Episode starts with Sung Joon and Hye Jin at the lake and him telling her that he’s going to propose once he’s successful. He releases her and says that to him, there's always the memory of feeling like he lost her. For fifteen years, he longed for her and he found her now after fifteen years. He doesn't want to lose her again. She sighs. Starting now, fifteen years, then another fifteen years, and again fifteen years after that. And if he’s granted even more time, then he wants to spend it all with her, too.
She sighs and he says that he seems to have startled her a lot. Yah. You’ve only just started dating and you’re talking about longing for her for 15 years and being together forever. He says that he’s also very nervous telling her all this. She chuckles a little. Since he was born, this is the first time he’s so sure about anything, so he wanted to let her know how he feels. No pressure! There is no reason for him to hesitate any longer. Then he does her hood and she tells him that she wants him to succeed. Which carries even more weight of ‘yes, I’ll marry you when you ask.’ And they kiss.
♫ Perhaps, because I didn't know love ♫
♫ I wasn't able to say a word ♫
♫ I was always by your side, watching over you ♫
♫ But you don't seem to know yet ♫
Shin Hyuk is in his hotel room, talking with Director Shin, confirming something on November 7. Director Shin asks if Reporter Kim is okay. It seemed like he caught Leonard Kim last time and then... So was that Director from before Leonard Kim? Was Shin Hyuk letting Sung Joon score the deal to help him look good?
Sung Joon returns to his office and looks at his desk. There’s a *text* from the personal manager of Leonard Kim. She’s sorry to tell him that the interview with The Most has been cancelled for unavoidable reasons. She’s sorry. Sung Joon understandably freaks out.

She Was Pretty Episode 13 Recap
We get to start the episode where the other one left off: with the face caress and the kiss. Sarcastic ‘yay.’ Dang and it’s as slow as the last time. Gak. Sorry to all you Hye Jin-Sung Joon shippers, I just really wanted Shin Hyuk to get the girl.
After the kiss is over, Hye Jin tells him that she’s sad. Look at how thin he is. How can he work until he collapses? Weakly, he says that he’s totally fine. And the double pillow action is really annoying me in this shot – if you don’t know what I mean, when shooting just Sung Joon, he’s on the edge of the pillow, when shooting just Hye Jin, she’s on the edge of the pillow, like they’re on 2 separate pillows, but when shooting both of them, there’s *one* pillow. He notices his scarf and she says that she snatched it from Princess. When did he come? He strokes her head as he says that last night, he went there because he missed her, but it was really late, so he restrained himself.
Sung Joon puts his hand on her shoulder – again on his own pillow – and says that he will not restrain any of it. Liking her, missing her, wanting to hug her, he will not restrain these anymore. That is sweet. I’m not a Sung Joon-hater. I just wanted Shin Hyuk to get the girl.
♫ I'm afraid you still don't know how I feel.♫
They hug again.
♫ It seems I don't know. It seems I don't know anyone except you. ♫
And where’s the nurse to kick her out?
♫ It seems I don't know anything else except to love you. ♫

She Was Pretty Episode 12 Recap
Episode begins with Hye Jin frantic at the airport. Her Oma’s VO says that Ha Ri’s Mom said she came because she wanted to take Ha Ri with her. So Hye Jin knows that there’s another thing that Ha Ri didn’t tell her about. Then the hotel worker who said that Manager Min turned in her resignation and left. Hye Jin is really freaking. Ha Ri must've really left. Min Ha Ri. How can you just leave like this? If you leave like this, if you leave this way, what is she supposed to do, Ha Ri? Hye Jin weeps.
Later, Hye Jin sitting, despondent, on a bench in the airport, looking at the list from Ha Ri’s bed. Ha Ri walks by and notices her. She says Hye Jin’s name but Hye Jin doesn’t answer. She asks what Hye Jin is doing there. Hye Jin finally realizes that she’s there and immediately hugs Ha Ri. Ha Ri asks how Hye Jin knew she was going to the airport. Hye Jin starts to yell at her for leaving like this without saying anything! Where is Ha Ri going without her? Don't go, Ha Ri! Hye Jin starts to loudly cry again.
Ha Ri looks around, uncomfortable at the spectacle that Hye Jin is making. Ha Ri asks Hye Jin what she’s talking about. Where is she (Ha Ri)going? Hye Jin asks about Ha Ri going to Japan with her mom. Ha Ri says that she just came to see her mother off at the airport. Crying sniffles from Hye Jin – the kind that you make when you’ve cried really hard and are having a hard time catching your breath.
Ha Ri, a little annoyed, give Hye Jin a ‘ya!’ After doing something that terrible to Hye Jin, where would she go? She gently smoothes the hair away from Hye Jin’s face and asks if she came all the way to the airport because Hye Jin thought she was leaving without saying anything. Hye Jin nods. After clarifying that Ha Ri *really* isn’t going, Hye Jin starts to cry again, this time in relief. Ha Ri hugs Hye Jin and, starting to cry herself, asks where she’s going to go without Hye Jin? How can she go? For the rest of Hye Jin’s life, Ha Ri’s going to stick to her like a piece of gum. She's going to apologize for a very long time. Aw. I’m glad that Hye Jin’s faith in her friend was deserved. They hug some more.

She Was Pretty Episode 11 Recap
Starts with Sung Joon finishing his meeting. He asks where she is. She says that she had to work, but she’ll make sure to be where they planned to meet on time. He hangs up and looks to the sign on his left. It’s a photo of Ha Ri, labeled with her name, calling her Best Hotelier for Ara Hotel. Arg! Shouldn’t have hesitated. Sung Joon’s face looks like he wants to throw up.
And he comes across her outside. Min Ha Ri. Who are you? His face looks terrible! Incredulous at the deception. Why? How the heck could she have been Kim Hye Jin? She can’t say anything. What has she been doing this whole time? Who is she? What the heck is her true identity? His face looks like he’s about to lose it and start yelling. And he’s scary when he yells. She says that she’ll explain everything, Sung Joon. She reaches forward to take his arm, starting to explain, but he pulls it free. She can’t do anything but look at his arm.
He demands that she answer him. Who is she? Ha Ri softly says that she’s a friend. Hye Jin's friend. This sinks in as Ha Ri talks. Hye Jin asked her a favor. She needed to meet with him only once. But after Ha Ri bumped into him again at the hotel, things became complicated. Her voice starts to shake as she says that she was going to meet with him today to explain everything and apologize.
Sung Joon’s eyes are glistening. Then is the real Kim Hye Jin... Is it her? The person who he thinks it is? Both of them look like they’re going to cry. She tells him that he’s right. She apologizes for deceiving him. She wasn't planning on dragging this out for so long– He says nothing and just walks away. Ha Ri starts to sob. And I feel bad for her. She could have lied, tried to lie, but she did what she decided to do.
Sung Joon drives in his car. As he thinks about all the clues he ignored – her naturally vicious curls, she’s Kim Hye Jin! It's a go! – he starts to cry.
She Was Pretty Episode 10 Recap
Episode starts with Hye Jin driving in Ah Reum’s car, which is smoking. Thinking it’s fog, she turns on the wipers but after a moment, she realizes that it smells like smoke. Then it starts sputtering and then dies all together. She’s able to pull it over to the side of the road.
She gets out of the car, coughing at the smoke, and then it starts to rain. Luckily she had an umbrella with her. She tries to check on the engine, but she doesn’t know anything about cars, and decides to call someone. Problem: she has no idea where she is. She starts walking.
Now she’s getting very cold and comes upon Sung Joon desperately asking about the condition of the driver of the accident. She’s surprised that he’s there and gets his attention by calling him ‘Deputy Chief Editor.’ He immediately goes over and hugs her, causing her to drop the umbrella.
And Shin Hyuk sees everything from across the street. He sighs, relieved that she’s okay.
Sung Joon lets go of Hye Jin and immediately starts to scold her. Is she an idiot? How could she make a mistake with a car? What if something had happened to her! He is really still freaking out. She answers ‘no’ – probably to his first question, heh – and then asks him if he’s okay. It's raining so hard; how did he drive? He just stares at her, his hands still on her shoulders.
She notices that he’s soaked and grabs for her umbrella. He’s still standing there like he’s in shock. He won’t stop looking at her face. She tells him that he’s soaked and asks if there really was no problem. Is he really ok? She mentions the rain again and asks how he could have come this far. He answers that he didn't know that it was raining. And it is really raining loudly. They stare at each other.

She Was Pretty Episode 9 Recap
Well, they only showed one episode, on Thursday, this week. I am annoyed.
We start the episode a little before the cliff hanger from last week, with Hye Jin in the stylist’s chair. Stylist is, of course, freaking out about the curls. How did she live all these years with this hair?! Ironically, Stylist’s hair, except for the part around her head, is nearly as curly as Hye Jin’s natural curl. I guess Hye Jin’s hair is just a little too curly… Hye Jin, of course, wants to get rid of her curls – which I’ve grown to like and which make her unique – but nearly balks when she hears that it will cost 400,000 Won. She stares at herself for a moment and agrees, saying she wants a new start.
She heads to a department store and invests in a shirt she likes. She also sneaks in for a voluntary makeover. Then she heads into work, no freckles or redness on her face – and, again, I miss the normal Hye Jin. She’s smiling broadly. Manager and his lackeys spot her and he’s amazed and disbelieving that it’s Hye Jin.
Hye Jin answers the phone at Most. Everyone stops what they’re doing in shock. Shin Hyuk looks like he’s appalled. Shin Hyuk says her name, Jackson, in a voice asking if it’s her. And the voice sounds appalled. Ah Reum says that she thinks it’s Hye Jin because of her “depressing bag.” Hye Jin says, in Hye Jin style, that she’s back and apologizes for worrying them. Joon Woo rushes over and gives her a huge hug, telling his noona that he’s totally missed her! And I crack up because Poong Ho got up to get a huge from her, too. He’s left hanging. Hye Jin happily hugs him. Seol hurries over to pull Joon Woo off her as Shin Hyuk – still appalled – asks what she’s doing right now!
Ah Reum welcomes Hye Jin, saying that she’s glad Hye Jin came back. Seon Min tells her that she’s become so pretty. Hye Jin smiles broadly. Eun Yung practically shrieks that unni is unrecognizable! Lee Kyung agrees. Sung Joon sees her from inside his office and stops. He smiles softly. Joo Young yells at everyone to get back to work. She gives Hye Jin a welcoming smile.

She Was Pretty Episode 8 Recap
Episode starts with Ha Ri kissing Sung Joon and Shin Hyuk seeing it. He stops Hye Jin from looking and grabbing her into a back hug. She immediately complains that it’s suffocating. She tries to look again, but he claims that someone's drunk and peeing in public. He says that it'll ruin her eyes and make them rot! Even as she complains, he drags her away.
Done kissing Sung Joon, Ha Ri tells him that she doesn't want to be with him as a childhood friend, but as his girlfriend. No pressure there. She tells him that she wants to hear his answer. Sung Joon doesn’t know what to say. Big pause. Ha Ri chuckles a little bitterly and says that she guesses that he doesn't feel the same. Sung Joon is trying to recover from the shock of being cornered like this, since he hasn’t figured out how he feels. Since he’s not able to answer her... he must not feel the same way. Her voice is cracking and she looks down. Sung Joon takes a deep breath and nods to himself. He grabs her hand and says that they should go. She reluctantly follows. I wonder what he’s doing. He’s about to jump in, I know it.
Hye Jin is marveling at how Shin Hyuk completely fooled her into thinking Coco was a real younger sister! She feels so wronged! Shin Hyuk is walking behind her, trying to process this revelation of their love triangle. She yells at him to stop following her! But he grabs her arm and asks about that friend of hers who she said lives with her... Is that the same friend who she said was her other half? She wants to know why he’s asking about our Ha Ri all of a sudden? That’s a yes. Shin Hyuk knows that it’s bad. He tells her they should talk and sits at a nearby table.
Hye Jin reluctantly sits with her arms folded. Shin Hyuk says that when he brought her there last time when she got drunk, he remembered her telling him. They must be very close, if Hye Jin calls Ha Ri her other half. Hye Jin says that saying that they’re close doesn't even begin to explain it. Their mothers were best friends so they’ve been with each other since birth. The best thing she’s ever done in her life is becoming friends with our Ha Ri. She explains that since we're human, no matter how close you are to a friend, when something good happens to him or her, honestly you do feel at least a tiny bit of jealousy. But when something good happens to me, the only person who is completely happy for me one hundred percent, as much as my mom would be, is our Ha Ri.
She Was Pretty Episode 7 Recap
Silent car ride. Both of them are uncomfortable. Because Sung Joon is starting to like her and thinks that he shouldn’t since she’s not the real Hye Jin. She keeps trying to strike up some sort of conversation and Sung Joon shuts it down. She starts to sing – and has a nice voice – and, sounding a bit irritated, Sung Joon asks if they’re going on an excursion. Hye Jin stops singing and shakes her head ‘no.’ He says that he has a lot on his mind so they should go quietly. She agrees but then her stomach loudly growls. As Sung Joon grimaces, she protests that she’s trying to be quiet but it's doing it on its own!
Hye Jin wonders what Sung Joon’s problem is. Why is he back to Siberia mode (acting cold)? Why did he give me the onion then? More growling and Hye Jin coughs to cover the sound.
Back at The Most, Shin Hyuk holds up a huge fake spider in Joo Young’s face and tries to get her to freak out. Dead-pan, she asks what he wants her to do about it. He is bored because Hye Jin is not there to torment. Off-kilter, he mutters that she should do nothing. Poong Ho walks up and he tries to scare Poong Ho. Poong Ho’s only reaction is to hit Shin Hyuk several times on the head with his scratching stick. As they discuss when Shin Hyuk is going to grow up, he rolls back to his desk and moans that Jackson's reaction is unparalleled. He sighs and says her name again.
Sung Joon and Hye Jin stop at a restaurant. She deeply breathes in the air. He tells her to stop inhaling air that won't fill her up and go eat. Hye Jin starts to order the wild vegetable bibimbap but Sung Joon cuts her off and orders 2 portions of the special beef tenderloin. Hye Jin looks at the price: 60,000 Won. She asks if it’s too expensive. He asks if she’s complaining, since he’s paying for it anyway.
She Was Pretty Episode 6 Recap
Episode picks up with Sung Joon and Hye Jin sitting in the rain, Hye Jin covering them both with her hoodie. He reaches up and toches her face. She doesn’t hear him call her Hye Jin-a because of the honking of the truck and it startles her into realizing how in danger they are. She pulls Sung Joon out of the street. As they sit under the awning at a bus stop, she worries at how cold he is and how much shivering he’s doing. He pulls off her hoodie and tells her to go. She refuses and wants to take him home. He repeats his gasp that she should go. He asks her to please just go. He’s so pathetic right now. She calls a driver, who takes Sung Joon home. She tells the driver to turn up the heat and take care of him until he gets home.
Shin Hyuk is still waiting with Ha Ri. He sighs loudly and looks at his phone. Ha Ri tries calling Sung Joon but talks to the driver instead. Driver says that the customer isn't feeling well so he’s taking Sung Joon home right now. This gets Ha Ri to hurry and leave to take care of him. She doesn’t give Shin Hyuk any explanation but hurries out. He’s annoyed because he got dressed up for nothing. I like his hair, though. He decides to take some selfies. And his charming smile cracks me up. He actually cracks himself up. Heh.
Ha Ri gets to his apartment building and almost doesn’t remember his apartment number. But she does and starts ringing his doorbell. She calls him when he doesn’t answer but he staggers out and basically collapses on her.
Inside now, she makes him some porridge – or tries to. Sung Joon finally comes to his senses. When she sees him upright, she tries to feel his neck for his temperature, but he assures her that he’s all right. He asks how she got there and she explains about the driver. He apologizes for making her wait, saying he suddenly fell ill. I find it strange that he didn’t say anything about the accident, since Hye Jin knows about it and it would completely explain everything.

She Was Pretty Episode 5 Recap
Eotteokay! Hye Jin was caught in a pickle with Sung Joon last episode. What will happen? I guess I’ll have to watch the episode. Waiting a week has been rough!
Episode starts with Hye Jin at Sung Joon’s door, trying to figure out his code. She’s so stressed about going in and getting her phone – so Sung Joon won’t see the pictures of her and Ha Ri together – that she starts biting her teeth together. Don’t normally see people do that because of stress. She thinks and wonder if it’s possibly…
Flashback to kid Hye Jin singing Sung Joon ‘Happy Birthday.’ He blows out the candles and tells her that it’s not his birthday. Young Hye Jin is surprised. He uses today's date for his locker, his bicycle lock and all his other locks. She asks what the numbers mean. Proudly, Sung Joon declares that it’s his favorite day out of the whole year. It's the International Left-hander's Day. What an oddball. Hye Jin is impressed that there’s a day like that. Sung Joon smiles and takes big scoops of icing from the cake.
Back in the present, Hye Jin nods that this is it. She reaches into her purse and pulls out her planner. The date is circled. She keys in 0813 (for the date) and it works. She’s able to get inside his apartment. At least that part of him hasn’t changed.
As she walks by the couch on her way to the puzzle, Sung Joon twitches. He wakes and is surprised to find himself in his apartment. He notices Hye Jin leaning in towards the puzzle. She smiles at the space where her piece is. Sung Joon surprises her and she knocks the puzzle over. She almost steps on the glass and he grabs her toward him. She’s all but 5 seconds before she pulls back her hands (in a way that says let go!)

She Was Pretty Episode 4 Recap
Episode starts with Sung Joon in the coffee shop. He gets the phone call and sits down on the notebook. Hye Rin has stepped outside. She tells Hye Jin that Hye Jin has no sisterly love. She tells Hye Jin that, since she’s in the neighborhood, she’ll just go to Ha Ri Unni and ask Ha Ri to buy her a meal. Hye Jin reluctantly agrees to come.
Sung Joon looks at the notebook: Kim Hye Rin's secret notes. Hye Rin tells him it’s hers. She clarifies that the notebook he’s holding is hers. He says nothing, just looks at her and smiles.
Hye Jin enters and sees them meeting. She tries to run but gets caught in a crush of people. She hides behind a sign and sees that Sung Joon has brought Hye Rin a drink.
Hye Rin asks how Sung Joon knows her sister. Who is he? He replies that he’s her friend. She asks what kind of friend.
Hye Jin uses the sign she’s hiding behind to sneak out of the store, much to the complaint of one of the servers. She gets on her phone and places a call, worried that Hye Rin is going to screw everything up. I don’t’ think she will. She seems very savvy.

She Was Pretty Episode 3 Recap
Episode starts with Sung Joon leaving his meeting and seeing Ha Ri in the rearview mirror. He stops in the middle of the road and leaves his car there to run inside. He does the wrist grab and starts to ask what’s going on? Why is she there? His voice trails off as he notices her clothes. She quickly wraps both her arms around him in a hug and acts excited to see him as she quickly takes off her name badge. She throws it over her shoulder – which hits one of the hotel staff on the head.
Ha Ri lets go and asks how they met there? What is he doing there? He says he’s the one who should be asking that. Why is she there when she went to study abroad? Staffer picks up the name tag and seeing her, calls out her name. Sung Joon quickly rushes him outside. Staffer starts to follow. Outside, Sung Joon starts to try to get answers but a doorman comes up and asks him to move his car. It’s causing quite an uproar. He apologizes and tells Ha Ri to wait there while he moves it. Staffer arrives with her name badge and Ha Ri takes that moment to briefly freak out, out of Sung Joon’s ear shot. What is she going to do?
Switch to Ha Ri nervously bouncing her leg as she sits with Sung Joon at a café. She sips her drink. She says that she did go to study abroad. He replies that she did. She even sent him a picture she took in London. She asks why he thinks she’s there. She draws out the last part of the sentence and giggles, smiling broadly, and I wonder what’s in her drink. She giggles nervously and Sung Joon is not smiling. She says that she did go, but she got a call from Korea not too long afterwards. She got a chance to work at this hotel, and she got greedy. So she just returned urgently. She smiles, uncomfortable. Sung Joon’s still upset. Her leg shakes some more.
Finally, Sung Joon stifles a laugh and looks away. Turning back to her, he says that she should have called to say she came back. He almost left even when he saw her earlier, because he thought she was still in London and he was seeing things. Ha Ri holds up her arm and points at it. She just got goosebumps. As a matter of fact, she was going to call him today. She snaps her fingers and asks how they ran into each other there like this, huh?! And she is being so weird right now. He says that it’s good. He was sad when they parted ways like that. Awkward smile from Ha Ri.
Ha Ri lets go and asks how they met there? What is he doing there? He says he’s the one who should be asking that. Why is she there when she went to study abroad? Staffer picks up the name tag and seeing her, calls out her name. Sung Joon quickly rushes him outside. Staffer starts to follow. Outside, Sung Joon starts to try to get answers but a doorman comes up and asks him to move his car. It’s causing quite an uproar. He apologizes and tells Ha Ri to wait there while he moves it. Staffer arrives with her name badge and Ha Ri takes that moment to briefly freak out, out of Sung Joon’s ear shot. What is she going to do?

She Was Pretty Episode 2 Recap
Episode starts where we left off, but with a different angle. Instead of the close-ups, it’s more of a medium shot. Right after Sung Joon introduces himself, we get a flashback. The person he’s talking to sounds like they’re actually American and Park Seo Joon did really well with his accent. Caller tells Sung Joon that he only has three months. He can’t forget! He only gets three shots at it. And what is it? Saving the magazine? Proving himself? What is it?
Taxi driver remarks that Sung Joon looks like he came from overseas. Not sure why, but he just heard him talking in English so that could be it. Sung Joon replied that he’s returned to Korea after about 15 years. Driver says what I was thinking: Wow, that's quite a long time. He asks why Sung Joon is back. Sung Joon replies that he has things to do, and something that he must find. That part at the end, from the way he says it, he’s thinking of Hye Jin and the puzzle piece.
Switch to the elevator. We see what happened after Hye Jin got off. Sung Joon got Pretty Girl’s attention (taps on her shoulder) and asks if PG is busy. She plays with her hair and says that she’s not. Half smiling (half ticked) Sung Joon asks if – since she’s not busy - how about getting back her conscience now? Bam! That was awesome. PG can’t believe it. Everyone looks at her, waiting for her to get off. Even though they were perfectly happy to let her stay before Sung Joon said something.
PG gets off the elevator. The guy who tells her to get on the elevator (while keeping the door from closing) is Shin Hyuk. With a smile on his face. Whenshe hesitates, he wordlessly tells her to get on – in that conspiratorial way that friends talk to each other. Sung Joon is looking at some papers so he doesn’t see her face. She smiles and says that it’s a relief.
Back to Driver, who asks what Sung Joon’s there to find. He replies, “My umbrella.” And I swoon just a little. He came back to find his umbrella. Totally called that!

She Was Pretty Episode 1 Recap
Okay, so I’ve been eagerly waiting for this show. Hopefully, it will be as good as I’m hoping.
Series starts with gentle, nostalgic music playing. It’s raining in the big city and in a tall skyscraper a faceless man (who has a really nice apartment and a miniature Eiffel Tower on his desk) takes out a Mason jar that has puzzle pieces in it. They’re really big puzzle pieces, so it must not be that difficult of a puzzle. I mean, they’re kid-sized puzzle pieces. But maybe that’s the point.) As music continues, man assembles puzzle. It’s Renoir’s ‘Danse à la Campagne (Dance in the Country),’ painted in 1883 and which now hangs in the Museé d’Orsay. It’s displayed with ‘Danse à la Ville (Dance in the City),’ which was painted the same year. A bit trivia: Paul Lhote was the man in both paintings and the woman in Dance in the Country is Aline Charigot, who Renoir married in 1890.
Man finishes the puzzle but there’s one piece missing. His hand hovers next to the hole. He jumps on his computer and goes to a site designed to find people: Spokeo.com. This is an actual website and not something that they made up for the show. I have never heard of it, but cool.
He types – in English – Kim Hyejin. It pulls up a list, along with their aliases, ages and where they’ve lived. If you type the same thing, the same list pulls up. And for some random reason the second Kim Hyejin, who is 42, has lived in Columbia, MO, and Sunnyvale, CA. Yes, I’ve lived there and it’s the home to the University of Missouri, but it just seems random that it would show up. And I notice that he has Google and YouTube bookmarked on his toolbar. Heh. He eventually gets to Korean results. He goes to a box of letters. Lots of letters, All marked ‘RETURN’ (Return to Sender). It’s so sad. He doodled on a lot of them.

Mask Episode 20 Recap
Okay, I think I’m procrastinating on watching this last episode not because I don’t want it to end, but because I’m worried that my questions are going to go unanswered. I am sad that it’s ending, because I have loved watching Soo Ae and Joo Ji Hoon, individually and as a couple. I think they’ve made it into my favorite actors lists. But it will really annoy me if they lead some very promising threads hanging – like Oma’s murder and how Doc Kim’s betrayal fits into the scheme of things, and most importantly, WHY Seok Hoon targeted Min Woo for all these terrible things. We’re starting the last episode in a place where I can’t see these things being tidied up without a lot of deus ex machina and that just annoys me.
Our episode starts with Min Woo asleep. Birds are chirping outside as he wakes up – indicating that it’s morning, because birds don’t usually chirp in the afternoon. He rolls over and the bed is empty. He calls for Ji Sook – louder as he gets no answer – and starts to get worried. He jumps out of bed – fully clothed in the clothes he was wearing the day before, minus overcoat, which means that they still haven’t done anything where Ji Sook might be pregnant – and quickly exits the bedroom door, slamming it behind him. Starting to pant with panic, he grabs his coat… and Ji Sook enters with a smile on her face. He sighs with relief and immediately hugs her.
Ji Sook is surprised and asks what’s wrong. After hugging her a moment, he lets go and asks where she has been; adding that he was worried. She smiles and says that she went out to get something that will make him handsomer. She touches his whiskers and says that they grew out this much just in one day.
Instead of Min Woo shaving himself, Ji Sook is going to do it. His cheeks and chin now covered with shaving cream, he asks if she’s sure she can do this? She’s confident. Hasn’t he seen her with knives when she was cooking? Not really. Just the one time, since the maids freaked out that she was doing it herself. But okay. She picks up the razor and he warily looks at it. She asks if he’s scared. Looking at her and then the razor again, he says, “Of course not,” in a voice that isn’t convincing at all. Ji Sook laughs. She lightly shaves him. And they are doing this in the living room instead of the bathroom where normal people shave. They smile at each other, enjoying this intimate moment.

Mask Episode 19 Recap
Episode starts with Min Woo debating whether to jump into the lake. He does and sinks for a moment. Ji Sook collapses from the smoke inhalation. Min Woo sims for shore and makes it. He immediately runs for the house. Which has to be hard with wet clothes. He tries to get inside but it’s locked. He throws something through a window and runs inside. He frantically starts searching for Ji Sook. And I’m impressed at his where-with-all to pick up a chair and throw it through a door so that he can quickly see if Ji Sook is inside the room.
He makes it to the bedroom where she is and almost makes it outside with them when he is hit by a falling chandelier. It doesn’t stop him though. He collapses on the ground beside her once they are outside. As he loses consciousness, he makes sure that he’s holding her hand. He thinks of when they walked down the path together, the path that guarantees a couple will be together forever if they walk down it together. Of them crossing the river on the bridge of stones together.
He wakes up to find himself alone. And not where he lost consciousness. Now he is down by the edge of the lake. He catches sight of a piece of Ji Sook’s dress, but no Ji Sook.
[Episode 19 – A Vacancy]
Back at Casa Choi, the police are questioning Min Woo. Why did he have a piece of clothing covered in Ms. Seo Eun Ha's blood? Does her really not remember that incident? Min Woo says nothing. He’s sitting next to Seok Hoon. Seok Hoon tells Cop that it hasn’t been confirmed yet whether it's Seo Eun Ha's blood. Cop should only ask Min Woo about what has been confirmed. Cop sighs and looks in his notebook. Behind him, Dad, Stepmom and Mi Yeon are watching the interview.
Cop says that Min Woo’s car was found about 10 kilometers away from the villa, near the lake. This needs to be explained. Min Woo asks if his wife is still alive. She is, right? Cop says that they found a stain of blood on a rock near the lake. If it is indeed her blood, the chances of her still being alive are very slim. Min Woo shakes his head and says that she will be alive. She’s not the type to die that easily. Cop2 enters with Ji Sook’s hairbrush. He declares that if the DNA matches, it is very likely that she is dead.

Mask Episode 18 Recap
Episode begins in the grove with the memorial trees. Min Woo is helping Ji Hyuk to plant Mom’s tree. He asks Papa – calling him Father-in-Law – is he likes the tree. Papa doesn’t say anything, just cries. Ji Hyuk declares that the tree’s sturdy so even if a typhoon comes, it won't budge. And Ji Hyuk and Min Woo are calling each other ‘Brother-in-law.’ Ji Sook asks if Mom’s tree will grow and bud flowers and bear fruit.
Ji Sook goes over and touches Mom’s tree. She thinks about when they planted their and Ji Eun’s tree. When a person dies, where do they go? When a person dies, they go to the heart of the person that they love. Holding Mom’s ring to her heart, she tells Mom to be born as her daughter in the next life and cause her a lot of heartache. She leaves the ring by the tree.
Ji Sook and Min Woo are in Mom’s room looking over Mom’s things. Memories looking at the apron she made Mom. She looks at Min Woo and says that she thinks she understands now. All this time, she thought she came this far because of her family… if she had a lot of money, her family would be happy. But it's not like that. It was because of her… her greed. Min Woo tell her that she did her best and it isn't her fault. And Mom’s death is more the fault of Mi Yeon. Ji Sook weeps and smells Mom’s apron. Min Woo kneels beside her and holds her as she cries.
Mi Yeon is sitting at Casa Choi’s bar, drinking. I wonder if she knows she killed someone else. Seok Hoon takes the bottle away from her. She asks if he was distressed. He’s not sure what she means. She says that she’s asking if he felt distressed when he did bad things. He asks what that means. She says that she feels so distressed right now, like she’s going crazy. She pours herself another drink and chugs it. He asks what bad things she did. And I can’t tell what his face means… what this moment means… Mi Yeon says that she just wanted to interfere with the surgery. She didn't know it would go this far. So she does know that she killed Mom. She tells herself that that’s right. It was an accident. Even if she didn't do it, ‘she’ would have died anyway. Seok Hoon asks who Mi Yeon is talking about. Instead of answering the question, with a distraught voice, Mi Yeon says that it’s all Loan Shark’s fault. If Loan Shark didn't say those things…. Yes it was like that.

Mask Episode 17 Recap
Our episode starts with Ji Sook and Min Woo back at Casa Choi. Aw. We could see the kiss again? Please? She’s just gotten done telling him everything and says that she feels relieved now. She apologizes for not telling him earlier. He reaches over and takes her hand and says that it must have been hard for her all this time. And I am swooning. Sigh. How lonely it must have been all alone, Byeon Ji Sook-shi. She looks at him and asks him to say her name again. He does and it makes her smile, which makes him smile.
She says his name. His face says, ‘yes?’ She puts his hand back on the couch and says that they still need to get a divorce. He asks if it’s because of Seok Hoon and says that he will resolve that. She replies that she said that this is her problem. They can't continue living like this. How is this just her problem?! Can I shake her?! He asks her why – as in why can’t we continue being together? He repeats that he doesn’t mind. You tell her, Min Woo. He’ll tell Dad that Seok Hoon tried to kill him. They should talk about the divorce after that. He says that they can keep living like this, Byeon Ji Sook-shi. And you know that she’s swooning every time he says her real name. Although, I’m not really sure what her face is saying right now.
Replay of Min Woo being shot and Mi Yeon seeing that it was Seok Hoon.
Now she’s in their room, standing before Seok Hoon, asking how he could shoot a bullet at her brother? Expressionless, he says that he didn't shoot the bullet at Min Woo. He was shooting at a deer passing by. She screams, “Please!” at him and begs him not to lie anymore. There are tears in her eyes. Why have you not turned him into the police? He looks down and says that it wasn't a lie. He was just hunting an animal. Humans are animals.
Mi Yeon picks up something and hurls it so that it flies past his head and smashes the glass of their wedding portrait. Seok Hoon says that he… did not lie. She’s done with it all. She tells him to get out. Get lost from this house. She can't handle dealing with him anymore. He just stands there. She says that if he doesn't leave, she will. She walks out of their room and Seok Hoon sighs.

Mask Episode 16 Recap
Episode begins with Min Woo reacting to Ji Sook’s announcement that she’s giving away half of her shares for a charitable foundation. Min Woo’s blinking tell me that his heart finally beat his head. Seok Hoon sighs. The light flares and Min Woo saves Ji Sook’s life. Why are people screaming? Why do people do that over something like this? Seok Hoon stands, livid that the light fell NOT on his order. Mi Yeon stands, too, horrified because that could have been Min Woo. Min Woo and Ji Sook look at the light and she asks if he’s okay.
They return home. Stepmom bemoans such an accident happening at the event. Dad asks if Eun Ha was shocked. She replies that she was. If Min Woo didn't save her, it would have been a big problem. Dad checks that Min Woo is okay. He is. Dad snaps at Seok Hoon for the accident. He should have paid more attention to make sure everything was set properly! Seok Hoon says that he’s going to investigate and find out who is responsible. He’s already taken measures so the story of this incident doesn't leak out. Dad nods and he and Stepmom go up to bed – but not before Stepmom orders a sedative.
Back in their room, Min Woo asks how it happened. How much does she know? She replies that she said that he is in danger. He asks from who. Perhaps, Seok Hoon? Ji Sook says that she’s not sure of that, because she can't prove it. They look at each other. At least he can look at her now, be in the same room with her now. She says that even though this might sound shameless, she must say this to him. She says his name and asks him to trust her. He laughs at that one and replies, “I to Seo–” He stops himself because that’s not her name. A twitch of his jaw because the wound is still fresh.
Min Woo asks why he has to trust her? She replies that it’s so she can tell him this. It isn't something she’d say suddenly. She thought a lot and prepared a lot. He asks what it is that she wants to say. She tells him they should… She pauses because it’s hard for her to get the sentence out. She sighs and finishes it: they should get divorced. Arg! And I thought that they were finally going to start working together. Min Woo barely registers a reaction on his face – but it’s like she just slapped him, the twitching his eyes just did. She tells him that they should just go up to here. Min Woo’s face says that he’s not happy at all.

Mask Episode 15 Recap
Ji Sook is waiting to tell Min Woo everything. He’s trying to keep her breathing steady. Min Woo is reading her bio and discovering the truth.
He leaves the meeting in a daze – oh, I hate seeing him like this! Practically about to pass out. He thinks about all the little things that she’s said and done that point to the truth:
I have a lot of secrets. I guess you can say I am wearing a mask.
The person that you married is not Seo Eun Ha.
He sags to the ground, overcome. And I find myself telling him to throw up, he’ll feel better. He loosens his tie and mutters that there’s no way. He staggers to his feet again.
Ji Sook is pacing. It’s after 8 pm and he’s still not home. She tries calling Min Woo. He’s sitting in a hotel, drinking. Even though it’s out on the table beside him, he doesn’t answer it.
Eun Ha asking if she needs someone to rely on. Their marriage is for business after all.
Ji Sook saying that they are a couple and that family should be on the same side, no matter what happens.
Min Woo wants to know when the switch happened. Since when?
Seok Hoon and Mi Yeon are at the shooting range, doing target practice. They both have loaded weapons. In their hands… right now. Mi Yeon is pretty lethal, but Seok Hoon is all over the place. He thinks about how Mi Yeon told him that now Min Woo will know everything… Seo Eun Ha isn't real. But Ji Sook is real and she’s really in love with him and has told him so. She says that because he kept telling her not to, she wanted to do it more. So she did it.
He leaves the meeting in a daze – oh, I hate seeing him like this! Practically about to pass out. He thinks about all the little things that she’s said and done that point to the truth:
I have a lot of secrets. I guess you can say I am wearing a mask.
The person that you married is not Seo Eun Ha.
He sags to the ground, overcome. And I find myself telling him to throw up, he’ll feel better. He loosens his tie and mutters that there’s no way. He staggers to his feet again.
Ji Sook is pacing. It’s after 8 pm and he’s still not home. She tries calling Min Woo. He’s sitting in a hotel, drinking. Even though it’s out on the table beside him, he doesn’t answer it.
