At least Haneul's bullshit detector is working as perfectly as always

Be prepared to do so as in episode 40 you will be forced to forget anything what howler monkey did ever happened. 🙈🙈🙈

Haha thanks glad you liked my frustration and the many ways I screamed into my keyboard 😂😂😂

I really think this was the og script for 34/35 we did not get due to those useless stupid changes for quote/aaaangst and they just modified it to account for the timejump mania and baby. Everything about this episode felt like a direct follow up to episode 33 tbh since inok Was meant to come around quickly originally.

Car seat is janky but I think the baby girl is old enough to not need extra support for the neck when being carried. Like she is supposed to be 7 months old and I think baby sol irl who is Haneul in the show is around the same age

eeeh different situation now, isn't it? He is not married any longer, so my guess is rather that BJH is keeping it low due to being in a relationship with an acting colleague (ML in the recent Bora Deborah, forgot his name) but who knows

Oh exactly. We have seen YD open with intimacy/affection exactly five minutes in the first episode when she went into that hotel room of that trashbug and greeted him very enthusiastically, was cheeky with him before the cheating came out.

I really thought she would open up more when TK/YD live together in the haneul era, aka getting some couple moments since the lie nor pregnancy is longer between them but nada. It is/was disappointing how everything was focused on pleasing their damn toxic fams instead of, well... pleasing each other.

... I see myself out.😂

Yep textbook. Along with "I am here to take/collect what is mine" 🤮

😂 😂 😂 which is why i am gonna repeat this mantra till next weekend:

As long it gets the leads married. As long it gets the leads married. As long it gets the leads married. As long it gets the leads married. As long it gets the leads married. As long it gets the leads married. As long it gets the leads married. As long it gets the leads married. As long it gets the leads married. As long it gets the leads married.

Yep, it is in the preview, with fams having a little outing at BN's restaurant with a big ceremony likely to follow at the very end. But yes finally LEGALLY married, (which is gonna be important for any annoying custody dispute to come)

Even wedding night is implied to happen between them and maybe a sibling for haneul already, lol.

b-but magical family hugs 🥺🥺🥺🥺

(srsly tho, best to skip to their marriage reg next week ;) ) Also eps 39 with granny was rather fun, lol.

thank you, i had, umm not a good time with this episode in case that was unclear lmao. But you know as long it gets the leads married after 84 felt years i don't even care anymore lmao

Just watch including eps 32, skip eps 33 -39 and resume watching at eps 40 and you will have a much better time with the drama. Watch clips of the corresponding episodes on twitter or youtube, if you need to fill in some blanks.

But yeah you will definitely not miss anything of value since eps 40 basically did a full reset back to eps 32 storywise (except it is a year later and there is now a baby) with pressing the button on inok's back that turned off the screechy demon mode through a long magical healing hug. Yes, i also wish i was joking 😂

Read my summary for lulzies maybe, bc i was really having a sardonic streak with it today. But the relevant part regarding the airhead couple from it is:

Did his fam figure out he is dating someone? I hope so, if unlikely, since they probably drag this stupidity out till YD/TK’s actual wedding ceremony in the end episode(s) aka

“Hey my sis is getting married today. Or rather she already registered her marriage."
"Oh so is my brother, and his marriage is also already legally registered, but we celebrate the ceremony today."
"We too. Huh what are the chances? "
"Weird right? Haha."

And then they meet there, spiderman pointing meme, and find out they share a family/are actual inlaws already (since, as said, YD/TK actually register their marriage next week) over a YEAR of dating later. Wanna bet? 😂

Yeeeeah, would be the best approach imo, no joke. :D

Welcome to another round on the bullshit carousal, eps 40 edition. Episode 39 was wholesome but did little to stop howler monkey’s screeching like in the past 6 eps, so I am tired of entertaining this demon. But since I know we get a magical family reunion with all forgiven and forgotten at the end, uuuuugh I would advice any new watcher of the drama (bless their souls) to watch halfway thru eps 32 and then skip to eps 40 directly with nothing of value being lost, except cute baby haneul/appa taekyung scenes tbh. Well lets see then how the 1000 monkeys on their 1000 typewriters will get us to the magical all is well end of this episode, shall we?

First scene is just a repetition of last eps but with the twist that sourgrapes hadn’t ratted them out to howler monkey, she, just like in every kdrama overheard it and sourgrapes, well, being sour to be left out in their cute little fam shoot/party. What are you all doing here, she screeches, and I still reply: Have a jolly great time. Momzilla flips her shit and leaves in a huff after insulting everyone, first at TK’s then in the vampire den. I am tired. Moving on.

With all her wha wha wha crying, it just hit me what would have made Inokitler’s bipolar screeching and hurt believable and that is NOT HAVING A TIMESKIP OF A YEAR and having her be and act the same as though she heard the news of the leads lie just yesterday, but that are writer monkeys for you I guess.

Driver Kim be like now I have to endure this hysterical cow all the way to the fam resort, great xD Cry harder, unbearable. And now TK confessing to YD that he told his mom after she carted YD off to the rotten bastard to live separately as some shocking news and cardinal sin. I need to apologize/talk to her right away. And I need you to find a backbone, YD. Ugh. Sad music as screechy hyena wanders thru the empty halls of the fam resort and I hope she stays there eternally, on her own. But since this is a family drama with little to no consequences for any wrongdoings of any characters outside of the leads bending backwards always, you know it won’t happen. The rest is the shittiest scavenger hunt ever, to find out where howler monkey planted her hysteric paws. Why the hell did TK/YD move into this dingy annex when there is a wholeass mansion at the sea? Make it make sense.

More whining and wailing of the show trying to make me feel sorry for momzilla inane antics, but I could not care less, sad music in spite. Patrick is there but that never makes a difference anyway. Moving on.

Lol, you notice immediately when haneul is a doll instead baby sol, like here. And the prob is quickly stored away in Grannys room by appa taekyung in a new fetching baby carrier as they hold a family meeting I guess. Yeondoo feels bad again, and over-empathizes with mom monster but what else is new.

AINT NOBODY GOT TIME FOR AIRHEAD COUPLE. SKIP. Sourgrapes is sour and arguing with no spine hubby, but what else is new. Next is another pointless round of blame game and how they all wronged momzilla (THE WHAT NOW????) but at least baby sol is there instead of the prob so I am content in watching her and AJH/Taekyung interact hehehe. Him holding her hand thru it all is the cutest. This man was born to be a father, ngl. Airhead sis comes in and Haneul immediately starts fussing and crying. I love her build in bullshit detector regarding people, bless. Patrick comes in too, and instead to melt with the wall he actually says words in a family meeting whoa. More than he had done for about um, 6 eps now? Lol. He plans to move out and together with insane wife and I can only say… good fucking luck you need it. Better find a nice wall to melt into soon again.

DW makes SK promise to not go into the cafe again bc conflicts are icky I guess? Whatever.

Our no touch couple, aka the leads shares a bed (looking uncomfortable doing so) and a lot of self-flagellation of how it all is the fault of the fake marriage and they should not have done this and I feel we time-traveled back a year in the plot except they live now together in an apartment and there is a baby, but otherwise we have eps 33 again, how….errr nice. Hence the inok pity party continues as well and won’t stop till the magical all is well solution of hugging it all out happens I guess.

Gotta say I cackled when suddenly the doorbell rang thru the silence of self-pity and the demon went to the door to see YD standing there, smiling, and promptly shut the door again. Lmao, talk about unintentional comedy. Yeondoo is using Haneul as unwilling entry pass (baby girl looks as tho she would prefer to stay home, lmao) into the fam resort to change her diaper. She calls soon to be (again?) hubby to give him an update, but of course he stays worried. Momzilla hammers at the door wants to throw out YD but she says heh the baby is sleeping can’t leave (really with all the door banging?) and YD wants to cook dinner for whatever reasons, taking all the abuse thrown at her like a good obedient dog. Yay, gotta love korean filial piety on steroids (I doubt modern day koreans would do this, not to this extreme) NEXT.

Bongnim definitely likes Ho, as she thinks back on his blunder of shooting her down and is sad about it, but given the preview and brainless broad stirring up trouble (for herself) I doubt it will last. I think DW has his first working day or something I could not care less. Did his fam figure out he is dating someone? I hope so, if unlikely, since they probably drag this stupidity out till YD/TK’s actual wedding ceremony aka “hey my sis is getting married today. Oh so is my brother huh what are the chances? Weird right? Hahahaha. And then they meet there, spiderman pointing meme, over a YEAR of dating later. Just you wait for it) Bullshit fairy has arrived at the Oh house and DS my fave man is the first to connect the dots. His face lmao. It is pretty rich how bongnim always always saves all the vitriol and energy to be toxic for her daughter and taekyung instead to unload it onto the hellspawns when needed. Nope there she is the most meek lamb, fully flustered by any of her/his words, stammering her way out of the obligatory cafe scene. My eyes cannot roll further back into my skull. Aaaand in episode 40 BN gets the shocking news that hellspawn is Jo’s daughter, dun dun dun. Would have been more effective like five eps ago, but we were too busy watching howler monkey wail the song of her ape tribe I guess D: BN is shooketh, cool cool.

For once the nurse is announcing a visitor without them barging into TK’s office and he is like :O what at the news of the wall deco of a father visiting him. Must be the first in a year I suppose, bc Patrick is too damn passive to do anything. Hence I am super surprised by him remembering he HAS a son, instead to lickspittle every of his wife’s insane words. “You should have called before coming, father” Yeah would be less of a shock to TK that Patrick actually gives a shit. TK is still using honorifics when talking to him btw. Oh since this is the obligatory family reunion scene I guess Patrick remembers to apologize to TK now? Cool. Basically, your mother went insane… err gave you such a hard time and I did fuckall, just like all the decades ago. Sorry about that. We cool now? Not realty but that is what I gather from this lmao. In reality it is meant for them to come to a better understanding and Patrick being like thumbs up re: Yeondoo, I guess.

Back in the vampire den where bloodlines having the utmost importance, we have big bro and sourgrapes battle it out who has hurt momzilla’s fee fees the most. Riveting. Moving on. Now Granny feels bad for the mom monster but YD calls her to ask for a favor. Probably to bring her food since maid YD wants to bow down accordingly to the idiotic whims of this lunatic. Perfect. Completely healthy and normal. Sure, cook her manic majesty dinner, why don’t ya. Better call an exorcist not granny, YD, bc I feel you will need them very soon when the demon wails her next song of self-pity and hurt fee fees. Right now YD is more a demon to howler monkey,one she cannot banish bc it always comes back, smiling, ready to do all of her bidding. YD is basically just like my responsibilities. I can avoid them for a time, but they always return, never leave me fully alone lmao
I don’t care for her tantrum but the waste of food is criminal. You saved Haneul, blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah this all would have been very impactful IF IT WERE NOT A YEAR LATER AND THIS BITCH STILL WAILING about what happened a FUCKING YEAR AGO AS IF IT WERE YESTERDAY FOR FUCKS SAKE. SHUT THE FUCK UP I BEG YOU. GET MENTAL HELP FFS. I REFUSE TO SUMMARIZE THIS NONSENSE BEHAVIOR ANY FURTHER.

Family arrives and I guess now is the time to hug it all out instead to treat this mental illness of momzilla professionally bc family drama I guess. Lmao I was joking but they ACTUALLY HUG IT OUT. Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, what a clown show I am laughing while they are wailing all their tearful song of apology. Ridiculous. Even Yeondoo, the jesus of all self-flagellation was like yeah that is too much I am out of here. Bye xD Hubby waited for her and drives her and their kid home as it should be lol. Or rather she is going to her mom for some fam time of her own, I guess. Haneul is still the cutest.

Another scene of the gongs, no longer wailing at least, where they urge ex-momzilla (I guess?) to give her approval to the leads since they are madly in love with each other etc etc etc No longer howling but still a stupid monkey inok puts on her thiniking cap at that, processing this brand new information. Cool. Next.

Lmao, airhead bro, uncle and SK fawning over Haneul is reather cute, each vying for her attention to play with her. Lol not BN being like why are you here, have you broken up with Taekyung again???? Nah I just wanted to visit my family calm down moooom xD Them sleeping on a bedding together with the kid is rather cute (bn, haneul and yeondoo) BN tells her at last that she is glad Haneul exists and is here, aww. Back in her own room she calls jangho and tells him she is gonna quit old school, I see avoidance and running away from conflicts runs into the family.

The og mother banshee (who has been given a run for her money by inok lately) still does her ex hubbies laundry, and I fear his character is subjected to a family reunion bc hugging out our problems and grinning them away is now the approach of this drama, it seems. Delulu debbie tells that the woman Jangho spent time with is YD’s mom. Aaaaaand the screeching and moaning is back, my poor ears. More of it by the clay-brained lobster as the shitstain calls and sings a song of too many oh yeondoo in one sentence or two so she loses her shit. Since both are cut off from having any info about what the gongs doing which honestly should have happened 10 eps ago too. Do we get manic sasaeng in action after all, trying to harm yeondoo since everyone is talking/wanting a piece only of her not poor trashbarbie? Lol. We will see. The creep gets an ominous message from a lady who writes in casual speech, and I swear if they make mystery lady now ttalgi and him related to the gongs after all because we all need to hug it out I am gonna LOSING IT.

TK has probably the first normal phone call with his momster in a year and aww healing aww whatever. Patrick apologizes to his wife afterwards bc sure that broad needs even MORE apologies but I don’t even care at this point. She comes out of her room with the gongs all being there and being hugged by airhead sis/daughter, and with that the last 7 episodes have never happened. It was all a bad dream yall and Inok always that gentle self you see now on screen, smiling. I mean, that is nice that announcement of them all planning to apologizing to Taekyung because THEY BETTER FUCKING DO. I hope they spare some for Yeondoo and the kid too. Sourgrapes calls her mother the first time, and they all hold hands singing and dancing and awwww whatever.

I swear this is really like a full reset back to episode 34/35 and what we should have seen from Inok instead of whatever revenant level possession we gotten for excruciating 8 episodes almost, to the detriment of my poor ears. What a giant waste of story time, space, pacing and character ordeals/suffering being rendered obsolete when all it took was one big hug to press the reset button on the back of inok to turn off the screeching mode. THEY REALLY SHOULD HAVE DONE THIS SOONER FFS

Lmao inok really comes back in there to YD fam a la hey how you all doing, long time no see? At least we get a bow and a mild inkling of apology? Well whatever gets the leads married I take it by now srsly. She calls BN inlaw again so YD/TK GET YOUR PAPERS READY I SWEAR BY GOD IF YOU HAVE THEM NOT ALL WITH YOU WHEN IT COUNTS I MA MURDER YOU THRU THE SCREEN… ahem. Oh nice the child she cursed only 7 eps ago and wanted to barter off like cattle to this abusive pos ummm, last week (!!!!) is now her beloved granddaughter. Haneul looks as uncomfortable in her arms as I am with it. But whatever gets the leads married. I am keeping this as my chant to get thru it all now lmao. I am crying along with BN and YD tbh bc I don’t feel like laughing. I love how Haneul does not like Inok HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I love this girl and her build in bullshit detector regarding people (no wonder she is always the happiest child with TK bc he is too good too pure, heh)

I think the nicest bit of the whole episode is Taekyung’s reaction when he gets the news that well he fucking finally can get married after 84 felt years. Like the man is totally 25 kilo lighter with all the weight that fell off his shoulders there, aww. Granny is raining on his parade of relief tho bc she tells him to stay home bc she is about to arrive, when he wants nothing more than run to his little fam. Which proves his whole HANEUL WAIT FOR ME APPA IS COMING TO YOU RIGHT AFTER chant right after. Hahaha, so cute. I feel by now he wants to be a dad more even than husband haha. That little giggle of his at the end is so adorable but you just know since the episode ends that someone is about to ruin his day and it is not halmeoni. And the bastard is already in starting position to take on that role uuuuugh

Sack of shit meets granny and introduces himself once more, and she is like why is this garbage pile talking to meee? HOW DAAAARE and she continued to be the gangster in this drama as she is lmao beating him with her cane and I admit I replayed this scene way too many times. She also calls him bastard for all the things he did to Yeondoo aaaaaand entrance of Taekyung of course but granny is still focused on her intent to throw it down right here and now with this cockroach. SLAY GRAN SLAYYYYY.

I ignore the idiotic part of the preview which is cockroach having haneul who immediately cries for help as her bullshit detector is running amok. Someone save her, bc legally he would have nooooooooo right at all but yeeeah. But hey lets focus on the WEDDING REGISTRATION bc it has been 84 years and now it becomes truth at long last. Yeondoo and Taekyung legally married holy shit that I still live to see the day after yelling for it since eps 22 basically many eons ago, lmao. So next week we finally get to see their kinda awkward more platonic partnership change into a full-fledged romantic relationship, at long last with the wedding night. And lol, maybe even baby no. 2 already, then Taekyung’s beyond any shadow of doubt lol. Because well, YD is, err, kinda fertile since Haneul also just used one try hahaha. But yeah I just want them stop being awkward turtles around each other bc it is painful at this point, and finally act like a married couple with small touches and loving gestures that show they are actually in love and appreciating each other in all regards hehe. But yeah time to bring the monkeys back into their cages so they can write up the next episode, or rather the legal part of it, if the preview hold up in inanity. We will see. I need to unstuck my eyes from the back of my skull first. See you next weekend friends.

Takeaways of episode 40, aka magical fam hugging healing or how do i unstuck my eyes from the back of my skull now??? The sardonic/sarcasm level is 9000 this time due to the big IT WAS ALL JUST A DREAM-ESQUE reset we just did, so enjoy?

according to all the screeching she did? Not unlikely xD

yeah that is now the only explanation i accept for the sudden change. Revenant like possession.

Np. if you are missing details you can always go to twitter to fill in blanks with the many clips there available. But better to save you around 7 hours of your life time in skipping lol.
