Has anyone else noticed that the cactus is coming back to life! I think it represents their love re-growing for each other. I also love how JJ’s mother is the one nurturing it back to life (though I do think the magic has something to do with it as well, but maybe that is why they went back in the first place? For the mother to nurture their love back? OMG, that would be so wonderful). Love all around y’all!
The live recap starts at 23:00 // 11pm Seoul time and we update every 10 minutes. See you then!

LIVE RECAP
OPENING
2017
OMG someone is making out big time in someone’s office. It looks like it is the bad doctor guys office and he is hard time making out with a nurse. The wife rushes in, she knows what’s up! She rushes to the back but the nurse says why are you here without notice? She rushes past and is asking “Where is nurse Kim,” and bursts into the office, but nothing is happening.
The bad doctor is just there with the nurse and asking her why she is here without notice and she asked another nurse to bring the wife’s favorite tea. The bad doctor is in his office and he is talking about he is having a hard time today and she came to the office on time.
Voice Over – when you try to fake it with someone and you sure that person is completely fooled, it means that person has a high chance of loving you.
The wife if crying in the car on the way home. She knows! She has pictures.
Voice Over – Because that person doesn’t know what is true and false, they like you so much so they pretend that they don’t know.

JJ – Me?
ROTC – Yes (he strokes her hair). Enjoy the clothes, I’m leaving.
BD tries to step in ROTC’s way, but ROTC towers over BD and smiles. Then he leaves.

MEDICAL SCHOOL NIGHT
Bad doctor and JJ are at the medical school night and the bad doctor tells her to come somewhere with him. they walk to the staircase. BD and the girlfriend show up as well.
In the stairway the doctor is wondering why JJ is approaching him. JJ is confused, the doctor wanted to date her. Ah, it looks like the doctor asked his girlfriend if she knows the granddaughter of Samsung and the girlfriend says there are no granddaughters, only grandsons. So know he is putting it all together. He knows that BD tricked him because he remembers getting kicked into the water by him. He pushes JJ and says that he hits women also. he raises his hand to hit her, but someone yells, PARK YANG SO! A lot of women are standing there!
Ah, it was their plan to gather all his current girlfriends! He has so many current girlfriends and BD gathered them all around.

Back to the medical school event. The girls continue laying into him and he keeps saying that he doesn’t have anything to do with them. The real girlfriend finally knows that he is a super bad guy. BD says that he is the rich girlfriend’s boyfriend! That is a surprise. But now the doctor thinks it all makes sense and he yells at the rich girlfriend to not date BD because they want her money. Then she says it is you that want my money! Then JJ runs up and kicks the bad boyfriend in the balls!!!!!!!!
RESTARAUNT
Aw, they are comforting the rich girlfriend at the bar. JJ and BD are both comforting her and telling her that if she married him then she will cry all the time. It is good to just have a good cry now and not cry in the future. The rich girl wonders who they are. Then when they are about to leave the rich girl says she knew he was dating other girls, he just didn’t know it was that many girls. She didn’t want to cry, but she says that she feels better crying now and she is very thankful to them for waking her up. JJ is happy but BD doesn’t look that happy.
BAD DOCTOR
The rich girlfriend got him kicked out of his apartment. he has nothing now. He kicks something on the ground and says, “they played me.”
BD AND JJ WALKING IN AN ALLEY
They are happily walking and BD wants to know how JJ learned how to kick so well, she said she learned it from her cheerleader friend. Did she learn it to do it to him? They keep talking about that kind of stuff. Jj wonders if he is dead and BD says he didn’t die, but maybe he met his ancestors momentarily. But then BD notices that JJ got a scratch and she says she got scratched by that doctor. BD says that is dangerous.
They go and sit down and BD says that guy is a bad guy and JJ says that she is the one who got hurt, why is he yelling at her and all that stuff. he gets some ointment and bandages and bandages her wound up.
JJ – So he made you take care of his mistresses, how did you endure that?
BD – To make money, a lot of guys do that. I am not the only one living like that. Hey, do you know what I like?
JJ – You like chicken-soup. Oranges, UFC, dvds…
They keep talking about being in the movie club and things they like and how they didn’t know a lot about each other. They agree that it was difficult to live day to day so knowing what others like isn’t that important. They each knew what the other person liked, but they were ignoring it all and not noticing each other anymore. They are looking at the playground and it looks like they are both thinking about their son in the future playing on the playground with them It is a bitter sweet moment. BD is really sad about his son. It looks like he misses playing with him on the playground a lot.
JJ is crying and BD is tearing up. Then BD says let’s go and leaves.
HAIR FRIEND AND BUFF FRIEND
Well needed comic relief! The buff friend is talking to his friend about how his girlfriend is dating 5 guys and going on trips with them and all that stuff. He is balling on the steps somewhere with his friends. he is saying that he is easy, sniff sniff sniff. Then his friend realizes that they heard what they were talking about. It looks like the easy meaning was mistaken.
They are walking back and then they notice the feminist friend with a man. They think it is one of the 5 guys that she is dating. They hide and watch her talk to them. The guy says she should go on a trip with him, why not. She says that she doesn’t want to. The big guy starts to stoke her hair and smiles. Oh no, the buff guy walks up on them and yells for him to take his hand off!
The big dude is like, who is this guy and moves to confront the buff friend. The big guy yells who are you! and he says I am her boyfriend! Then the other 3 guys show up, lol! And they are all super big! Maybe they are her brothers?
JJ AND BD
It is still nighttime and they are still walking home, but they tell each other goodnight. BD tells her that he really enjoyed her May Queen festival and her remembers that she enjoyed singing a lot. She is like huh? He says if he says something well then, she should respond well. She is like, whatever and she leaves, but she is smiling as she leaves. BD says that maybe he should have told her.
JJ is walking home but then she notices someone is hiding behind the car. BD is also walking home and wonders if she got home well. JJ calls BD as she walks down an alley as the man approaches her. They are calling each other at the same time so it doesn’t go through. JJ yells!
JJ is being confronted by the doctor. He is yelling at her. JJ called BD again and dropped the phone. BD is running at wherever he thinks she might be. JJ is yelling back at the doctor and the doctor is yelling at her about dating the ugly woman. He tells her that he hits woman and he will go to jail after hitting her. He pulls his hand back to swinG at her!
EPILOGUE
BD – The wife knew that he was having an affair
JJ – She loves him so much so she married him even though she knew those things. He missed that good girl.
BD – Maybe we forced them to break up?
JJ – If a love hurts too much, it isn’t love. Affair is not love, a violence. The worst of the worst violence.
BD – Maybe she can get numb about his affair.
JJ – It doesn’t make any sense, if he has an affair with 100 women, then she will remember the names of all the 100 girls. That is how woman are. She will hit rock bottom with everything about her.
BD – Are you telling me that for me to hear it?…I wasn’t having an affair that time
They look at each other and flash forward to JJ looking at the credit card receipt with all the hotel rooms and the pictures from 2017 (episode 1). he texts her that he can’t go home like that. She calls him and yells at him, how can he do that to her! How can he! Lets break up! I am so pitiful! he says they should break up and they both cry.
Voice Over – Maybe our love didn’t end but we didn’t have the room to see the true mind between truth and false.

Wow… Live recap ????
I don’t think it’s their love, it’s JJ confidence in herself and her love for herself. She’s starting to believe she’s pretty after it died in her marriage. She believes in herself and that SHE can do better. 🙂
Me too. I think it represents JJ’s self-esteem more than their love.
Thank u for doing live recaps. I can’t wait. TGIF!!!
Me too! Okay, off to prepare!
Oh my gosh I love that!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yep, she can do better and she definitely deserves better
I really hope he redeems himself and I think he is slowly starting to do that in this episode! Ahhh, I loved this episode!
Thank you for the recap…
Thanks a lot ??
I loved how they realize what really happened to their marriage..
I think V is right! The vase even has a heart at the bottom. It definitely represents their growing love!
So it’s kinda like the potion from secret garden..?
Hmm…
Oooh, I need to watch secret garden again! The mom is in that one too! Maybe it us something similar?
Ugh, I think I’m gonna skip this week. Thanks for the recap, it saved me 1 hour of my day… I don’t care that he didn’t cheat on her, he still treated her like garbage.
That is one great thing about these live recaps. You know if the episode is must watch or if it can wait.
Diana you have me rolling over here! That is definitely a good way to use a recap 🙂
