Episodes 9/3 and 9/4

[hachiue]

It is my turn to ask for updates - I was out of town and forgot to set my vcr. Bad hachiue. But, I would appreciate any summaries!

[jenny]

Oh, someone help her! I've forgotten everything! I do remember how Sat. nite's ended: Eric's dad gave them permission to marry! I'm so sorry hachiue!

OK, you jogged my memory with that, Jenny. Here's what I remember. There was more craziness and threatening from Mi-ran, and she kept showing up at their work until Se-hoon had her banned. Then he refused to answer her calls. Next thing he knows, she's driving up to him as he exits his car and stops just short of hitting him; she threatens that next time he doesn't take her call, she'll run him over. By this time she's also threatened to kill Ji-eun, who quite sensibly asks her what the hell (my phrase) she ever did to Mi-ran. But of course that question can never be answered satisfactorily in Mi-ran's mind; all she knows is Se-hoon has lingering feelings for Ji-eun, so it's all JE's fault, except for the part that is SH's. Everyone must pay, as usual.

The big news is that Eric found out that his father had JE's father killed. He finds out accidentally, overhearing a conversation on that topic between his father and creepy, two-faced Mr. Park (who, as a disgruntled and jealous CEO wannabe/would-be blackmailer), has also taped the conversation on his spy-gadget-type pen/tape recorder). Eric confronts the father, saying, "if you don't turn yourself in, I will do it," then disappears on a multiple-day bender, a la Hyun-kyu in "One Million Roses." He ends up locking himself in his room at home, which places him conveniently on the scene when cheesy-mustachioed dad has him summoned to a restaurant, where he finds dad and Ji-eun sitting together at a table. That's when dad tells them, "You two go ahead and get married." Why? Because, having remembered that Eric worships Ji-eun "like a god," in his words, he knows that the one thing that might shut him up is to offer his consent. That way, Eric has his own reason for keeping quiet: so that he can finally have Ji-eun. Time will tell if Eric's love is of the tragic, noble sort that will cause him to tell her the secret--or if he'll shut up and marry the gal anyway and eventually succumb to the strain (my take on it).

Detective Gadget was also snooping around when Will and Ji-eun were having a conversation about how even though they both have lingering feelings for each other they will forget each other.

On Fri.'s ep. Miran went over to Ji-eun's house and told the mom about how they were still frequenting each other and the mom went all wacko on my Will, asking him what he's trying to gain, calling him a dog, etc. hitting Jieun's arm and shaking her when she got home. JE assured her nothing was going on between them.

Other than that you really didn't miss much on Friday, there were a lot of clips of them working, except Eric--he never works, he spends all his time driving around buying lunch for JE and working on his tidy/mest-up look.

p.s. I was cracking up at all the "emotion" he was showing on Sat. he kept growling, they misted one of his eyes and I guess we were supposed to believe he was crying.

[hachiue]

Thanks everyone! Good to know that I didn't miss, oh, I don't know, a WEDDING with this series.

Eric sucks my butt; I don't like him anymore. Seriously, he and Mi-ran should hook up and she could put the fear of God into him. Also, Jieun should meat a new guy. Sehoon and Eric are both badbadbad - I say this about Sehoon because he's too whiny and too distant with his emotions.
