Gemmie said: Oh my, did HW mama just called off HW's wedding? <:-P

I'm excited for ep 32 since there is no preview of HW and JH. Something big is going to happen tomorrow for either or both of them, and the ending will leave us tortured for another week. :-w

[tessieroo]

So basically nothing happened today and all the women who were treated like absolute crap are going back to their loser husbands.  :|



@SexyDolceVita - thanks so much for your live recaps! :-h

Apparently, throwing on a leather jacket makes you a detective....hehe!

I'm pretty sure Episode 32 will focus more on Tae Jin and Hye Jung's storyline...

Then Episodes 33 and 34 will focus more on Ji Hye and Eun Hee...

Episode 35 will wrap up Ji Sun's storyline...? Focuses on Ji Hye and Hye Jung...

Episode 36 wraps up all four storylines, with a tad more focus on TW-Ji Hye-HW-SK!

That's my guess!

I don't know what the writer is thinking but if she won't at least make the Kang Family more benevolent to their in-laws then this writer will be go down as the most unpopular writer ever in Kdrama history. When I mean benevolent I don't mean materially. The chaebols should realize money and business doesn't make the world go 'round -it's LOVE. If the writer allows EH and the has-been to get back together, she may face a boycott in the dramaworld...for life so she better shape up or ship out!!!

[Thaila Bastos]

I still cant understand this writer. She had 31 ep to work on the story lines and nothing really changed. 

[paradicez]

This drama is such a roller coaster!! I was excited but now I just want to throw up.

One thing i've learnt in today's ep is that Korean TV's are worth their money no matter what you throw at them ( plate/ soju bottle) they remain intact.... impressive

Episode 31 (speculated interpretations)

At cold castle's kitchen,

Ji hye is shocked to see HyeJung return to Kang family.

HyeJung asks Ji Hye why is she so shocked to see her there.

Ji Hye asks why is she here?

HyeJung says they shall talk later.

Let's prepare breakfast for the family first.

Be careful of the broken glasses on the floor.

The maids arrive on the scene frantically.

HyeJung angrily asks them why are they so late this morning?

The maid that still stays with Kang family apologises.

The new maid apologies and introduces herself and says that she had worked for Mi Sung Group?

Hyejung says it is good that she came from Mi Sung Group.

But HJ states the ground rules for the new maid, and tells them to give their 110% focus.

She tells them to prepare breakfast now.

She tells the new maid to clean up the mess on the floor.

Ji Hye is still dumbstruck by what she sees in the kitchen.

Before breakfast time, MIL is happy to see Yuri and Yujin...

She hugs them tightly and asks if they have led a good life while they were away...

They say yes they were living a good life!

Ji Hye looks at how happy MIL is towards Yuri and Yujin and she smiles at this sight slightly.

FIL comes out of his room and is happy to see Yuri and Yujin.

He carries Yujin and kisses her cheek.

Ji Hye helps to lay out the dishes dutifully.

Tae Wook arrives for breakfast.

He is shocked to see HyeJung at the breakfast table.

FIL asks why Tae Wook doesn't want to sit down.

Tae Wook says nothing.

HyeJung greets Tae Wook sincerely, saying they haven't met for a while.

TaeWook says yes, good morning sister in law.

FIL tells Ji Hye to sit down.

Everyone sits down on the table.

HJ serves FIL's fave soup.

She explains about the healthy ingredients used in the soup?

FIL is very pleased.

He tastes a spoonful of the soup and marvels at how tasty it is!

He praises and thanks HJ sincerely? (Actually he seems kinda fake even when he is sincere...businessman..)

HJ smiles happily at FIL.

Everyone is silently processing the abnormally happy behaviours of FIL and HyeJung.

MIL is mad but she keeps quiet first.

Tae Wook and Ji Hye look at each other with uneasy eyes.

In the FIL and MIL's bedroom,

MIL is begging FIL not to promote HyeJung to Vice Chairman.

She lists out all of her reasons..and begs him pathetically.

FIL refuses to listen to her.

HyeJung is preparing to get to work in her bedroom.

She puts on her ear rings.

Ji Hye goes up to HyeJung's room.

HyeJung comes out of her room and sees a puzzled looking JiHye.

HyeJung smiles at JiHye and tells her to sit down.

They have a heart to heart chat.

HyeJung says she knows Ji Hye must be feeling puzzled as to why she decided to return to Kang family.

Ji Hye says yes, she wants to know why.

HyeJung says with sadness she is doing it for her children.

She cannot be selfish and leaves Kang family and results in nothing for her two daughters.

Ji Hye says so for the sake of her children, HyeJung is sacrificing herself?

HyeJung says not really, FIL has agreed to let her become vice chairman.

Ji Hye is speechless to hear this.

HyeJung apologises for not being able to be nice to JiHye in the past and she understands JiHye has been feeling exhausted.

Now she will treat JiHye better?

JiHye has to endure a bit further? (not sure if she says this...)

Ji Hye and HyeJung come down the stairs from level two.

FIL meets HyeJung at the stairs and asks if she is ready to go to the office with him?

Hyejung dutifully says yes.

MIL is still begging FIL.

FIL turns around and yells at MIL to shut up!

JiHye has a fright by his sudden yelling!

HyeJung looks at MIL with a confused look.

MIL is embarrassed.

FIL leaves with HyeJung in his trail.

After FIL and Hye Jung have left,

MIL is fed up and drinks water from a glass.

JiHye is sitting on the sofa next to her.

MIL is complaining about HyeJung's return to JiHye, who listens intently.

She asks if JiHye has anything on her mind now?

JiHye asks MIL what does she mean?

MIL says what does she mean?

Now HJ is back in Kang family sitting on the Vice Chairman position.

Whose side is Ji Hye on?

HyeJung's side or her side?

Ji Hye asks MIL if HJ is really becoming Vice Chairman of Sin Young Group?

MIL says yes really!

MIL then says it cannot be like this.

She and JiHye must join hands to drive HyeJung out of their family.

They must gang up against HyeJung as MIL and DIL.

They must make a tag team.

What does Ji Hye say about this?

JiHye is somehow confused and responds with her signature "Neh?"

MIL finds her response unsatisfactory and insults her as usual.

She says JiHye is really dumb?

And she uses the word "KOM" "bear" TWICE in a very agitated way towards JiHye.

JiHye is visibly pissed but takes it all in as she feels humiliated.

MIL then does some thinking.

She tells JiHye to visit Professor Kim again.

JiHye says Professor Kim?

MIL says yes, Professor Kim is Professor Park's mother.

Her friend for a long time.

She tells JiHye to get her body ready.

She has a plan for JiHye.

She is all excited and sits beside JiHye while smiling affectionately.

JiHye is a little surprised by MIL's sudden affection towards her as she was previously shouting "KOM" at her.

MIL holds JiHye's hand and tells JiHye to bear a son as soon as possible, so they can win against HyeJung.

Once JiHye bears a male heir for Sin Young Group, HyeJung's power will decrease.

Okay?

MIL smiles hypocritically at Ji Hye...

JiHye is trying to process what MIL is telling her, while giving a blank expression.

Han Se Kyung goes into her car and drives.

She makes a U turn and arrives at Hyun Woo's office.

She is shocked to see Hyun Woo being led out in hand cuffs.

She stops in front of Arrogant Prosecutor and tells them they cannot take Hyun Woo.

Arrogant Prosecutor asks who is she, what is this?

Move away!

SK asks to know the reason why Hyun Woo is being led away?

He produces the arrest warrant, which is passed to him by his staff.

He reads out the arrest orders.

SK takes a look at the arrest warrant and is shocked.

The police tells her to move away.

A prosecutor staff nudges SK to the side.

She falls down on the ground.

Hyun Woo is worried about SK who is dumbfounded, slumped on the ground.

HW tries to look at SK as he is being led away in hand cuffs.

The architecture firm's staff help SK to get up.

She looks at Hyun Woo sadly and helplessly.

Before he enters the car, HW looks at SK for the last time, equally helpless too.

Arrogant Prosecutor is leading his team and Hyun Woo to the detainment room.

TaeWook walks in the corridor and bumps into his arrogant senior again.

He nods at his senior.

His senior yells at him to move away.

TW moves away and is shocked to see Hyun Woo in hand cuffs.

Hyun Woo is shocked to see TW too.

TW is puzzled too at this sight.

He returns to his office.

He

recalls the scene in Episode 9 where he met Hyun Woo for the first time

at the hotel's restaurant, seeing Hyun Woo with TaeJin and Hyun Woo's

partner.

He is fed up with his elder brother TaeJin causing trouble for his family again.

At Sin Young Group, FIL holds a board meeting with directors and senior management.

The announcer announces Hong Hye Jung has been promoted as Group Vice Chairman.

Everyone applause.

FIL applauseas proudly too.

HyeJung stands up and bows.

She walks to the podium and gives an inspiring speech.

Arrogant prosecutor is fed up watching the news of HyeJung's promotion on TV in his office.

He says no wonder HyeJung doesn't want to work with him anymore.

TaeJin is relaxing in his hotel suite.

He drinks coffee? tea? but gets his tongue scalded.

He is fed up and on the TV.

He watches news about Sin Young Group, and realises HyeJung has been made Vice Chairman by his father.

He becomes visibly angry and yells at the TV.

He says his father is crazy. HongHyeJung is crazy too.

What the hell is this?

He throws a plate towards the TV in a fit of anger.

Nam Mi Ra is hiding in her room and watches the TV.

She is watching the news of Hong Hye Jung's promotion as group vice chairman.

She cries in a crazy fit and yells at the TV too.

She cannot believe HyeJung is still able to stand up again after the photo scandal!

 Nam Mi Ra becomes emotionally unstable!

She is going to bring Sin Young Group down!

Ji Sun is watching TV at home... she sees the news of HyeJung's promotion.

She is shocked and marvels at HyeJung's sense of survival in Kang family.

She wonders about how JiHye is affected by this news.

She calls JiHye but it becomes a missed call.

JS is frustrated that her baby sister is not picking up the call.

She goes to throw the empty fruit basket given to JH by HJ and is shocked to see her husband pitching a tent in the car park.

She asks him what is he doing?

Chang Soo says he is pitching a tent, what is he doing...

She asks him why?

He says because his parents do not want to return home, so he doesn't want to return home too.

Ji Sun gets into an argument with him about this and tells him off.

She walks off in a fit of anger.

Eun Hee is working late in her office.

She recalls how attentive Seung Soo was towards her at MinJung's wedding.

She then says it is not impossible Seung Soo has changed.

She leaves her office and is surprised to see Pil Ho waiting for her at the entrance by his car.

Pil Ho says he wants to buy her dinner.

They have a romantic dinner at a restaurant.

Pil Ho asks Eun Hee to go to San Francisco with him.

Eun Hee refuses.

Pil Ho asks why.

Eun Hee states her reasons.

Pil Ho declares his love for Eun Hee.

Eun Hee declines his love...

They take a walk at the famous place where it is filled with locks and love vows.

Eun Hee looks at the locks forlornly and talks about love and her past marriage?

Pil Ho listens to her intently.

He tries to get into her heart.

Then as Eun Hee is talking to Pil Ho, he ambush kisses her and doesn't let go.

Eun Hee tries to push him away but fails to do so...

Slowly she gives in.

As she walks home that night, she is scolding herself for being crazy....so crazy...extremely crazy...

Seung Soo walks home and is shocked to see his brother eating ramen outside his tent in the car park.

He asks what is his brother doing?

His brother and him have a heart to heart chat about their parents, Ji Sun, Seung Soo having an affair, marriages...love...blah.

At the hospital, Ji Hye is having a meeting with Professor Kim.

Professor Kim examines Ji Hye's case...

six months no period...not pregnant at all...

She asks Ji Hye about her routine at home or maybe how often tae wook and her have sex? (not sure about this one)

Ji Hye explains....maybe Tae Wook doesn't come home that often?

And her lack of sleep? So bad timing? (not sure)

JH is probably saying she cannot sleep at night because she has a lot of things on her mind?

she asks Ji Hye about feeling exhausted in Kang family household?

Ji Hye tries to answer...but in the end, gives a politically correct answer of no, she doesn't feel too tired... (OMG)

But professor Kim is very smart, she senses Ji Hye's restraints.

Anyways, the doctor says she understands..

she will prescribe Ji Hye sleeping pills to help her sleep better.

Once ji hye sleeps better, she will have a higher chance of getting pregnant.

Ji Hye tries to process what the doctor is telling her.

The doctor encourages JH and consoles her saying chaebol daughters in law are usually very tired in the first few years of their marriages?

JH listens intently and thanks the doctor.

Tae Wook calls Ji Hye during lunch time.

He apologises to her about not being able to return home that day?

Ji Hye says it's okay but what is going on?

He says some troublesome cases.

He apologises again for not being able to spend time with her.

He asks her where she is.

Ji Hye says she is at the hospital.

Tae Wook is worried, he asks her why is she at the hospital?

Ji Hye says his mother told her to meet Professor Kim to see how she can get pregnant with a child to fight against HyeJung's chances of becoming Group Chairman eventually.

In short, MIL wants her to bear an heir for Kang family.

Tae Wook is fed up with his mom.

He tells her not to care about his mother and don't get stressed about this.

He doesn't want Ji Hye to stress her health over this sort of thing.

Ji Hye says she understands.

Tae Wook is being sweet here and very understanding towards Ji Hye.

Ji Hye appreciates his effort in being a caring husband too.

Tae Wook visits Tae Jin in his hotel suite.

Tae Jin is having some flirting time with two models?

Tae Wook intrudes and the two women flee in dismay.

Tae Wook asks Tae Jin about Min Woo Architecture Firm's case.

He says he knows Tae Jin is using somebody as his scapegoat again.

Tae Jin punches Tae Wook.

Tae Wook doesn't retaliate.

Tae Wook asks TJ where is Kyung Min, the other partner of that firm?

Tae Jin sheepishly says he doesn't know.

Tae Wook says he doesn't believe TaeJin.

He throws down some harsh words at TJ,

that now the prosecutors have arrested the representatives of Min Woo Architecture firm,

who does he think will be the next one?

Not even a scapegoat will help him this time.

Upon hearing this, TJ suddenly changes his expression to a fearful one.

He is pleading with Tae Wook to help him.

Tae Wook refuses and throws down some more harsh words at his brother.

He tells TJ this will be his last drink now because he is going to be on his own from now on.

Meaning he is not going to help TJ this time.

Tae Jin is shocked...and finally realises the magnitude of mess he has gotten himself into.

Tae wook walks away while Tae jin is left speechless and hopeless.

Tae wook returns to his office building and talks to one of his staff about the Min Woo Architecture Firm's case.

But the staff gives TW bad news.

TW is disappointed to hear that.

Se Kyung is lying on her bed as a female doctor is fixing a drip to her arm.

SK is traumatised by what she seen earlier that morning and is exhausted mentally.

SK's mom sits by her bedside and is trying to talk some sense into her.

She tells her not to care about Hyun Woo anymore since he is involved in such a corruption case.

SK tells her mother weakly she cannot give Hyun Woo up, especially in times like this?

SK's mom is mad and yells at her...

Sk has no energy to rebut her and just looks dazed.

Sk's mom sits down and looks at her poor daughter with reddened eyes.

Arrogant prosecutor interrogates Hyun Woo about the corruption case.

But Hyun Woo is being honest about everything.

Prosecutor asks what is his relationship with Kyung Min?

Hyun Woo says they are friends for 10 years.

Prosecutor asks Hyun Woo some more questions.

HW says he doesn't know where the money goes to?

It's his partner who handled everything with Tae Jin?

In the end, arrogant prosecutor is fed up and exits the room.

He calls Hong Hye Jung and calls her Group Vice Chairman sarcastically.

HJ asks what does he want?

He says something to HJ about TaeJin and tells her to be careful because she might end up being stuck in a mess later on? (not sure)

He hangs up, and HJ is left hanging in a pensive mood.

Arrogant prosecutor is in his office, his staff enters in a frantic mode.

He tells him Tae Wook has requested to visit Hyun Woo.

Arrogant Prosecutor is shocked and says Tae Wook is crazy or what?

He says something further...then the staff whispers something into his left ear.

Arrogant prosecutor gives a surprised expression.

Nam Mi Ra is seen standing outside the Department of Justice building.

She breathes in and makes a call to the department of justice, asking to talk to Arrogant Prosecutor.

Tae Wook returns to the department of justice.

He follows two of arrogant prosecutor's staff into the detainment room.

He is let into the cell and a dejected Hyun Woo is shocked to see Tae Wook arriving in his cell.

They look at each other in the eyes.

Tae Wook has a firm stare towards Hyun Woo,

while Hyun Woo looks at Tae Wook with tired and worried eyes, basically a puzzled helpless expression.

Moment freezes.

End of episode 31.

Preview of episode 32.

Sk's mom and Sk are seen talking to Hyun Woo's mom.

Hyun Woo's mom launches a tirade against the two of them about cancelling the wedding?

This time, Hyun Woo's mom is showing a rare fierce side of hers in defending her son.

Nam Mi Ra is shown walking with Arrogant Prosecutor.

Arrogant Prosecutor's voice is heard in the background.

TaeJin is seen slumped beside the bed in his suite.

HyeJung is lying face down, crying on her bed, feeling tired of everything crashing down in Sin Young Group.

HJ's voice can be heard in the background, pleading with TaeJin to return home with her.

End of preview of episode 32.

WTF, no preview scenes of Ji Hye?

This episode has really few scenes of Ji Hye and Tae Wook together!

Sigh... what happened to their marriage?

Eun Hee and Pil Ho have at least 10 mins of screen time!

Hahaha...

This episode is another FILLER!

You don't have to watch it if you don't have the time, for TW-JH shippers or HW-JH shippers.

Since I have decided not to watch until ep 36 comes out, I'm very grateful for your review.. Thanks a lot...

Seems like i'm not missing much and the story develops really slow... Sigh...

[rosesinbloom]

omg....I don't know what to say! It was a blah blah blah episode. Have we been here before? The only scene I enjoyed was between Pil Ho and Eun Hee. I think HW should take lessons from Pil Ho. He's honest, sincere, handsome, romantic, and not afraid to say it like it is. If Eun Hee doesn't take you...I will and everyone else in this forum! :\">

[jayakris]

Gosh, this was a bbbooooooooorrrriiing episode.  I kept falling asleep during daytime, watching it.  Not a thing happened in the whole episode...   Damn I hate extensions.  They really had nothing new for 4 extra episodes and have been just dragging it on.  Hope it speeds up from tomorrow.

[kaciemom]

I guess I will be skipping this episode too.  I have skipped the last two because from reading the recap, it wasn't worth it.  I just finished reading the recap and then I read all the "heads up" and that too tell me - forget it!!  I will need to go back later on to see Pil Ho proposal. 

[Jackie1048]

Wow! I believe Pil Ho has done one of the best k-drama proposal I have ever seen. He has no family members that will object and he even will take care of Eun Hee's son too. For her, he had prepared many material things. As for me, I will ACCEPT in an instant.

Yeah i like the fact that he is an orphan now...i mean circumstancial wise...

Hahaha...

He will be really devoted to eun hee because he has no family members to meddle in their relationship...

But he cannot be a replacement father figure to chang wook.

this is the major pulling factor for eun hee to return to seung soo. Because of chang wook. Her greatest wish was to provide a complete family for chang wook...rem?

If seung soo can prove that he is now a changed man, and chang wook supports his father, i think eun hee will return to seung soo in a heart beat...

[Guest SexyDolceVita]

A note on the TW JH HW SK story line...

After watching episode 31, i believe the gears of making hw and jh reunite with each other have been turning subtly...

A few points to note...

Jh taking sleeping pills will render her unsuitable to get pregnant at this juncture. When mil finds out, she will create huge waves again for jh, accusing her of not uniting with her mil to fight against hyejung. Jh will feel trapped between hj and mil because she sympathises with hj too. This will add on to the stress jh has been suffering till now. She doesnt like to scheme against people, so this will be a very trying time for her, as well as tae wook.

The pressure from mil to get pregnant will suffocate jh further. She will also think her child will be used as a tool, a bargaining chip by mil in the future, esp. if it is a boy. But if it is a girl, she will not be doted on by mil and fil, compared to yuri and yujin. I think this will make jh realise this is not the right family environment she wants her children to grow up in. Hence it will hasten her decision to leave kang family.

Another major hint is when tae wook tells jh on the phone, not to get herself involved with mil and hj. Jh is not their kind of people. He doesnt want jh to stress over going to whose side. Tw knows deep down jh doesnt belong to his family. This will start the ball rolling for tae wook to finally realise jh will never be happy as long as she is stuck in his family, and he will eventually let jh go by divorcing her. This scene is much like the scene in episode 28, where sk tells hw jh doesnt belong to the chaebol circle just like him...

Im not sure why doctor kim had to console jh by telling her she will help jh to overcome the obstacles related to evil mil and by advising her to try and deal with the problems within her marriage? Is this the hint of an upcoming further bigger explosive event involving mil and jh?

In the next episode, when hw's mom yells at sk and her mom that since they dont like hyun woo so much then why are they letting him marry sk? Just cancel the wedding please! This is a prelude to the cancellation of sk and hw's engagement later.

The gears of making jh and hw reunite with each other have started moving now...

Plus, there is a highly anticipated and yet to be revealed scene of jh finding out about hyun woo's arrest and indirect involvement in taejin's sin young group projects' corruption activities. This will most likely be one of the divorce triggers...

Tw's reaction towards jh's reaction to this will largely determine where their marriage is heading towards...
