I think that's bound to happen now. This will alienate the chairman now, until he finds out the Dong Truth. It will put Aunty Dong in a tough position though.

The more I think about it, the more I like it. This whole career excuse was so she could start a new life with another man, who probably didn't want to be a step-dad too. It makes sense. They found someone they could pay-off to act as a handy witness and told them to just wait if anyone ever comes asking.

I'm shocked we get a shot of her in motion. Is it just me, or is she still a dead-ringer for the accident victim???? I need to find that episode and re-watch it. Was that actress even given a screen credit?

Nice job of cutting your own throat, Little Dong. You Dummy! How clueless is that guy?

I think we were robbed of the obligatory shot of her mangled feet walking into the water.

I didn't catch the same bag/clothes she left with. So, she planned the fake suicide all along as an insurance policy if anyone came looking for her? Did she really leave to go abroad, or did she find another man she actually fell in love with and just used the whole career thing as an excuse because she didn't have the guts to divorce KS and leave her kid behind? This was pretty well planned then, since the only belonging that was 'left behind' was the wallet, which couldn't be placed in the time-line.

What I missed was if they said WHEN the river incident occurred? How many years ago was it?

You can take that one to the bank. It will be fun to speculate just how that happens.

Gosh, actually a meaningful episode (despite the fact we know she's not really dead) and surprisingly fast-paced.

The funeral scene was the best one in the entire series, I think. Well shot & scripted. But I wish, instead of his speech at the end, he had just stopped after he wished he hadn't looked for her and flung the flower into the river. I think that would have been more powerful. I did like his Dad comforting him and the MIL. Next week looks pretty eventful too, for DH/MR, let's hope.

And I guess the "will" was actually a suicide note? She planned this out pretty well, even using old-looking paper for the will, but wouldn't the lack of a body be a big red-flag? Will be interesting to see if there is a followup with the detective assigned to the case. And of course, she's still out there and so is her picture on countless boxes, so there has to be more calls to the call center, right?

But Grandpa telling MR to marry just before she tells her mom why they're breaking up? Sheeesh, the melodrama!

It's been a loooooong week....

I was really kind of hoping that his character would be developed and he was brought in, so that on his first day of work there, he'd be surprised that YJ wasn't there too and would do some digging into why she was not hired (and eventually this would lead us to SJ, in hiding and working at that Cosmetic firm).

The writing on this show is so pointless - to bring him in and give him airtime to accomplish absolutely nothing. GRRRRR

This whole deal about a will is so odd. If she was ill enough to have made out her will, knowing that she would die, then her death would have been attended to by medical personnel who would have pronounced her and filed the Death Cert. Or, if in an accident, this would be done by an LEO or paramedic (at least that's how it is here in Calif). So the will is meaningless since they've never found a DC for her, UNLESS it's because she was using a fake name. This smells of phony drama to keep us going. When they said this woman had her "belonging" I pictured a box of SJ's possessions that could unmistakenly be verified as SJs by KS or family.

I'll give the writers some credit here: It was a really nice touch to put the age-enhanced picture of her on the carton. We really should have had a scene where a woman (seen from the back) picks up the carton and recoils in horror, dropping it and running out of the store.

Unless he's the guy she's been seeing on the side that she's keeping under wraps, and not HoSik?

"My perfect ending to this stupid search is for a man to call and ask why they are looking for his wife. 😱😱😱"

That would be a perfect cliffhanger ending on a friday episode!!!

That's been the hallmark of this show.

He just asked (without context) "Is it because of KS?"

I gotta admit, that prank call was pretty funny. I could just picture a Korean Bart Simpson at the other end.

I just rewatched it, and yeah, that sarcastic smirk was 100% out of character. Like Lunkera said, 'dumb writers'. It's like they cut something out from the show we haven't seen.

What was really strange is that is was totally out of character for KS to say that. Being like "yeah, whatever" isn't anything I'd ever hear him say, least of all if it concerned protecting JD. JUST WEIRD.
