Lol, Soju! I remember that line! I love 'The Three Stooges'!
Quick Recaps (random order): -Suk-hyun declared his love for Jong-nam and kissed her. Suk-hyun is all for loving Jong-nam, but Jong-nam doesn't accept his love because she knows it will hurt their families. -In-bum proposed to Jong-nam, but she didn't accept his proposal. -Suk-hyun told his mom that he loves Jong-nam and wants to marry her. -Ki-woong is upset when he finds out that Hae-in is going on a blind date.

Also, Hae-in's mother is sick of her husband's nagging over shopping receipts and is playing sick, and Hae-in is helping her. She's starving herself in front of him but eats in secret. There's a bowl of popcorn under a chair in the living room.
Did you see Ki-woong with his camera trying to catch the con artists who scammed his father? A young guy took over the stakeout when KW had to work. He's a friend of Dajeong's. KW got them on video with another taxi driver, and turned them over to the cops. His father might get the money back.

There is one more small, but very telling scene in which Jongnam tips her hand (all puns intended). Now, I don't remember the original airing of this flashback, but apparently there was a "playdate" where Sukhyun and Jongnam were playing a game very similar to "jacks" in which the player takes 5 "stones", places them on top of a fist, tosses them into the air and tries to catch as many as possible before they hit the table. Jongnam does not do too well and is criticized by Sukhyun for being inept and uncoordinated. She challenges Sukhyun to to better, but for each stone dropped, she gets to smack him in the head; he drops 3. She flicks him in the forehead 3 times and he complains that the "rocks" were plastic and had they been real, he would have surely done better. When he went A.W.O.L. and was combing the beach, he chooses five fine stones out of the sand and pockets them. After his return to civilization (he spent a night in a roach motel; really, it was infested) he meets Jongnam for a cup of coffee in the park and gives her the stones exclaiming, "Here, now we won't be bored for 70 years." Just prior to her mom asking her to bring the kimchi to Inbom (which was when he proposed to her), she's sitting at her desk and pulls out a plastic box which contains the five stones and smiles lovingly..... yes smiles lovingly . One more thing, after the second guest appearance (which was successful, 98% sold) Nara happened to be at the station in Sukhyun's office and sees the monitor with our heroine doing her thing. Nara flips out and calls Sukhyun on the phone; he tells her to stay put, but she flies out the office (she needs a broom) and runs into Jongnam in the hall at which point she accuses her of going back on her promise to quit being a guest. Fuming, she now demands that Jongnam quit immediately, but Inbom comes on the scene and asks, "What are you doing to my employee?" Nara thinks he's a Well Being employee, but he explains he's a vendor and that Nara had better back off......

Niagara Falls? "Slowly, I turned. Step by step. Inch by inch . . ." Posted by Lovely on Yesterday at 20:02: Lol, Soju! I remember that line! I love 'The Three Stooges' ... Sorry, Lovely, don't mean to be a nitpicker, but of course, I am sometimes; That line is from Abbott and Costello In the Foreign Legion. They are put in a cell with a nut case and the Nut Case keeps muttering that line while getting closer and closer to Lou Costello. I just saw this movie again recently and that's one of the "high points" in that comedy. ;D Okay - I'm done ... back to my corner ..

Arrrrrrggghh, those larcenous bums !!!!!!! Just one more piece of evidence that Lou Costello stole his entire act from Jerome "Curly" Howard, and why [glow=red,2,300][shadow=red,left,300]the Stooges are supreme[/shadow][/glow] (except for The Marx Brothers, but they only did full length movies.) Here is irrefutable evidence of the crime of grand larceny: Gents Without Cents Studio: Columbia Pictures Year: 1944 Stooges: Larry Fine, Curly Howard, Moe Howard Director(s): Jules White Producer(s): Jules White Story By: Felix Adler Screenwriter(s): Felix Adler Description: The Stooges are entertainers and meet up with three dancers, Flo, Mary and Shirley. The Stooges then move from rags to riches and find love along the way. Famous for the "Niagra Falls" scene. Length: 18:58 Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion (1950) Directed by Charles Lamont Writing credits D.D. Beauchamp (story) John Grant ... (more) Add to MyMovies IMDbPro Details Genre: Adventure / Comedy (more) Plot Summary: Jonesy and Lou are in Algeria looking for a wrestler they are promoting. Sergeant Axmann tricks them into joining the Foreign Legion... (more) User Comments: A glowing tribute and satire of professional wrestling (more) Kudos to Lovely for being a fan. ;D

Captain Video soapy grams is correct also, but she got the movie title wrong...Abbott & Costello originally did the "Slowly I Turned" routine in the movie "Lost in a Harem" in 1944...
It is widely accepted that the routine was a vaudville act for some time befor either of the groups mentioned above put it on film...
Later Lucy used it again.....
The "Slowly I Turned" scene from "The Ballet" episode of "I Love Lucy" first aired on February 18,1952. Ethel tells Lucy that Ricky's show needs an emergency substitute performer and Lucy wrongly assumes it is a vaudeville act needing her. Lucy performs the "Slowly I Turned" routine during the ballet, bopping the dancers and causing chaos as only she can.
Extensive research has revealed that comic Joey Faye claimed authorship of "Slowly I Turned" in its many formats. Born Joseph Palladino in 1909 on Manhattan's Lower East Side, he appeared in burlesque and vaudeville shows, usually as a sidekick to the star, often Phil Silvers. He was in 36 Broadway shows, including Man of La Mancha as Sancho Panza, and dozens of movies. He had his own series, The Joey Faye Frolics, in 1950, and appeared as well in other television shows, such as The Real McCoys, Perry Mason and Maude. His most recent claim to fame was as the green grape in the Fruit of the Loom underwear commercials. He continued to work until well into his 80s and died in 1997.

Thanks for all of your research, Ducky. If I may offer this substantiation of my original statement, the following is taken from the website, My Pal Moe, by Bob Bernet here"Moe let us in on a few lesser known details such as how Curly had been a "bad study," meaning that he had trouble memorizing lines. As a result, Curly would often improvise when he forgot a line and would sometimes drop to the floor and spin around like a top! We have all seen him do it, and now we know how it started. Moe also revealed that Lou Costello was known to "borrow" Three Stooges films from Columbia Pictures from time to time. Presumably, it was to study Curly. Inevitably, Moe said, Curly's routines would show up in Abbott and Costello features." "If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do suck seed." Jerome "Curly" Howard

I thought you were talking about the "slowly I turned" thingy.... they both stole that from Joey Faye...While the Stooges are far superior to A & C, they are just as guilty of plagarism in this case..... As for the spinning on the floor, I have been known to do that on special occcasions

I thought you were talking about the "slowly I turned" thingy.... they both stole that from Joey Faye... I was, and again, thanks for the research; I wasn't aware of that. While the Stooges are far superior to A & C, they are just as guilty of plagarism in this case..... Thanks again for your research, and it's reassuring to know that you have good taste in comedy; I suspected that it was an old vaudeville routine (which by the way, I found out that The Three Stooges came from vaudeville, Bud and Lou started in burlesque and The Marx Brothers started on Broadway as a musical act with smatterings of comedy). It is fairly well known that the greatest comedians relied heavily on their writing staffs; Hope and Berle had voluminous file cabinets of contributed jokes, but also had the talent to recall them at a moment's notice. Where would Sid Ceasar have been without the writing staff of Woody Allen, Mel Brooks, and Carl Reiner (in alphabetical order, but three of the funniest men, ever)? I just find it necessary to defend The Three Stooges from slander, and also from attacks and misunderstanding by most women; again kudos to Lovely for being a fan (now, if she said she liked Grateful Dead, I may have had to propose marriage ). As for the spinning on the floor, I have been known to do that on special occcasions Just be careful of the furniture; those table legs can be painful and lamps can be costly to replace (no, not since I was a child, and I never broke a lamp) . Again, thanks for the information. Seeing as how I have mentioned Bob Hope and I saw Jesse Jackson at Gospel Fest yesterday (by the way, there were a large number of Korean people in attendance; I found it very difficult not to run up to each of them and say, "Anneung Haseyo, and I love Channel 41!"), I must impart this gem from Dick Gregory, as told to John Callaway on The Friday Night Show a few weeks ago. Mr. Gregory recalled the incident of being awakened by a phone call at 5am from a reporter asking for a comment on the death of Bob Hope earlier that morning (although not having been particularly close to Mr. Hope), to which he replied, "I thought he was dead already!". He then proceeded to offer this quote to the journalist, "I think that Mrs. Hope and all of the Hope children should get on a plane and fly to Chicago, immediately head to Operation Push headquarters, get down on their knees and kiss Rev. Jesse Jackson's feet. For 40 years, he has been preaching, "Keep Hope Alive, Keep Hope Alive!" ;D

:)Awesome research Ducky - thank you. Guess I got my movie titlles mixed up ... oh well, did I miss winning that $64,000 question? LOL ... On the radio shows like Jack Benny, Red Skelton, Fred Allen, Bob Hope, you would often hear someone refer to Milton Berle as being the King of ripping off other's jokes ... back then all everyone did was LAUGH .. they didn't sue because most of the comic routines were not copyrighted. There was a good deal of ad libbing back then by ALL the comics. ;D Jay Leno is much funnier when he ad libs than when he reads off the monitor ... at least in my own opinion -~
