas speaking to himself. Or, reasonably, speaking to a candy orange tabby.
I discovered the gown jarring as a result of it didn’t seem to be the type of gown he would have. It is extra like one thing Lin Lan Ser wears in Cubic (see that SqueeCap). However then I questioned if his sister purchased it for him. It is the type of factor she’d purchase him to “enliven” his wardrobe, and he wears it as a result of it is comfortable and he is too lazy to purchase one thing else.
He needs to know if he ought to inform Ji-won the whole lot, together with the longer term. Whelp, I assume he did return in time as effectively! That ought to make their relationship improvement should quicker, proper? Proper?
You have got numerous hope. I prefer it.
We get one other flashback at Ji-won’s funeral. Each Weasel and Snakey are arrested mid-meal on suspicious of homicide. He bolts away from legislation enforcement and screams that she was going to die anyway. Ugh. Ji-hyuk watches the shenanigans.
The Imply Women speculate that the arrested pair have been having an affair, and marvel if Soo-min was the catalyst that prompted Ji-won and Eun-ho to interrupt up. Cute Chef exhibits up on the funeral corridor and hears this.
He by no means hated her then. So unhappy for him and her. However why are the Imply Women even right here once they disliked her a lot?
As a result of, causes.
Ji-hyuk remembers feeling helpless and regretful. However throughout that first life, he dodges an orange cat within the street and finally ends up rolling his BMW right into a building website. When he awoke, it was ten years prior to now and he now had his coronary heart birthmark.
So, no taxi from past?
FINAL THOUGHTS
Primarily based on the preview, issues are going to get angsty and violent any further. Nicely, for certain Weasel deserves just a few punches within the photo voltaic plexus.
Hoping that he will get punched quite a bit. However you act like these first eps weren’t angsty and violent, Shuk. Cute Boss has actually brightened or possibly distracted your viewpoint. He dies on this ep, for goodness sakes. I imply he comes again and all, however nonetheless.
I’m unhappy there are actually misunderstandings between Sunny, Ji-won, and Boss. She actually wants a superb buddy and a powerful backer proper now if she is to show her life round for the higher. I hope this doesn’t final too lengthy.
Agreed.
