And now, on with the show!
This is the only time we see Daddy Useless get involved - to berate Jung Suh. Seriously, Father of the Year you are.

Stepmonster and Psycho Bitch planning entrapment of Song Joo. I am confused by bizarre thought processes. They are excited if Jung Suh dates someone else because then Song Joo would go for Psycho Bitch to which I say - bwaaaaa? It's not a binary proposition. There are more than two women in the world. If he doesn't end up with Jung Suh, it only means he won't end up with Jung Suh. It has nothing to do with him ending with Psycho Bitch.

Everyone is grown-up, Sister Luster still lives up to his name.


Grown-up Psycho Bitch. Whyyyy, Kim Tae Hee? You played arguably my favorite female character ever (in IRIS) so whyyyyy?

Trademark Crazy Eyes. I think it may be glandular.

Ahahahahaha, that would be Tree of Heaven, not this drama!

Sexy Hero is back and Jung Suh is off to meet him.


Not so fast, quoth Psycho Bitch! Yes, she runs her stepsister over with her car because she was goiing to meet a guy Psycho Bitch was sort of keen on. Sanity, you are doing it wrong!


Poor Sexy Hero is puzzled where did his Jung Suh disappear off to?

The answer he gets does not make him cheerier at all.



But Jung Suh isn't dead - Psycho Bitch left her id on a dead woman who was so battered as to be unrecognizable and then went to her father asking for help to dispose of the body. Awwww, family. We all depend on them. I often ask my Dad to help me hang various things around the house. Psycho Bitch asks her father for help in disposing of a woman she killed. Warms my heart!


However, Jung Suh isn't dead after all. That's OK, enter Sister Luster. Jung Suh has woken up with that most common of kdrama diseases, amnesia. Sister Luster sees it as a glorious opportunity to show his goodness and bring her back and expose his evil family. Ahahahahaha, who am I kidding? Sister Luster tells her she is named Ji Soo, was his girlfriend, and lost her memory in a fire. Probably the same fire I want him to perish in.


More time jump. Five years has passed and in an arranged marriage, Sexy Hero is engaged to Psycho Bitch. He has little interest in her, however. He seems to have little interest in most thing, being a charming flirt.


I like this cap. It expresses her inner evil.

Psycho Bitch refrains with great difficulty from getting out a woodoo doll when he tells her he is going to visit Jung Suh's burial site first and she should go home by herself.

Awwww, nice to know you care, Psycho Bitch! Seriously, is she the worst secondary girl ever or what?

I love this scene. He goes to the beach house they used to play at when they were little and where her ashes were scattered and she and Sister Luster end up on that beach and there are all these gorgeous near misses and I love how she is drawn to the house and him without remembering who they are. Also, he calls out her name and she wakes up from her dream asking if Sister Luster was calling her. THEY. ARE. MEANT. TO. BE. ELEVENTY.









Bwahahahaha, Stepmonster is asking Psycho Bitch how far she and Sexy Hero had gotten (i.e. in bed). Clearly since 'he'd rather get leprosy than touch me' would not be flattering, Psycho Bitch tries to describe her unassailable purity. Hah! Sweetie, if he crooked his finger, you'd probably expire from joy. (Not that I'd blame ya :P)

She is all 'you never tell me you love me.' He: ...'and?' She: 'You can lie - tell me you love me.' He: 'I love you.' Loved that part.

I loved this scene so much. He sees Jung Suh in the crowd and his playful, laid-back manner is instantly swept away, and he chases after her like a madman through the streets and the subway - more and more desperately and breaking apart, while she, of course, is oblivious. I totally cried. I so wanted him to catch her.











He is commissioning a mural for the center his family runs and this is one of the submissions. Yes, Jung Suh put Sister Luster's work in.


This scene, you guys, this scene. It's the day of his engagement to Psycho Bitch so he is planning to let Jung Suh go (side note, Mom of Hero, if he's still hallucinating his lost love all over Seoul, maybe you should hold off with the wedding).



He is so happy to think it was an answer to his prayer and then...as he keeps seeing her...it dawns on him she is real. OMGOMGOMG I was clutching my pillow so hard and crying. Again. Also, I just love how for him everything else ceases to exist the moment he spots her - everything but the need to find her again. That is very very swoony.










Jung Suh is, of course, totally puzzed by the good-looking lunatic.





Sister Luster uses the confusion to drag her away and yell at her when she says the guy could have known her in the past. How dare she doubt Sister Luster's sterling honor? Ugh, DIAF, douchebag. (The sad thing is, I think we are supposed to pity him. But after his little stunt which lasted for 5 freaking years, all I have is blistering hate).

Poor Sexy Hero has totally broken down.


But he recovers enough to chase after Jung Suh one more time. The guy really is getting a work-out.






Jung Suh escapes from the crazy and he actually keeps running and running after the bus.




(This whole sequence made me cry btw, you guys. Also, I was desperate for him to get on the bus but little good it did him).





You guys, I am so in love with this!
ETA: Am on ep 5 now and I really really yearn for Sexy Hero to pick up an Uzi and mow down every character in this story who isn't Jung Suh. How could they be surrounded by so many evil lunatics who need to go DIAF? They must have been mass murderers in their past life to get such lovely karma. Seriously, Sexy Hero, I am sure you can afford an illegal black-market gun. Go for it!
