MEENBAK
SJ prays and prays and prays that she will get an interview. She applied to 25 companies. YA comes up and they start to watch tv together. There is an actor on TV who is really great and SJ says that it is JD’s appa, but she should never bring it up to JG, he doesn’t like to talk about it.
DS runs in and tells JG that he is a big star now, everyone wants to know the identity of the home shopping guy and DS shows him images of JG’s pants ripping all over the internet. Then JD gets a phone call, someone wants to cast him because he was so impressive at the Home Shopping network.
JD is meeting with a director, but he is confused, is this person casting without an audition? The role is of a mother taking her revenge against the abductors of her daughter. the main actress Kim Hee-ja. JD freaks out, the #1 actress Kim Hee-ja? The director tells him to practice a lot. JD runs off.
MEENBAK
YA makes even more bread and asks if it is good. But DS just wonders when they will eat rice? JD runs in at that time and says that he will be in a movie with Kim Hee-ja! She will kill him! They should celebrate with rice! DS really wants to eat rice, but YA just tells him that he dropped his cupcake.
SET
JD runs to the set, he is ready to work! he asks where Kim Hee-ja is? Then we see Kim Hee-ja show up. SHe walks up there like she is severely depressed and in a state of utter sadness. Sad music starts to play as well. JD bows to her, but she just walks by, not noticing. He asks the person why she is doing that? the person says that it is because she is so into the role. She doesn’t eat or sleep. they think that she is the number one actress in Korea.
Cut to their scene together. The director says that Umma is so into the scene where she kills the co-conspirator. JD is a little scared as he looks at the actress. Then they start shooting and the actress goes crazy on him. Tell me, where is my daughter! Where is my daughter Soo-jin!!!!!! She chokes JD out and he passes out. The director has to run in and give CPR to JD. JD comes to and says that he saw a white tunnel…the actress apologizes, she was so into her role.
She leaves and the director says that she told her to go easy. What if he goes to the hospital like that other guy. JD wants to know what happened to the other guy and the director says that the other guy went to the hospital for weeks.
They start shooting again, JD answer the door. The actress is there and goes off on him with a baseball bat and everything. JD starts to bleed and tells noona to stop, stop! But she doesn’t stop and JD screams! But we cut away to the cute baby at the meenbak.

But then JD comes in looking all busted with a bloody nose. He looks miserable. They all wonder why he looks like that. He says that he got injured during his shoot. Kim Hee-ja sunbae was too into her role. They wonder how she can do that, but he says that it was acting and for a role so it was okay. But then he stops talking and they wonder if he is okay?

She does all the cute things that mamma’s do with babies. It is super easy. She wonders if he called her only for this? She was busy at home. But the parents tell her that she is good with kids.

Epic music plays and they see that this baby is a girl. The grandmother freaks out, where is his thingy! She passes out.
JG
JG meets with his father and asks him why he is doing this to him. The father says that he saw his son on the home shopping network and it was so shameful. So he just asked a favor. He wants his son to be successful. But JG tells him that it is hard because his father is so successful, he wants to be successful on his own merits. His father tells him to be successful on his own merits, just don’t do pink underwear commercials anymore. He smiles and tells his son to come inside, but his son says that he has to go to work and leaves. The father smiles and thinks that he raised a good person.
JG goes to the party and apologizes to the actress. Taking the part with his connections wasn’t his intention. He leaves and the actress smiles.

The cake is here!
They tell her that of course, they have a cake. And JG tells them that he has been cast as a regular in a morning drama. Good news all around!

ACTING PRACTICE
JG sits at the meenbak in front of everyone and practices driving. They all watch him. he practices going back right and left right and backward. How does it look? They say that it all looks the same. But then JD goes into this long description of all these motions and how everyone has a deep meaning! How can DG be a director and not know actors? DG apologizes and JG thinks this is his first drama and he worries a lot.
YA comes in, she found an oven on the street. She will practice baking with it. They don’t have to worry though, it won’t interfere with their daily lives. But then she breaks a mirror. They all look at her and she says that she is sorry!
THAT MAN AND THAT WOMANS’ BUSINESS
Everyone looks at the cell phone. SJ is waiting for something important. Her heart is racing. JG checks it and wonders what they should do. But it is an interview notice, she passed the résumé part! But she still has the interview part so she shouldn’t cry now.
Then JG smells something. It is coming from the kitchen. They go in there and there is smoke everywhere. YA says that she can’t stop it. maybe the timer is broken. YA yells, why did they throw away this broken one? But they tell her that they threw it away because it was broken! They all leave and YA looks at her super burnt cupcakes.

They tell her not to ask that, but SJ says everyone is curious about it but no one asks. YA says that it is not a big question, hmm, where should I start…
COMMERCIAL BREAK

KITCHEN
DS and JG brainstorm a way to help YA. maybe they can find SY’s appa? But they don’t know how they can find him. But JG pulls out YA’s cell phone. maybe they can find a clue. But YA doesn’t have anyone’s phone number but there’s and a lot of takeout food places. But there is one number that they don’t know. They call it and it is Kim Joon-sung. They ask him if he knows YA and he says that they used to date.
JG and DS freak out. They say that she has a delivery for him, but they can’t see that address, can he give them his address for the delivery? he gives them his address and JG writes it down. DS thinks maybe this is too far, but JG runs with it! They should do it!

#4: I can’t believe I’m posting this, but it is a critical scene
#5: JD confronts his father about the special favor
This episode was all sorts of amazing…
I wonder how many takes it took to film that snot scene – i’m sure lots of laughter was involved..lol it made it all the more amazing b/c the actress who played the deranged mom usually plays roles in other dramas with so much class and her characters always seem so polished/chic… to see her go all out was hilarious.
I love so much about this drama, but the high caliber cameos add that extra cherry on top…for being such a light drama, can’t believe veterans like Lee Deok Hwa and Kim Seo Hyung agreed to cameo… the PD or director’s connections must run strong! and I’m not complaining!
I LOVE THE CAMEOS. They make this drama so much fun to watch and they are probably why I really like JD’s (the actors) scenes the best. 🙂
