EPISODES 11-12
After recalling the confession and her kiss with Yong-pil, Sam-dal wants time to gather her ideas. She’s not assured about getting again collectively as a result of in relation to exes, they’d always remember the explanation they broke up initially. However Yong-pil is assured that they’ll overcome the breakup as a result of the recollections of their love are stronger than the explanation for his or her breakup.
We get one other kiss, and our childhood sweethearts turn into official as soon as once more. We might not have gotten alternative angles for both of their kisses, however at the very least we get blushing cute moments, snuggles within the hideout (witnessed by Mi-ja and Gyeong-tae’s mother), post-snuggle readability, and the stroll of disgrace again residence. Heh.
As traditional, the neighborhood is in Yong-pil and Sam-dal’s enterprise. This time, it’s Sang-do’s dad and mom who carry up the will-they-won’t-they dialog, and Sang-do insists that Yong-pil and Sam-dal are NOT a pair. Then his dad and mom inform him to play cupid, and Sang-do explodes. “Why do I’ve to assist if he likes her? Why do I at all times have to surrender what I need?” I don’t know, perhaps as a result of the individual you need doesn’t need you. Sam-dal will get a whiff of the stress between Yong-pil and Sang-do, however the scenario between the fellows decelerates into infantile bickering about who gave up extra for the opposite throughout their a few years of friendship.
Transferring on to Dae-young and his theme park, Mi-ja just isn’t having it when she learns that Dae-young plans to relocate the park to Samdal-ri. Sam-dal’s dad is upset with Dae-young, however greater than the divorce itself, he’s extra upset that Dae-young didn’t communicate after the divorce. Over drinks, Dae-young cries that Jin-dal was the one who left him as a result of she mentioned he couldn’t reside with out cash. He assures Dad that he can reside with out cash, and that he even went so far as making an attempt to get disowned by his household… however the household register system had been abolished when he went to the district workplace.
The lads find yourself drunk in the lounge. And over breakfast the following morning, we get one other episode of Dae-young’s delicate palate. It appears like that was an issue throughout his marriage — which led to his mother’s directions to trash the facet dishes his mother-in-law (Mi-ja) despatched over to their chaebol residence. Ouch!
Earlier than Dae-young can embarrass himself over the facet dishes served for breakfast, Jin-dal drags him outdoors. She scolds him for upending the Namdal-ri deal to defend her honor — however beneath all that reprimand lies her fear that Dae-young will get into bother at residence if he screws up the theme park enterprise.
The theme park relocation results in a face-off between the Namdal-ri haenyeo squad and the Samdal-ri haenyeo squad. It’s a free for all battle between the haenyeos, with everybody throwing arms, pulling one another’s hair and taking names. And within the midst of the drama, Mi-ja notices how Yong-pil shields Sam-dal from incoming assaults. Sam-dal already requested her mother if it was okay to love Yong-pil, and whereas Mother doesn’t object, this scene highlights her have to settle scores with Sang-tae for her daughter’s happiness.
The haenyo face-off additionally reinforces Jin-dal’s anti-theme park stance, however she wavers when Dae-young tells her that he’s bringing the theme park to Samdal-ri to cease her mother from diving. Jin-dal is shocked to listen to that Dae-young is aware of about her mother’s arrhythmia, and it dawns on her that he was the one who paid Mi-ja’s hospital invoice. Since Jin-dal additionally desires her mother to cease diving, she grudgingly turns into pro-theme park behind her mother’s again. And now Jin-dal and Dae-young have a strong purpose to work together going ahead.
Hae-dal learns extra about Ji-chan after she joins — or relatively, is dragged by Ha-yul to — a Shield the Dolphins protest. Ji-chan grew to become Dolphin Namchun’s “dad” as a result of nobody would have protected Namchun if he didn’t. Apparently, he labored part-time on the aquarium that housed a pregnant Namchun again then, and he seen that Namchun tried to kill herself as a result of she’d relatively die together with her child than reside in captivity. Ji-chan spearheaded Namchun’s launch again into the ocean, and Hae-dal can relate with the protecting sentiment as a result of her dad and mom needed to lift Ha-yul after her husband died.
Hae-dal refused to offer Ha-yul up as a result of nobody on this world can shield her daughter like she will. And nonetheless within the protecting spirit, she learns that Ha-yul hid Mi-ja’s diving go well with as a result of she was afraid that nobody would shield her mother if one thing occurred to her grandmother. “I’m nonetheless a child so I can’t shield you,” Ha-yul cries. However her mother tells to not fear about such issues. “Even when there’s nobody to guard me, I’m stronger than anybody else,” Hae-dal assures her daughter.
Again in Seoul, Sam-dal’s backstabbing assistant, Eun-joo, is dropping jobs as a consequence of her horrible images and other people expertise. Eun-joo will get a gig in Jeju, and since she’s too dumb to give you her personal idea, she involves Samdal-ri for a shoot as a result of Sam-dal as soon as boasted about her picturesque city. It’s the obsession for me. However earlier than then, Eun-joo launched a video of her mother accosting and hitting Sam-dal, to reignite the dying flames of Sam-dal’s abuse of energy scandal.
On watching the video, the neighborhood is upset with Sam-dal’s ill-treatment, and so they band collectively in opposition to Eun-joo when she exhibits up. Sam-dal’s people are extra upset that she saved the abuse all to herself, and Mi-ja repays the favor by dumping a bucket of vinegar on Eun-joo. Go mother! Mi-ja takes Sam-dal by the hand and pulls her away to emphasise that her daughter additionally has a mom, and it felt good to see Eun-joo humiliated on Sam-dal’s turf. However this isn’t sufficient for me. I have to see Eun-joo crumble.
For Sam-dal, it is sufficient to know that she has individuals on her facet, and he or she replies within the unfavourable when Yong-pil asks if she would return to the business. Sam-dal decides to let go of her outdated aim to “discover Jo Sam-dal,” for a brand new aim of attaining issues as Jo Sam-dal. Yong-pil then reveals his treasured pink wool from the headscarf she crocheted for him, and Sam-dal is touched to see that he saved the souvenir for this lengthy.
The week ends with Sang-tae listening to that his son was disciplined for leaving work with out authorization throughout Mi-ja’s accident, and that he’s serving to Sam-dal out with the images gig. Sang-tae storms to the hideout to confront Sam-dal, and Yong-pil unwittingly learns that his dad was the basis explanation for The Breakup. Oops! Extra drama from daddy dearest.
If Sang-tae thinks that Sam-dal received between him and his son, I’ll want him to suppose once more as a result of his actions are the only explanation for any rift between him and Yong-pil. Yong-pil’s mother selected to accompany Mi-ja to the ocean, and I’m virtually positive she wouldn’t approve of her husband’s blame recreation. Positive, he’s human and he’s allowed to really feel damage, however no matter his in poor health emotions in the direction of Mi-ja are, he shouldn’t carry the youngsters into it. Simply as his son is necessary to him, Sang-tae wants to just accept that Sam-dal is equally necessary to Yong-pil, and he or she shouldn’t be made to really feel responsible for loving him.
