The Great Seducer Live Recap Episodes 5 and 6

Live Recap for the Korean Drama The Great Seducer, episode 3 and 4.
MBC
Okay, here is our first live recap (technically an aftercap) of The Great Seducer! We’ll see how it goes because they talk a lot in this show, so I’m a bit intimidated. But if we could do it with Hwayugi and Waikiki then we should be able to do it with this one as well.

I am really enjoying the makjang feel of this drama translated to a summer-before-college setting with chaebols. So far Si-hyun looks magnetic, Tae-hee looks innocent, and Suzy looks scandalous, which is all I am asking for. I am not familiar with any of these actors previous performances, so I am going into this one dry and ready to rage-cry. Let’s go!

THE GREAT SEDUCER LIVE RECAP EPISODES 5+6
—————–
#1
OPENING
KJ meets with Suzi in a cafe, they talk fashion. It looks like SZ is doing a background check of HJ. But then she sneaks in some qustions about TH. KJ says TH doesn’t like some guy that keeps waiting for her. She calls the police on a guy that said he will wait in front of her house.

SZ asks if she is new to guys and the friend says that she was popular, even in Germany. They became best friends because everyone who KJ loves, always loves TH. But TH doesn’t date anyone so they can stay friends.

THE THREE
They are scheming. Then we see TH and SH on the bus. SH talks to his friends about not talking to TH on the bus so that she will feel bad. He also follows her around as a coincidence. If you have more coincidences then it will be fate and you willa ccept it as fate, because she wants to believe that.

Then we see him back hugging TH, but the friends think he shouldn’t do that, that only works on TV. But in SH’s imagination, he sees it working.

SJ says SH should be a method actor, he should really love her so it shows in the eyes. But SH says no one looks directly into his eyes because they are too nervous. Then they start to talk about her drinking ability. KJ said that TH can drink forever. They even have a billboard set up with all of their background information on TH. They also don’t know the infinity sign, they thought it was the number 8.

Cut to SH bringing TH some coffee, but she is already drinking coffee so he failed. He tries drinking some but he thinks it is too bitter and wonders why people drink that.

Cut to SH sleeping in the library. TH wakes SH up and asks him if he wants to ask her something? She recognized him being around her. He asks if he can have a meal with her.

#2
They go to eat at a cafe and SH says he was really hungry. TH thinks he was sleeping in the library well, did he come o see her today? He says yes. But it was a slip, he says she got him. He came there a lot just to see if she would be there. He saw her sleeping a lot of times in front of the building, she slept well. She says when did I?

But then he tells her how to eat fish. He peels the bones from the fish and this reminds her of her Appa. Her Appa says she won’t be able to eat this in Germany. She wonders if their mom is really not coming? Appa says she will be busy with pottery.

back to the present, SH wonders if she dons’t like it, does she want to eat something else? But TH starts talking about how she heard that SH is a womanizer and a trouble maker. He told her some cheesy words about his will and he probably seduced KJ’s mother in this way. He says he didn’t do it in this way, but he can tell her in detail what he did with her. But TH stands and says she doenst’ want to deal with a person like him who plays with someones heart. She leaves.

Then we cut to SJ and SZ shopping at an expensive store. SZ said that SJ is dating someone and he is all like, huh? I’m dating someone? Who?

Cut to SZ talking to KL about SJ, she thinks SJ is cool because he is crazy. SZ says she doens’t care about him but he likes her style.

Cut back to SJ and SZ, SJ thinks she sold out her friend. He won’t date her, he has a lot of other girls. But he says he is a humanist so maybe he can set up a date, but not her!

Then they start talking about HJ, it looks like they sent KJ to HJ’s home. You have to wear the proper clothing, very conservative clothing when you go to her house. SZ goes to the house and wears very conservative clothing. The mother says she looks so pretty. then they sit to listen to HJ playing the cello, horribly, but the mother thinks she is the best. SZ tries to agree. SZ is also a cello player so it looks like she could be a possible tutor.

The mother asked about SZ’s mother marrying JK, it looked like she didn’t know. But SZ says she pretending like she didn’t know because her mother is playful, it was a surprise. They talk playfully to each other, but in their minds we see their true thoughts. SZ thinks that this mother thinks she is easy and in the mothers mind she thinks SZ is a bad girl because she answers everything. The daughter thinks these two woman are using telepathy between each other. But ajumma smiles and says that she will see her later.

Then we follow the ajumma to her library. She has a lot of good books, but she picks up a fate on sexual dating life book and mutters that SZ smiles and answers questions just like her mother.

Meanwhile SZ is meeting with HJ. HJ doesn’t want to do the cello, she hates it! Can SZ tell her mother that she won’t do it? SZ says she isn’t there to tutor her. then she takes off her jacket and is wearing a sexy top underneath. The dauhter says that SZ is super sexy.

Then HJ wonders where her pet is? She finds it and SZ screams, it is a large turtle. HJ is so bubbly, but she is also so dense. the mother brings in some cupcakes that Ki-young and it also has a love letter. SZ reads the letter and then decides to take a selfie with HJ.

But afterwards she tells her friends that this girl was actually pitiful so she wanted to be a good eunnie to her, but then those cupcakes…she needs to eat some more so she will be stronger.

SJ tells her that she will lose her armor if she gets fat. Is her body her armor? he says no. SJ and SZ argue about that a little bit and then talk about eating pigskin and judging men about their sexuality but deny women eating? They talk about a bet that SH and SZ bet on, but SZ doesn’t want to tell SJ. She says whoever loses will break their parents marriage. Or that he will give up his car. SJ says he is okay with their parents getting married, but he doesn’t want them to give up their car…

Cut to TH and KJ eating the cupcakes. They playfully take photos with them. TH was also looking for the airplane with the birth secret but she couldn find it. Ah, KY sent the same cupcakes and the same love letter to both TH and HJ. he is a player in the extreme. Then he sees a selfie of HJ with SZ and wonders what that is.

TH says bye to KJ and then sees the bus stop, she thinks of SH throwing the airplane. At the same time, SH is at his place thinking about something as well. TH goes hom and thinks that she shouldn ‘have been so mean to SH, she wants to give him his airplane back. But then she sees that he is calling her. She is about to accept it, but he hangs up and smiles. he thinks that this will bother her a little bit and smiles.

MR asks SZ what she is doing today and she says that she is shopping. MR asks her if she would like to go together? But SZ wants to know why she is doing this> isn’t she busy? MR wants to know who she is going with? And she says HJ. The mother is surprised that she is friends with HJ but SZ says it is more strange that MR is marrying SW. Then she asks her mother to change her bed, she says she can’t sleep to well. But the mother says they will move to a new house soon, and leaves.

SHe thinks about calling him, but doens’t and leaves.

So SJ pulls up in his yellow sports car and introduces himself to her. he kisses her hand and she swoons. SZ says she has an appointment and has to leave. Can KJ take her home? SJ opens his car door for her and SZ tells him to do a good job, if he fails then they will break their deal. SJ smiles and tells KJ that he is happy to take her to her house. He will go their fast! he takes off.

SZ goes home and asks someone if they ate dinner. But then she gets a call from Emo. She says she will go eat. SH shows up to their clubhouse at that time and SJ walks in also. They both ask her what she wants to eat and SZ says that her mother is not changing her bed and says that she has to endure it. It means she has to wait because SW and MR are going to move in together. They say they should discuss it.

    Lol go for it! 🙌

    I’ve read Dramabeans’ coverage of the first two episodes and was a little disturbed by the matter-of-fact support for the female antagonist (??) Soo-ji. OK, granted this is set as a teenage drama but with the original premise, the sense of entitlement is what is disturbing. Yes, the main (rich) characters have their frustrations but to say that it then justifies playing around with others’ lives is a tad extreme. But that’s just me. Chaebol makjang shenanigans huh?? Sounds fun 😂

      That is the part that I love! I love how this is just so outside of the real world and yet plausible. All the characters that are messing with peoples lives will get it in the end, so for this drama it will be the journey more than the finale. I think people love this book/story so much because the character are so horrible in the beginning and they get their just deserts by the end of the book (and one of them manages to have a heart) so it’s really satisfying for the readers/viewers.

    OMG, thank you in advance! You’re a livesaver 😉 I’ve been wondering for a long time if you could live recap this drama too and you actually did. Couldn’t be more happier than this :”) Today’s episode are gonna be so much intense… Looking forward to your next live recaps as well xx

      Yep, a super life saver! Today’s episode was not as intense as I though it would be, but I am okay with that. The soft falling in love parts are probably happening in this episode and the next episode.

    Yep, thank you! I am surprised that TH feel for SH already, I expected her to put up more of a fight. It also looks like Suzy is taking on a more prominent roll I this drama. She gets way more screen time than TH. But perhaps that is by plan? Maybe, the more SZ leaves SHs life, the less screen time she will get and the more screen time TH will get.

    I am bummed because Tae-hee is already seduced! I thought it would take a lot more effort to seduce her…So easy! Thank you for the recap Drama Milk!

    Thank you for a great episode! I don’t think she is seduced or that it happened too quickly. It looks like it took all summer? Maybe the production team didn’t show time passing too well. It also took the duration of her mothers exhibit, but I don’t know how long her mothers exhibit was.

    TH isn’t completely seduced yet. She is just at the point of liking someone and wanting to spend time with them. The real seduction comes if she lets SH get her goodies or not. I think that was the goal of Cruel Intentions because the main character in that was very religious and believed sex was only for marriage. I am not sure what it is in this show, but I think it would be similar right?

    I love u guys …. Thanks for recapping….

  7. March 19, 2018 / 11:39 pm

    SW hugging YW? Wow, I didn’t see that one coming.

    With the preview, too bad, I was expecting TH to be more resistant to SH’s charms.

    So that’s mean that guy have a relationship with TH mother before??? Im confused!(sobsob) tbh i skip so that i can watched TH and SH part lololol. Please explainn? Huhu thank you~^_^

    • March 20, 2018 / 6:01 am

      I get the feeling that there’s so much more in that hug. But then SW is not SH’s dad anyways so that should not be a problem right? LOL

      That ending is making me anxious for the next episode.
