My long, strange journey is about to end. There hasn't been an extension, right? I hope not. I have other dramas to watch.
Chae Won is at the airport, calling Se Yoon's cell phone and leaving a voice mail asking him to call her back as soon as he hears this. It'll be awhile, honey; he's in cardiac arrest.
Clingy Mom returns home late and Dick Dad asks where she's been. When he hears she's been out giving Chae Won a plane ticket for Se Yoon's flight, Dick Dad gets hot under his Polo shirt collar. Clingy Mom, probably tired of hearing all his negativity, says they should just go ahead and end their marriage. Right in the middle of their argument they get the call from the hospital about their (not) son. Clingy Mom immediately calls Chae Won with the news.
Clingy Mom and Dick Dad accost the nearest doctor with news about Se Yoon. With the usual bedside manner DramaDoctors have, this guy tells them Se Yoon was revived from his cardiac arrest but now he's got a blood clot and even with surgery about 60% of patients like this end up dying. Thanks alot, Dr. Doom. Chae Won and her luggage arrive to cry outside of the operating room.
Someone must have called Choon Hee and told her about her son. Her husband is driving her to the hospital. He blames himself for the accident since he's the one who told Se Yoon where to find Choon Hee. (You'd think after 49 episodes I would have learned his character's name, but nah....)
Chul Goo's new job is to drive drunk people safely home. It just so happens this night he'd dropping off a guy who lives right next door to Chul Goo's old house. For old time's sake Chul Goo can't resist checking the mansion out and is curious to see the lights in his former bedroom are on. Has someone already bought the place and moved in?
Oh well. Chul Goo starts walking away, never seeing the car pulling up in front of the old house. You know who it is. I know who it is. We all know who it is. It's Hong Joo (and Coco - with an orange tail?) Welcome back mighty pregnant Hong Joo. And there's the prison matron, Mrs. Park, to welcome her to the house.
Poor Chul Goo - yes, at this moment I can feel sorry for him - comes home from work to a house of wailing women feeling sorry for themselves and each other. Cheer up, Chul Goo brought you some KFC!
Chae Won, Choon Hee and Clingy Mom are allowed to see Se Yoon in post-op. Another doctor tells the weeping women that while the surgery was successful, Se Yoon must be carefully observed as he might have brain damage. Only time will tell.
Choon Hee and Clingy Mom comfort each other in their darkest hour. Dick Dad finally climbs down off his high horse and apologizes to Chae Won for being such a dick.
Music video interlude.
EMIL is complaining of acid reflux so Chul Goo insists she go to the hospital. Is that a smart car he's driving? Anyway, Chul Goo learns about Se Yoon being here as a result of a car accident. Up in Se Yoon's private room, Dr. Doom gives even more bad news to the family that if Se Yoon is in a coma for longer than four months then his chances of survival drop to 15 percent.
More scenes of weeping.
A mysterious woman with big sunglasses and a big hat hires Chul Goo to drive her. Without saying a word she gives him a note telling him what her destination is. Finally she speaks and Chul Goo recognizes her voice. He pulls into that handy lane on the highway that's just for dramas. Since she's the customer and he's the hired help, Hong Joo gets to order him around to her heart's content. She demands he take her out to eat. It's not until he's helping her out of the car that he realizes she's mighty pregnant.
Inside the small restaurant (say, isn't that the same restaurant where Choon Hee's been working since she's divorced her husband?) Chul Goo still can't believe he's the father. After all, he was drunk and it was only one time. Yes, Chul Goo, as well as all you teenagers out there, it can take only one time.
Chae Won offers to stay with Se Yoon for the night so Choon Hee can go home and get some rest. Around her neck on a chain Chae Won wears the ring she was supposed to put on Se Yoon's finger if she hadn't have run off on their wedding day.
After hearing about her former stalking victim's condition, Joo Ri dashes over to the hospital to see him. The two women are civil to each other and Chae Won allows Joo Ri to visit with the boyfriend in a coma they both love.
Time passes. Clingy Mom appears to have gone back to the orphanage to work. Se Yoon is still in a coma. Chae Won still refuses to wear a hair net while she makes noodles. Clingy Mom prays to the Virgin Mary (although at the beginning of the show she was praying to Buddha. Make up your mind, woman.) Hong Joo continues to enjoy bossing Chul Goo around and makes him go with her for an ultrasound.
It's been a month since the accident. Dr. Doom comes into the room to give Chae Won his doom and gloom diagnosis that Se Yoon is now a vegetable and will probably never wake up. Thanks alot, Doc.
