Wild Romance Episode 8

Mu-Yeol asks why Jong-Hee is back and she just says she missed them, can’t she do that? Eun-Jae says no, in her head. Mu-Yeol asks if it was a coincidence, but Eun-Jae thinks there is no coincidence and she’s right. Jong-Hee came back after hearing all those nasty comments about Mu-Yeol. Jong-Hee compliments Eun-Jae on her drinking skills and it turns out Jong-Hee has that too. Thus begins the pride contest of who can drink the most alcohol. Jong-Hee drinks hers every femininely while Eun-Jae drinks hers like a badass. Eun-Jae ends up supporting Dong-Ah and witnesses the flirting between Mu-Yeol and Jong-Hee (whose using her cute charm). This causes Eun-Jae to fling Dong-Ah away and call for a taxi quickly so Jong-Hee can get out of here. How cute of Tae-Han to try and support Dong-Ah. Mu-Yeol tries to tell Jong-Hee something when she’s in the taxi, but Eun-Jae slams the door and tells the taxi to leave since there are so many cars behind it.When Eun-Jae gets home, she finds her brother secretly spying on their dad whose talking on the phone. Her brother tells her that their dad has a girlfriend which is why he’s all smiles. Eun-Jae notes how her dad’s heart which had been stubborn on one love for 15 years even opened up for a new one. She bursts into the room and shouts: “Yoo Young Gil, FIGHTINGGGG!” Eun-Jae looks into the mirror and says to herself that love is about change. She takes one of Dong-Ah’s books titled, The Psychology of Seduction, finally acknowledging that Dong-Ah might have her uses. She starts her transformation by shaping her eyebrows which ends up with her shaving some of it off. She then starts straightening her hair. She also starts putting on some foundation which causes her to get sneezing. Finally she is done preparing and she looks really cute! She enters Mu-Yeol’s apartment and they both circle each other like animals who encounter other strange animals. They both notice the difference in each other – Eun-Jae with her straight hair and Mu-Yeol without his mustache. Mu-Yeol changed into workout clothes and walks back into the locker room when he gets a phone call from Jong-Hee. I like how Eun-Jae was taking sel-cas of herself again. They meet Jong-Hee at a cafe where Eun-Jae sits at a different table. Mu-Yeol and Jong-Hee have a casual conversation about how cute Mu-Yeol looks and whether Jong-Hee slept or not. Through this, Eun-Jae was making little snide comments in her head (haha). Jong-Hee asks who Seo Yoon-Yi is.They go to the hospital where Yoon-Yi is getting discharged. Mu-Yeol asks Jong-Hee if she recognizes him which she shakes her head no. If he was that cute, she would have remembered; Mu-Yeol does a double take at Yoon-Yi and Jong-Hee gets up. When she’s out of earshot, Mu-Yeol asks Eun-Jae if that guy is cute and she replies how could Yoon-Yi compare to him? She gives him the thumbs up and Mu-Yeol agrees, giving a thumbs up back.The two nurses, who are walking with Yoon-Yi, tell him to come back again so they can have tea together. Jong-Hee walks up and congratulates him on his discharge, but does he know her? Yoon-Yi is confused and said he doesn’t think so and she says of course he doesn’t know her. So, why did he do it? Yoon-Yi is lost and Jong-Hee takes out a rose. She smacks him across the face with it. Eun-Jae inspects her face in the mirror and wishes she was prettier. She asks Dong-Ah if she was a guy, would she fall for Eun-Jae. Dong-Ah says yes, but when asked which part of Eun-Jae, Dong-Ah replies that she thought this was just a yes or no question. Heh. Dong-Ah demands, which guy is it this time? Even if Eun-Jae doesn’t tell her, Eun-Jae can’t hide it from her, she’s Kim Dong-Ah. She starts her detective skills: it can’t be Mu-Yeol, it’s not Tae-Han because he’s her’s, Dong-Su is married…it must be Reporter Go! Eun-Jae sighs, what would Dong-Ah know about love. Dong-Ah begs to differ, she’s melo expert Dong-Ah; she can even find romance in elementary school textbooks At the gym, Eun-Jae stares at Mu-Yeol while Mu-Yeol thinks about Jong-Hee. A ringtone sounds, but it’s actually for his teammate and not him so Mu-Yeol angrily tells his teammate to change his ringtone. He goes to the locker room where he look at a calendar, trying to figure out who’s birthday he could use as an excuse to go to Dong-Su’s house. Su-Young’s already passed and Dong-Su’s later. He ends up going to Dong-Su’s place to give a present to the little boy for graduating kindergarten, however he didn’t graduate, just moved up a class. Jong-Hee and Eun-Jae laugh at Mu-Yeol’s awkward situation.Dong-Su gets a phone call that tells him Mu-Yeol is over at the house. He’s out shopping with Su-Young for groceries and he tells her that he knew Mu-Yeol would come today or tomorrow. He knows Mu-Yeol still likes Jong-Hee. Su-Young comments that they didn’t break up because they fell out of love.Mu-Yeol and Jong-Hee chat together while Eun-Jae has a play date with Woo-Young. Eun-Jae opens the door of his room with the excuse that if a man and woman are together, they should leave the door open (hahaha). Mu-Yeol and Jong-Hee talk about her current living situation and she asks him to give her a room at his place. Eun-Jae shouts out: “You wicked punk! How dare you challenge me?!” while pretending to reenact something with Woo-Young. Jong-Hee wonders what she should do, hotels are expensive, motels are uncomfortable. Mu-Yeol asks how long she is staying to which she replies that she’s not sure. Should she just not go back? Eun-Jae screams: “Shut up! Before I rip off your noisy mouth!” The married couple come back and they all have dinner together at the dining table except for Woo-Hyeon and Eun-Jae who are at a separate table. Eun-Jae tries to eavesdrop while Mu-Yeol tells them all about vacancies in the officetel (an office and an apt together, derived from ‘office’ and ‘hotel,’ I believe) that he lives at. Mu-Yeol thinks that she can even just rent per day and while Eun-Jae’s not looking, cutie Woo-Young tries to sneak his veggies to her bowl. Eun-Jae slams the chair with her spoon and Woo-Young quickly withdrawsAn agent shows Mu-Yeol and Jong-Hee the officetel while Eun-Jae stands and watches. The agent mistakes the two for a newlywed couple so Jong-Hee plays along and asks her “honey” what he thinks. He uses “honey” as well and Eun-Jae just stands there dumbfounded, she silently calls him a bastard. Eun-Jae’s sad that when they were mistaken as newlyweds, he got so angry. Jong-Hee finds out that pets are allowed and she’s happy that Short doesn’t have to sit out on the porch. Mu-Yeol tries to cover his smile about something.Eun-Jae walks inside the gym where she looks at Mu-Yeol with lovey dovey eyes in the mirror, but Mu-Yeol thinks she’s glaring at him. Mu-Yeol asks Eun-Jae about her first love and when she starts to tell him, he thinks she’s just making it up. She tells him her first love had a Song Joong Ki styleShe continues her story about how she and her oppa from church went on a date. They went ice skating and ate afterwards, however when he left to use the restroom, he didn’t come back for a while so she went outside where he was being bullied. Eun-Jae kicked all of the bullies’ butts, but her first love got so scared that he ran away from her. It seems like earlier, during the date, she was hiding her true self and being girly. She even snacked on some of the food before bringing it to the table just so she could pretend that she can’t eat those kinds of food well Mu-Yeol laughs at her love story and tells her that the oppa didn’t contact her anymore because she showed her strength in front of him (awww) and saw him at his most embarrassing moment. Mu-Yeol tells her to never do that to another guy that she likes and she mutters that she already did. Mu-Yeol starts his story, but she tells him that she doesn’t want to hear it. Other people’s love story makes her cringe and the only reason why she shared hers was because Mu-Yeol told her to. She decides to ask why Jong-Hee and him broke up instead, there must have been a problem and if that problem was resolved. She tries to dissuade him from starting over with Jong-Hee by saying how it would just be leftover feelings and a broken bowl can’t be put back together.We got our other favorite couple who are doing a stake out. They are spying at Yoon-Yi who got a new job at another bar. the key to why Yoon-Yi did this is in Yoon-Yi’s hands as he’s the one who knows the actual stalker. While Tae-Han tells her all this, Dong-Ah is busy putting on makeup and looking like a bar hostess. Tae-Han doesn’t understand why she’s doing all this and she replies that this is fun because this has nothing to do with her. She asks him to put on the fake eyelashes for her. She leans closer to him and he looks kind of nervous (hehe). She gets out of the car looking like a bombshell while Tae-Han leans back and wipes the forehead on his face It turns out Dong-Ah made a mistake about the job offer, they weren’t looking for more bar hostess, but help in the kitchen. Dong-Ah tells the Madam that she’ll do her best in any job that she is given. The woman asks if she even knows how to peel apples, Dong-Ah replies that she even knows how to make little bunnies. Dong-Ah struggles with the apples so Yoon-Yi tells her to peel the oranges instead while he peels the apples.Mu-Yeol’s running at the gym and Dong-Su passes by. Eun-Jae asks him why Jong-Hee and Mu-Yeol break up. It turns out Jong-Hee is bipolar so at times she can’t eat well and would feel nervous. One time, in Mu-Yeol’s third year, Mu-Yeol was at a training camp and Jong-Hee suddenly disappeared. Mu-Yeol went out to look for her without permission and the coach thought of him negatively. Eun-Jae now knows why his fourth year stats were so low. Jong-Hee decided to break up with Mu-Yeol since he was having a hard time. Mu-Yeol is watching Home Alone at his apartment and wonders who he can call to hang out with him. He decides to read and ends up falling asleep. He wakes up and decides to call Eun-Jae who’s also napping. She wakes up in an instant when she hears his voice over the phone. He asks her to come over and she’s super excited, but she decides to play it cool by saying she has things to read. Mu-Yeol tells her to come over before he changes his mind plus he’ll buy her good food. She quickly fumbles to find something to wear. She puts on some lip gloss before leaving.She gets to his house where she’s disappointed that they’re having delivery. Mu-Yeol tells her that a lot of restaurants are booked. He notices something’s on her lips so he wipes it off, but it turns out to be lip gloss. She’s trying new things since it’s Christmas.They have lots of drinks and she smiles happily that she was invited here. Mu-Yeol looks melancholic though.

Mu-Yeol: Gullhead, do you think about the oppa from church sometimes?

Eun-Jae: What?

Mu-Yeol: Your first love. The oppa from church.

Eun-Jae: What’s the point of thinking about him, he’s probably living well somewhere…what’s Jong-Hee doing?

Mu-Yeol: I don’t know.We cut to a scene where Jong-Hee is painting a small angel statue. Someone slides an envelope under the door of her house. Eun-Jae: Why didn’t you call her? You live so close to each other.

Mu-Yeol pats her head: Gullhead, what you said is right. We broke up because we had a problem. The same problem is still there. Do you…believe in fate? Right here (he points to his pinky), I heard that a red string is tied to the fateful person.

Eun-Jae: So what? Then, what about Elizabeth Taylor? Was she tied 3, 5 times?

Mu-Yeol: It isn’t about how many times a person gets married or dates. It’s not about whether the things go well for the couple or not. It’s not like that. Just…could she be the one? Stuff like that. Even after you break up with that person…and it’s ended, it’s still not over. It doesn’t seem like this is the end.

Eun-Jae: There’s no such thing. It’s just having leftover feelings.

Mu-Yeol: You’ll meet someone later too.

Eun-Jae: Even if I meet someone like that, it’s not fate. If we meet, we meet. If we break up, we’re done. What’s fate?

Mu-Yeol: There is fate. Everyone has one. People just let go because it’s tough.

Eun-Jae: I said there’s no such thing. Even a love that seems more important than death gets forgotten over time.

Mu-Yeol: What do you know about love?

Eun-Jae: You think I don’t know? I learned that love is critical when I was just 9.

Mu-Yeol: With who? Your neighbor?

Eun-Jae: My mom had an affair and our family was in chaos. Ahjummas would come and pull our mom’s hair, totally shamed by our neighborhood. But my dad said he’ll forgive her, he loved her. But my mom said she didn’t need anything, not even her kids. She packed and left because my mom loved that man. How could I not know love? I’m full of inherited genes for love like that! Listen, my mom, who believe that guy she had an affair with was her fate, ended up breaking up with that man. And my father, who has been waiting for my mom for 15 years, is meeting another woman now.The dad nervously waits at a restaurant table. A woman enters the room and it’s Eun-Jae’s mom! Eun-Jae: After not being able to forget for about 7 or 8 years, how can you talk about fate? How frustrating…

Mu-Yeol: Hey Gullhead, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so mad?

Eun-Jae: It is very troublesome to me if there is something you can’t forget.

Mu-Yeol: What is?

Eun-Jae: I don’t know where everything went wrong, but I started to like you.Mu-Yeol sits there speechless and she breaks the silence by saying she likes him again.

Eun-Jae: If there’s something called fate, my fate is you.Bam, and it ends though there’s a little tidbit of the cat ripping up the envelope that was placed under the door. At the back of the photo inside the envelope, there’s a sentence: “Please go back!”
