We be taught extra about our returnee dad’s time away from his household, as he ramps up his effort to win his ex-wife’s coronary heart. Thankfully — and sadly — for him, his daughter is not the most important resistance he faces in his quest, as she is simply too busy catching emotions of her personal.
EPISODES 5-6
This week, Ae-yeon steps into the entrance seat of her household, her life, and properly, the drama as an entire. She begins by reminding Mi-rae that she’s able to taking good care of herself, thanks very a lot. She encourages her daughter to spend her cash on herself as an alternative of “partaking in a infantile battle of wits with Moo-jin,” however the latter doesn’t take the “infantile” half too properly. Afterward, Mi-rae asks if her mother bought divorced as a result of she pressured her to finish issues with their dad, and Mother replies that the divorce will not be due to Mi-rae, it’s due to her. Ae-yeon explains that she held out within the marriage due to her youngsters and she or he additionally made up her thoughts to divorce due to them. And with this clarification, I hope Mi-rae can cease feeling responsible about her dad or mum’s divorce.
Moo-jin treats Ae-yeon to an costly meal, and she or he calls him out on his lavish spending. I imply, there’s folks on the market benefiting from his recklessly bountiful pockets! Moo-jin says that he is aware of individuals are benefiting from him — does he find out about Jae-geol? — and he doesn’t thoughts. However what if he goes bankrupt once more? “Then it’s best to hold me in examine,” Moo-jin replies, and for this reason they bought divorced within the first place. Nobody desires to scrub up after a financially irresponsible man. It’s clear that Moo-jin has learnt nothing through the years, and Ae-yeon tells him in clear phrases that she has no intention of getting again along with him. Dearest buyer, your romance card simply declined. Oops!
However, issues are slowly heating up with our elevator couple. Mi-rae catches herself smiling at Tae-pyeong and feeling upset after they half methods, and she or he realizes she’s treading on harmful waters. She attracts the “Don’t be too good to me” line between them, and leaves Tae-pyeong feeling very confused as a result of my boy can be catching emotions. Aww. Tae-pyeong affords to go along with Mi-rae on a piece journey that proves she’s horrible at aegyo however excellent at her job. Afterwards, they cease by the seaside for a date, or to absorb the surroundings, or no matter it’s the youngsters name it as of late.
Sadly, Moo-jin can be on the seaside to assuage his damaged coronary heart after Ae-yeon’s rejection, and Mi-rae can not imagine the person screaming his lungs out within the sand is her father. That is means too embarrassing for her and hilarious for me. Heh. Regardless of going via so much, Moo-jin nonetheless manages to look good in his scruff and leather-based jacket, however that’s not the purpose. The purpose is, Mi-rae tells her father that he ought to simply have stayed useless, and Moo-jin sadly replies that he solely meant to make amends together with his return.
Afterwards, Mr. Former Baseball participant tells Mr. Taekwondo Teacher that issues received’t work out between him and Mi-rae as a result of the ladies in her family are sick and uninterested in athletes — and I wish to knock Moo-jin upside the pinnacle for projecting his marital points on Tae-pyeong. *Violently burns sage and sprinkles holy water* In case you destroy my ship, sir, I’ll push you inside this water.
Mi-rae quickly finds out that Hyun-jae took a go away of absence and spent his tuition on some nonsense entrepreneurship endeavor. “8 million received is nothing,” Hyun-jae replies, assured that their wealthy dad will spend money on him and he pays again his sister. However this isn’t a case of counting chickens earlier than they’re hatched, it’s counting earlier than the eggs are laid. Sigh.
Mi-rae studies Hyun-jae to Moo-jin — who has already crammed out the paperwork for switch of possession of Household Villa to Ae-yeon, as per the pledge — and she or he tells him to repair his son earlier than he even thinks of leaving. “Though you by no means needed it, you’re a dad or mum. So take duty,” Mi-rae says, however she doesn’t get to elaborate on what she means by her assertion as a result of father and daughter instantly have to cover from Ae-yeon — who will certainly kill them each if she finds out they made a wager on her behind her again. Lol.
In the meantime, Ae-yeon is simply too busy making an attempt to make sense of her discovery that Moo-jin and Hairdresser Tenant are acquainted — after seeing an image of them collectively in Thailand. Ae-yeon remembers that Hairdresser Tenant was pregnant when she moved into Household Villa (though she had a miscarriage later), and she or he wonders if Moo-jin is the bastard that knocked Hairdresser Tenant up and deserted her. Unable to confront Hairdresser Tenant, Ae-yeon asks Moo-jin about what occurred in Thailand. However he senses a touch of jealousy behind the query, and refuses to reply — as a result of in response to Moo-jin math, jealousy = Ae-yeon nonetheless has emotions for him.
Hairdresser Tenant finds out that Ae-yeon has seen the image, and she or he clears the air: Moo-jin will not be her child daddy. Phew! I didn’t doubt him for a second, nevertheless it’s nonetheless good to get the affirmation. Hairdresser Tenant explains that she and Moo-jin grew to become pals in Thailand, and the rationale she stored the image is as a result of she was pregnant on the time, and since she by no means took a sonogram, it’s the one image she has along with her child.
After her child daddy ran away, Hairdresser Tenant needed to return house however couldn’t afford the flight ticket, so Moo-jin gave her all the cash he had. Again then, he informed her that she reminded him of a lady who’s struggling to lift her youngsters alone after assembly the mistaken man. And within the current, she realizes that he gave her the cash with Ae-yeon in thoughts.
Hairdresser Tenant fills in a few of the “what did Moo-jin do for cash” blanks, and it seems that he offered one thing. No, it’s not medicine, and it’s not his kidney both. Mr. Presumed Gangster really offered women footwear, and he was a foot mannequin for them footwear. LMAO! I about died on the visuals of Moo-jin strutting the makeshift runway in purple heels, a straight face and soulless eyes. However promoting footwear on the native market doesn’t clarify how he made sufficient cash to purchase a constructing.
Talking of Thailand, Mi-rae books flight tickets for herself and her mother. Lol. And to make sure their mini trip will not be disrupted, she pushes up a product launch at work which leads to time beyond regulation, overwork, and 0 sleep. Tae-pyeong affords to drive Mi-rae house so she doesn’t sleep off on the wheels, and she or he worries that she’s being a nuisance. Like he can learn her thoughts, Tae-pyeong assures her that she’s not a nuisance. If something, he finds her cool for residing a really diligent life. In response to Mi-rae, delay is pointless as a result of her future self should deal with procrastinated points anyway, and taking these phrases to coronary heart, Tae-pyeong decides to honor his father’s invitation for a household operate.
Tae-pyeong fits as much as the temple for his late grandfather’s memorial service, and right here, we discover out that: 1) Grandpa is Tae-pyeong’s start father; 2) CEO Nam is definitely his older half-brother; 3) CEO Nam put Tae-pyeong on his household register as a son in trade for his CEO place. Daebak! The late chairman most definitely had an affair, and the grandpa-fication of his personal son was performed to cowl up the affair.
It’s ridiculous how the prolonged household blames Tae-pyeong for being born as an alternative of directing the warmth to GrandpaDaddy who couldn’t hold it in his pants. And to make issues worse, CEO Nam makes the start conspiracy sound prefer it’s no massive deal — to him, it in all probability isn’t, since chaebol households are bizarre — and he offers Tae-pyeong the “develop up and cease performing out” speech after the latter storms out of the pretentious memorial service. Tae-pyeong tells his DaddyBrother to cease feeling a way of duty in the direction of him as a result of he can stay properly on his personal, and CEO Nam returns to the memorial, clearly upset. Sigh. Not my elevator couple individually having daddy points.
Because the week attracts to a detailed, Ae-yeon additionally finds out that Hyun-jae plans to give up college, and she or he goes out for a drink. Because the lively dad or mum within the youngsters’ lives, she feels it’s her fault that Mi-rae grew up too quick and Hyun-jae is rising up too sluggish. However Moo-jin doesn’t agree along with her evaluation, and he assures her that she raised the children properly. The jury is likely to be out on whether or not or not Moo-jin’s return is helpful to the household, nevertheless it’s in instances like this that I don’t thoughts his return as a result of Ae-yeon won’t have been capable of freely vent about her perceived failings as a dad or mum to anybody else.
A music comes on within the bar mentioning previous recollections of their love story, and Moo-jin asks if Ae-yeon by no means felt lonely whereas he was away. She replies within the detrimental, however she admits that she was bored every so often as a result of she didn’t have anybody to combat with. By this time, Ae-yeon is already drunk and Moo-jin calls it an evening.
Equally, Mi-rae is on her means house when she spots a wasted Tae-pyeong sleeping on the highway after the disastrous memorial service. As she drags him house, he asks how previous she is, and he drops to banmal on studying that he’s a yr older. “Mi-rae-ah,” he addresses her, in casual speech, and my good sis immediately folds. Lol. Tae-pyeong collapses into Mi-rae’s shoulder, and when he nuzzles in additional, she reminds him that she has a aircraft to catch in just a few hours. “Don’t go,” Tae-pyeong says, and I swooned.
Mi-rae decides to drop Tae-pyeong off at a motel since she doesn’t know the place he lives, and Moo-jin has the same concept with Ae-yeon as a result of she doesn’t wish to go house. The quartet run into one another within the hallway, and the alcohol immediately clears from their eyes. Lol. Tae-pyeong and Moo-jin fall over themselves as they attempt to clarify the scenario to Ae-yeon and Mi-rae respectively, however mom and daughter are livid with one another and their present life decisions. The lights within the hallway exit as Ae-yeon fees in the direction of Mi-rae and Tae-pyeong, and I like this model of chaos! Hehe.
Tune in subsequent week to seek out out which aspect comes tops: Second-chance couple or Elevator couple? Ae-yeon and Moo-jin are nowhere near beginning anew as a result of whereas Moo-jin is remorseful for his previous actions, he has proven no indicators of enchancment within the current. He retains dodging an important questions, and I’m uninterested in ready for him to come back clear about his mysterious cash. However, the elevator couple continues to provide me all of the feels. I like the pure development of their romance, and I can not wait for his or her sluggish burn to escalate into fireworks.
