Episode starts with Bok Nyeo slapping Aunt. Aunt getting mad. Sang Chul arriving. He asks what’s going on. Aunt screams at Bok Nyeo, asking why she’s doing this!!! I'm wondering that, too. Bok Nyeo tells Aunt to get angry just like now. Don't force herself to smile. Don't mind what others think and don't hide her upset feelings. Don't just play the good aunt, if she wants to really protect her nieces and nephews. Aunt lets go of Bok Nyeo’s jacket and asks if Bok Nyeo is trying to get her mad on purpose. Bok Nyeo asks if Aunt was going to forget her promise to worry about her nieces' and nephews' future. Doesn't her marriage hinder that promise? Aunt is stunned.
Bok Nyeo leaves the bridal store. Aunt is thinking. Sang Chul asks if she’s okay. Aunt replies that she thinks she knows why Bok Nyeo did that. Her love for the kids was foremost, but her methods were wrong. When the kids forgot Oma's birthday, she didn't reprimand them properly and just sent them off. After doing that, playing the role of an aunt, she just said bad things to. Bok Nyeo. Aunt declares that she going to start being a proper adult to the kids. She’ll scold them when they need scolding and praise them when they should be praised. She will really be her sister's replacement. Sang Chul’s happy that Aunt isn’t mad.
Gyul House. The kids are looking at Oma’s picture, telling her sorry for forgetting her birthday. Which is a perfectly normal thing for kids to do. At least in America. Unless an adult reminds them. They present Mom with birthday presents. They feel bad for how Aunt must have felt to. Bok Nyeo arrives and asks what they’re doing. Han Gyul explains about forgetting about Oma’s birthday. Bok Nyeo asks why they’re caring about their dead Mom's birthday? Do they even know *her* (Bok Nyeo’s) birthday? Bok Nyeo asks Se Gyul if he’s written that letter yet. Se Gyul says he couldn’t… but he couldn’t write it to Oma either. "Mom... Why did you abandon us and commit suicide?" He couldn't write it like that.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 19 Recap
The episode starts with Sang Chul’s nice speech: He tells her that he wondered whether it may not be love. But no matter how much he thinks about it, he doesn't think that it is. Neither of them is in a situation right now to love someone. He wonders why. But, I f it's not love or family, why would he worry about her? Why would his children look for her so desperately? He says that he’s realized that the reason why she became a housekeeper was so that she would live as someone else wanted, doing what they want instead of what she wants. He tells her she doesn’t need to return as their housekeeper if she’s like that. But, she MUST return to them. Out of her own volition. He asks her to please return to them. As the children's mother. As his wife.
Bok Nyeo looks at Sang Chul. Probably thinking that he’s crazy and doesn’t know what he’s asking for. But he does. He looks down and pulls out the marriage registration paperwork. He’s signed it and stamped it. She starts to answer, but he interrupts her, telling her to please forget what Old Bat said about not creating a new family. Blaming herself for her family's death is a cross she can choose to bear, but no one can force her to bear that burden. He starts to add something about Old Bat, but stops. He tells her that he won't listen to her refusal now. He tells her to please think this over carefully and if she can't come immediately, to take some time. Whether it's one year or several years, they'll wait. Aw. That makes me a little verklempt. Sang Chul says that they’ll keep her place open.
Bok Nyeo walks from their meeting. She thinks of awful Old Bat’s ‘request.’
Sang Chul’s told the kids about the marriage proposal. Se Gyul asks if Sang Chul likes Bok Nyeo now. Sang Chul pauses and replies that love can mean many things. He may not be in love, but he gets concerned and worries about Bok Nyeo now. He feels sad, hurt and pity for her, too.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 18 Recap
The episode starts with Ji Hoon discovering the camera, a horrified look on his face. Bok Nyeo arrives downstairs. Sang Chul sees the video she took and he knows she’s inside. Sang Chul immediately sends the video to Song Hwa. He tells her to hand the video over to the police immediately. Song Hwa asks if Bok Nyeo is okay, but he’s not sure. He’s going to go find out. Go Sang Chul! Save your woman.
After watching the video, Song Hwa approaches the detective that she had been talking to at the station. She says that she doesn't have to wait for Detective Lee Tae Sik. She asks that he be arrested immediately instead. Then she shows the guy the video. Cop looks like he’s shocked at what it shows.
Tae Shik is looking at the ladder to the second story. He gets a phone call. Busted! His life is over. And I think he’s looking for payback. Inside, Ji Hoon is clarifying Bok Nyeo’s feelings: It's not that she liked him, it’s so she could get the goods on him? She tells him that he’s correct. She played for it… the way to prove that he’s Seo Ji Hoon… the way to finish him off. Tae Shik hurries inside and tells Ji Hoon that there’s a big problem. Song Hwa has handed over the evidence and the police coming!
Tae Shik declares that this time, there is no way out other than for Ji Hoon to turn himself in. Given the look on jihoon’s face, I think the crazy is about to come out and say, ‘Oh, yeah? Watch me!’ He tells Tae Shik to take Bok Nyeo outside so he can think. As Tae Shik turns his back on him, Ji Hoon grabs an empty wine bottle and then smashes it over Tae Shik’s head. Tae Shik crumples to the floor. Is he dead or justs unconscious? Bok Nyeo turns around, startled. Ji Hoon’s look is murderous. Plus, he’s holding the neck of a broken wine bottle.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 17 Recap
The episode begins with an upset Hye Gyul crying, telling Bok Nyeo that she hates her! She runs to Auntie for comfort and a crying Bok Nyeo leaves the room. Ji Hoon burns his Polaroid picture of Eun Soo. Sang Chul follows Bok Nyeo outside, where she is crying. He asks her back if she’s really not going to tell him what's going on? Bok Nyeo doesn’t respond but goes back into the house.
Sang Chul is hailed by Mrs. Nosy. She asks if something is going on Bok Nyeo. She’s been behaving suspiciously recently. She mentions how her tiny nose couldn’t get bigger. Heh. I love that she’s acknowledging that she’s nosy. She mentions how Bok Nyeo has washed all of Hye Gyul's summer clothes and ironed them. Like she’s not planning on being around to do it.
Sang Chul leaves Mrs. Nosy and goes to his room. He calls Director Hong. Bok Nyeo takes one last look around the kids' rooms. Sang Chul learns that Bok Nyeo plans on quitting, although Director Hong thought she had already given notice. Director Hong says she thinks Ji Hoon asked Bok Nyeo to quit and tomorrow, the pair are going to her father’s gravesite in her hometown. Director Hong assures Sang Chul that Bok Nyeo has already completed the change-over with the new housekeeper. Sang Chul can’t believe it, that she even did a change-over.
Auntie is telling Hye Gyul to let go of her anger towards Bok Nyeo, Han Gyul tells her that Bok Nyeo-nim was doing it for her benefit. Doo Gyul offers to make her something yummy. She’s still upset. Bok Nyeo comes down the stairs. Her face clearly shows that she feels bad that Hye Gyul is hurting. Auntie asks if Bok Nyeo is leaving. She says that she will leave for now. Auntie and Han Gyul try to get Hye Gyul to say goodbye but Hye Gyul repeats that she hates Bok Nyeo. She stomps off to her room and shuts the door.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 16 Recap
The episode begins in the grocery store, with Bok Nyeo declaring that she doesn’t want to lose Ji Hoon. A tear runs down her cheek. His voice, thick with emotion, tells her to hold on to him. If she doesn't want to lose him – he holds out his hand – she should hold that hand. Bok Nyeo takes it. And my skin crawls. Ji Hoon looks almost overwhelmed. Doo Gyul, Se Gyul and Han Gyul are at the store and see them holding hands. They are horrified. Ji Hoon declares that he will not let go of her hand until she lets it go. Suddenly, Hye Gyul smacks their hands apart and declares that Bok Nyeo’s hand is hers! They both look at Hye Gyul as she holds Bok Nyeo’s hand. Ji Hoon asks Bok Nyeo if he’s going to have to compete against the little kid.
Ji Hoon and Bok Nyeo are walking, with Ji Hoon carrying 2 bags of groceries. He asks if he should throw the bags away, because they’re stopping him from being able to hold her hand. That would be sweet if he wasn’t a stalker. He mutters that their beginning was spectacular, but full of spectators. He looks behind him and the trio are following them. They duck out of sight, but not before they’re seen. Ji Hoon remarks how they seem like children guarding their mom, who is having an affair.
Bok Nyeo tells Ji Hoon that he can leave now. Ji Hoon doesn’t want to because they've finally became a real couple. He wants to do everything that others do. Taking her home... picking her up... talking on the phone until the cell phone is on fire. Who does that? Teenagers? That almost makes sense since he's stuck in teenage infatuation = real love. A car drives up with Sang Chul inside. He stops and asks them how they ended up there together. Ji Hoon declares that Bok Nyeo’s become his stalker. Sang Chul doesn’t know how to respond to that. He tells Bok Nyeo to get in the car and he’ll take her home. Ji Hoon interrupts him to say that he and Bok Nyeo have more to talk about. Then he suggests Sang Chul take his kids a ride home instead. Busted.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 15 Recap
It’s been a while since I’ve watched this series, but I’m picking up where I left off… The episode begins with Bok Nyeo holding out the marriage application. Sang Chul just awkwardly looks at her. She tells him that since the date has expired, she'll say it never happened. Sang Chul can throw it away or rip it up, whatever he wants. Han Gyul asks if Bok Nyeo’s picking CEO Jang instead of Sang Chul. She answers that she is. Sang Chul asks if she’s really going to date Ji Hoon and she says that she’s going to do it *well,* too. None of the family likes that answer, including Sang Chul.
Bok Nyeo leaves the house and gets in Ji Hoon's car, although her face looks like Ji Hoon makes her skin crawl. Ji Hoon is happy. The kids, who have followed her outside, are not. They’re worried. As they drive away, Ji Hoon asks about what Bok Nyeo’s wearing. Is it a uniform or something, since she wears it every day? He says that he thought that this was a date, but maybe that was just him. I hate how practically everything out of this guy’s mouth is a manipulation. Bok Nyeo answers that it’s a date. Mr. Jang Do Hyung's and her first date. He looks at her and then smiles to himself.
They go to the movies and watch a comedy. Everyone – but Bok Nyeo – is laughing. He gives her a hard time about not eating the popcorn. They’re spotted in the theatre by Mr. and Mrs. Butcher. Who are out on a date. Aw, I like that Mrs. Butcher is now being nice to her husband. I bet he would have taken her out a long time ago if she had been nicer. Mrs. Butcher wonders if Bok Nyeo is two-timing Sang Chul, since they’re supposed to be getting married, but Mr. Butcher mutters that she’s not that type of woman. Aw. Mrs. Butcher remarks that Bok Nyeo on a date is more interesting than watching the movie. Heh.

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.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 10 Recap
The episode starts with Hye Gyul pulling Bok Nyeo into the dining room to consume her Yagkwa cookie. Hye Gyul asks her to sit and she reluctantly does. So does everyone else. Hye Gyul gives Bok Nyeo the Yagkwa cookie and asks her to eat it. Bok Nyeo takes it and after eating a very tiny bite of it, she announces that she will tell them all about her past.
We jump to Director Hong sitting with Grandpa. She tells him that Bok Nyeo’s real name is Eun Soo. Grandpa’s shocked that it’s not Bok Nyeo.
Jump back to Bok Nyeo, who says that she met Director Hong when she was about Hye Gyul's age.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 9 Recap
The episode begins in Sang Chul’s hotel room. Song Hwa announces that she’ll take responsibility for him now. Bok Nyeo emerges from the bathroom. Song Hwa can’t believe she’s there and Sang Chul looks guilty. She asks if he’s done… packing up ? Song Hwa can’t believe that Bok Nyeo’s *still* interfering in her love life. And I suspect that she’ll help whoever to get revenge on Bok Nyeo, because she’s just that type of person. Bok Nyeo mentions that Sang Chul’s beloved children are awaiting him. Sang Chul tells her to go home first. There’s a pause and Bok Nyeo replies that she understands. I’m not sure what his face is saying at all.
Sang Chul leaves the hotel with Song Hwa. They end up next to the river where his wife killed herself. I’m just waiting for her to make some slip up so that he knows that it was her that pushed his wife over the edge. Sang Chul announces that he wants to start over again. What? You’re going back to her? Please be dumping her because you love your children more.
Sang Chul asks Song Hwa if she’s ever been to this place. She hasn’t and as she starts to ask why they’re there, he announces that it’s the river where his wife died. She uncomfortably turns to look at the water. Since mostly it's her fault that his wife took her life. Sang Chul muses about the bottom of a river only being visible during a drought, and that he is finally, seeing my bottom. He says that it was all his fault; he was too shallow, so it all became a mess. When he tells her she doesn’t need to be doing this because she feels sorry for him, she denies that and says it’s because finally saw his sincerity, his heart. And I say ‘whatever,’ you’re only doing this because you’re knocked up and your latest meal ticket dumped you.
But Sang Chul tells Song Hwa that this is also from his heart: he wants to start over again, as the children's father. Yes! Dump her! Dump her! Song Hwa can’t believe he didn’t choose her. Even though you totally weren’t wanting his kids.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 8 Recap
I wasn’t expecting to recap episodes 6, 7 and 8, one right after each other, but this story has sucked me in and I want to know what’s going to happen next. I actually have started to care about almost all involved and I’m really wanting to know what happens between Bok Nyeo and the man who’s been stalking her.
The episode starts with Grandpa screaming at Sang Chul and trying to strike him. Hye Gyul cries for Bok Nyeo to stop him, so she does. Sang Chul touches her shoulder and she judo flips him to the floor. That had to hurt whoever got flipped.
Now Bok Nyeo’s walking along the street and the guy’s leering at her. It’s almost leisurely how he follows her. I wonder if he's been doing this a while, with how he’s acting, walking. The construction site. Bok Nyeo grabs him and shoves him through a brick wall so that he’s hanging. He tells her that she might kill another person like this. He asks her to let him up so they can talk. She considers for a moment and then pulls him up. She does not look frightened at all.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 7 Recap
The episode highlights what’s happened so far – six episodes over the course of a minute. Han Gyul stands and asks Bok Nyeo to kill her, since she doesn’t have a reason to live. Dramatic much? Bok Nyeo looks at her. After a moment, she goes over to the desk and picks up the scissors. Han Gyul looks a little freaked, like she didn’t expect Bok Nyeo to do it. Bok Nyeo is completely silent as she binds her wrists with ducts tape. And as Han Gyul protests, she duct tapes her to the desk. Bok Nyeo leaves the room and nails her inside.
Bok Nyeo goes down and makes her some dinner. As she returns to Han Gyul’s room, Han Gyul bursts out, finally wiggling the nails loose. Bok Nyeo puts down the tray and goes to push her back into the room. Han Gyul shoves past her but Bok Nyeo is relentless. Han Gyul ends up falling down the stairs. Bok Nyeo approaches with the scissors, which Han Gyul’s eyes bulging.
Bok Nyeo cuts through the tape still around Han Gyul’s wrists. Hye Gyul wants to know why Bok Nyeo didn’t kill her. Bok Nyeo asks her if she really wants to die. Because if so, she can take Han Gyul to the river right now. Han Gyul’s already had plenty of chances to do it. Bok Nyeo says that Sang Chul called and ordered her to stop Han Gyul from doing it, so his order overrides hers. Then Bok Nyeo adds that Han Gyul doesn’t have the courage to end her life.
Hye Gyul can’t understand why Bok Nyeo thinks she can’t die. Bok Nyeo replies that if a person could die just because they want to, she (Bok Nyeo) would have died a long time ago. Bok Nyeo starts to walk away and Han Gyul asks if she tried to commit suicide. Bok Nyeo says that she did. And she believes there’s a reason she didn’t. Director Hong told her that there surely must be a reason that she’s still alive, if God exists. Han Gyul wants to know if she found the reason and Bok Nyeo says, turning to look at her, not yet. That is really sad.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 6 Recap
The episode starts with the graffiti proclaiming, “I want to protect my family!” and Sang Chul getting down on his knees to beg Mrs. Nosy not to press charges for it. Doo Gyul (and the rest of his family) can’t believe he’s humiliating himself in that way.
Bok Nyeo exits the room and comes back with the broom. She looks almost angry, if she wore an expression. She walks over to Mrs. Nosy and gestures with the broom and Mrs. Nosy shrinks backward. She wants to know what Bok Nyeo’s going to do this time. Bok Nyeo replies, “Dirty…” and then adds that it’s dirty where she’s standing, because Mrs. Nosy stepped in dog poop. Bok Nyeo comes after her with the mop, cleaning up the poop (which is very fitting that she’s chasing Mrs. Nosy). Mrs. Nosy runs screaming from the house because she stepped in poop.
The Eun family (which includes Bok Nyeo) goes outside and looks at the graffiti. They wonder how they’re going to get it off the wall and Sang Chul thinks to ask Bok Nyeo if she has something to take care of it. Of course she does in her magic bag. Everyone gets to work at cleaning the graffiti, with Doo Gyul the least enthusiastic. Eventually he says that their mother said he was the most reliable. He wonder’s why she would say that since he’s always causing trouble. He starts to cry and Hye Gyul says she’ll protect him. Se Gyul and Sang Chul’s face say the same thing. Go, Dad. Doo Gyul’s stomach growls. so Sang Chul encourages them all to hurry and finish so they can eat. Aw, the Eun family working together. And Sang Chul feels like a good dad, which is good.
It’s a spread at the dinner table, but Hye Gyul is worried about wetting the bed, because she ate so late. Sang Chul tells her not to worry; Doo Gyul wet the bed until he was 10 (and Doo Gyul chokes on his food). He tells Sang Chul, “Stop talking nonsense, Dad.” And then feels weird. But Hye Gyul lessens the moment by imitating Bok Nyeo.

Suspicious Housekeeper Episode 5 Recap
Episode starts with Doo Gyul getting the note that Bok Nyeo is a murderer. He, of course, freaks out and when he looks back at the house, Bok Nyeo is right there, staring at him. She says that she’ll take care of the mail but Doo Gyul says that the letter is for him. So Bok Nyeo leaves, but not before she hits him in the rump with the gate. She, of course, asks if he’s okay, but those little things aren’t the accidents she makes them out to be. He scurries inside.
Han Gyul’s making moon-eyes as her ‘boyfriend’ plays his guitar. What a poser. Hopefully, nice guy, will keep her from giving up her flower to a guy who’s not worth it. (Had to channel Monica Chandler there for a moment.) She gets a phone call but ignores it, so it’s followed immediately with a text. It’s Doo Gyul, freaking. Han Gyul tries to get out of it, but Doo Gyul finally declares that Bok Nyeo is a murderer!
At home, Doo Gyul’s completely certain that the note affirms his suspicions. Han Gyul asks where he found it and goes as far as to ask if Doo Gyul made the note himself. He swears on their mother that he’s telling the truth. Se Gyul comes downstairs, still bearing the marks of when he got beaten up, and says that it’s his bully who did it, in retaliation for what happened when he asked Bok Nyeo to kill him. Doo Gyul sputters that Se Gyul should have told him about the bully, but Se Gyul’s says that they were busy.
Next door, the nosy neighbor is wondering about the guy that was hanging around the Eun House. Her husband asks what trick she’s going to use to get Bok Nyeo fired, since she’s done it before with other people’s housekeepers. Because they were pretty.
