Thank you so much for sharing ^^


EPISODE 1

The show opens with Chef Ki Joong (Kim Young Kwang) grilling a dish in the kitchen. The dish is brought to the table of our main couple, Hye Yoon (Jung So Min) and Jung Hoon (Sung Joon).
Hye Yoon takes the reigns of the story, and as she narrates, she looks on lovingly at Jung Hoon.



After greeting his patrons, Ki Joong saunters over to Hye Yoon and Jung Hoon’s table. He gives Jung Hoon a knowing look and winks at him. Ki Joong then presents Hye Yoon the highlight of their meal—ice cream? She’s vocal about her disappointment with the dessert, but she’ll soon be in on that tacit glance between the boys.

Jung Hoon watches her nervously as she takes a bite of her ice cream, but the expression on his face is replaced with panic when Hye Yoon begins to choke. Ki Joong and her photographer friend Dong Bi (Han Groo) rush to their aid. Dong Bi is unsuccessful with the Heimlich maneuver, but Jung Hoon takes a shot at it, and a ring ejects from Hye Yoon’s mouth and jounces on the floor. Hye Yoon pushes a concerned Jung Hoon and doesn’t seem to notice the ring, as she gasps for breath.



Plan A for operation proposal is a bust, but Jung Hoon’s a smart guy, coming up with a plan B.
The young lovers arrive at a posh hotel (or apartment?), where Hye Yoon is pleasantly surprised with flowers and a heart-shaped cake. On the bed, a bouquet of roses, bathrobes, and matching PJs rouse a smile on Hye Yoon’s face. She turns to Jung Hoon, and a tear trickles down her cheek. 

He gets down on his knee, presents her with the choking hazard ring, and proposes. Of course, she’ll say yes! 

He slips the ring on her finger, and she rewards him with, “I love you”. They seal their engagement with a real kiss that only cable channels are willing to simulate. The first ten minutes of this show has already outpaced Playful Kiss and Standby with the physical intimacy. 



Their friends Ki Joong and Dong Bi may be getting lucky that night, too. They’re all over each other as soon as they enter Ki Joong’s apartment, frantically stripping off their clothes. As he lays her down on the couch, however, Dong Bi’s hand knocks down a lamp. 

That kills the mood for Ki Joong, who bitches about the broken lamp. Even though Dong Bi apologizes, the situation escalates into an argument, and clearly it becomes more than just about the lamp. (I’m pretty sure Jung Hoon’s proposal to Hye Yoon comes up during their discussion.) Something Ki Joong says hits Dong Bi hard, and she cries.


Back at the hotel, the newly engaged Jung Hoon and Hye Yoon cuddle under the sheets. Is this supposed to be afterglow? But they’re in their matching pajamas …

She holds up the ring on her finger, and it appears she asks about it. His reply doesn’t seem to satisfy her, and she moves to the living area, where they continue their discussion. I think they may be talking about his ice cream proposal. The conversation devolves into an argument, with Hye Yoon clearly not putting up with any crap.



At this time, Deul Rae (Choi Hwa Jung), who’s probably Hye Yoon’s aunt, is introduced when Dong Bi drops by for a visit. They sneak into the darkened house, tiptoeing in to the kitchen. Deul Rae accidentally slams a cupboard door, and that wakes up sister Deul Ja (Lee Mi Sook).

Trying to avoid any questions from sis, Deul Rae quickly scuttles Dong Bi out of the house, but it’s too late. Mama gets her question in and becomes suspicious. I think she may be wondering about Hye Yoon’s whereabouts.



As Hye Yoon and Jung Hoon step out from the hotel elevator, Hye Yoon receives a call from Deul Ja. It appears she placates mom with some excuse.

Hye Yoon still seems cross with Jung Hoon, but instantly, they’re back to being cute and on sweet terms.



Hmm, perhaps Hye Yoon’s excuse didn’t fly with mom (or maybe didn’t fit Dong Bi’s cover story for her friend), as Deul Ja pushes Deul Rae and Dong Bi out of the house, scolding and beating them on the way to the car.

As the women drive, mom phones older daughter Hye Jin (Jung Ae Yeon), piling her on with distress nagging about Hye Yoon.



Meanwhile, Hye Yoon and Jung Hoon are back in their hotel room, both just having finished a shower and dressed in their bathrobes. The couple hug, and Jung Hoon playfully kisses her neck, making her squeal.

Just as he’s carrying her to the bed, Hye Yoon receives a call from older sis, warning her about Deul Ja’s upcoming raid. Hye Jin would be familiar with this situation, her romantic interlude with her then-lover-now-husband having been interrupted by mom’s hotel bust.

  2. I love So Min in this character. She's feisty, strong and independent. I hope that this is a stepping stone for her to take on more challenging roles that will catapult her into one of the top shining stars from Korea.She reminds me a lot of Susan Sarandon, whom i consider one of the most versatile actress from Hollywood.

    Although i'm a hyunmin fan, the intimacy here does not bother me at all because those scenes were weaved into the story so well that I just took them in easily together with the captivating story.

    So Min san, GANBATTE NE!!!
