Backing up a bit to explain the last episode: Se Yoon's father has been diagnosed with stomach cancer. While they're hopeful the cancer can be beaten, the old folks kind of want to see their son married off quickly in case there's no time to waste which is why Se Yoon agrees to get engaged to Joo Ri (whom he stopped from killing herself which adds to the guilt trip.)
Se Yoon's parents are absolutely thrilled when he agrees to submit to the engagement. They totally don't notice how down in the mouth he is at the thought. To add to his gloom and doom, dad urges his son to leave the hospital room right now and go give Joo Ri's mother a proper greeting. Oh what fun. Not.
Speaking of weddings, Chae Won is attending her father's and Choon Hee's ceremony. And just for cheap tears, the Show has Grandma and Grandpa also having a ceremony since they were too poor to have one the first time.
Everyone's in a wedding mood this episode. Chul Goo is looking at an old wedding picture of Chae Won. He has to hide it quickly when EMIL just barges into his bedroom to tell him about Joo Ri and Se Yoon getting married. At first Chul Goo is angry at his sister's choice in men, but then his pea brain gets the idea that if those two marry it will somehow make it easier for him to get back together with Chae Won.
He jumps out of bed, not noticing the picture of his ex wife falls to the floor, when his current wife (and Coco) walk in. Chul Goo goes to get cleaned up while Hong Joo finds the picture on the floor.
Right as EMIL is getting ready to let Se Yoon into the house, Chul Goo comes running down the stairs. He found the paper on the dresser that shows his marriage has been registered; something he had been putting off in the strained hopes that maybe he could wiggle free of Crazy Wife and get back with Ex Wife. EMIL, probably figuring why her son was taking his time, had gone and registered the marriage herself.
Chul Goo is so busy acting like an idiot that they don't notice Hong Joo (and Coco) are standing right there. She starts in on Chul Goo looking at pictures of his ex-wife and not wanting to make his current marriage legal. And this is when Se Yoon and Joo Ri walk in. Take a good gander, Se Yoon. This is what you're getting into. In a way you kind of deserve it after being such an asshole for the last couple of episodes.
Despite Hong Joo (and Coco) storming out of the house in a puff, EMIL attempts to have a civilized meeting with her future son-in-law. Even Chul Goo struggles to apologize for his past behavior. When the women go off to make some tea, that leaves the guys to sit awkwardly in silence until Chul Goo starts running his mouth. He mentions how EMIL tried to bribe Chae Won with a lot of money to resign her job at Se Yoon's company but Chae Won wouldn't take it. Chul Goo goes on to praise his ex for not being the kind of woman swayed by money which is totally opposite from what Joo Ri and Clingy Mom said about Chae Won. Feel the guilt, Se Yoon, for jumping to conclusions and listening to everybody else but Chae Won. FEEEEEEEL it!
Chae Won and her family have just gotten home after seeing Dad and Choon Hee off when Chul Goo suddenly shows up. He's eager to tell her about his sister's engagement. Clueless Boy also thinks if he tells Chae Won how he hasn't slept with his wife yet that Chae Won will instantly want to get back together with him. How many times does Chae Won have to tell him no? Maybe she needs to get a restraining order. Do they have those in Korea?
Hong Joo (and Coco) return to the house with Sour Puss in tow. Hong Joo had run home and told everything to mom so now EMIL is having to make all sorts of excuses for Chul Goo's behavior. Sour Puss once again dangles the home shopping carrot in front of EMIL in order to get her daughter's marriage to become a peaceful one. (More than likely she's getting tired of Hong Joo (and Coco) constantly running home.)
Remember that buddy of Se Yoon's that works at the mental hospital? Well he's back to congratulate Se Yoon on his engagement, only he mistakenly thinks it is to Chae Won. The friend is a plot device to make Se Yoon start thinking about how he really feels towards Chae Won.
Back at work, Se Yoon is having a meeting with his staff, which includes Joo Ri. He has had Chae Won make up some of her cup o' noodles for them to taste. Joo Ri is too busy seething to bother to eat. Later she meets with another woman and gives her some bribe money to "do what I told you to do." Hmmm.
Chul Goo tells his mother he wants to get the marriage annulled so he can get back together with Chae Won. EMIL swears she won't ever let it happen. Hong Joo is having Mrs. Park do Chul Goo's laundry, carefully checking all his wild-ass clothing for anything suspicious (besides being wild-ass.)
The kitchen bitches are on a crowded elevator gossiping about Se Yoon and Joo Ri's engagement. That one bitch admits she kept asking Chae Won for favors. Chae Won must have gotten tired of saying no all the time. Naturally Se Yoon is back in the back hearing all this. Feeeeeeeeeeeeeel the guilt.
Se Yoon stops by the kitchen where Chae Won is working late on some new cup o' noodles selections. After some stilted, strictly professional talk, she congratulates him on his recent engagement. Awkward silence between them. Se Yoon finally says he's sorry but when she asks him what for he lamely claims it is for making her work on the noodle project when it isn't technically her job.
Joo Ri spots them together and seethes.
Chae Won wants him to taste test some of the noodles she's made up. For some reason Se Yoon won't come right out and admit he's lost his sense of taste due to the accident. I mean, what kind of horrible secret is that to keep? Anyway, Se Yoon makes excuses and leaves in a hurry, allowing Joo Ri to step in and be a bitch to Chae Won.
But wait, Se Yoon left his briefcase in the kitchen and is coming back to get it! He gets back just in time to hear Joo Ri once again threatening Chae Won to quit her job. For added measure Joo Ri admits she's the one behind the fake gift basket and the pictures on the website. She's got plenty more ideas if Chae Won doesn't be like the wind and blow.
The next day Se Yoon and Chae Won are preparing to leave together to present her noodles to some business people. Before they're even out of the building Chae Won is ordered to report to Human Resources. She's been accused of receiving gifts in exchange for favors. Se Yoon insists on seeing the report. Argh, I can't read Hangul so I don't know what it says.
Back in his office, Se Yoon has Joo Ri come see him. She's all happy and perky that he wants to talk with her. He shows her the report about Chae Won and asks Joo Ri if she has anything to do with it. Not so happy and perky now.
And now I want noodles.
