Sweet Stranger and Me Eps 15 and 16 Recap

I took a break from this drama because I started to get annoyed. After all that Nan Gil went through to break free from his sadistic, amoral 'father,' now he had to deal with Na Ri's sleazy dad. Between this and the ending of 'She Was Pretty,' I had to take a break from k-dramas for a while.

Episode 15


Episode 15 is primarily Nan Gil preparing to leave. Like we believe that that's going to happen.

Na Ri's dad (NRD) proves to be just as much of a sleaze as we thought he was. He:
  • Flat out lies when Na Ri asks about the trip they took
  • Tries to muscle his way into taking over the dumpling shop and the special piece of land
  • Acts like the current success of the dumpling shop was because of him. Even though he never actually made any dumplings but bought them from the local grocery store
  • Guilt-trips Nan Gil all over the place about his sight (I'm left wondering if it's partly an act to freeload like so much of th rest of his life.)
  • Guilt trips other people about his sight (again, that freeloader!)
  • Sends his girlfriend back to Seoul once she's served his purpose
  • Has the audacity to complain about Na Ri just living in the house and *not* working at the dumpling shop
  • Tries to imply that Nan Gil is stealing Na Ri's money
  • Meets and schemes with Deok Bong's dad (DBD) to steal the land and sell it to DBD
  • Only turns himself in for faking his own death so that he can steal the land, not because he wants to be a dad to Na Ri
  • Tries to push Na Ri at Deok Bong

Deok Bong is as cool as ever. He:
