LG is at mom's restaurant with gifts. He's on a mission to make her accept him. First attempt fails.
Omma volunteers to take care of LG if he gets sick because she thinks of him as a son, but she doesn't want that fate for KMY. (Makes ZERO sense to me, but we need to lengthen the story, I guess.)
"Can you let Mi Young go? I can't allow it." Ok, Omma. You're going to be taking care of LG if he gets sick and KMY is just going to go on with her life not paying a bit of mind that the one she loves fatefully is being taken care of by her mom. Will that make the loss of LG, should that happen any less because she's not there taking care of him. Wouldn't that make it even more painful for KMY? Yearning to take care of him and be with him in his suffering but blocked by her loving, caring mother? See, this makes no sense (to me). -
A week ago JH has a dream that he has forgotten who KMY. He wakes up calling "JangNara!"

KMY and LG are making bread and have a sweet morning k-i-double-s, like nibbles. LG volunteers to be KMY's assistant. So cute! -
Wedding photos of LG and KMY. It's their wedding! Oh, wait, LG and KMY are missing. They've disappeared. They are driving away in the wedding car, holding hands, but no, wait, it's a backup, reverse like episode 11. We're going back in time folks.

@kbee123: It's a BTS of episode 18.
45 minutes to show time! -
Another improvement in LG's character from the K-FtLY is his forthrightness with SR. In the TW version JCX never even tries to tell Anna about CXY and the pregnancy. He tries to hide it from her as long as he can. That is so cowardly. While in the K-version, LG tries to contact SR more than once to tell her what's happened. When LG does tell her in episode 8, he buries his past with SR in the mancave and without regret, without wavering, with steadfastness he sets his course toward KMY and GD. That is so manly!
It's been interesting to see how the K-FtLY re-worked and re-imagined the scenes from TW-FtLY. The first 10 episodes share many similarities. The essence of TW-FtLY is there, but the embodiment certainly belongs to K-FtLY alone. Brilliant screenwriting! Or would that be brilliant screen re-writing? Whatever it is I appreciate both very much. It's probably my favorite Asian drama story. How 2 distinctly different individuals in character, background, family, and social status are thrown together by such bizarre circumstances and seeing what fate and the choices made within that bring about in their lives. There's another good story currently working out these themes in the drama Love Cheque Charge. It's a daily from TW, so it's LONG, but it would be worth a marathon if you can stand the slower pace of a daily and TW-style storytelling. The quandry of fate and freewill are getting a new twist and it's an interesting thing to ponder.
Thank you FtLY teams for two entertaining dramas that make my heart swoon, break, and sing! -
Did a mini re-watch of TW-FtLY today and one thing I noticed was JCX tried to deny his feelings for CXY while in the K-FtLY remake LG keeps giving into his feelings for KMY. Whenever the TW male lead would notice growing goodwill toward CXY, he would suppress it, deny it, and fight against it. Whereas LG in the K-version kept going toward his growing romantic feelings for KMY. The only time he hardened his heart (which didn't last long) in Act 1 was episode 5 when he thought he had been deceived by KMY and the island residents. If I got the initials wrong for the TW-version, I apologize. I've never really gotten their names even after re-watching so many times. It all sounds the same to my Western ears and subtitles don't help for some reason.

I saw Halmoni in another drama today. She was one mean woman! Now I see why viewers were so shocked to see her in the Halmoni rolel! She's absolutely adorable in FtLY. I still love her happy dance. That actress was born to play the mean ladies though. WOW!!
-
Sorry, chingus. Didn't get to watch with you today. Looking forward to @sooyoungdaebak's hs/ss.
I'm glad my first introduction as an actor to JH was FtLY. I had never seen any of his other works. So, my first impression set the bar high. It seems he has an undercurrent of danger in all of his works that I've seen since. Maybe it's because he chooses those kinds of roles. I don't know, but I never quite trust his character in the other dramas I've seen, even though he's turned out to be trustworthy. He also has those killer stares that pierce through a person. His eyes can express any emotion he chooses to display, just the eyes. You can watch the thoughts change as you watch his eyes. Amazing.
Some things I appreciate about our beloved Lee Gun are his sense of responsibility, decisiveness, trustworthiness, loyalty, and extravagance. Oh, yeah, and the suits! Marvelous, dahling, marvelous! -

That was my worst recapping efforts ever. There's just too much that happens in this episode! I can't keep up.
This episode was hard to get through like episode 12. These two episodes get my vote as most heart-wrenching, hand-wringing, tear-spilling, tummy-turning, gut-punching, brain-freezing, and yet, I wouldn't want it any other way. The masterpiece that is FtLY.
Thanks to all who re-watched and recapped today. -
KMY meets Halmoni. Love her!
KMY in her former rooms at Lee Manor, the bedding has changed. She enters the mancave. Sees all of GD's stuff. Turns on the video recorder just like her first visit to the mancave...and the rest...( ( ( -
What's this? Lee Gun is leaving JangIn and Korea? What?
All LG can see for his future is disease and dying. His words at his parents memorial are so bleak. "Take care of GD until I can join you." Oh, the poor man! He needs some snail medicine. -
KMY visits GD's accident site once more before leaving for Paris. LG's there too, across the street.
(
KMY has listened to the recorder. DP heard it too.
DP turns the car around. They are no longer going to the airport, but to Lee Manor. -
LG goes to Omma's restaurant and who happens to be there? KMY.
LG is choking down his food, literally.
LG said goodbye to Omma. Painful scene. -
Love the scene with EK/KMY interview at JangIn with LG listening from the second floor. KMY shines through with her thankfulness and sincerity. Reminds me of the scene when she returns home after finding out LG had sold Yeoul Island's factory. She was unhappy with LG, but she still chose soft words and thankfulness to speak to him.
-
KMY and the lawyer meet after and he leaves the recorder in her purse. That's not quite ethical, Mr. Hong. But we the viewers are oh-so-happy you did it.
Step-mom tells the elder about LG's disease.
SR and KMY meet again. Why? Can KMY not say no still? Anyway, SR doesn't apologize for her actions, she just informs KMY of what she did. She doesn't regret it or show remorse about it. Why even meet? -
At the office, LG and his lawyer are talking over his last will and testament. EK/KMY arrives returns the money for the painting, and confronts LG about the note she found.
-
SR spilled the truth about LG, the disease and the break-up 3 years ago to DP. What will he do with the info?
LG's in his mancave looking over his last will wearing a black and white sweater. I think the clothing choice is a reflection of LG's mind. Good choice by the stylist.
KMY finds the note LG tucked into GD's painting. He uses her words back to her about it being the brightest and most beautiful memory of his life, of course, he's writing it undercover as Unnie LYJ. Too bad he got caught at the studio. Too bad KMY forgot something and had to come back and catch him there. But then again... -
Our snail is running away to Paris again.
KMY runs into her best friend and finds out LG and SR haven't been together these 3 years. -
LG let's SR go for real.
"SeRa, even if I try hard...and struggle as best as I can...there are things I can't do. There are things I can't do." LG to SR. Takes me back to episode 10 after the auction in my thoughts. So, I guess in this world, some things are impossible. -
Neither KMY nor LG can stand after their opening dialogue with each other. It knocks both to their knees.
Love how KMY pulls the picture of GD closer to her like she's trying to protect it.
Goodbye, My Love... -
( ( ( It looks like the end for our snail couple. Their words are piercing each other's soul. How will they recover from this?
AWESOME opening scene in KMY's studio! The colors, lighting, set, costumes, dialogue, and direction are just fabulous! -
2 minutes to show time! This is our last episode of snail separation! Whew!
-
@psycheros: My favorite hand holding scene is when LG asks KMY if she wants to see his office. She's following behind because she doesn't want to embarrass the CEO. LG tells her to not walk behind him but beside him and takes her hand. SWOON! :x

DP and SR meet at their apartment building. SR is a little cold to DP.
LG is at Omma's beauty shop trying again and succeeding with all the ladies except Omma. He's passing out JangIn samples in his fatally charming way.He introduces himself as Omma's son-in-law.
