Due to a VCR malfunction, I was not able to tape episodes 5 and 6 last week. Could anyone give me a summary of what happened?
Thanks!

Okay, this is what I remember. She’s at the store about to pay for the stuff when all of a sudden Miran greets her and tells her that although she’s in a wheelchair she’s happier now and introduces her to her Will. Next scene they are drinking tea together (we don’t know how Ji-eun ended up paying for the stuff) and Mi-ran is going on and on to Sehoon about how Ji-eun got married against her parent’s wishes. Ji-eun is shocked.
Se-hoon and rich guy meet and they exchange a few phrases. The most meaningful is “We have the potential to either be friends or enemies.”
Some other stuff happened but I am a little pressed for time right now. It ended that Ji-eun is Se-hoon’s maid/helper but she doesn’t know it until she sees the coat her mom bought for him 10 years ago.

I'm a little messed up because there was only one episode on, but I also remember something important. OK, remember that Mi-ran and Ji-eun used to be friends, and Mi-ran has this vacation home by the ocean. Back in the day, Mi-ran gave Ji-eun and "her fiance" (who Mi-ran doesn't know is now HER fiance) the use of the vacation home for a weekend or something. Now Mi-ran's father is selling the home to the fiance. That's where the scene with her tearing up her will took place, by the way.
Anyway, he buys the place (and spends some time alone, reminiscing about the time he spent with Ji-eun there when they were still in love) and he and Mi-ran are spending the evening relaxing there. She starts talking about this friend of hers who brought her boyfriend there years ago and says, "You met her--she was the one I introduced you to in the store." So, taking a little trip down Memory Lane, Mi-ran calls Ji-eun and invites her (and her husband, because Mi-ran lost touch with her and doesn't know that Ji-eun is divorced, let alone that Se-hoon is the guy she was married to) to go to dinner with her and her fiance at some future date. Jeepers! What is Ji-eun going to do?
What else. Well, the younger sister is still a bad lot, coming home drunk and blaming Ji-eun for their father's death. Mom is still home watching TV and "Breakfast at Tiffany's." As stated in another thread, Ji-eun is now doing her housemaid/personal assistant duties for "the new CEO" (her ex-husband) of Eric's company. She spends all day at the house cleaning and cooking, and apparently she is supposed to wait for him to come home before she can leave, because she stays there all evening waiting for him. (He's out drinking with Eric.) She finally gets up and starts wandering around the house. She opens the wardrobe in the bedroom and sees a suit she recognizes . . . but whose is it? ?? And the last thing we see is her ex-husband coming home and saying, "What are you doing?"
Dun-dun-DUH!

Jeepers! What is Ji-eun going to do? Jeepers, indeed, Lucy. (I think I'll start calling you "Sparky" ) One more thing. When Mi-ran called Ji-eun, Ji-eun was walking home in the rain from an inelegant evening with Bok-ja and her childish "boyfriend" who became sick-drunk. So, here's Mi-ran all happy, inviting Ji-eun to "bring her husband" to dinner with Ji-eun's ex-husband, if you can follow that. Her standing in the rain there, the way they pulled the camera back from the scene, her in her little flat shoes, with that woebegone expression on her face. That's when I started to like this drama. That's all. Bo

Hey, Bo, who's Sparky? Or is that just a name that sounds to you like it goes with my 1950s-style expostulations? Can anyone fill me in on the beginning of episode, er, was it 6? Friday night's episode--I don't remember where I came in on it, but I do know that Ji-eun and Mi-rin were having lunch together and the beans were spilled about her divorce. What I think I missed was the scene right where the last episode ended, with Ji-eun discovered by Se-hoon as she looks through his closet.

Sorry for the late reply, Lucy but I didn't watch my tape until last night. Okay...
Well she's there pretty much frozen and he's just like "What are you doing here" (I guess he's referring to his bedroom) and she says "Is this why you requested me, to show me how successful you've become after you divorce me?" He kind of looks ticked off by that remark, but comes back with "Did you ever once think that I came back because I still love you?"
Then I think he tells her something about thinking about her from time to time and she says that she hasn't--she's forgotten him. I also think that he says how can they hire a person who can't even fry an egg.
So Ji-eun says that she'll have to stop coming to his house if it makes him uncomfortable, but he says that it doesn't, so she can leave when she's done w/the housework, she doesn't need to stick around.
The next day she's preparing an omelet for him and then drops the eggs when she sees him in his bathroom (he looked mighty good to me too!) so his instinct is to clean it up himself, but she tells him, no she'll do it because it's her job. He's touched that she remembers he's left handed (because she puts his utensils to the left instead of the right side). She also gives him back his dad's pen. Hope this is all you missed.

Thank you so much, Galacticchick! That's exactly what I missed--I came in on the eggs falling.
What th'!! And yet, after he says this, in the manner of all convoluted, indirect Korean soap opera relationships, they move on to something else. Rather than this being the culmination of weeks of hinting and mutual rediscovery, he says it outright, and it's then glossed over and we return to our regularly scheduled bantering and veiled hostility.
Ji-eun, girl, next time he says that, you grab that man and yell, "Me tooooo!"
Good advice, from Lucy

So instead of seeing them hug and say how much they've missed each other we get Ji-eun hang around w/loser Eric. I've only seen ep. 6 so I'm not to sure about my statement, but doesn't it seem like Se-hoon is the one that reaching out to her? So much time has passed and he's still the one always taking the first step (except when she "seduced" him). I loved that scene where he volunteers to clean up the eggs she just spilled, I don't know why.

I guess even after 10 years have passed they still have some unresolved feelings for each other. Be it good or bad.
