OPENING
We open at the end of the last episode. TH told SW that she wants to end it there and closes her door. She starts crying on the other side.
VO – Now this is the opportunity you gave me to stop here, but I can’t stop at this point because I have you in my mind
VO – I won’t have a hard time, I won’t ask you to hold me, I am not asking anything for you, I started to like you by myself and I will end it by myself.
SW goes out drinking by himself. The bar tender wants to know why he is alone, where is SJ? But SW doesn’t respond
Cut to SZ and HJ hanging out. But SZ looks a tiny bit annoyed. SZ calls SJ and he picks up right away (he ignored all the other girls that called him). She asks where he is and he says he is right around the corner! he leaves right away and meets SZ and HJ. This is his first time meeting HJ so he gives her a kiss on the hand like a princess.
HJ says she is in love, it is her first time. SJ thinks she must have seen a good movie. But she says she is in love. SZ wants her to just get the phone number. They try to figure out who this person is, but they only have a photo of him. SJ looks at the photo and says that it is his Hyung Joo Wan-i. HJ says he is his life saver.
The bartender calls SJ and tells him that something is wrong with SH, you should come. So SZ and SJ go to meet him at the bar, but it looks like SZ doesn’t want to meet with him. She goes inside though and they talk to SH. SZ calls SW’s secretary and tells him that SH is drunk.
SH walks up to SZ and blocks her against the wall. He keeps saying her name over and over again in a drunken way. She asks him, what? He says suzi…what did you tell Eun Tae-hee, tell me. what did you tell her? SZ says she told her that they like each other. It isn’t a lie. Did I make a mistake?
SH says it wasn’t a mistake, you did a good job. SZ pushes his hand away and leaves. SJ chases after her.

SJ wants to know why SZ is meddling in TH and SH’s relationship, what is it that she wants to confirm?
Cut to SJ and SH at SJ’s favorite fishing place. SH asked SZ to date once, but she said she didn’t want to, those kinds of relationships don’t last. SJ wants to know if SH likes SZ a lot, SH says he likes the way there are now. He likes it. He couldn’t kiss her and wouldn’t kiss her.
SJ tells SZ that SH is her best friend, that is why he didn’t kiss you. I know you! You just want to protect yourself. You are into your own feelings too much! Stop thinking about the reason, it is not about the kiss! If it is not then we can’t explain –
SJ moves in and kisses SJ quickly. She tells him that a kiss in nothing for her also, just like you.
SH collapses in the bar.
TH
TH finds SH’s will among her things. She opens it and looks at it. The letter reads that SH is not the heir of the family, he is not blood related. She apologizes and says that she will fly it later. But she keeps it in her book for now.

HOSPITAL
It is all over the news that SH collapsed in the bar. SJ goes to the hospital and tells him that the news is nothing, don’t worry about it. But he also tells SH that he was stupid drunk when they got to the bar. SH didn’t even realize that SZ was at the bar too.
SJ asks if he is don’t with TH? With the deal? SH says yes. SJ says that he will date SZ. he stands and leaves.
COMPANY
MR and SW talk about business. She wants to take care of the foundation. The secretary talks to SW about a woman’s magazine article. SW wants the magazine to change the headline, but then his eyes go blurry. MR says SH is in the hospital so she will check on him and leave. SW didn’t even realize that he is still there. MR lets him know that young people don’t know if they are good with alcohol yet. But then they start to talk business again. Let’s set the date. they decide on next month.
The secretary wants to know why they are choosing MR’s hospital. SW says it is because they can keep things quiet there. he also tells the CEO to keep things separate with SH. He says the drug isn’t confirmed and the marriage isn’t confirmed, tell the media that.
SZ

Cut to SJ talking about how a lot of married couples want to have an affair, so it is a big blue ocean.

PROTESTERS
A lot of people are protesting the new drug in front of the company. The secretary calls MR and tells her that she might also have protesters in front of her hospital.
Flashback. SH pushes his mother around the hospital and the new secretary is talking on the phone and mocking the mother. SH wants to go punch him, but the mother tells him to stop, they are good to her here. Then MR comes up to them and talks to them kindly. But SH just compares how pitiful his mother looks to how healthy MR looks.
MR goes to SH’s room and drinks tea with him. He says he has questions about when his mother died. The car is clean and that is strange. he saw that there was another accident that day, a hit and run. It is strange, why did my mother go to the countryside, it is strange, why is there no record? You are my mom’s best friend so I thought you would know something about it.
MR asks, did you hear the details about the hit and run? It was a student who did it, maybe that is why your family members didn’t tell you. the hit and run, why dont’ you think the hit and run case was your mother, the company erased the record. Only a few people know about it because we didn’t want to leave your mother as an accuser. We just hope that the girl is okay.
TH
Cut to TH looking at SH’s room. She thinks of calling him, but goes to her room instead. She walks inside andlooks around a little.
TH – hey we are broken up but we should know what is private and public, I don’t like him, I am going to leave him a voice mail and say all the curse words I know.
She pulls out her cell phone but we cut back to the hospital.
SZ goes to the hospital and meets with her mother, but SH is in the office as well. MR tells SZ that they will set the wedding for next month. SH leaves and MR ells SZ that Sh and her were talking about his mother. They both worry about SW, will he be angry that he is there? SZ goes to SH’s hospital room, but she doesn’t go inside.
VO – I asked SJ about SH and SJ wants you to visit SH in the hospital.
TH goes to the hospital adn thinks that she will just give him his cell phone. At the same time, SH is crying in his hospital bed as he thinks about his mother. He says his mother was a good person, but what made her life so hard? TH goes in at that moment and stands next to SH’s bed. She taps him on the shoulder and he turns around with tears in his eyes.
But then he hops up when he sees her. He wipes he tears quickly. She asks why he is crying and he says it is becaue his head hurts, why are you there? She says she is there to give him his cell phone back. She text him and told him that she is moving out. He tells her that she doens’t have to, but she says it is uncomfortable. She wonders if it hurt a lot…how about you? He says she was also suffering. But she plays it off and says that she is leaving. it is too late for the bus but I just came here to give you the cell phone.
SH tugs on her jacket and tells her that he is sorry to confuse you. I know what SZ told you, I used to like SZ a lot and I still like her, but it is just friendship. SJ and SZ are both important to me, it is hard to explain but i can tell you this….to me, you and SZ are different.
TH holds his hand a little. SH keeps talking and tells her….I think I like you also. I am going home tomorrow morning, so can we go together? I have no guardian so I can’t just leave the hospital. Th asks, why don’t you have a guardian? He says it is because he doens’t talk to his father. She tells him that she will see that he can leave the hospital, she knows that it can be lonely at the hospital.
TH sits and tells SW that she had a car accident before. SH tinks back to when he hit her with his car. That must be why she was so shakey back then. TH tells SH to promise her, when he stops liking her, just tell her that. One-sided love is the worst think in the world and I don’t want to do that.
SH gives TH a little jewlery. A little cup on a necklace? It looks like it is his mothers necklace possibly. he puts the necklace on her and says that it feels good to see someone in the hospital. he thinks that he should have visited his mother in the hospital more often. he had birthday parties there and he wanted to go home together with her.
TH tells him to take a nap, when he wakes up, lets go home together, you and me.

Daebak!! While I was coming across reviews and recaps I finally landed here..You are my saviour! Love from India.❤️
Yay! So glad you found us!
Same with me, I was just searching everywhere and stumbled upon this site. I love it so much, DM is a lifesaver❤️😍
This show is the best! Thank you so much for the recaps!!!!!
It seems like this drama doesn’t follow the original story much at all. It becomes more unpredictable.
Wah!!!! This show doesn’t follow the original storyline at all, but I don’t care! I am just along for whatever ride this new storyline has! Thank you so much for the recaps! Just wanted to let you know wo you dn’t stop recapping it!!! You are the best!!! 😍😁👍
Lol, yep it is way off from the original but I’m still watching it.
SH should die if we follow the original, so thank goodness they’re way off the original, I get to have hopes that they won’t kill him in the end too. 🙂
I am so confused. What is going on with the hospital? Can anyone fill me in?
I think, one of their drugs got approved by FDA but protesters think it’s actually harmful. This is prolly one of the reasons of the SW + MR marriage.
God….this is the most complicated drama ever … makjang …. Everything is interlinked with everything. SH n SZ liked each other but didn’t date,SH and TH are dating,their respective parents (YW n SW) use to date n still are (may b), Now SW is marrying MR coz may b she smhow killed his wife, MR also has sm kong od relationship wid d secretary, May b TH is d victim Of hit n run case…phewww…as if this was nt enough now hye joung bf is singing norabang wid HJ mother …. Wats happening yaar …
Kindly ignore spell mistakes … Was typing in so hurry … N autocorrect always likes to interfere …😊😊
I am the last person to talk about spelling mistakes 🙂 🙂 🙂
LOL!!!! This is a good summary.
Seriously …it’s hard to keep track of all their relationships ….and now additionally the secretary is interested in MR …. Binge watching ep 1 to 14 now …☺️☺️
You will have to come back and let us know how the bing watch goes 🙂
Thanks for th recap. This drama is using every plot line that ever existed 🙂
Eventually no one can marry no one because they all are PSEUDO-siblings 🙂 SJ is free to marry anyone at this point.
Am going to pretend this show has nothing to do with cruel intentions. It’s remotely dark.
And so much for thI break up. It lasted a while 5 minutes.
Am not sure if I will continue this drama. But will come and check fellow commentors and read recaps.
At this point I say stay for the hot mess-ness and laugh along with the crazy. I am surprisingly still having fun with this show despite it going completely into left field.
well, i guess i can do that as I really am not watching anything else current. Its just disappointing that this show showed so much potential in the first 2 episodes.
Pretty Noona is not there in Dramafever or Viki (in the USA). After Misty I seem to have a dry spell.
Am watching ‘A Poem a day’ (dont think you guys are recapping that)
I want to start ‘My Ajushi’, but need to find the right time for it – I hear its heavy stuff.
The first two episodes got my hope way up but the rest of these episodes are just chipping away at it and now there is just not hope left for anything that even resembles the earlier storyline.
Misty was such high quality that it is easy to have a dry spell after. I would suggest checking out My Ajusshi. It is heavy content (men hitting women, affairs, poverty, slight elderly abuse). It isn’t heavy handed in how it deals with it but if you are very sensitive to those issues then you probably shouldn’t watch it.
We were thinking of recapping A Poem A Day! But our schedule was just too packed to pick it up. It stinks because that one looks light and fun.
I would recommend Children of a Lesser God if it wasn’t so hard to find subs for. But that show is soooooo good. Maybe you can give Switch a try? It is just straight fun.
Thanks V!My Ajusshi – I think i will start it this weekend.
Children of a Lesser God – I don’t think its available here.
