JY grabs Eul's hand and help her escape after the concert and they both go somewhere aimlessly. In the car, Eul asks JY, "Where are we going?" but with his nervous looks on the face, he only says, "I don't know. Don't ask to be let off. I don't plan on stopping."
JY steps on his pedal and they both go outside Seoul.
Ji Tae joins his father at the gym, explaining that he’s been out listening to a friend whine. He says that this “friend” and that friend’s younger brother both like the same girl, but the friend’s father has an ill-fated relationship with the girl’s family.
Sadly, he says that his friend is forced to give up on the girl. But his face hardens again when he continues that his friend’s brother ran away with the girl, and he ruefully agrees when Dad says it sounds like the plot of a drama. Ji Tae then proposes they skip the workout today, and asks Dad to buy him a drink instead.
JY and Eul ends up on the pier. Eul then suggests they should drive into the ocean, "Let's drown. I don't want to live, Let's die."
She calls Joon-young a coward for not doing it, so he guns the motor, and she quickly turns off the car. She tells him to die alone if he wants, and gets out to walk to the convenient store to buy bottles of soju.
Jik and Na Ri who read the news tries many times to call Eul. Na Ri asks where JY would bring Eul and says JY's fan will probably very mad and gonna kill Eul if they find out where Eul is. With Na Ri's warning, Jik then calls Haru to tell her not to touch Eul even by a finger, because he will kill her for doing so and tell Haru to hold JY's fanclub not to do anything with Eul because she is the president of the fanclub. Haru finds it very random and tells Jik that she will report it to her father, as her father is a famous prosecutor and Jik is threatening her right now.
Haru then calls her Dad but it's Ji Tae who answers the phone, saying Dad is at the toilet right now because he asks Dad to buy him drinks. Ji Tae then asks Haru what happened. Haru wants to tell him about JY's case but she remembers how angry Ji Tae gets before when Haru starts talking about JY's fanclub. Hesitately, she then hangs up the phone. Dad comes back with a very drunk look. Ji Tae then suggests them to just go back home.
Jik has been trying to contact Eul but Eul's phone is left in the car. After drinking a bottle of soju, Eul is a little bit drunk while JY is there standing still while watching Eul. Eul then starts to whine for the phone, looking very drunk and starts searching her phone on the soju bottle. JY then gives her his phone and Eul starts to press the number.
Her calls connects and it's Ji Tae who picks her call. It turns out to be a drunk-dial from her, "Do you know...how hard it was for me? Pretending not to like you....you don't know how hard that was."
She continues, "Why were you so nice to me? Why did you but me food and clothes when you didn't have money for yourself? Why did you smile at me, care if I have eaten or not and take me to the hospital? Why did you do all that? You rejected me twice. That was in public too, which was so embarrassing."
JY looks so depressed, seeing this drunk woman starts to whine on phone. Eul continues again while crying, "Why did you confuse me? Why?" and starts crying louder. "What makes you so special, Ahjussi? Tell me! You aren't as rich as Shin Joon Young. You are even older than him, too. Shin Joon Young has three cars and you have none. You don't have a house or a building. What gives you the right to reject me?"
JY who can't stand seeing her make a fool of herself then asks for his phone. But Eul continues with her drunk-dial, "Ahjussi, could you think about it one last time? I'm a catch if you think about it. I promise to be really good to you. Please take me back...."
"Will you date me, please, Ahjussi?" she starts crying louder again and JY takes the phone on her hands. Eul starts whining to JY to give her phone back but JY says it's his phone and he then throws his phone to the ocean angrily, saying Eul has made a fool of herself already.
And on his end, Ji-tae is shaking so hard he looks like he’ll fall apart. He looks down at his unconscious father, and grinds out, “It’s your fault. Because of what you did, I can’t be with Eul.”
Eul orders JY to go get the phone (she thinks it was hers), but JY snaps to get it herself. She starts to walk into the ocean, so JY tosses her over his shoulder to carry her back up the beach, both of them screaming in frustration.
JY drops Eul on the beach, but picks her right back up by the coat to ask, “Don’t you see me? Think of what I did for you! Don’t you see me?!” But Eul just whines for Ji Tae, so JY kicks her in the butt.
Eul wakes in the morning with a massive hangover, in an unfamiliar room and wearing what look like a country ajumma’s clothes. Sure enough, she’s been put up in a little inn near the beach, and the ajumma brings her some hangover soup and talks over how much she drank last night.
She tells Eul that she walked into the ocean then threw up on herself last night, and that her husband had a hell of a time helping her change. Husband? Eul is horrified at the idea that JY undressed her, but she doesn’t remember anything from the night before.
She gets her phone from the car and charges it in a store, and the news this morning says that she and JY eloped after the concert. She’s recognized, and she hilariously adopts the wrong dialect to claim that she grew up here.
She takes a bus home and calls Jik, who pretends he’s at school and has no idea what’s been happening.
He’s lying through his teeth, but he can’t tell his sister he didn’t sleep a wink all night or she’ll be even more upset. But he’s prepared to beat the crap out of JY when he sees him.
Eul wonders why Ji Tae didn’t try to call her even once, but a memory surfaces of the night before — JY piggybacking her while she moans over Ji Tae’s rejection. JY is whining too, “I’m Shin Joon-young, I deserve better than this!” And then she barfs on him.
Ji Tae is particularly grouchy during a business meeting, ignoring Eul’s calls but obviously shaken by them. He accuses the man making the presentation of playing while overworking his employees, handing over the project to another executive and ignoring yet another call from Eul.
GY calls Eul looking for Joon-young, since his phone is in the ocean, but she hasn’t seen him today either. She claims that he’s the one who dragged her away, calling him a sneaky jerk and she is the victim there, but another memory of the night before surfaces — this time JY is cleaning her face of vomit and asking the ajumma to change her clothes.
But he shot himself in the foot by claiming they were married, and the job falls to him. He looks supremely nervous, and it’s worsened by the fact that Eul is still whining about Ji Tae.
Over at Mom’s restaurant, her employees are taking advantage of the scandal to post more hateful comments online. Mom herself seems distracted and uninterested, but GY arrives to yell at them both and threaten to sue. Mom takes the responsibility and tells him to sue her, instead.
JY’s agent loses his temper and gets in a shouting match with Mom, who accuses him of being responsible for making JY an actor (calling him a ddandara, which is an insulting way of saying “entertainer”). The agent argues that he’s not a ddandara, he’s a Hallyu star, and any other mother would be thanking him right now. He grumbles that her bad personality explains why JY is the way he is.
Ajusshi comes flying in to defend Mom’s honor, but before anyone gets hurt Mom tells Ajusshi to let go of him. She yells at everyone to just leave JY alone, but GY is all We have to find him first!”
Mom goes outside for some fresh air and finally lets herself worry about JY. She wonders where he is, and who the girl is that he’s with. She gets a text from a friend that Choi Hyun-joon was at the concert, and she doesn’t know that from a nearby car, Choi’s wife is watching her.
In flashback we see Choi conducting a business meeting, which he cuts short when he sees a woman who looks like Joon-young’s mother. He calls her by Mom’s name, but the woman claims to be “Madam Song,” and gives him her business card to come see her at her new business in Cheongdamdong.
When Eul gets back to Seoul, Na Ri tells her about the rumors flying around, that JY only agreed to do the documentary because she’s blackmailing him. Eul thinks that’s nonsense, but her face is all over the internet regardless, and Na Ri helps her work on a disguise. GY calls Eul again, now accusing her of lying about not knowing where JY is. She yells (while Na Ri tries unsuccessfully to shuts her) that she doesn’t know, and to call the police if he’s that worried.
Haru hunts down Jik to ask how he knows Eul, and why he’s so determined to protect her. He skirts the question and refuses to tell Haru where Eul is, even when Haru whines that she’s worried Eul did something to JY. He picks up Haru and tosses her in the dumpster, telling her to leave her trashy thoughts in there.
Eul’s ridiculous disguise does more to draw attention than deflect it, and GY is still calling her. She recalls another memory, of getting up the previous night to throw up again, and seeing JY washing her filthy clothes outside in the cold. Awww.
She tells GY again that really and truly, she hasn’t seen JY since last night, but that his car was on the pier so she figures he’s driven himself home by now.
She sends GY the location where JY left his car. There are reporters swarming outside Na Ri’s place, forcing Eul to hide behind a car.
Ji Tae sneaks up on her and quietly leads her to their restaurant to feed her. He takes off her floppy hat and sunglasses and gives her his ball cap, and Eul calls him a coward for running away last night. Ji Tae meekly agrees that he’s a coward, and that he should be ashamed of himself. He admits that he’s as confused as she is, and wonders if he should have gotten her hangover soup. Eul asks how he knew she drank last night, and he says that she drunk-dialed him from JY’s phone.
He asks if JY was there, but Eul doesn’t remember calling him at all. She asks what she said, and Ji Tae nervously says he doesn’t remember, either. He steps outside to take a call from Jung Eun, and tells her he’s in a meeting. Someone told Jung Eun that they saw Ji Tae at JY’s concert, but he denies having the time for such things. Jung Eun says the friend must be mistaken, all the while looking at a photo that clearly shows Ji Tae holding Eul’s arm outside the theater.
Inside, Eul is berating herself, clearly remembering her whiny pleading call to Ji Tae last night. She also remembers waking in the night to find JY lying next to her, watching her sleep.
She’d turned over with her back to him, and JY had softly wondered, “What should I do? The weird girl who turned her back to me, won’t even cast me a glance. Instead she wants the guy who abandoned her.”
He’d muttered that he’s Shin Joon Young, and wondered if he should comfort her, or threaten to hit her. He doesn’t know she’s lying awake, listening to him ask if he should take her to a doctor, questioning if he was too late. “Should I give up and send you to that guy?”
Ji Tae goes back inside to find Eul gone and his hat on the table — she grabs a taxi and goes all the way back to where she last saw JY (and ouch, that cab fee). His car is still there on the pier, as is GY, who says that nobody in the area has seen JY.
Eul is genuinely concerned now, but GY says he hasn’t called the police because that would trigger a huge media storm. He turns on Eul, accusing her of killing JY for his watch, heh, and she just threatens to kill GY as well. He hits a little closer to home when he brings up JY’s public confession and Eul’s equally public rejection, saying that JY is nothing without his pride.
Eul heads back to the ajumma’s place where she spent the night, but the ajumma hasn’t seen him either. Eul goes into their room to look for any clues, and she sits in the dark, worried that she may have said something in her drunken state to cause JY to do something to himself.
Another memory surfaces, of Eul waking in the early hours to see JY sitting next to her. She imagines him there now, and sees what he must have been looking at — a picture of a nearby island. She asks the ajumma how to get there, and waits outside the ferry office, huddled under newspapers for warmth. She ends up asking a local fisherman for a ride, and by morning she’s running all over the island calling JY’s name. But he’s nowhere to be found, and she calls GY, who by now is crying with worry.
But at that exact moment Eul spots JY sitting on an overlook, fast asleep. She yells at him for sleeping when everyone is worried sick about him, complaining about everything she did to find him when he was fine all along. JY doesn’t say a word but stands to walk away, and Eul cuts him off, asking if he thinks this is a dream.
She says that she’s really here right now, but JY still just stares at her. Eul reaches out to pinch him and he stops her hand, and just says one word… “Go.” He’s serious, and he tells Eul again to get out of his sight. He walks past her, leaving her standing there, stunned.
Personal thought:
OMG this episode reveals so much from Eul's perspectives and the development of her mixed feelings and I am so happy that he genuinely cares for JY now. It's true that it's hard for her to know she has been rejected by Ji Tae whom she really likes right from the start. Even after having a big public confession from a to star like JY, she should be feeling the same.
No wonder that she has that drunk-dial and I'm really happy to see how truthful she is about her feeling for Ji Tae and yeah she has been rejected and now while everyone is worrying about JY, we can see how ignornce Eul is while parts by parts she remembers how nice JY is while taking care of her drunken state, which makes her feel so embarrassed towards JY.
With the confession of JY who tries to win her heart, or should he just left her be and sends her to Ji Tae, that makes Eul genuinely worries for JY and I am so happy that she finds JY sitting there and nothing happened to him. Sadly, JY is being serious I think as he wants to send her back to Ji Tae. He says to Eul to go away which left her stunned.
This episode is really good and I am sure this wins my heart for this drama. I wonder how Eul turns out to fall for JY in the end and how JY will genuinely tells her what he really feels. So much drama but they tell the stories in such a really nice way <3
Cheers
