K-drama: Secret Garden Episode 6 Summary and Review

Ok...they have officially kissed! However, it isnt the romantic full of passion kiss. It's a little awkward trying to figure out how to write the summary with JW's thots in Ra Im's body so I decided to describe them as the "New Ra Im and New Joo Woo" respectively. - refering to their new swopped bodies.

Korean drama: Secret Garden Recap Ep 6

The chapter begins with both JW and RI in shock over their new bodies! Not knowing what to do, the new JW ( aka RI) sneaked out of the house while the new RI dashed (aka  JW) out of the sauna house without paying. When they finally caught up with each other. The real JW in RI body, demanded to know what RI had done to result in this and RI grumbled if he must blame her for everything that goes wrong! Realising it will be bad if others see them behaving like this, the real JW suggested  that they headed to the park where it was more secluded to try to sort things out. However, they bumped into the director and the new JW was stunned at the smarty mouth behavior of the new RI towards the directer.

The new JW (RI) kept apologising to the director and scolded the new RI (JW) for talking the way she did to the director. The director quite frankly not quite sure of what was happening grabbed RI's hand and told her to leave with him. Panicking, the new JW grabbed the their hand and stopped them from leaving. The new JW (RI) pleaded with the director, but the director insisted. The new RI (JW)also panicked and asked out loud if the new JW is going to let her go, and let her leave with another man like that! the director and YS looked on in surprise? The new JW (RI) had no choice but to yell LET HER GO! The new JW (RI) said that he had already said RI is in his care as a prize winner and the director retorted that RI is his family. The new JW (RI) said he knew and always been grateful, but still he wants RI to leave with him and he will assure that RI will appear on the shooting set. The director looked at the bickering pair departing in puzzlement.

Alone, the real RI in JW body suggested to go to the hospital to see the doctor about it. The real JW snorted and asked if anyone will believe them? The real RI suggested a series of options like goin to the temple etc and the real JW in RI body rolled his eyes and asked what is her IQ level? Finally, the real RI suggested a kiss since that is always what happen in storybooks and maybe a kiss will help revert the bodies.

The new JW (RI) leaned forward tentatively and gave the new RI (JW) a quick kiss. JW (in RI's body) exclaimed what a lame kiss that was and grabbed JW's head and gave him a deep long kiss.

Both of them was kinda absorbed in the kiss only for the real JW to quickly tear herself away. Realising the kiss didnt revert the body exchange, JW was exasperated. The real JW questioned RI's motive is this is such an excuse for her to grab a chance to kiss him.

At the same time, the strange lady from Secret Garden reverted into a man!!! He looked at JW and RI's image appearing from a jug of water, and muttered that he was sorry to do this to them but everything he did is for his daughter!

Meanwhile, still bickering, JW and RI ran into Oska who is with a bunch of TV station people. Oska happy to see RI leaned over to hug her, only to be shocked by the rough treatment by RI. At the same time, the new JW kept apologising to Oska, who turned to ask if JW is unwell due to his very strange behavior!

Oska was off to shoot the new MV while RI and JW tried to figure out what to do. The real RI forbid JW to look at her body and demanded that the new RI (JW) has to change her clothes with her eyes shut. The new RI (JW) was struggling to wear the bra, and in typical egocentric JW style, the new RI got fed up and threw the bra away, complaining its difficult and he wont wear it! The new JW(RI) glared and demonstrated how to wear a bra, while making a snide remark that JW should be familiar with bra since he must have taken alot off! The real JW retorted that taking bras off are so easy in comparison putting them on! The real JW then sat the (new) JW down to help him shave but the (new) JW said she is fine since she has to shave herself, The real JW exclaimed really and asked where but the real RI ignored him.

At the MV shooting scene, JW and RI appeared together. The new JW kept apologising for the new RI's rude behavior to the director. The director asked why should JW be apologising (or better put,), butting into their (action school) business. The new RI told the director they have to talk privately, and left the team. Worried, the new JW grabbed the hair wig from one of the guys and followed the new RI and director.

Alone, the director said he too wanted to give RI a chance since she seem really keen to try out in the MV but her behavior has been disappointing and she blew her own chance away. So since she is only here to watch as a bystander, that will be all she gets. However, the new RI smiled secretly to herself before turning around and point blank asked the director "I have discovered it. You like me dont you?" pointing to herself. The director was stunned by this open frankness and before he can react further, he spotted JW at the background acting suspiciously. The new JW tried to eavesdrop but couldnt hear a thing, so he can only bow to the director apologetically as the director stormed off (in embarrassment?)...thw new JW demanded to know what the new RI had said that made the director's face look so weird? The new RI said she is tired and let head back to the hotel room.


At the shooting set, the new JW was giving out coffee and Oska appeared. When Oska find JW talking funnily and acting strange, he reach out to grab JW's face to see if he is having fever. However, the new JW shyly look away and lifted his legs, much to the puzzlement of Oska and the observant director who spotted the move.

Meanwhile, Oska did proceed with the MV shoot despite his reluctance to work with his ex gf Yoon Seul. However, YS demanded countless NG repeat of the shot and outright asked Oska if he had never felt that sort of helpless emotion of a man losing the woman he loved? Oska refused to submit to her questioning openly said nope, he has never felt that way. YS was taken back by that brutal answer and told Oska then she will explain to him how it felt to be jilted and ditch by someone you love. She went on to describe the torment and pain, where one cannot eat nor sleep, where even sleeping is hell. To the jilted, 365 is hell and everyday is hell.All the jilted person can think is how to cope with facing the new reality of having to treat a loved one like a stranger, and how not to die. And the only thought of not dying is so that there is a chance to see the exlover again. The sort of feeling where you feel like your whole heart is ripped from your body and you cannot breathe when u break up. So ask yourself, why do you want to stop your love on from leaving, how worried and uneasy you will feel. Do you understand?.

Hearing all that made Oska uncomfortable as he knew what YS was driving at. Not wanting to face her, Oska choose to leave in anger and said he doesnt want to shoot anymore. At the same time, the new JW who was observing in the background took the whole scene in.

Alone by herself, YS was surprised to see JW joining her offering a cup of hot beverage. YS assured JW that it was no big deal and it is a norm for the actors to conflict with the producer and its nothing personal. The new JW said he is here merely because she understand what YS had said earlier. YS apologised for not sharing with JW that she had known Oska before during the arranged marriage meetin. The new JW (RI) remarked to herself "So you guys have gone on arranged marriage..." JW asked then Oska is the guy in the story YS has mentioned earlier? YS continued to probed about Ra Im. YS said she doesnt question that RI is suppose to be dating Oska and yet is having a meal with JW before walking off. (and so JW shouldnt ask so much ) The new JW muttered to herself that these rich people sure think differently.

In the room, the new RI (JW) asked the new JW where on earth he had gone. New JW asked if the real JW had gone on a arranged marriage meeting with YS? Caught off guard, the real JW retorted so what? And that YS likes him and no woman do not like him. The real Ra Im said YS doesnt like him and she can tell being a woman. However the real JW said its the director that likes RI. The real RI told JW that the director is nice to everyone as he treat them like family.  The new JW started to leave and said Oska is waiting. The new RI stopped him and asked if RI is soooo eager to sleep in the same room with guys? Is Oska your family the the real JW aka new RI quizzed?

The real Ri retorted isnt it more strange if others seen JW and Ri sleeping in the same room? The new JW kicked RI and muttered there is nothing to see anycase and the new RI yelled after him "You have seen it havent you!!"

In the room, the new JW was stunned to see Oska coming out of shower and screamed a sissy scream. He passed oska a robe and Oska said he wont be fooled as he kno it was JW doing that the schedule with RI was switched to shooting MV. The new JW swore it wasnt him and Oska laughed saying that he hasnt seen JW like this for a long time , finally acting like his little brother again ever since that unfortunate incident... Oska patted JW on his chest and JW screamed! Just then , the new RI appeared.

The new RI asked to stay in the same room and the new JW tried to stop her, asking her to leave. Oska said its fine. The new RI (aka the real JW) decide to toy with / pay back the real RI (in JW body) and turn on the cute girly charm and look sweetly at Oska, calling him oppa. The new JW panicked and kept insisting that RI isnt that sort of girl!!! but the new RI said she is and doesnt Oska want her to be here. Oska said of course not, he welcome her. The new RI muttered it sure is easy to be a woman. The new JW couldnt take it and left the room, however alone, the new RI turned "nasty" again and treated Oska with disdain when Oska's playboy persona surfaced.

That nite, alone in her room, despite repeated reminders against seeing her body, the new RI (JW) decided to see RI's body just that once. He sucked in his breath and look down as he lifted the t-shirt, only to be shocked to see bruises and scars all over Ra Im's body.....the real JW in Ra Im's body sighed to himself...

Next morning. both arer disappointed to still be in swopped bodies. The new JW(RI) jumped ard in frustration in the toilet (soooo cute!!! I love Hyun bin like a little boy!!!!)

The new RI (JW) went to find JW and asked what to do. Then he asked where was Oska and both discovered the note that Oska said he had left. The new RI (JW) was pissed, cursing at Oska and as to what about the shopping mall activities! Pissed at his cousin irresponsible behavior, the new RI (JW) said she is heading for shower. Hearing that, the real RI was stunned and asked where is the new RI heading!! The new RI (JW) turned ard and scorned at the real Ra Im and asked her "What is there to see, esp how can this be a woman body when everywhere is full of bruises?!" The new RI (JW) lifted up the T-shirt to prove his point.

The new JW (RI) screamed if JW is crazy and dashed forth as struggled to keep the shirt down. As both of them tussled together and with JW wrapping himself round Ra Im, YS walked in and was flabberghasted to see the 2 entangled together in a compromising position!!! Both JW and RI looked up in shock as well!

Afterthought

Rewarded myself with this episode after few hours of study. I love how Hyun Bin tried to act like a little helpless boy and a little sissy. He is just so full of himself that even in a new body..really! His self arrogance takes the cake! It's so funny seeing him squirming when he wanted to pee.! and the way he find wearing a bra a chore and just want to walk ard without it! Not to mention him saying "taking it off is easy but must is it so difficult to put the bra on!"haaa.

More mysteries are thrown in...wondered what happened to JW when he was younger to cause that character change...and who is that mysterious guy who can concoct such potion? Ra Im's dad??? Why does the dude have such magical power ? Suspense suspense... I adooooore secrets like this!

Now that JW and RI destinies are irrevocably intertwined....I really look forward to the next scenes. How will the director react to RI since he thinks that RI has seen thru his feelings? how will they go back to their daily lives ?

Ahhhhh..its another week long wait...how will I pull thru?!!! Anyone else on board ep 6 yet?

K-Drama: Secret Garden Episode 5 Summary and Review

The seriously addicted me has finished watching episode 5 and gasping for more! Are they going to kiss finally in next episode?!!! Heart attack.....inner scream!!!

ok enough screaming....back to more impt stuff! Reviews and Summary!

This will be a quick summary (off my head) without much details since I dun have much time at the moment. I may come back after wed to add more dialogue details since they are pretty funny.

Afterthoughts
I like JW because while he is callous, he will reflect upon his actions after seeing Ra Im's expression and reactions. He isnt heartless, and he does get affected by the events. I think he isnt outright being mean, but just so frank and seeing things differently being in a completely social circle and upbringing that he doesnt understand poverty is, and thus his attraction to ra Im which defied every thing he knows, and that she is pretty too! The starting scene where he went thru everything to find the bike keys says that Ra Im do mean alot to him, and he does care what she feel. I think he doesnt feel good when ra Im gets upset but his natural inclination to her provocation is just to "hit back" at her by stating the obvious and not sugar coating his words. he doesnt mince his thoughts and say things as he see it, which in a way childlike behavior. Yet he does all that because he do like Ra Im and she infuriate him soo much and thus all bickering (lover's spate?),

Watching Ra Im trying to dress up was a little sad for me because we all know how it turn out later, that her best efforts to look nice for JW went down the drain due to the rather battered bag which borders on disgraceful...and when she tied the napkin over the broken bag strap to hide the pins after JW told her off, Oooo ouch... that hurts..the pride and ego all shattered over a million pieces....yet I am glad she didnt let him get her down even though she acknowledge and recognise some degree of truth in his words. if only JW knew how much effort she did put in to her best of ability....sigh...

Secret Garden Ep 5 summary

The story begins that JW has booked the whole restaurant venue so the 3 had to lunch together. It was hilarious watching JW's jaw dropped in utter surprise and disbelief at the 180degree attitude change when Ra Im was with Oska, the gentleness, the meekness and the sweetness which are all eluded from him! He gulped and nearly choked when Oska and Ra Im deliberately flirted verbally before him and Ra Im called Oska Oppa. Just then, the young upstart singer started to sing and the 3 of them hushed to listen to him hear him sing.


During the song, JW looked at Ra Im intently as he recalled past encounters with her, the things he saw and felt on his end. Flashes of memory fly by showing him looking at Ra im in distance trying to conceal the torn bag, JW fishing out her bike key from the waters, and him staring at the pile of mess in the shopping mall and buying them up with a sense of helplessness of the situation. Meanwhile, we see Ra Im recalling her girlike excitement and frantic over what to wear when JW had sms her out...

When the song ended, Oska excused himself to try to catch hold of the young singer while JW began his "interrogation" of Ra Im's different attitude towards Oska. He asked her if she didnt know that Oska is a big flirt and womaniser? As he mimicked her "Can I call  u Oppa" (this is my fav scene of the episode!), he questioned how could she behave so differently towards Oska like a 16yr ld in crush vs the antagonising manner towards him. JW added that he is always the one to get Oska out of his womanising mess, so how can Ra Im idolise someone like that?!. Ra Im told JW to use his skills to settle the woman who has been looking at him for a while now. JW turned ard to see Yoon Seul happily looking at him.

After gettin rid of Yoon Seul commenting that its very hard to have a meal with Ra Im, JW and Ra Im was still bantering when Ra im ran into her very unhappy boss seeing her here. Meanwhile, a furious Oska who has been told by Yoon Seul that what they had wasnt love, angrily told Yoon Seul that Ra Im is way better than her and he is dating her, much to the displeasure of Yoon Seul who felt Ra Im was beneath Oska as ra Im has no class nor style. Still fuming, Oska went to JW and challenge him to a race, that if Oska win, JW will have no say in how they (Oska and Ra Im) develop. Unwilling to give up Ra Im at all, JW agree to the race.

While being sent off to wait in the director's room, Ra Im overheard the 2 guys preparing to set off and asked to join the race not knowing what the bet was. Her only request was to participate in Oska MV if she wins. However during the race, JW accidentally knocked the ocean road signage, leading ra Im to head the opposite direction into the unmarked forest.

Along the race, JW kept turning back to look for a non appearing Ra Im. Just as he was about to win the race, he heard A woman scream over the wireless talking piece and he immediately screech to a stop and asked if Ra Im was alrite? Oska won the race and mocked JW if he was staging the scream excuse as he lost. Just then Oska heard the scream too and the guys split up to search for Ra Im.

JW saw the wrong signage and headed to the forest to locate Ra Im. When he found her, he worriedly asked if she was ok and yelled at her for not using the phone or wireless set. Ra Im appeared fine and said the reception was bad and the set malfunction etc. He asked her if she was fine since she screamed but she insisted it wasnt her. JW insisted it was her scream but Ra Im said he may heard a scream but it wasnt her for sure. She had spotted a sign that said "Secret Garden" and was just thinking to head there to make a call for a cab.

When they got there, it was a strange run down place with countless colourful bottles all over the place. a strange lady appeared and asked them to pick a chicken soup dinner set. The peculiar place had an assortment of strange bottles (potion or alcohol?) which the strange owner claimed was for her daughter. The strange lady seemed to know things about the two and when she was being nice to JW and ignoring Ra im, he kinda slide further away trying to distance himself from the strange woman. However thanks to the weird dinner environment, JW get to share his first meal with Ra Im finally....Yet unknown to them, this place was exactly the same "magical" house that was in an art piece that JW had previously reviewed.

Heading back to hotel, Ra im shyly commented the shy person in her thanked JW for looking for her. JW asked why couldnt she thanked him earlier but Ra Im said if he said anymore, the other angry person in her will bash him. She gave one of the 2 bottles (from the secret garden) to JW. JW said he doesn't want it as he doesn't drink things from unknown sources. ra Im said it wasnt for him but for Oska and perhaps she should give it to oska herself. Hearing that, JW grabbed the bottle and said if its for him, how can she just give it away. As they started to banter, they ran into the director again who was fuming at Ra Im "disappearance" from the room. The director told her to go back and JW interrupted isnt it weird for Ra Im a woman to sleep with a bunch of guys in the same room? The director retorted there is no gender differentiation in their work family.

In the room, Ra Im got an earful. The director then told the rest of the guys to pack up their room and move to his room, letting out the other room for Ra Im. Just then, JW appeared, declaring that while it may be alrite for teh director but for him, it is unacceptable and too strange a concept for a woman to share a room with a man who is not related. The director asked what is JW 's business and JW said since Ra Im is the prize winner, he is obliged to care for her accommodation these few days and he will let her have his room while he will join Oska. The director was shocked that ra Im actually won the prize! (for the bag he bought secretly)

Reaching his room, JW openly asked how can she stand the idea of sleeping in the same toom and asked what is her relationship with the director? Is he your boyfriend?! he hurriedly demanded to know. Ra Im refused to tell him and asked why is he so nice to her. JW said that she knows why and there is 2 sort of woman to him, the marrying kind, and the kind to toy with / have flings and he is wondering which category she belong to. JW said she should let him hug her to decide. ra Im asked so what if she did and if he liked her after hugging her, so what will happen? Will she be like Cinderella?

JW brutally replied no, not Cinderella but Little mermaid, one who started with nothing and end up with nothing except to be foam as in the story. Upset, Ra Im finally slapped JW. JW picked up his stuff and left.

Ra Im was out, still reeling from hurt about what JW had said frankly about her. JW was also in his own room thinking about her. Oska spotted the bottle and asked if it was alcohol. Not wanting Oska to have it, JW jumped up from bed and grabbed the bottle, declaring that he will buy Oska alcohol but not this bottle. Oska didnt persist and said it was fine. JW asked his cousin how did he know Yoon seul a woman who had gone on a arranged marriage meeting before with him? Not wanting to reveal the truth, Oska lied that Yoon seul was somewhat his fan then.

Ra Im colleague appeared and asked her to meet Oska MV producer since she is here and he will try to settle the director for her. However to her shock, it was Yoon Seul!

Ra Im and JW, each alone with the bottle of strange alcohol, decided to drink it at the same time. The sky changes and thunder and lightning struck, unknown to them, their future is going to change drastically!

Next morning, Ra Im opened her eyes and think it was a dream to see Oska sleeping next to her with his hands on her. JW on the otherhand was aching all over and awaken by a snore. When they fully awaken, they both screamed in shock, to discover they had switched bodies!!!!

K Drama: Secret Garden Episode 4 Summary and review


The scene opens with Joo Won back in the mall to handle some work. Just then, he spotted Ra Im walking inside his mall.As he stood there staring at her every moves, Ra im looked up and their eyes met.

They stood across each other, looking at each other without a word.

In his office, Joo won stood and stared at an almost squirming Ra Im solemnly without a word. He finally broke the silence asking Ra Im if he got it right - that despite not having purchased anything from his mall, yet she is here when she received a call informing her that she had won the 3rd prize, a vacuum cleaner. Ra Im replied that she knew it sounded a little preposterous and asked him uncertainly that he didnt have anything to do with this right?

Joo Won looked at her intently and smirked before turning serious and questioned her "Do u think I m that free? This isnt even a vacuum cleaner store, just to give u a vacuum. So you really are here to collect the vacuum?Isnt it bad enough to have a bag that is more worthless than a plastic bag?" Joo Won gave a big sigh after insulting her, and muttered aloud to himself that he must be out of his mind, to even consider a woman who comes to the mall just for a vacuum.

Ra Im taken back asked him to repeat again. Joo Won taunted that it is impossible that she didnt hear him the first round. She replied that she heard it but questioned herself if she had misheard him. With that, Joo Won mercilessly repeated again with his typical rich-boy arrogrance just to drive home his point. "I must be crazy, you are just a woman who is just here for vacuum cleaner. Did you hear me loud and clear this time?" (kinda of insulting her character that she is so cheap)

Obviously hurt, Ra im couldnt believe her ears and retorted if he is truly such a jackarse. Joo Won replied that she is just someone who had momentarily tempted his heart, but of poor background, low educational background and lowly qualifications who doesnt even have a shred of dignity and pride. He went further to question her if she had considered how many pairs of eyes are staring at him now, esp when he had let out mall space for them to shot some takes, additionally it was the first time in his life that he had ever bothered to treat anyone to lunch, and all these simply was done because of her. And yet, this very woman is now stepping into my mall, coming to claim the gift and walking out of my office in this manner, must you really let all my employees see this? Couldnt you treat me as well as the same way I had treated you?" Joo won gave her a piercing look as he finished. Ra Im was at lost for any words of defence and gave a self-deprecating smile. Joo Won caught that and asked if she was mocking him?

Ra Im retaliated that hadnt he complimented before she was pretty when she got angry, so isnt she prettier when she smiles as such? (and so he should be less angry i suppose) Plus she concedes that everything he had said was right, regardless of any reasons, she shouldnt have come here, not considering the position she had put him in, and she was sorry for that. Also, if he had been shamed by her presence here, she too apologise for that. Joo Won listened without a word except to look at her.

As she got up to leave, she told him that no matter what, she will still take the vacuum to his utter disbelief. She explained that she had struggled for a moment and considered what she should do, whether she should still try to retain the image of her in his mind, but since there will be none after this, she might as well take the vacuum with her. She further added that even though she has non stellar background and low qualifications, but the vacuum should not have any problems when people like her used it rite?

A visibly affected Joo Won told her to stop it but she went on that he can just let people assume that she is just some chick that he had toyed with and cast aside. Joo Won got upset and told her to stop it. He told her that it would not be even be possible to entertain that thought of toying with her and he will show her exactly why NOT! With that, he grabbed her and dragged her to another part of the mall which stocks the latest season of fashionable high end ready to wear. Ra Im struggled in vain and when they reached the woman's section, Jon Won relentlessly picked any item in sight from bags to clothes and threw it at her to the ground without pause.

Then he turned ard and demanded her to wear them. Ra Im asked what on earth is he doing but he said didnt she try to prove that she didnt care a damn thing? So what rubbish is she sprouting? Toy with her? He asked her if she is even qualified to be his toy? She will have to be at least of such standard before she can ever entertain the thought of "being toyed with" by him. Joo Won continued that while he can tolerate many things from varying religion, to different racial colour and even sexual orientation, but he cannot withstand that impoverish look. He pressed on that didnt she said that looking poor is her thing, so what's with that reaction of hers? What did she take him as?

Ra Im having enough insults being thrown at her chose to leave but Joo Won wasnt done with her. he grabbed her and asked her dint she say she wanted to be a "plaything"? He picked up a dress and went on to dragged her against her will to the changing room.

As he pushes her into the crammed changing room, he slammed the door behind him and they both stood there staring at each oher in the enclosed space. As Joo Won started to sweat as his panic attack starts under pressure. Unknowing to his condition, Ra im speechlessly looked away from his piercing stare.


He held up the dress and told her to put it on. "Do u need me to help put it on?" he sacastically asked her. When she didnt respond, he started to go for her top button but she stopped him asking "So what happens after I changed into the dress? What is he gonna do with a woman who is unqualified to play with him?" Nothing, he replied instantly. "I had merely wanted to remind you how out of reach I am for you."

His heart started to pound and his panic attacks started its onset. He suck in a deep breath and continued that he roughly know what sort of woman she is now, but he has yet to completely get a full picture which is why he wanted to find out more and she should give him more time. Ra Im retorted what time? Time for him to investigate why she is in poverty (or what poverty is about)? He asked her if his efforts are that laughable when at least he had tried to put in some effortswhereas what had she done except for the vaccum? What he had really been pissed about was that he had obviously told her before what sort of stauts he is and what he does, and yet she clearly had not even bothered to consider his position for even 5 mins. Ra Im looked up at him in shock.

They stared at each other without a word again before his attack finally set in and he roughly shoved her aside and dashed out of the changing room. Ra im stared after his departing figure and thought to herself while Jon Won ran out to the open space panting.


 He desperately clutched his chest catching his breath, bending over drenched in sweat for his attack to wear out.. Ra Im listlessly walked out of the mall.


Meanwhile on way back, Joo Won suffered another panic attack and struggled to drive thru the enclosed road tunnel and had to call his doc. At home, His doc asked if he was under some stress? He fumbled with some excuse that it was his cousin always giving him trouble but the doc knew better.

He then on pretext of coming across from his reading, asked his doctor what does it mean to suffer from love sickness?

In his garden alone, he plucked off petals to contemplate if Ra Im will scold him. The results appeared to be Yes all the "way and he was annoyed, declaring petulantly that it was obviously her fault and walked off. Yet unknown to him, another petal grew from a plucked flower, indicating a different conclusion?

Oska skipped the Thailand trip and head to Jeju island instead to hunt down a young upstart. In office, Joo Won's secretary passed the vaccum to Ra Im's housemate.

At his grandfather's family lunch, Jon won was openly backstabbed by his staff that he hardly turn up for work much to the displeasure of his mum. (can someone explain to me as to WHY Joo Won has 3 coloured pens/highlighters in his breast pocket?? A new fashion statement? The geeks have invented that fashion statement dozen years back! LOL!)  His grandfather obviously smitten by his new wife was very supportive of his new wife's extended family. The aunt asked if Joo WOn know what people in the office think of him and he replied of course, that everyone hates him and that he is doesnt work, and weird in his behavior. And if its was left to him, he would hate this guy too. If there was someone who dare to tell him in his face, he might even promote the dude. The grandpa was pissed. JW mum tried to push for Jon won saying sales have increased under his charge but the granddad said it would too under anyone and actually encouraged Park to work hard and think the company as his own much to the shock of everyone present.

When JW confronted park, he retorted why did JW mistreated his sister (the actress) and shielded the stuntwoman instead?

On the other hand, Oska created a mess with the work schedule by being in Jeju. Yoon Seul did some underhand tactics and got the other producer to quit and so Oska manager was forced to agree to work with her on Oska  CM/MV project.

Yoon Seul approached Ra Im's boss for some job and she tried to flash her crappy english at him, only to be shocked that he was way much more fluent that she is. Taken back, she had to swopped back to Korean....

At home, Joo Won was completely distracted and he could only think of Ra Im and wasnt paying attention to the artwork displayed before him.

Ra Im was also thinking about the incident in the mall when her housemate turned up with the vacuum. She asked why and her housemate said it was the CEO's wish and that this vacuum should suit her. Hearing that, Ra Im was incensed and pissed, and called Jon Won.

Joo Won was shocked to see Ra Im calling him and paused for a while before answerin it hesitantly. When he heard Ra Im's irate's voice, he started to smile. She yelled at him why wasnt he answering and what the hell is the vaccum about and for him to take it back. Joo Won grinned smugly to himself and asked who does she think he is talking to and if she doesnt want it, she can dump it or return it to him herself.  Just then, he spotted the artwork and asked if it was the same earlier? He commented wasnt the lights in the room on but the secretary said the theme of the artwork is darkness..Joo won figured he must have been mistaken and told them to put the scary works away. When everyone was away, the lights in the picture turned on!

The housemate told an super annoyed Ra Im  that Joo won didnt go to work so Ra Im had to call back action school for his address filled in the form earlier. When Ra Im arrived at the huge compound, she asked which building belong to Joo Won and was shock that the whole estate belonged to Joo Won!

Joo won was readin his book by the porch when Ra im turn up and he was utterly stunned to see her. Then he recovered and acted cool while braving her confrontation. She grabbed the vacuum box and dumped it to him and asked what is this about? She said he should have given it to her when she had wanted it back then but instead, he choose to present it to her this way and what is his motive.

Joo won smirked and told her saying she wasnt wrong and he indeed did provoked her first and he questioned himself why should he get upset with a woman who panicked before candles and flowers. He asked her if she rem the first day they met on the set when he had sent her to the hospital, they should have just be done there and then. However due to his sense of kindness and warmth, and that she is like a symbol of poverty, so she can go ahead and use the vaccum.

Ra Im said everything he said is laughable and she really wanted to bash him with the vaccum! She asked if he knew how far he lives from her and she doesnt need such a neighbor like him so he should save it and keep the vaccum for himself. As she walked to his bike, Joo Won threw the vacuun into the pond. She was stunned and asked what he was doing. He didnt even look at her and replied he doesnt need it and she doesnt take it.




To his utter surprise, Ra Im walked into the waters to pull up the vacuum box.

Now it was Joo won's turn to be pissed. He told her to stop it when she insisted on taking away the vacuum. To stop her, he grabbed and threw her bike keys away in a state of fury and yelled at her, asking how could she be so cruel as a woman?

When he threw the box away, she should have insisted that he picked it up, or that he should apologise, or she could have mock him on the spot, but why on earth did she go waddle into the pond to retrieve the vacuum?!!! Why on earth did she do that Jon Won screamed at her.

Wasnt that what you want from me when you threw the thing into the waters? Ra im retorted. That's because I didnt expect you to really walk into the waters! Joo won yelled back at her. So you threw my keys away?!!! So go retrieve it! Ra Im shouted back. Why canx you just let me APOLOGISE!!! A truly infuriated Joo Won Yelled back at her. Ra Im glared at him and headed off to the pond without a word.

Joo Won restrained her this time and asked where did she think she is going? Instead, he grabbed her hands and told her he would buy her a 100 bike and she should follw him back to the house to rest. Ra Im was struggling to be freed but both stopped when they saw his mum.

The mum asked who was the lady and JW said someone he just knew and she questioned that Ra Im couldnt even self introduce herself? JW tried to stop his mom's "snobbish treatement but she continued to insult Ra Im by asking how times has it been she has been to this house. Ra Im honestly replied this is the first and the mum asked if Ra Im has been paid? Jw tried to intervene but the mum continued to insult Ra Im saying stop being so thick skin and that doesnt she get it? Ra Im said she understood.

Ï have only just realised that I am just and only but a very poor and distanced neighbor that was under Jon Won;s care."Ra Im replied politely. JW told her to stop it and tried to explain but his mum questioned if he must disapppoint her like this, how could he bring someone of such sub standard home? Even if he is toying ard, for heaven sakes, he should still watch himself and not to scare her. Ra im told her not to worry and a guy that is blessed with good parents like him who doesnt have to worry about anything wont have time to play with her.

As the mum started to nag about the threat from Park during lunch the other day, Joo won didnt hear a word as he watched Ra Im walked away.

Alone, when he saw Ra Im's bike and the waters, he paused for a while and slowly made his way into the waters to look for her keys....At home, Ra Im looked out into the view before her and struggled to hold back her tears.

At work, Ra Im heard about Oska's project but was disappointed when her boss said she has no part in it. Meanwhile her boss called her housemate and told her to do him a favor, to pass her the bag he had bought and passed it off as something she got from staff rate. he housemate sheepishly accepted her thanks and then asked about the vacuum cleaner which Ra Im immediately told her never to say that word before her ever again! She started to ponder what's with her spate of bad luck these days.

Just then, the housemate received a call from the secretary and apparently Ra Im had been selected to be the prize winner to go on a paid holiday with Oska in Jeju!

In the office, Joo Won tried to stop the secretary from giving Ra Im the holiday prize and yelled to let the fourth winner go instead but the secretary said it was too late...she is already on her way!!!

As Oska and Ra Im happily walked to the designated spot, both were shocked to see Joo Won sitting there, coolly informing them they are 10mins late.

Afterthoughts

I just love this series to bits! Or rather much better put, I adore Hyun Bin to bits here. His character is soo exasperatingly haughty and yet funny! Ra Im is so obviously his object of facsination and yet she doesnt try too hard not to get suck into it all.

In a way, I love the undercurrent of sparks and attraction, being covered up by the schoolroom-like taunting, verbal bullying and the series of "fiery"retaliation! Haaa haa haa.

Makes one wonder why is she so uptight over the vacuum and if she really wants nothing to do with him, or care how he really thinks of her, she would just dump the vacuun than take the trouble to drive the damn thing to his place and only to pick it up again. I mean all common sense tells her that he wanted to deny his feelings through bullying her to submission, into a familiar mould he can comprehend but she willingly aid his bullying by doing the things she know he doesnt want her to do, like pick up the vacuum. But what is she doing by obliging him despite whatever she said about wanting nothing to do with him?

His part I can understand, she is an object of study and her uniqueness draws her to him. But as for Ra Im, her reaction is purely inviting him to taunt her more. if she wants to prove that she is the punky couldnt care less sort of woman, then she could have jolly well drop the vacuum with the guards and be done with it. After having been so terribly insulted about her low standard by this guy, what's the point of seeing him again unless...well unless you harbour some sort of hope and affection to be so forgiving.....

I love the chemistry between the two. I havent got over the situp almost kissing scene in the previous episodes and hungry for more.
