Sweet Stranger and Me Episode 13 Recap

Crowded street in Seoul. People are out in various dress. Some are completely bundled up. Some sport nothing by a light jacket – they must be tourists. Nan Gil is wearing only his black suit. He makes a call to Wan Shik and asks where Wan Shik is. Wan Shik says that he’s at Dada Finance. Nan Gil says that he’s going to the address Wan Shik told him about. Wan Shik asks if he’s going alone. Nan Gil tells Wan Shik that Director will be the most suspicious of Wan Shik once he’s done.

Wan Shik tells him to just do well. He’s hanging up. Wan Shik sighs and heads into Director’s office. Bunch of bruisers are there. Wan Shik tells them that Nan Gil is coming. Wow, I did not expect that double-cross. All the bruisers leave except for Bruiser.

Na Ri rides in the taxi. Does she really want to see her father? She arrives at the nursing home. Which looks like a hospital to me. She meets Seamy, who is so excited to see her (and a little emotional). Seamy says that she’s the one who called and tells Na Ri to hear about their relationship from Abeoji personally. Na Ri nods.

Na Ri comes face-to-face with Abeoji. And she's looking at a different picture this time. Oops. Seamy narrates that when Abeoji fell from the rooftop, he hurt his head and his memory isn’t that great. Abeoji walks by Na Ri, not recognizing her. Well, she needed a picture to remember what he looks like – and he looks pretty much the same – it’s only natural that he wouldn’t know what his grown-up daughter looks like. Seamy says that Abeoji hasn’t stepped foot out of the nursing home for five years and just worked as if he was dying. Am I supposed to feel sorry for him? I don’t.

Sweet Stranger and Me Episode 12 Recap

Episode starts with Nan Gil (and Yong Kyu) running to rescue Na Ri, him catching a taxi. Wan Shik closing in on Na Ri. Why is she just standing there? Bruiser notices that Wan Shik isn’t around. Bruiser 2 reports that he went to Hong Dumplings. Bruiser tells Nan Gil via Joon to go to Susaek. Taxi driver asks where Nan Gil wants to go… Joon asks if Nan Gil’s at the restaurant. He acts like Nan Gil is there, says that he’s scared – which he might be but I think it’s a bluff – and asks that Nan Gil come quickly. Nan Gil gets what he’s saying – go save Na Ri – and tells Joon to wait a little. So, Nan Gil heads home.

Duk Bong has stopped by the house. Inside, Na Ri asks where Nan Gil is. Wan Shik replies that Nan Gil wasn’t there when he arrived. She asks if Nan Gil knows that Wan Shik is there. Smoothly, Wan Shik asks if he really needs to give notice when he’s visiting a friend? He tells her not to be Nan Gil. She immediately replies that she’s there because it’s her house. Wan Shik’s phone starts ringing. It’s Nan Gil. He doesn’t take the call, which stresses Nan Gil out even more.

Wan Shik repeats that it’s dangerous for her to be near Go Nan Gil. He tells her to get herself together, settle her debts and leave peacefully. Na Ri’s phone rings. She immediately answers it and tells Nan Gil that it’s her. Trying to sound reassuring, Nan Gil says that he’s almost there. He asks that Na Ri give the phone to Wan Shik and get out. She agrees and holds the phone out to Wan Shik.

Outside, Duk Bong is trying to reach Na Ri but gets the busy message. He finally notices Wan Shik’s car.

Sweet Stranger and Me Episode 11 Recap

Instead of showing us Na Ri’s answer to the question ‘Do you think their marriage legitimate?’ the episode starts with Nan Gil and Na Ri returning from their getaway. Why the time jump then? I’m irritated. The smiles that they were wearing when they were away have left and been replaced by awkwardness. Because he can’t stand the silence, Nan Gil asks if he should show Na Ri the pictures he took when he gets on the bus. Na Ri didn’t see him take any pictures.

Nan Gil says that they’re proof of their time together: Quiet sea, waving sea, sunset sea. Trying to sound like she could care less: Na Ri replies that it’s fine. He can send them to her. Nan Gil smiles at a thought and says that there's a saying that a certain day is equal to your whole life. Yesterday was like that for him. He thanks her. Na Ri doesn’t smile.

She remarks on how much more at ease he seems since he thinks this is over. He thanked her, but she’ll say she did it as a dutiful daughter to a parent. This makes Nan Gil grin slightly. Na Ri asks if he could exchange yesterday for the whole life that he’s lived? Sounding a little indignant, almost Appa voice – he replies that, of course, he can’t. It was really hard to learn how to make dumplings and knead dough.

Na Ri notes that the bus is coming. Nan Gil says that there's something that he couldn't tell her because he was afraid it would ruin the mood. Na Ri replies that she knew because she saw him looking depressed all of a sudden. There’s a pause. Looking grim, Nan Gil says that he thinks he’s going to lie to her some time in the future. So she can't be with him. Aw, and this is why I love Nan Gil. He hates the idea of lying to her. Dong Jin didn’t, but he doesn’t want to betray her trust like that. He adds that he’s just going to protect her land and that's it. Cheerily, Na Ri tells him that she’ll see him in court.
