This week’s episodes 3-4 are so treasured, we discover out a bit bit extra on their again story and it was candy, poignant and likewise heart-breaking on the identical time. The story isn’t new new, to be trustworthy, a chaebol and an unusual love curiosity falling in love, married and going by a tough patch, this sort of setup is frequent BUT the execution and the disclosing of the again story at a delicate present timing and that someway modifications your perspective and will increase your curiosity as to why/how did uri couple find yourself the best way they’re now – this manner of showing makes the story-telling way more intriguing, I say the hook is actual, at the very least for me.

And if I wasn’t an enormous fan throughout his The Moon Embracing the Solar and My Love from the Star period – contemplate me one now, Kim Soo-Hyun Ssi has grown out of his boyish charms from then Do Min-Joon (that mushroom coiffure) to a mature and manly Baek HyunWoo now.
Not doing the complete recap for Ep 3-4 (actually time-consuming) but when doable, I want to spotlight a couple of scenes that basically stood out to me.
EP 3
We begin with HaeIn visiting Yongdu-ri 4 years in the past and HyunWoo was proudly exhibiting her the orchard and the shop that his household owns. At his mom’s store, HyunWoo supplied HaeIn an ice pop of strawberry flavour.
And HaeIn has by no means had ice pop earlier than. HyunWoo checked out her unbelievably and requested if her mom actually didn’t purchase an ice pop even when she was little – HaeIn nodded. HyunWoo thinks that HaeIn comes from a poor household, judging from her t-shirts with holes (however these are classic, she mentioned), her present outfit that his grandmother would put on (however it’s Chanel!, I mentioned.)
HyunWoo goes on to begin his low-key brag once more, this time it’s about his financial savings each month, 2 million received. (Kim SooHyun nailed this performing so to the purpose – a lot particulars in his facial features and physique language.)
His intention of telling HaeIn is just not making an attempt to create the gap between them neither is he bragging, he’s making an attempt to say that it’s alright, even when your loved ones has money owed, it’s alright, even when your loved ones has one thing greater than money owed, it’s alright. As a result of, I shall be by your aspect. HaeIn requested for affirmation and HyunWoo re-iterated that sure he shall be together with her.
The above is a reminiscence of HaeIn’s – she immediately considered this on the brink of hazard. And if she had been to die at this second, are you the particular person I’ll bear in mind – she requested herself.
We already know that HyunWoo saved her from the wild boar.
Whereas strolling again to the searching floor home, HaeIn sprained her ankle and HyunWoo princess-carried her. He requested if he’s being dramatic once more. However she is like no, I’m injured, so that is acceptable, not exaggerating in any respect. HyunWoo smiled to himself.
Again on the home, Soo Cheol ran to Mom Hong to announce that HaeIn is injured, and that is once we know that uri couple took Grandfather Hong’s route and the good shaman really had the foresight and known as him and warned him thus he returned early from the hunt. The mistress is definitely behaving suspicious now – so did they need to hurt the grandpa or HaeIn? Was the route switched on goal?
We even have a scene of HaeIn revealing HyunWoo being within the marines and is well-known for his taking pictures. Our Aunt is envying HaeIn, saying how fortunate she is, and marvelling at his muscular arms. LOL.
HyunWoo is on the market, checking the route and discovering a gap within the fence and bait close to the outlet to lure the boar into the sanctuary. And he really known as his buddy YangKi to speak about it. (I hope YangKi is just not an imaginary buddy.)
On the dinner desk, everybody is worried over the wild boar getting in, so Grandfather Hong needs to test the cctv footage himself. After which he requested everybody to tuck in, claiming that he caught the pheasant.
However his daughter (our Aunt) really known as out his lie! She mentioned we bought it at a close-by farm. LOL – I’m starting to love her, actual and never pretentious.
In the course of the dinner, the live-in housekeeper of some types got here by along with his canine and praised his canine for being loyal, saving his son. Grandfather Hong actually preferred the canine and requested to purchase it however the housekeeper refused, saying that the canine is virtually household. And after dinner, EunSang went to the housekeeper and time-pressure him to promote the canine and the housekeeper agreed on an impulse due to the time restrict. (Eerie vibes.)
In the meantime, HyunWoo supplied to offer recommendation concerning the matter Soo Cheol requested beforehand and mentioned he has all evening. Soo Cheol mentioned he doesn’t, his spouse is ready for him. After which he appeared by HyunWoo, asking if he’s afraid of sleeping in the identical room/mattress along with his sister. HyunWoo laughed a horrible giggle and mentioned no in fact not, why would I be afraid of my spouse. LOL. After which HyunWoo slowly made his solution to his bed room, Soo Cheol needed to remind him the place the room is.
HyunWoo tiptoed into the bed room fastidiously, not eager to wake HaeIn up however she is in truth awake and ready for him. She requested what took him so lengthy and he gave the excuse that he was speaking to Soo Cheol. HaeIn needed to tick Soo Cheol off for pestering HyunWoo and he tried to calm her down, calling her “Honey, HaeIn ah, it’s best to management your mood.”
Subsequent we all know, HaeIn immediately requested HyunWoo to assist her unbutton her prime as a result of she sprained her fingers.
HyunWoo: me? unbutton you?
HaeIn: Sure. Again right here.
HyunWoo froze and HaeIn gave him a stare – form of telling him to rush up. So he did.
HyunWoo unbuttoned two of them. After which HaeIn realised how intimate it’s, and mentioned it’s sufficient she will do the remainder.
HyunWoo nonetheless recovering from the intimacy, and so is HaeIn, I guess. To diffuse the state of affairs, HaeIn requested: Aren’t you undressing?
Hyunwoo: Do I’ve to undress?
HaeIn: Aren’t you showering?
HyunWoo: Do I’ve to bathe?
(I assume it’s not a query, he should bathe.) *Cues bathe scene.*
Outdoors, HaeIn couldn’t assist pondering again the afternoon occasions the place her heroic husband saved her, carried her and glorifying her reminiscences to a slow-mo impact. She informed herself that he’s not that good-looking and tried to knock out of it. However she isn’t very profitable when he got here out of bathe. This time, it’s her flip to froze.
She tried to not look till he walked to the aspect to get the bathrobe, back-facing her, then she sneaked a side-ways look. She tried to “see” as a lot as she will, earlier than he placed on the bathrobe. After which she walked rapidly into the toilet when he caught her wanting.
Within the lavatory, HaeIn puzzled what occurred to his physique, does he suppose he’s attractive? Exasperating that it’s a stimulating evening.
After each are finished showering, in mattress of their pyjamas, uri couple couldn’t go to sleep. HaeIn requested HyunWoo if he’s sleeping but, he mentioned no. After which he requested if the mattress is queen-sized because it feels small. But it surely’s not, it’s king-sized and HaeIn revealed that they’d slept on a single mattress earlier than. When, requested HyunWoo.
A flashback to HaeIn’s first time to Yongdu-ri.
Seems prefer it’s HaeIn’s first time to HyunWoo’s bed room in Yongdu-ri, she’s curiously the whole lot. HyunWoo wanting nervous, requested HaeIn to sleep right here tonight, it’s too late. But it surely’s solely 9pm. Yeah that’s late and harmful to drive at evening. HaeIn agreed. HyunWoo then unwillingly make a transfer out of the room, saying that he shall be sleeping within the room throughout, and shut the door behind him.
He went exterior the home, hesitatingly knocked on the small window of his room, and when she opened the window, he invited HaeIn to have a look at the moon collectively – it’s stunning. HaeIn requested him to come back in to have a look at the moon collectively. HyunWoo is actually over the moon and ran in.
They appeared on the moon collectively.
After which they spent their first evening collectively, on HyunWoo’s small mattress and cuddling to sleep collectively. They had been in love. (So what occurred after they bought married?)
Again to current, HaeIn requested HyunWoo if he needs to cuddle to sleep if the mattress is simply too small. HyunWoo took again his phrases and mentioned the mattress is just not too small now, AND then HaeIn supplied to cuddle collectively even when the mattress is just not small.
HyunWoo rotated and appeared shocked. HaeIn had additionally rotated however she mentioned she is joking, don’t be scared. (A quite common excuse on this drama, simply joking.)
The subsequent morning, EunSang is up and out along with his gun, and the housekeeper couple got here by to need their canine again. EunSang mentioned he’s already present it away however the housekeeper insisted to return the test and needs the canine. EunSang mentioned okay after which need to shoot the canine useless. HyunWoo occurred to stroll by and stopped EunSang. EunSang mentioned he’s joking. HyunWoo then declared that he’s a witness that the housekeeper has returned the cash so he can take the canine. EunSang is irritated. He requested why can’t he kill the canine. And if he can kill when the canine is a stray or deserted.
The housekeeper couple, again at their yard, the previous man recalled to his spouse about an orphaned boy a few years again who mentioned virtually the identical factor as EunSang, giving him the chills. (Does this imply EunSang grew up in an orphanage close by the searching floor?)
From the cctv footage, seems like Grandfather Hong came upon that the wrongdoer with the wild boar accident is perhaps his eldest son.
They’re all again from the searching. HaeIn bought a name from EunSang about her potential meet-up with the investor. She is elated with that and but pondering what a pity she goes to die quickly, then she goes round the home, exclaiming she hasn’t worn her restricted editions, hasn’t go to the islands she purchased, hasn’t out-lived the artists whose artwork items she purchased, and so on. And the final of all of it, HyunWoo could be her greatest pity/waste. (Is that this a method of claiming how a lot she loves him?)
The subsequent morning, HaeIn is immediately discovering her husband very enticing. She will’t take her eyes off him and even requested her secretary if any lady whose coronary heart would beat for his or her husbands even after being married for greater than three years. Secretary Na was like no, that lady should be sick. HaeIn claims that it’s a buddy of hers, and her buddy generally suppose that her husband has broad shoulders, needs to be embraced by it and likewise strolling round like an attractive dynamite. LOL. Secretary Na requested her buddy to please go to the physician and get a mind CT scan, she should be very unwell.
We switched to Father Hong and HyunWoo making a go to to elder brother Hong who hasn’t left the nation after Grandmother Hong’ anniversary. The go to was to test if he certainly was the one who needed to get Grandfather Hong injured/killed. After all, the elder brother denied. He mentioned he needed to go to father to speak however bought rejected by the mistress. Hmm, suspicious, everyone seems to be.
Subsequent, now we have the butler and EunSang meet up. Now that is not beneath suspicion, they’re in cahoots to damage the Hong Household. So what do they need? It’s not clear. The butler appeared to need to do away with HyunWoo, not HaeIn as a result of she nonetheless needs EunSang and HaeIn collectively? However EunSang appeared to have one thing greater up his sleeve. (Is the mistress a part of all this? If she is, then it’s a protracted con, she has been with Grandfather Hong for some time already.)
Again in Yongdu-ri, HyunWoo’s brother and sister wanted cash so each of them determined to go discover HaeIn and requested her to not divorce HyunWoo. They bought to the Queens division retailer and fortunate for them, HaeIn gave them a couple of minutes of her time. And even luckier for HyunWoo, his siblings didn’t get to the principle level however his sister bought HaeIn’s cell quantity and might message her now.
HaeIn needed to run to satisfy the investor, Mr. Hermann. However when she arrived, it was solely EunSang, the investor had a household matter and couldn’t make it.
Again within the workplace, HyunWoo got here again to work and his colleague/subordinate spilled two items of necessary beans to him: 1. his spouse is having a dinner with CEO Yoon (EunSang) and shall be house late so he can go house early and needn’t work late (wae, even the workplace individuals know, that’s unhealthy) and a couple of. his siblings got here by for a go to. (Speaking about grapevine, that’s quick and correct.)
HyunWoo known as his sister and he was too late, his sister has already despatched the textual content to HaeIn telling her to not divorce HyunWoo. Oh nooooo!
Now HyunWoo tried calling HaeIn however EunSang had switched off her telephone with out her information, thus she doesn’t know HyunWoo is searching for her. EunSang used the chance to ask HaeIn about HyunWoo and likewise casting some doubts in her about him however HaeIn is bound that HyunWoo is an effective particular person and began rambling. EunSang picked up that cue and mentioned that she is rambling as a result of she is just not assured. (Good one!)
HyunWoo rushed house however HaeIn is just not house but so he went to the driveway, pacing there and ready. Lastly, a automobile got here again and it’s EunSang sending HaeIn house. HaeIn is drunk. HyunWoo is visibly upset that his spouse drank as a result of though she doesn’t drink, she will maintain her alcohol. On prime of that, EunSang is being annoying – the best way he mentioned that it’s simply him and her consuming with out Mr. Hermann, and likewise how “effectively” he is aware of HaeIn, that she likes to sleep after consuming and for hangover within the tomorrow morning, a glass of orange juice would do the trick. HyunWoo instructed the driving force to ship EunSang to his doorstep as a result of he’s additionally clearly drunk.
Strolling again to the home, HyunWoo began to search for HaeIn’s telephone – he needed to erase his sister’s message. But it surely’s not in her bag, she mentioned it is perhaps within the automobile. HyunWoo tried calling the driving force however then HaeIn realised that the telephone is in her pocket.
HaeIn tried turning on the telephone and HyunWoo, out of anxiousness, rushed to her and held each her wrists, stopping her from wanting on the telephone and within the tussle, the telephone was dropped.
With such shut proximity, the considered why she didn’t exude confidence got here up and he or she is puzzled, and possibly to show a degree, and likewise to strive new issues, she began to place her hand round HyunWoo’s neck.
And pulling him in for a kiss. After all, he’s greatly surprised. (So are we!)
Epilogue – three years in the past in Germany, uri couple of their honeymoon, visiting a fort, and speaking concerning the Completely happy Prince.
(Omo – is that this a touch about HyunWoo’s ending?)
EP 4 (not a lot time for this ep)
From the place we left off, we see that HyunWoo did reciprocate the kiss, however he solely did so after seeing HaeIn’s telephone died of battery.
Subsequent, HyunWoo has to discover a solution to delete the message from his sister. And that is once we came upon that uri couple virtually had a child once they first bought married. This was due to HaeIn’s telephone passcode – 1031, the anticipated date of the kid’s arrival. OMG. What a reveal. (One other ingenious means of showing a again story.)
And the room that HyunWoo is sleeping in – was once the nursery room. *Heartache* (Is that why the couple is presently sleeping individually?)
The subsequent day, HyunWoo is immediately discovering HaeIn fairly. (It is a mirror of HaeIn’s actions in ep 3.)
No matter HaeIn is doing, he’s simply admiring her magnificence. However he stops himself from doing it, pondering that he should be loopy.
HyunWoo has a meal along with his buddy YangKi, and sharing the day’s occasions. YangKi then quoted Hyun Bin and Son YeJin falling in love for actual once they had been filming Crash Touchdown and to him, that is what is going on to HyunWoo.
As a result of HyunWoo additionally purchased a pair of sneakers for HaeIn, seeing that she virtually tripped. And he insists that HaeIn can’t die when she hasn’t modified her will but.
Kim Soo-Hyun did a parody of Bae Suzy’s well-known buck-tooth smile when presenting the pair of sneakers to HaeIn.
Surprisingly, HaeIn wore the pair of sneakers and that made HyunWoo very blissful. However he additionally noticed Yoon EunSang touching HaeIn’s hair when EunSang came over on the retailer and that made him not blissful.
The subsequent day, Yoon EunSang really got here to the home for a morning assembly and that sparked HyunWoo’s jealousy flames and he needed to query HaeIn concerning the hair-touching incident within the kitchen.
HyunWoo informed HaeIn that she ought to be honest to all guys, if she had been indignant with him for touching her hair, she ought to be indignant with EunSang and likewise all different guys, apart from the (male) hairdresser.
HaeIn form of ignored him, however strolling away smiling.
HyunWoo’s sister despatched a “assist” message to HaeIn, saying that her father-in-law goes to lose his votes for the village mayor, so she actually got here by the village to assist and organised a lavish buffet to assist her father-in-law win the votes, together with extravagant items.
HaeIn was at HyunWoo’s room, discovered an previous iPod – and testing the previous songs within the iPod (I believe that’s an iPod) and bonding with HyunWoo’s nephew.
Quickly, we discover that HaeIn had a reminiscence blockout and no person is aware of the place she went.
HyunWoo rode a bicycle, looking excessive and low for her, from day to nighttime.
When HyunWoo lastly discovered her, he angrily tossed the bicycle he was using and stormed angrily in direction of her.
And yelling at her like the place have you ever been?
HaeIn requested to be not handled like a affected person.
HyunWoo is sorry that he did and walked away. However then lights immediately lit up and HaeIn noticed how a lot perspiration there’s on HyunWoo and realised how fearful HyunWoo is, and so she opened up about her situation – she was in entrance of his home one second, and the following she was at one other place. She had one other reminiscence blackout and he or she may be very scared.
HyunWoo listening to all this, got here again and hugged her, with tears in his eyes.
Epilogue – it seems that our leads had already met one another in highschool, that’s how HyunWoo has the previous iPod.
(Nooooo – that is my least favorite drama trope, we don’t want them to be childhood acquaintances/buddies to be husband & spouse a few years later.)
