Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 14 Recap

The episode starts with Bok Nyeo busting That Woman, with the video of that fateful meeting between That Woman and Sun Young. That Woman pleading with Bok Nyeo and Bok Nyeo giving the metaphorical hand. I still can’t believe she thought that the pleading would make Bok Nyeo take pity. You caused a woman to kill herself and Bok Nyeo’s supposed to feel sorry for you? In what universe? Then That Woman says that she did it all because she was in love. This gets Bok Nyeo to stop and turn around. She looks as livid as Bok Nyeo would get, like she wants to go over and punch That Woman’s teeth in. *I* want to punch That Woman's teeth in. Bok Nyeo declares that those are the words that she hate the most: “Because I was in love...” Is That Woman's love really that amazing… Enough to make someone want to kill herself? Is that love so amazing? Is it more precious than a person's life?

Then That Woman has the gall to plead that she’s a victim, too. Really? You see yourself as a victim? It’s Sun Young’s fault that now you feel guilty because she felt devastated by what you did. Yeah, it’s her fault that you wanted to stake your claim on another woman’s husband, so you totally destroyed her life and made her feel like nothing. That’s her fault. That Woman whines that she never thought Sun Young would do that! How can a mother do that? Then That Woman yells at Bok Nyeo, that she should answer and explain for Sun Young. Bok Nyeo cuts straight to it: Before Sun Young became a mother, she was a woman. And you treated her like trash and made her feel like nothing and you stole her husband. None of this gets through to That Woman or convicts her that she is a horrible person. Bok Nyeo goes to leave again and That Woman runs and stops her. She begs some more, saying that she’ll do anything Bok Nyeo want. Bok Nyeo replies that she don't have many things that she wants. And leaves her in the dust. I do not feel sorry for That Woman at all.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 13 Recap

Man, since I’ve been sick, I’ve gotten behind, but I just realized that I’ve really missed this show… 

The episode starts with EMIL screaming at Bok Nyeo. Hye Gyul’s crying loudly. The other kids are shocked and upset and Sang Chul is fighting his urge to DO something. Then we’re inside the house with Bok Nyeo trying to say goodbye. Sang Chul looks more upset this time that Bok Nyeo is leaving, almost like it’s going to rip his guts out. I could be reading into it, but that’s what it looked like to me. When Han Gyul and the other kids arrive, Sang Chul almost looks annoyed that they’re interrupting him trying to convince Bok Nyeo to stay. Han Gyul and the other kids ask Bok Nyeo to stay and be their mother. And we get the answer…

Not yet, I guess. Sang Chul practically scolds them for asking her so suddenly, but Han Gyul wants to know why they can't do anything for the ones they cherish. Because she's just the housekeeper, they can only watch when something happens to Bok Nyeo-nim. And they have a real problem with that. Your dad does too, he’s just in denial. Se Gyul asks Bok Nyeo if she doesn’t want to be their mom. They want to take care of her the way that she takes care of them. Doo Gyul adds – and gets me teary eyed – that their mom would be at peace as well, if Bok Nyeo-nim was their mom. Sang Chul’s face looks like he’s a little choked up.

And Bok Nyeo’s answer is…. No. She’s sorry, but she can't be their mom. She can't be anyone's mom. Se Gyul then changes their request, saying that they won't ask her to be their mom right away, if she just promises to forget what EMIL said about following those who died. Sang Chul finally pipes up and apologizes, explaining that the kids are worried about what just happened, what might happen to her. Hye Gyul gives Bok Nyeo a order to forget about it. Bok Nyeo doesn’t agree, but says she understands. Doo Gyul, with a little desperation in his voice, says that she promised them. Bok Nyeo leaves.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 12 Recap

Well, I think my cold has finally decided to leave me alone. Not that I’m now three weeks behind in my recapping. But here we go (and I’ll be able to catch up next week).

Our episode starts with Sang Chul and Bok Nyeo down by the riverside. Sang Chul acknowledges the hurt of the past, but asks her if they shouldn’t continue to live because of them. He tells her that *he* and the children are waiting. Well, maybe I put the emphasis there, but I think it’s significant that he singled himself out. Sang Chul asks her to return to them, which pulls her attention away from the flowing river to look at him.

And we’re back at Ji Hoon’s house. He’s still looking out the window with that crooked cop, Tae Shik, standing behind him. Maybe that’s why the mother-in-law has been so spiteful to Bok Nyeo for so long, because Tae Shik fed the poison, working for Ji Hoon. Tae Shik asks what Ji Hoon plans to do, since he’s killed Seo Ji Hoon. Ji Hoon’s got the crazy eyes going as he declares that it’s time to save Bok Nyeo.

Sang Chul returns home. The kids are waiting for him and want to know what happened. What did the police say? He tells them that Do Hyung isn’t Ji Hoon. All the kids sigh with disappointment, because that means that Bok Nyeo still isn’t coming back yet. Hye Gyul asks if Sang Chul told Bok Nyeo that she was waiting for her. Sang Chul tells her that they need to be patient, because Bok Nyeo needs some time. None of the kids like that answer, especially Hye Gyul.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 11 Recap

It’s almost been a week since this episode was on and I am just now getting to it. Thank you, cold, that’s plagued me for two weeks now. My apologies if you've been waiting for my recap. I've been as anxious as you have to see what will happen.

The episode begins with a Do Hyung borrowing this strange woman. Bok Nyeo’s confirmation that she’ll kill him if he is Ji Hoon, and then his confirmation that he *is* Ji Hoon. It doesn’t look like there’s any reaction from Bok Nyeo, but I can see her seething with rage that he’s still alive and living well. Ji Hoon asks what she’s going to do now. She asks him again, if he’s really Seo Ji Hoon. He replies that he’s saying so… so what’s she going to do? It’s almost like he’s laughing, gloating. Bok Nyeo’s eyes are starting to get a little shiny.

Bok Nyeo stands and steps closer to Ji Hoon. The smile leaves. It’s then that the huge knife she’s been holding comes into view and you can almost see the ‘oh, crap,’ look on his face. But he’s really good at playing poker, so he keeps his face blank. She’s practically seething as she tells him that she’s so grateful that he *is* Seo Ji Hoon. His lower lip quivers slightly. She grabs his collar and swings.

We switch to the kids, who are out wandering the streets, calling Bok Nyeo’s name.

Then we’re at Happy Company, and Director Hong straightening her desk. Someone enters and she says that office hours are over. No reply but she’s shocked when she sees who it is.

The Heirs Episode 4 Recap

The episode begins where we left off: Eun Sang walking in on Rachel hugging Tan at the airport. Her hurt face as she sees him. Tan suffering through the hug. Rachel aghast that that girl has shown up again. Tan yells for Eun Sang to stop and she turns around and looks at the two of them. Tan quickly says good bye to Rachel and rushes over to talk to Eun Sang, who is really uncomfortable with the whole thing and doesn’t want to meet Tan’s eyes.

Immediately Tan wants to know why Eun Sang didn't him; didn't her friend tell her? When he finds out she heard, he starts to yell at her about how she should have called! He wants to know if she’s going back to Korea now. Instead of answering that question, Eun Sang looks at him and asks him what he wanted to tell her. Sighing in frustration, Tan pulls his phone from his pocket and hold it out to her, telling her to give him her phone number. She looks at the phone, and you can almost hear the thoughts running through her mind as she looks at it, and then his fiancée. Seeing Rachel’s upset face, instead, Eun Sang says, “’Thank you.’ I said my thanks. ‘Bye.’ I also said my farewells. I did everything. So, don't leave your fiancée alone just to ask something like that.” And then she just walks away, past Rachel, as Tan stands there holding out the phone. He can’t believe she did that. And I can’t help but think he’s thinking how another person he cares about doesn’t seem to have a problem walking out of his life and back to Korea. Maybe that means you need to go back to Korea. Even if it would mean that I wouldn’t get any more scenes with Surfer Dude. My heart will go on.

Rachel looks at Tan with disbelief at what he’s done. Now, if she wasn’t selfish and self-centered, since they’ve never said they were in love with each other, and because she sees how much he cares about her, what she should do is, while they are on the plane, get her phone number for Tan. But Rachel is selfish and self-centered, so she does something else.
