As Chae Won tries to wrestle the sleeping pills away from Chul Goo, a whole bunch of people start piling into the hotel room, including a cop who says he's here to arrest the couple for adultery. I still want to know if you can be arrested for that in Korea or if this is just DramaLand law. Chae Won starts explaining the whole situation but Chul Goo is of no help whatsoever. He realizes if he's charged with adultery then he's automatically divorced from Crazy Wife so he's like, "Yeah, I'm guilty. Guilty as hell!" Again, is this really legal in Korea?
Chul Goo is so anxious to be arrested he sticks out his hands and demands to be handcuffed. Say, what happened to all those pills you were clutching just a second ago? Yet as the cops take Chul Goo and Chae Won down to the station, Hong Joo begins to doubt what happened happened.
Clingy Mom and Miracle Dad (because he was cured so quickly and completely of his stomach cancer) are out with friends having dinner. Miracle Dad says he's stopped drinking, yet there's a glass of red wine right there in front of him. Just what is your idea of stopped drinking, Miracle Dad? The other couple ask if the rumors about Se Yoon are true. Clingy Mom insists her son's engagement has merely been postponed, not broken off.
The thought that her son is being talked about so upsets Clingy Mom that she has to excuse herself from the table. She goes out into the lobby to talk aloud to herself and that's when we the audience learn just where she and the others are eating - the restaurant in the hotel where Chul Goo and company are now being escorted out of. Clingy Mom sees a distraught EMIL crying after her son as she arrives on the scene. She also notices Chae Won is in the thick of things whatever is going on. EMIL is none too quiet as she loudly denies her son wasn't committing adultery with his ex-wife, which of course Clingy Mom is going to hear.
Down at the police station, Chul Goo swears he and Chae Won have been carrying on a torrid affair for months now. Chae Won looks like she could kill him. Then we'd have a murder, the only thing lacking in this show so far.
Clingy Mom and husband return home to yell at their son for embarrassing them with the broken engagement. Clingy Mom just can't wait to tell Se Yoon about Chae Won being arrested for adultery.
After being released from custody, Chae Won slaps Chul Goo, and it's about damn time! She tells him she's sorry now she bothered to save his life and should have let him just go ahead and kill himself. Oh man! Chul Goo, still not getting it, tries to hug her which is when Se Yoon drives up. He jumps out of his car and slugs Chul Goo. Chul Goo tries to come back at him. With one arm around Chae Won, Se Yoon uses the other hand to catch Chul Goo's wrist and wrap it behind his back. Smooth.
Se Yoon puts Chae Won in his car and they drive off. Unlike last time, at least now Se Yoon gives her the chance to explain what happened. Chae Won asks how he even knew she was at the police station and is mortified when he tells her his mother witnessed the scene at the hotel. Se Yoon tries to put her at ease by telling her he spoke to the company lawyer and they should be able to get Chae Won out of this trouble.
When they arrive at the noodle house, Choon Hee thinks they've just been on a late date, which neither denies since they want to hide the truth. She invites Se Yoon in for some tea, his first time inside the noodle house. He makes his formal bows to the grandparents. The whole family is impressed with him, especially after the one uncle identifies Se Yoon as the son of the company president.
Choon Hee is in the kitchen with the aunts and only now learns that Se Yoon is the son of her old friend, Clingy Mom. The aunt with the pink lipstick still warns that Clingy Mom will not accept Chae Won and be even worse than EMIL.
As Chae Won escorts Se Yoon out to the gate, she argues with him that he went too far tonight. She never agreed to date him so he shouldn't have acted like a potential boyfriend to her family. Se Yoon just smiles and replies he's not giving up on her. Sooner or later she'll come around.
When she comes back inside, Chae Won overhears her father confiding in his wife that he's not sure about this whole thing. He worries that Chae Won is potentially getting into the same mess she had with her first husband and his mother. Choon Hee admits she's also got reservations when it comes to Clingy Mom. So naturally Chae Won has some thinking to do.
Clingy Mom is not happy to learn her precious baby has been out cavorting with a divorced woman. Seems Korea is still back in the 19th Century when it comes to attitudes towards divorced adults.
The next morning Chul Goo awakens to find his wife snuggled up with him in bed. He screams like a banshee! What's she doing in his bed since they were divorced last night? Hong Joo admits she overreacted last night and she doesn't want a divorce. Since she's still his wife, Hong Joo sets to work straightening him out. She tells him to accept that fact that Chae Won is not coming back to him and he'd better stop drinking.
Later that day Chul Goo is in his office (which I've just now noticed looks like a set from the Mike Douglas Show) when EMIL and Hong Joo, now acting all chummy, drop in for a visit. They've just come back from the police station where Hong Joo had all charges dropped so the divorce is canceled.
Chae Won is over in her office when she has her own visitor. Oh no, it's Clingy Mom! She gets right to the point - no way in hell are you going to be with my boy. Also, Clingy Mom has arranged for someone from Human Resources to be coming to see Chae Won soon. This can't be good.
That evening Chae Won is preparing her resignation letter. Se Yoon comes waltzing in as he usually does so she quickly hides the letter. He's come to reassure Chae Won that all the charges made against her have been dropped. As a thank you he orders her to make him something to eat. It all started to look good to me until she mentioned the squid. Not a big fan of squid.
Chul Goo returns to the police station to beg with all his might to be charged with adultery.
Both Choon Hee and Clingy Mom receive late night calls from the orphanage. The director is fading fast so if they want to see her one last time they'd better hurry.
Se Yoon returns to Chae Won's office only to find her desk cleaned off and her resignation letter left behind. He jumps into his car and chases after her bus. While a sad song plays, flashbacks remind me how Se Yoon had a really bad haircut at the beginning of this show.
As Chae Won gets off at her bus stop, she's surprised to see Se Yoon arrive. In front of her he tears up her resignation letter. And litters! Se Yoon, give a hoot, don't pollute. Finally he makes his move and plants one on Chae Won's lips. At first she doesn't look too into the kiss but in the next shot she's grabbing his butt. I swear to you, that's where her hands are.
Thirty-two episodes and only now are we getting to the first kiss. Is this the slowest romance in Kdrama history?
Choon Hee is the first one to the bedside of the orphanage director. Do nuns wear their habits when they're on their death beds? This one does. Clingy Mom comes in next and is distraught to see Choon Hee back here in Korea. Choon Hee reminds her they can talk later, right now they've got a dying nun to cry over. Only the nun doesn't want Clingy Mom. She gasps for breath as she harshly orders Clingy Mom to get out and calls her a thief.
Hmm, what could she have stolen. A baby, perhaps? Hmm.
