Hello again everyone! am going to start recapping all episodes starting from the first epsiode all the way to episode 58. Episodes 59-80 are already posted on this board.
I must tell you however for most of the earlier episodes of this series I only the Korean version of this episode (without subtitles) which contains extra scenes not featured or cut short in the English version shown here in LA.
My Korean is by no means perfect but I pretty much know what is being said although it might not be a perfect translation. However I can I for the most part can give you a definite sense of what happened in the scene/episode although sometimes I'm not exactly sure what was said so I can't go into detail about the scene. And in some cases, I will not be describe some scenes in full detail, or in some cases will leave some unimportant scenes out or might have to summarize the episode in less detail then I have for my recaps of episodes 59-80.
If I describe a scene wrong, or I dont' describe it well enough and you remember the scene please feel free to post a response thread correcting what I wrote in my epiosde recap.
But in the meantime I hope you enjoy the recaps.
Take care,
Jay Y.

NOTE: I only saw the Korean version of this episode without English subtitles.
The opening scene of this series is Yangpal Na (Mr. Na), a retired Korean Army officer sitting inside a hospital waiting room with his three daughters, Deokchill, Seochill and Michill as his mother-in-law, Dool Goo Nam (who will be referred to as "Grandmother") while his wife Myung Ja Na (Mrs. Na) gives to their fourth daughter, who they name Tengchill. Mr. Na desperately wants a son-so he can become a general in the Korean army, and Grandmother has told Mr. Na that she had a dream that their fourth child would be a boy and has promised to compensate Mr. Na that if the baby is not a boy. When the nurse tells Mr. Na that the baby is a girl he becomes upset. Mr. Na yells at grandma as she runs out of the hospital to get away from Mr. Na.
In this episode we learn that:
*Seochill (the second oldest daughter) and Michill (the third oldest daughter) are fraternal twins. Seochill was an excellent student and went to Korea's military academy and is now a sergeant in the army while Michill is an attractive women who is enormously popular with men, but did poorly in school and enjoys spending money on clothes. Seochill is envious of Michill's physical beauty, while Michill is in turn jealous of Seochill because she is Mr. Na's favorite daughter.
The oldest daughter Deokchill is unhappily married to her wealthy but unloving husband Soohan. The marriage was arranged by her mother (Mrs. Na) because she did not want Deokchil to get married to someone in the military and Mr. Na has been looking all around the Korean military to find a husband for Deokchil.
Their youngest daughter, Tengchill is being tutored by Taeja Ban, a law student in english. Tengchil tells Mrs. Na she is going to the library but actually goes out on a date with Tajea. However when they are driving down a street in Seoul, they see Mr. Na waiting at a bus stop. Tengchill ducks down so her father won't see her. However Mr. Na didn't see them anyway. Tengchill tells Taeja that her father always envisioned her as becoming a Korean general but she has no interest and it looks like Seochil will become a general anyway.
One day Michill comes to visit Seochil at the army base and asks Seochill for a favor: to borrow money from her again as she is in debt with loan sharks. However Seochill refuses and tells her to stop spending money on expensive brand name clothing and its such a waste for her beauty. Secohil than says Michill has caused her alot of pain for her, because Seochil always lost her boyfriends to Michil. Michil in turn says she has always been hurt because Mr. Na is always comparing her to Seochil and she has wished that Seochil would disapear and she would have left home along time ago if it weren't for Mrs. Na.
At a cemetery, Mr. Na places flowers on a grave of his friend Goo Sung, a soldier he served in the army with. Mr. Na flashes back to a battle they were in when Goo Sung was killed. Goo Sung as he was dying tried to make Mr. Na promise something, but dies. Mr. Na screams in anguish because he didn't know what Goosung made him promise.
