After discovering Ma Roo had 반환 the doll and her gift, she searches for him병원에 but finds out that he was discharged. Ma Roo 본국으로 돌아가 to find Jae Gil ( Lee Kwang Soo) and his new girl (Kim Ye Won). Although Jae Hee is about to enter Ma Roo’s home, lawyer Ahn stops her (and good riddance. Ma Roo doesn’t need you anymore). As Ma Roo leaves, he finds Eun Gi who 의문을 him on his neighborhood 과 관련 lifestyle. Ma Roo asks Eun Gi if she's interested in her, but she scoffs at 생각 and explains that she just 하고자 pay her debt. Ma Roo leans in and says he'll forgive her debt.

kdramacrazy’s Thoughts:

[ Note : This post reflects the opinions of the author, not necessarily those of allkpop.]

Have your tissues 이 준비, 모두. Because I'm sure I'll be bawling 눈 out for the tumultuous relationship between Ma Roo and Eun Gi. If only they could live in a 행복 world and have 아름다운 relationship and갈 on cute dates, 동안 us viewers 를 사용할 수 있습니다 pitchforks to kick Jae Hee out of the picture. Sigh. The chemistry between Ma Roo and Eun Gi was not 에만 sizzling, but also opens up the vulnerable 측면 of 두 characters as 각 has a brittle persona. Eun Gi sleeping 는 차에 and 을보고 Ma Roo의 가족 situation with sympathetic eyes, while Ma Roo smiles as he notices 모두 his sister and Eun Gi sleeping 가 함께. And I 사랑 that the plot 이동 forward with Eun Gi 을 the initiative to begin 와의 관계를 Ma Roo to mess with Jae Hee. Although 우리가 can clearly see Eun Gi 시작 to develop 감정 for Ma Roo quicker than he is, she's not vulnerable to blinding 사랑 (아직) and knows 을 이동하는 방법을the 게임 pieces. While the synopsis made it seem that Ma Roo would 사용하는 Eun Gi의 사랑을without her knowing, it's 매우 interesting 볼 that Eun Gi is the one who offered 그렇게하도록. And how the amnesia will 플레이 into this will make this 더 많은 exciting (and foreboding).

While we're all getting 우리의 tissues, let's 하시기 바랍니다 get a pitchfork to protest catty Jae Hee and annoying Choco. Jae Hee, Jae Hee, Jae Hee. I had a 비트 of sympathy for you, yes 제가 한, because you had a 하드 life and you didn't 를 공격 our poor Ma Roo. Yes, you let him take the blame, and you abandoned him to marry an 오래된 man. But we can forgive you a tiny 비트를 because you had a difficult childhood. But 지금 당신은 want 더 많은 money? And 뿐만 아니라 are you satisfied with 연주with the Chairman's heart, but you할 준비 play with Lawyer Ahn's heart? And why the heck are you 추위 to Ma Roo. Then you're shameless 정도로 return to 집 to see him? No. Jae Hee, I끝났어요 with you. You're on my blacklist, and I hope that you suffer. And Choco, please don't bother 동생을 and be rebellious. He already has 처리 할 수있을 정도는.

I also appreciate that Ma Roo doesn't have a meticulously planned revenge 계획을 because Ma Roo's hatred 에 대한 Jae Hee isn't fully explained. Yes, there are multiple reasons including Jae Hee framing Ma Roo as a blackmailer, Ma Roo blaming Jae Hee for 동생의 hospitalization, and Jae Hee marrying the CEO, but I를 기대 Ma Roo to be more vocal about it. The 경찰 scene, 있지만 it 보일 수 random in its placement, was vital in 를보고 Ma Roo's 분노와 the initiation of his “revenge” 에 대한 Jae Hee. I'm also hoping 에 대한 자세한 내용은 Jae Hee's character. Yes, I 미워 her, and I 것입니다 probably 그녀가 미워 until she meets her demise, but I'm confused about the two faces of Jae Hee. Why was she so 그런 뜻이 Ma Roo in 경찰서 as she 수 just have blatantly ignored his 질문을 only to 나중에 visit Ma Roo to 가능성이 가장 높은 apologize? If 우리는 could 탐구 Ma Roo and Jae Hee's 생각 even more, it would not only heighten the conflict but develop the 문자를 further.

And here’s Moon Chae Won doing the “Gangnam Style” horse dance to help cheer us up about the ups and downs of her relationship with Ma Roo.
