[Drama 2018-2019] Move Over, Fate /Get Out of the Way, Fate, 비켜라 운명아

[jayakris]

Ok, I have time to do the recap, unexpectedly...

 

Ep 37 Recap Part-1 (till 15:30)

 

- "You love JA, but you're going to marry somebody else? Are you serious?" asks NJ.  Marriage is just a business for people like us, says US. NJ says he doesn't give a hoot what people like SU think, but he knows this is not right. SU says he has already talked with NJ, so why is NJ butting in?  What has he done for JA after hanging around her for 30 years, asks SU. "The JA, who is hurting for lack of money, and had to even dump her family. What the heck have you done?".  NJ really has no answer. SU: "If you can't do anything for the one you love, that's being a burden".  He says he has to leave, as his fiance is visiting. He walks away saying NJ should stop worrying about others. There is only little time left in the contest.  He mockingly pats NJ.  When NJ asks, SU says he is the one who paid off her debt. SU leaves after saying this is the last time he will entertains this. If NJ butts in again, he won't be forgiven!

 

- SH doesn't think the dinner food YSJ made good enough for the dinner with NSJ today. YSJ calls her some choice names. Haha. They go after each other; nothing serious.  NSJ comes in, and SU hasn't even come back like he promised. He comes in soon though. YSJ apologizes that she hasn't made anything great and NSJ is nice in her response. YSJ is pleased with NSJ but makes a country-like comment that she is too thin, and SH gets angry at her. NSJ says it's alright. Nothing much else here.

 

- Ajussi, Ms. Heo and YSJ eat separately.  YSJ wonders why NJ is late for dinner.  Ajussi blabs out that NJ has to find some money, YSJ wants to know what for.  NJ walks in before Ajussi spills anything more. YSJ tells NJ that SU's fiancee is in the main house and he should go say hi.  She thinks NSJ is quite alright.

 

- NJ sees SU and NSJ having a nice chat with SH. He and NSJ get introduced, and NJ looks a bit irritated, as he recalls what SU is up to. NSJ says she had heard that NJ was found after 30 years. NJ: "SU is only into his work, and is no fun. What do you feel about him?".  She says he is sensitive, and has sense, charisma, etc.  SU is glaring at NJ but doesn't say anything. NJ: "He is quite something, isn't he? Great at his work, and really ambitious". He continues to stare back at SU and goes on about how SU can do anything when swept up by emotions, etc. NSJ gets taken aback a bit.  NJ says he has learned a lot about SU. That he is one who tries his best not to be a burden if he can't do anything to the one he loves (the same thing SU said earlier). NSJ is puzzled but NJ just leaves.  SH tells NSJ that NJ has some inferiority complex after coming from the village, etc.  SU, who was stunned through all this, changes the subject and offers to give NSJ a tour of his room.

 

- In is room, NSJ asks if he has plans to move out of this house after marriage. He says no. She says she was asking because she was concerned he would be alone if they move out, as she expects to be away often due to her concert performances.  She is happy that the nice "maid ajumma" is there. SU tells her that she is not just a maid ajumma, but the mother who raised NJ. Then SU tells her that he is thankful of her dad's support. Now she brings up her own story and why her dad is hurrying up her wedding. It's because he thinks she won't be back if she goes abroad as a concert artist. Because there was somebody she loved when she was 22.  Somebody poor, who had nothing except his passion for music.  Dad was dead against it. She was once going to leave for abroad to live in hiding with him.  But he never showed up at the airport to go with her.  She hears that he is a school teacher somewhere now and doing fine.  Maybe he even got married.  SU asks why she revealed all this now. She says it was to show that she basically doesn't believe in love.  It is a "futile emotion". For that guy, making a living was more important, and love was a luxury.  SU is again rather tongue-tied.  She says she sees SU as a guy who will take responsibility, who won't leave her and run away. That is the reason she chose him. SU says he feels similarly.

 

- NSJ asks SU to settle things before the engagement, if he is still caught in any such "futile emotions".  He asks what she means. NSJ: "I see in your eyes the state I was in at age 22". She gets up to leave. (Boy, I like this woman. Straight up!!)

 

- JA is looking at the selfie with SU and hides the phone as YJ comes in. YJ teases her saying her face is red - "were you watching some porn?"... Haha.  She calls JA to come down to eat some tteokbokki.

----------

 

Ep 37 Recap Part-2. (From 15:30)

 

- Ms. Heo calls the lawyer to come home, as NSJ wants to have a small party.  It is Christmas time. CS doesn't like his sister drinking but agrees to go there.

 

- SJ is talking to her "seonbae", the lady she worked under, at the shopping mall. She wants to know what kind of things the seonbae did when she dated guys. Shopping, fine dining, tea-house, etc, says the lady.  Not stuff like that; is there anything that was particularly touching, SJ wants to know. SJ tells her that she is going to take crack at dating a boyfriend. She writes down the items to do, and tries on different dresses for the big date.

 

- MS is mopping and YS is watching TV. She is sad, thinking of her past Christmases with SG. The loving husband says SG must be fine somewhere.  But when he runs out of money he may come back with trouble, so NS wants YS to be careful. Now YS blurts out that he isn't like that anymore. MS asks if she met SG. She says she never met him, but that he left some spending money to use for their baby. MS asks her never to meet him or let him come home. "If I hear that you met him again, we are done. You better know that"

 

- DS can't figure out why he can only think of YJ's breasts all day long (haha!). Pleasant thoughts that bring a smile to his face, just as YJ sneaks up from behind. She has some Xmas gift for him. He says he is getting a gift from a woman other than his mom for the first time. He is sorry that he has no gifts for her, but she is happy with all the free coffee she gets anyway. He says he was worried how he would look at her after last night, but he finds it not too tough. She laughs it off too. He is happy for having a cool Christmas thanks to her, when he was feeling lonely otherwise. DS: "We will stay good friends later too, right?".  YJ: "Well... Let's see how it goes".  [These two seem ready to run to a motel room right now!]

 

- SU texts JA to send him yesterday's picture. He goes for a shower, before the picture comes in.

 

- SH is trying to look good in a dress, as she has an outing with Mr. Jang.  Then she sees the hair clip and decides that she should at least wear it one time for Ajussi to see, as he did care enough to give it.  Ajussi sees the clip as his angel is leaving.  "So pretty" says the love-struck romeo.  YSJ gives SH some country-style advice on not playing games, and just dating whoever and cutting out whoever as needed.

 

- CS comes in and Ms. Heo brings SU's laundered suit. SH takes it to SU's room.

 

- CS asks where NJ went, and NSJ tells him that he is out for some part-time work as an "escort man or whatever" (peon, servant, whatever the word translates as).  CS is puzzled about it.

 

- SH sees the picture being texted to SU's phone. She doesn't say anything as SU walks in.  She walks out and is mad at JA for daring to seduce her precious son.

 

- SJ is waiting for his peon who shows up looking like a peon. She grumbles - "why are you looking like this? Really like a peon! When everybody else is looking great dating". The fool asks why she asked him to come as a peon, then. "You should have gone on a date with some some cool guy. I heard there's somebody you like too".  She asks who said that to him. My mom, says NJ. She figures out how this happened. SJ: "I got dumped".  NJ says loudly, "What? You got dumped?". SJ: "Do you have to be this loud. Embarrassing me!"... NJ: "Who the hell would dump you? Does his eyes even work?". SJ: "Tell me about it. His eyes are kaput, and he has no sense either. Just a blockhead fellow who has no iota of a clue about how a woman feels".  NJ is still not getting it - "What is his reason? there must be a reason for him to dump you".  SJ recalls what he said in the car and says, "He says he can't forget his former girlfriend". NJ: "Huh? There are such guys out there?". He is mad that some guy did this to her. SJ gives up and asks him to just fill in for that guy today. Grabs his arms and off she goes.

 

- (And all you women viewers get your wish).  She takes him to a hairdresser, and dictates what must be done to the mess that he calls his hair.  And out comes a different NJ with hair that I guess looks better (Sorry; as a man, I am not into men's hair).  She says "Nice!".

 

- Now its tteokbokki time. And then all kinds of crazy looking street food. Her lips get wiped. Cute rabbit stuff on their heads and all that.  He gets her a muffler that makes her almost cry.  He brings hot cocoa, and she thanks him for such a great date today.  He is happy to, for having such a good date with a "younger sister" (Argh. Idiot, idiot, idot, idiot, iddiot...)

 

- Now SJ talks. She is sad about that guy being unable to forget his past. She was frustrated and pained that he still lets his feelings cling on to just that woman. "It's not like all of the past will disappear if he forgets that woman. Why is he keeping it in his memory, like a fool".  (Now NJ's face looks like may even know what she is getting at? Nah, I doubt it).  She said she got the answer after she thought for quite some time.  She points to the clock. "From now on, time is starting again. The time for him and me. The time for just us two".  She thinks she will also become an un-erasable memory for that man after enough time. NJ: "But SJ... The man that you just talked about... Is he, perhaps... somebody I know?".  An amazingly sad look on SJ's face, that makes me cry.  [THE END].

I like her as well , I love that she’s not gonna stand up to being made a fool off . SU should know , the cold , hard truth of the matter is  the secret affair thing doesn’t usually turn out well in the end .Once the whole secrecy and trying to avoid being caught by everyone start ,everything will get messy and JA will eventually be hurt and resent him . 

 

* it seem in next episode SH gonna humilliated JA and make a stop to their relationship -

@Ameera Ali  Just as you said this girl isn't going to be made out of a fool.. No matter if this marriage is a business deal or not.  Sw and SH will come up on the loosing end.. Her father nor her will let him get away with this.. Also JA won't get hurt she'll be happy if this marriage deal is called off.. Remember JA has always played on men emotions, She's a pro at it now, look at how she has used NJ and DS all of these years..  But I do think theres no ending for her and Sw.. JA has a lot of emotional baggage, She also will have to be responsible for her parents at some point.. I don't see SH allowing Sw to be saddle with her when she has nothing to offer but just beig a designer.. SH has bigger plans for SW and he also have bigger plans for himself and JA don't fit the bill for none.. All she can be is Sw girl toy.. I like to think when Sw was telling her he paid off her debt why she didn't tell him to payback all the money that NJ has fork over to her and she accepted it..

 

MS is another one I;m getting real sick of..  Just take the baby when she has it and hire a nanny he'll be a lot better off..

But why would she , she gives SU impression that NJ was good for nothing , to her all NJ did was talk for 30 years and didn’t didn’t give her any money . It’s seem the emotional support was nothing to her when she was hungry and wishing for better life . 

 

Its was funny hearing SU saying to NJ if you can’t do anything for the one you love , that’s a burden , he had crystal ball , but will he handle their situation, when she becomes a burden to him and didn’t turn up to be good designer he wishes her to be , and the greedy mom and useless dad show up as well .

Ep 38 Recap Part-1 (Till 17:00)

 

- To NJ's question on whether he knows the person SJ was talking about, she says he wouldn't know. "Maybe you've never even seen his face". She continues that the person seems to be unable to acknowledge it even if he knows that his woman has left. NJ says that there appear to be many guys who are in the same condition as him. On what account is he the same, asks SJ. "Not being able to acknowledge it, even after knowing that she has left". Just a waste of a conversation...I'll skip the rest.

 

- CS is having dinner with Ms.Heo, YSJ and Ajussi. YSJ asks if the lawyer knows about NJ looking for some money to pay for some fabric or something (like Ajussi had lied to her earlier). CS says he doesn't know of that, and she tells him that NJ has been making a fuss about paying off JA's debt from the funds he got from grandpa.  SH comes home and overhears YSJ asking why NJ should pay $200K for a woman who calls him a stalker. She had told him absolutely no way.

 

- SH comes in and asks what JA debt there were all talking of. Ajussi explains but tells her that it seems to be a private loan that paid it off. NSJ asks why SH is even concerned about this. Only because she is their team's designer, says SH. She doesn't want loan sharks coming to the company because of JA's loan. She goes to her room and says she cannot let things go on like this.

 

- Team-1 talking about signing up models. SH comes in and hears SU assigning tasks to the team, and offers to help JA with the fabric subcontractors.

 

- Team-2 talking. Nothing serious. Some arguments. NJ comes in, and Ajussi makes a big deal about everybody having all these arguments and fights.  NJ and SJ for one. NJ asks when they fought, and SJ joins him. They are all in a good mood, actually.

 

- SH goes to DS.  He doesn't remember meeting her, but gets scared when she says she is SU's mom. She says she is not anybody to be scared of. Asks if it was SU who paid off JA's debt. DS asks "how did you know that?" before realizing he goofed. "If I tell you, he said he will make me stop running the cafe". SH says he doesn't have to worry about that. DS finally confirms that it was SU who paid the money.

 

- SH calls JA to her office. JA brings the sample dress. Then SH asks JA what she thinks of Director Siu. JA says he is somebody she respects. SH brags about the elite courses he had taken and takes the conversation to people coveting him for being capable and rich. She gives JA a direct warning that if SU's future is hindered, as a mom, she will not stand by and watch it. "I hope you know what I am talking about".  JA doesn't say a word.  As she is about to leave, SH brings up the matter of the $200K that she took out of SU. JA says it wasn't like that.  She was only borrowing it. She will definitely pay it back. SH: "It would take you as much as 10 years to do that.  Are you planning to be around him for that long?".  Now JA drops to her knees and says she will not see SU anymore. She begs to be allowed to work in the company. SH says she will not forgive JA if SU were to ever find out about this conversation today. JA agrees, and leaves.

 

Part-2 (from 17:00)

- Lawyer CS comes to visit Team-2 and SJ shows him the designs they have.  They ask him if he has seen the Team-1 design. He hasn't, as that team is secretive about it. CS asks Team-1 also to be careful.

 

- MS comes in with some samples they made. Mr. Ko introduces himself to MS as their marketing guy. Ajussi asks why he is sucking up to MS.  "You interested in SJ or something?" he asks. MS jokes that if Mr. Ko is interested he should tell. NJ is hardly bothered, as SJ says "Dad!!"... Dad asks SJ to join him for a coffee.

 

- YS is getting morning sickness, and asks the baby what he wants to eat. "What? Chicken feet?"... SG comes in. He is crying.  Fake show again, probably.  He says he is a fraud victim now. He invested the money he got from SH for a friend in Philippines. But that guy was caught by police for something illegal. Sister and brother are back to where they always were. He says he has nowhere to go. He wants to come and stay at the sister's place. Now she is feeling some distress, and SG calls 119.

 

- DS is mortally scared, seeing SJ - "Oh? It is the female gangster!". She laughs about it, as MS asks what that was about.  MS is about to tell her about YS' pregnancy.

 

- YS seems to be okay, and SG tells her that the doc says she needs to be very careful as it is an older-age pregnancy. She says it's SG who makes her so worried all the time.  Now SG says he has really got a grip on himself. He wants to be good, but YS doesn't think MS will buy it.

 

- SJ is shocked at what she heard from her dad. MS is embarrassed too. He wants her to think of it as getting a nephew/niece. He wants her to be there for her sibling after he dies. He is worried how old he will be when the child even graduates from high school. SJ shows sympathy for her dad. She will do what is needed. She advises him to be nice to YS, as pregnant moms need to be worry-free. 

 

- She leaves, as MS gets a call from SG.  MS screams at him, but he has to runs to the hospital. SG tells him that the baby is fine but she has to lie and take rest for 2 months. YS lies that she was taking trash out when she had trouble. She saw SG sitting outside, reluctant to come in as MS wouldn't take him in. But for SG, she would've been in big trouble, she says. SG begs MS to take him back in, and big sister again puts in her recommendation.  Looks like MS falls for it yet again!!

 

- YJ offers to help the older guy in the team to fix some double-counted numbers. He sympathizes with YJ for having to do all these trivial tasks, after coming in as a designer. YJ shows her positive attitude, and gets commended by Mr. Jang for that.

 

- SU texts JA sitting across the room, why she looks down. She says it;s nothing.  He wants to go eat after work, and offers to wait in the parking garage. She says no; she is tired. She will see him after the contest is done. SU: "Not even just a meal? I have something to give you too, though"... She says no. She has no appetite.

 

- SH comes in. Mr. Jang tells her that he couldn't get in to her office earlier, as SH and JA were busy with some work on a sample. Mr. Jang: "JA is good, isn't she?".  SH doesn't show anything on her face, and agrees.  JA has the usual mosquitos-bit-me face.  

 

- JA walks out and runs into NJ. He asks her if she was crying. She says no. He says he hopes nothing is making her cry. She says she is happy, doing what she likes to do.  He asks her to find some time to meet him after Contest-1 is done. He has some things to check with her on. NJ: "Whether it's fine for me also to erase the past that you erased. Whether it is fine not to get confined within those memories. Whether to accept that you have another man now. Those are what I need to check with you".  Right on time, JA walks in from around the corner, seemingly having heard this. [THE END]

[sava2sava]

Thanks @jayakris  Hope you had a wonderful Christmas. Right along with everyone else that's commenting in this thread..

 

In once sense it's kind of good that YS brother is back at any giving moment MS or SJ can go back after those shares.. 

[dramaninja]

I think NJ is looking for closure now with the questions he want to ask.

- Barf-worthy sweet moments between MS and YS.  She wants him to forgive SG but he is still mad. They try to find a cute name for the baby.  She suggests GuWon, which means "rescue", as the baby rescued the mom from divorce. MS likes it.  (Yikes, what kind of cute baby name is "rescue"?  Maybe we'll use "xavier"?  Or wait for what the subbers come up with)

 

I had said that last Friday.  I checked the subbed version.  It seems the subbers went with "savior".  Haha.  They thought like me.  I guess we will wait for the KBS subs to come out this Friday to know what they will use!

 

Here is the preview for Ep 39 from KBS - http://program.kbs.co.kr/1tv/drama/mylife/pc/board.html?smenu=9725de&bbs_loc=T2018-0557-01-871110,read,,40,785694

Blurb: 수희(김혜리)의 협박에 시달리던 진아(진예솔)는 시우(강태성)에게 이별을 통보한다. 1차 경연 리허설 중 남진(박윤재) 팀의 학생이 맹장염으로 쓰러지고, 남진은 승주(서효림)에게 대신 모델을 부탁하는데... 

Traslation: Harassed by SH's threat, JA serves notice to SU that she is splitting. After a student model collapses with appendicitis during the contest-1 rehearsal, NJ requests SJ to be the model.

 

Looks like the next episode will be fun.  I knew when I saw the girl faint in the preview, that it was for SJ to become the model. If there is a modeling thing in a drama, the lead lady always ends up modeling, for some reason or other. It always happens in the dramas. ALWAYS!!...

I can empathise with NJ , one of my friend experienced unrequited love , which was truly crushing and couldn’t move on , until she got closure she needed .so I believe sometimes it’s good to had chat face to face with other person and get all fustration out . So I am excited NJ asking these question, it’s first time , he shows he need to close door in this relationship as well 

Thanks @jayakris for recap yesterday, I appreciate it . 

[jayakris]

Got really delayed today...

 

Ep 39 Recap Part-1 (till 17:30)

- Looks like SJ probably did not overhear the NJ-JA chat. She steps back into the corner, and comes out only after JA leaves saying she will call later. NJ says he wants to go check/confirm the lighting (at the fashion show, I guess). SJ says, "damn, you are really into this confirmation thing, huh? You know nothing except to confirm things?". So, okay, she heard the convo. NJ: "Huh? So I shouldn't confirm it?".  SJ: "Heck, go confirm! Why don't you? Get me a soda before that!". He asks why a soda now.  Totally clueless. She says she feels so stuffy, like she had too much of sweet potatoes. That's why.

 

- Everybody in Team-1 is looking at JA, as she looks like she might throw up anytime. SU says they can stop work today. All ready for the design show. SH learns that YJ is JA's room mate, as they left.

 

- Team-2 discusses the rehearsal tomorrow. The student models are in a dance team, so they should be fine tomorrow at the rehersal, they say. Mr. Upright asks SJ for a dinner with him.  She says she is full, so maybe later.  Ajussi asks, and she says she hasn't eaten.  She just had too much soda thanks to a certain "godabi" (which is stuffy guy who looks like he ate sweet potatos - just a weird Korean word). NJ asks if he is the godabi. SJ is funny in replying, twirling her hair, "who said it is you. Why are you over-reading things?". Hilarious.

 

- DS parents visit him again. DS wants to eat food made by his mom. He gives the key to his place. Dad asks him to get a part-time worker to help, so he can take some breaks from the cafe. Ds thinks it's a good idea. Mom asks him to call YJ also to come home.

 

- JA is at home and SU texts her saying he is waiting for her and won't budge till she gets there. She leaves.

 

- YJ joins DS and family for dinner.  Dad finds an ear-ring on the floor. YJ says it's hers. Mom wants to know why her ear-ring is on DS' floor. "It's not what you think", says YJ.  The dad is loving this. DS - "we just got drank and slept here. Really, nothing happened". The parents are big cheer-leaders for them to go for the real thing itself, anyway.  YJ is embarrassed but Mom says it's totally alright.

 

- JA sees SU at the bar. He wants to know why she is avoiding him. She just says he shouldn't be out this late, the night before the fashion contest. He has a gift box that he says is a necklace. As he is marrying somebody else, he can't give a ring, so he wanted to at least give this. "But why are you avoiding me?". She says because she realizes that she can't be seeing him.  She likes him to death, but  she can't do this. "You find me to be so laughable?". She gives it to him for trying to have the woman he loves as a keep for life. She also has a right to be happy, to marry somebody and have kids.  He yells back at her, almost ready to cry also, why this cannot work. He is only asking them to follow their hearts. It's for the first time inn his life that he is trying to live by what his heart says. She gets up, shakes his hand off and leaves, asking him not to mess up her life anymore.

 

- JA walks along the Seoul streets aimlessly, crying.

 

Part-2 (from 17:30)

 

- SH gives SU some hangover drink, and asks why he is so out of it, the night before the contest. He asks he how it was to live as a woman who had to hide her love. She is pretty upset at him for even asking. Soome blah blah. Move on.

 

- Once outside his room, SH says in her mind that love is not such a big deal. You may feel like dying now, but over time, it will be fine.

 

- Team-1 is happy with their models. SH notices that JA is totally unresponsive to SU.

 

- MS asks his assistant if they couldn't bring SG back to the company. The assistant is totally against it. He even advises him to be careful about his wife and BIL. MS gets up to go see Team-2's rehearsal.

 

- SJ and NJ are directing the student models on what to do, and coming up with good idea. I'll skip the details. One model collapses. Appendicitis.  The students are worried what to do, as that girl was their center.  YSJ and Ms Heo come in to watch the rehearsal. Everybody is worried what to do. NJ asks SJ what her height is. 172 cm, says SJ. Everybody knows what NJ is thinking. The team goads her into doing it.

 

- Time for the contest. The teams confront each other. SU does his bragging as expected. NJ gives him some choice words back too. I'm not paying attention

 

- Fashion show. Mr. Jang introduces the team-1 designs. Pretty ordinary designs, but what do I know? Formal dress, activity clothes, and date dress in order.

 

- Chief designer for Team-2 cannot introduces the designs, so the working-mom designer does it in her place. High school dress is the theme. Comfortable and natural design.  Just as SJ had suggested earlier, the guy model comes in doing a vigorous dance, starting with summersaults. The audience impressed... (Damn. They make us wait to see our favorite lady modeling??... But the preview suggests trouble too!) [THE END]

Wow , I don’t understand why he keep rubbing it in her face that she gonna be the other woman. Reminding her that she wasn’t his first choice ,is going to do nothing for her self worth . He so gifted , I never see a man like him before , every nice thing he try to do ,it come across as insult .

He yells back at her, almost ready to cry also, why this cannot work. He is only asking them to follow their hearts. It's for the first time inn his life that he is trying to live by what his heart says.

 

Follow their hearts , follow my lead because it’s seem to me she is the one giving up everything and him getting everything the power and the love and the family . If he break up with her she end up with nothing .JA should be thankful to SH that she make her break up with him . SU will end up letting her down .

I totally think what DS and his family did to JA is not right.  But Siu has no business lecturing DS and looking at DS as if he is scum.  Siu and his mother tried to do the same thing to SJ.  Tried to force her into marriage just so they can get their hands on the shares.  And they know they shares they bought was stolen.  Mother and son looked very happy - well hell, smug about it.  They thought the people they looked down on would be trampled by them and were very happy about it.  Ironic that the mistress and her illegitimate son think they are refine and cultured and 99% of the world are beneath them.  Someone should remind them you can't get much lower than being a mistress.    

 

DS is not a smart guy.  What is Siu's excuse?

- Chief designer for Team-2 cannot introduces the designs, so the working-mom designer does it in her place. High school dress is the theme. Comfortable and natural design.  Just as SJ had suggested earlier, the guy model comes in doing a vigorous dance, starting with summersaults. The audience impressed... (Damn. They make us wait to see our favorite lady modeling??... But the preview suggests trouble too!) [THE END]

Thanks @jayakris  I'm wondering if that look on Lawyer Heo face is a suprised look that NJ and SJ won the first round.. As confident as SJ is about herself I didn't understand why would she be embarrassed about modeling as a young teenager.. To be push out n the stage like that was and embarassment.. It would have been cool if both her and NJ took to the stage but maybe that would happen in the final round.. 

Love the look on Sw face when they really used the everyday life of a young teenager as they theme.. Sw see NJ is no joke and needs to step up his game if he's going to compete with NJ.. I noticed the look in JA face as she saw first hand how NJ didn't back down to Sw.. This is a part why I said all she did was use NJ and DS.. She knows nothing about NJ capabilities thats because she never wanted to know about him.. For a person to be your friend for  25+ years and for you to not understand his thinking says a lot about you.. I think If Nj did pull this first win off I can see her playing with NJ again just to get her ideas and theme for the second contest from him and to throw him off his game.. But If NJ did win I could see her being mad enough to tell NJ she's in love with Sw and willing ready to be hus other women.

 

JA designs of women office workers is really nothing Big most office workers don't care if the clothes are uncomfortable as long as they look good in them and shows off there figure and can attract a man attention is all that matters..

@Ameera Ali  It won't be long before Sw reminds JA that he owns her until she pays him back.. As long as she keeps rejecting him it's bound to happen.. He'll end up telling her she owes him and when he calls she best to come and fill any duty he request of her.. He may become worst then DS..

Thank You @O  I'm waiting for kidnapper # 2 (NJ adopted mom ) Lites in her but about exactklky what she really is.. I still believe Sw isn't biologically related to this family and she's been pulling the wool not only over others eyes but her son as well.. She's to obesess with the idea of NJ father to let go and has been pulling and act all these years.. I don't buy SH game and at some point what I've been thinking about her being involved in NJ kidnapping and related to his Dads death looking forward to seeing if it's true..

 

Now as for those shares something might happen to MS greedy wife brother.. I see him asking for more money or he'll tell he stole them.. At some point I think thise shares will end up being returned.. No matter how preggo try to protect her brother the marriage the brother will cost her the marriage and left homeless with nothing.. Her crying wolf to MS and constantly lying to him about the gambler will leave her with nothing especially if the very house she lives in comes up with loan sharks also.. I like to think SJ will file a police report about those shares just for precautionary measures..

Blurb: 모두가 당황한 돌발 상황에서 승주(서효림)는 기지를 발휘해 무사히 패션쇼를 마친다. 승부를 가르는 건 경연 심사 결과 50%와 매출 결과 50%, 드디어 허청산(강신일) 변호사가 심사 결과를 발표하는데...

Translation: Out of a situation when everything went awry, SJ demonstrates her wits to finish the fashion show. The contest outcome being based 50% on the judging and 50% on the sales, CS announces the judging results.

[mamanijared]

I have to agree with you @sava2sava i also think SW father is not NJ's dad. SH looks like the kind of person who is desperate to do anything for money. 

 

I really do hope NJ will get his closure with JA before this week ends. I would love to see him get together with SJ at an earlier stage, not when it's already halfway into the drama.

 

How many times does MS have to forgive the gold digger siblings...i'm getting frustrated with him, he is too nice to the point that he is already looking dumb

[jayakris]

We have finished 1/3rd of the drama already!

 

Ep 40 Recap Part-1 (till 16:45)

- Team-2's first model does a break dance and showed the designed pocket where his mobile phone was intact.  The second one showed that water doesn't stick to the nano-tech fabric.  Mr. Upright had to push a scare SJ on to stage.  But after the two student dancers joined, she gets her wits back after Ms. Lee introduces her as the designer who is up and ready despite falling. SJ does a great job of dancing with TWICE's "yes or yes" (pretty good, considering that SHR is 33 years old, and the character is 28 in the drama). This ends just fine.

 

- SG is trying to meet SH and the secretary says no. She asks him to leave his number and wait for SH to call.  On the way out, he sees MS there and is scared.

 

- The team-2 members and supporters tell SJ that she was good. The results are not out. They will know soon, says CS. MS shows up. He is proud of his daughter and gives her some pocket money too.

 

- Mr. Jang tells SH and SU that Team-2 was pretty good. They shouldn't be taken lightly. Mom and Dad are still full of themselves though. The secretary gives SG's number to SH and says he is waiting at the cafe to meet. SH asks the secretary to call Security and kick him out if he comes again.

 

- Team-1 is eating some delivered food. A team-member is whining that they have to eat this, when the other team had home food made by the team-leader's mother. JA wonders what the result will be. The team members are worried that the other team wasn't bad. The team ajussi asks YJ to get them all coffee. She leaves, though not too happy at being just the errand girl of the team.

 

- At the cafe, DS is posting a "hiring temp help" sign. DS tells YJ that SG has been sitting there for a while. She serves him water and he asks if she isn't in SH's staff. Yes, says YJ. She finds him familiar and takes a moment to remember that he was once there with SH. He asks why she is working there. Just helping his friend after coming for some coffee for the team, says YJ. He asks her to tell SH that he is still waiting.

 

- Back in the office, YJ says in front of all the team members, "That Mr. Ko Seong Gyu who was with you once before, is at the cafe and asked me to tells you to meet him. He will wait till you get there".  SH is good at not showing much on her face, and says "I wonder if he is again asking for a job".  Smart thinking!

 

- Everybody is back in the hall for the results. Lawyer CS commends the teams for a good job and thinks the late chairman would be happy. He announces that a majority of the 5 judges has picked Team-1.  He will announce the contest-2 details soon.  He congratulates SU and Sh who are smug as usual. CS says he had expected them to win, but this was closer than he thought. He understands why the chairman even asked for a contest.  The team ajussi wonders why they feel like they lost even when they won, and Mr. Jang asks him not to spoil the mood.

 

Part-2 (From 16:45)

 

- SH meets SG and he says he has been there for some 5 hours. He thinks she got a dirt-cheap deal and he wants to exercise his "options".  Seems like he is hinting blackmail. He has heard that she said he is looking for a job, from YJ.  SH: "So you are you asking for a job at HK?". He says that will work.  She asks him to go away rather than waste time. Nobody is going to believe anything he says. "Or shall we go to the police? I only did a legal stock trade, and the bad things were all done by you.  I wonder what the penalty is, for stealing the personal login number and selling somebody's stocks!".  She leaves, after threatening to report him to police if he ever tries to bother her.  SG is mad and looks determined to go for her throat, for making him wait for 5 hours and then doing this.

 

- SG asks DS if he can be hired as the delivery man, as the HK employees seem to need a lot of coffee delivery. DS is a bit scared too, but thinks it is a good idea. SG will start work from tomorrow.

 

- Team-2 finishes for the day and SU asks JA to stay back and have a chat.  He gives her the date dress she designed, which he says got the highest marks from the judges. "For a designer, a design is like a child.  If you are in hard times in the future, just recall the passion you had when you made your first design.  Then you will get the courage to get past anything". She thanks him. He says he won't be trying to see her on a personal basis anymore.  But as her immediate superior, and as Team-1's leader, his appreciative and well-wishing view towards her will not change. He says she was right. He shouldn't be saying that he loves her and asking for sacrifices. He is sorry for making her all confused during this brief period. He will go back to where he should be.  JA has the same teary look as she always has, as he leaves.

 

- CS tells team-1 not to be too down. The contest results have only 50% weight. The sales have the other 50%.  Why not think about winning the sales part? ... The team acts like this was a surprise (but we knew that from the time when he read out the will of the chairman, though percentage weights were not mentioned!).  They just need to make sure that students buy their clothes.  NJ is so happy, he can hug the lawyer.  And he does. SJ gives NJ the money from her dad for a team dinner. Ms. Kim says she is now an SJ fan, and Mr. Ko says he is a fan too.

 

- MS hears that Team-1 won, as YS is with him.  SG comes in and tells them about the job he has from tomorrow as a temp at a cafe. "A cool job, where he can cleanly squeeze somebody's neck". MS looks like he knows that this is more trouble.

 

- At the Team-1 drinking party, SU and Mr. Jang confirms that JA's date dress got the highest points from the judges. They talk about the fight from Team-2. They can't be taken lightly anymore. SU takes some shots at his team, saying he won't permit any laxity.

 

- SH comes to the party, and she has NSJ with her. SH introduces her to the team as SU's fiancee. The team talks about her good looks, and how good a match she is, to SU. SH gives invitations for the engagement party.  NSJ notices the looks on SU's and JA's faces.  JA gets up to leave saying she is prone to misbehave if she drinks too much, and wants to avoid it. NSJ is keenly watching all this. SH is really satisfied with all this.

 

- Team-2 is out for dinner and drinks. They ask JA to do a toast, which she does well.  Then NJ gets a call.  It is JA - "NamJin-ah..." and he replies "Jina-A" which SJ hears. JA wants him to meet and have a chat with her. He agrees, and gets up.  SJ holds his arm and says "please don't go". [THE END]

[Ameera Ali]

I am actually, gobsmacked and going what ? What the hell ? How is this happening?Are we sure SH didn’t bribe judges   and what wrong with a NJ ? he is adding to my misery why should he run to JA and leave SJ in the cold in the next episode.I need comfort it’s isnt easy to be in team NJ
