I Need Romance 3 Episode 3 Recap

The episode starts with a recap of last week’s events, leading up to Joo Yun smashing Wan’s driver side mirror, him tackling her to stop her from destroying the other one, Joo Yun hurting her hand, Wan taking her to the pharmacy and then taking care of her wound, him telling her that she needs to take him to the hotel, Maison de Flore, her smiling goofily and then asking him if he’s trying to seduce her and him smiling back and asking, “If I am… would you fall for me?” And my answer? Sure I would.

And so the recap’s over and we get a little rewind, with Wan telling Joo Yun: You have a place to go with me. Joo Yun looks at him and nervously asks, “Where?” Wan responds with his hotel. Joo Yun asks him if he’s asking her to go to a hotel. As he thinks, “I can't handle this anymore. Now she's reading between the lines,” a slight smile escapes his lips but he manages to keep a straight face. Then, he asks, with a little kid voice, “Why? You don't want to?” Joo Yun laughs and so do I because it’s the perfect way to point out how full of herself she’s acting. After she chuckles for a moment, then she straightens her face and asks him if he’s hitting on her. When replies by asking if she would fall for it, there’s a slight smile on his face.

During the conversation, Wan has been holding Joo Yun by the arms. She pushes his hands off, trying to be dignified as she asks him if he’s perhaps interested in her. Without changing his expression, he asks what she’d do if he was. She nonchalantly tries to regally climb into the car. Wan suppresses a large laugh at how she’s acting. Once inside the car, she immediately flips down the visor to examine her appearance and to make herself look better (since her hair was crazy from the fight she got into with Se Ryung). She quickly flips it back up when Wan opens up the door and slides in. He pretends to not know what she’s doing. This whole part makes me love both of them more.

I Need Romance 3 Episode 2 Recap

The episode starts with Wan modeling. And the man can model. Then he’s being interviewed, while wearing something that reminds me of Liberace. The woman reporter asks him when he started composing. Answer: at 15. After some rambunctious years after immigrating to the U.S., he realized the world of music. He would be so engrossed in composing that he’d find that the early morning had already arrived, and… his own work impressed him (he admired his songs). They both laugh at that statement. He adds that he began looking for singers to sing them and that’s how he ended as a music producer. The reporter remarks about how even though he lived in the U.S for a long time, his songs have a Korean feeling in them. He replies that the first instrument he learned how to play was the piano. He learned not from a technician but from someone who taught him how to express emotions with music. His success is all thanks to that person. The reporter asks if that person was a woman. He smiles almost sheepishly as he admits that it was. Reporter asks if he’s going to meet her, since he’s back after 17 years. He replies, “probably.” He thinks he’ll meet her very soon. Especially since her mother is telling her to house you.

Then there’s the however… and we see that the interview took place before the conversation on the beach, where Joo Yun tells Wan that the thought of their meeting disgusts her and that she hopes that they won't have any other reason to talk. A shot of Wan after he told Shing Shing that she’s cold because she’s not loved and she needs to break up with her boyfriend as his voice over declares that she's not the Shing Shing that he knows. And that statement is really telling, his utter faith in who she is, despite what she’s become. As Wan looks at the falling snow, the snow that lovers are supposed to meet together when it’s falling, he declares that this Shing Shing was unfamiliar and cold.

I Need Romance 3 Episode 1 Recap

I have to say, I’ve watched the first two episodes back-to-back and I’m captivated. Addicted. I haven’t seen the first two series, but this one has me. Just because I like the heroine in spite of the hard exterior that she wears and I think it’s partially because of how the hero feels about her. But before I go on, let’s get to the recap.

Our hero, Joo Wan (Sung Joon), begins the story with a voice over saying that the day he was born was the day the first snow of the year fell. Why this is important becomes clear later, as the characters describe the first snow as a time that you’re supposed to be with the one you love. The 7-year-old Shing Shing leaves her house to go to the hospital. Wan describes her walk as “making her own footprints in the snow that no one had stepped on” – something that I think works well to describe how we see the heroine living her own life. She blazes a new path for herself and walks alone, whether she wants to be or not. When Shing Shing sees Wan for the first time, she frowns and moans, “How is he going to live if he’s this ugly?” Heh. Wan tells us that when he was a newborn, Shing Shing said he looked like a sweet potato. And thus we got one of the best nicknames ever: Sweet Potato, what our heroine calls Wan.

Wan says that he grew up in Shing Shing's house and that when he was one, Shing Shing said that he looked like a cooked sweet potato, that he got *uglier,* which is why Shing Shing said that she often covered my face. We see the 8-year-old interacting with little Sweet Potato, trying to cover up his head with a hat and him pulling it off and glaring at her. Later, she’s succeeded, to where most of his face is not visible as he sleeps with his head in her lap. She’s wearing a very happy smile as she looks at him.
