She definitely is in deep deep denial about her feelings, bc that these are present showed the scene where she lovingly smiled while thinking of TK and the TA remarked about that. Hence she is unaware of those feelings and of course the factor of relying on him only to be once more ripped away from that through the outer circumstances more than TK himself (bc lets be real, he adores the ground she is walking on now, heh.) But yeah that is definitely a reason why she is such a rush to secure her life without him.

Also i think her being not the most self-confident person is coming into play here, as she knows TK has a type and she is NOT that hence why she never even considered he could fall for her at all. Shows in the scene where the woman who had been TK's type to date before Yeondoo stole his heart, and thus she is only not interfering there but cheering him on.

I think it is about two months now, give or take. So they don't know each other for long at all, but have already through much together so it seems longer. Normal timeframe to realize liking/loving someone too imo.

is this machine translated? Feels off in wording. Also do you have the og text? May take a stab at translating it instead then.

So the breakup is not a breakup but them being apart for a while, actually. Which probably will help to figure things out on YD's part and them to find back together, so to speak. It all happens so fast tho, i am really wondering how the autor is gonna fill the remaining 30 episodes then lol.

A lot more narcoleptic napwitch bullshit, TK’s husband arc starts, however shortlived given next episode, but it is the best thing about this episode with how from zero to whipped he went in like 20 minutes tops xD So I am gonna focus on that and the leads, also because I am kinda strapped for time. Hence it will be even more incomplete than yesterday while I am probably screaming in 3k words about the leads and witch in spite. Lmao, buckle up friends

There is no time for TK to examine these old-new feelings as his phone rings, and Hyun Woo is to be collected drunk by TK in a taxi. More family bullshit with the eldest couple and them fighting, dunno why bc I have ceased listening and I don’t care in general, lol. Sourgrapes gets her hubby delivered into her bed and is not happy about it as he usually sleeps on the floor. Back in front of their room, TK’s heart goes into a frenzy and he cannot work up the nerves to enter. He lies down on the couch in front of the room instead. The next morning, he is hard to wake by YD finding him, but when he opens his eyes, her face is close to his and he is awake alright, with heartbeat on 180bpm and blushing and all. And it is not because he was startled if you know what I mean. Heh. He tries to slither out of couple yoga with YD even more eager to miss it, but to no avail due to firm parents, so both of them go to the course.

AND IT IS THE CUTEST SHIT because you just know the man is dying the death of thousand feels with every touch and look by her now. Taekyung is super self-aware and of her so so so so so close to him and sends out 30 desperate SOS signals a minute with his eyes alone. He is the kevin hart “help me, help meeee” meme personified here. Because his heart may give out any moment now and he is an overall blushy, awkward cutie in love which realization of it has hit him like a bullet between his eyes and he is still reeling from it. What cracked me up was the contrast between them during the exercises. Like Yeondoo is the most calm/relaxed person, finding her center as she While TK’s mind is narrating a full kdrama on its own. Aka “okay, okay Taekyung you got this. You can do this. Oh no, she is touching me. Stay calm, stay calm. And she is so close and… oh no I forgot to breathe. Yes, remember to breathe in and out. BREATHE. FOCU...What is her hand doing now? No no no! Stay calm, STAY FUCKING CALM AAAAAAAAH. And there we are losing him xD Her palm touching the back of his hand was so cute and left such an impression, or burn mark, heh, on him that he is still cradling the hand she touched after the yoga course is over. Sitting in a lounge he tries to reduce his heartbeat to normal human function and a water bottle is shoved into his face by a pretty woman who once was his type. And she coming on strong onto him. “First time here?” TK is a polite man so he feigns interest enough to reply.“Yes,” he replied but already checks off mentally. As did I because I only remember her asking “Is this a couple ring?” and points at the ring “No this is NOT a couple ring! It is a wedding ring and there is my wife and I am going to be a father as well.”

HOLD THE HORSES. What is happening? Outside of YD seeing him sitting there with pretty lady and turns into his wingwoman wishing luck and rushing along to give them space. And Taekyung being very much offended by that. What? Is this the same man who hated marriage, who shuddered at the thought of being tied down by a ring? Woah. His metamorphosis from bachelor to whipped husband went faster than any damn butterfly in a cocoon hahahaha. This guy does not know in betweens, nope all or nothing it is and right now HE IS ALL IN. All eggs in one basket as we say in Mr. Queen hehehe. Pretty lady is confused by his statement because there is no wife, but it is effective so she buggers off, along with that bottle of water. "Weirdo. Could have just said no instead." 😂

Back in the car, TK is a pouty boi, but YD notices. “Are you angry?” “Did you not see me with that person?” he answered, totally not angry of course. “I saw you both, this is why I went out of your both ways. Isn’t she the type of woman you like… all glamorous and …” the big breast motions complete the sentence. And omg he is so offended that she is not jealous and worse did not seem to care. His husband arc gets stronger and stronger this episode. “What are you saying? I am your husband and Jinjja’s dad, have you forgotten that i have to play this role convincingly? (sure because playing the role is the issue here) Please don’t do this again.” She apologizes for misunderstanding but the man is still saddened and frustrated by the lack of care shown by his WIFE, yes capital letters, because this is how he sees her now. She suggests to go eat carrot cake that she likes, but nope pouty man does not want cake and he hates carrot cake in general, hmpf. But due the sheer fact of being wrapped around her fingers, he gives in to the request. Oh gosh, if this is not a perfect example of how their future married for real dynamic is gonna be, I dunno what is. Whipped man is whipped and we love to see it. But of course there is a phonecall interrupting and like a motherhen watching her eggs he listens to with whom she is talking. Seems to be the TA so she is booking it out of there, ditching her not husband like a puppy next to the motorway. Same expression in his face when he watches her leave, too.

More side-character things, meh, so lets summarize quickly. New love interest for Hyun Woo? JH is definitely brought up further along in their talks but I actually not care overly much what it is about in detail, while phony pony thinks of TK and smiles and I wanna barf. They really make her fall for him for real, uuuuugh. Time to get a restraining order, Taekyung. More storyline between uncle and old flame in their restaurant and a costumer complaining up a storm which sounds like a filthy scam but it put into place by the part timer.

YD helps the TA with files gone awry, while husband of the year is sulking in his office about her still not being there for her checkup. Helps to have a ob/gyn hubby, i guess? Either way sulky man is sulky. In a later scene she has dozed off during said research work or whatever and a worried TK is calling her because he has not seen her for a full hour. Can’t have that xD The TA picks up and TK goes into full husband mode, a jealous one at that “Who are you?” “I just picked up YD's phone who are you then?” And it is Taekyung’s time to shine: Who I am? And huffs as tho the question is the most stupid thing heard all day. “I am her HUSBAND, of course!” (the way he emphasizes husband, I cant xD) TA apologizes bc he did not know that he is the husband bc he is (still) saved under Gong Taekyung only and TK suddenly hates that fact. “She fell asleep for the moment.” TK hears that and is ready to run out of his office to her on foot to carry her home, if needed, already half-throwing off his doctor uniform. How did we get here, my man? I really thought it would be a process that takes longer but he went to ultra whipped in no time at all instead, wow. TA calms down a disproportional distressed husband in saying she was just tired and he will let her know of the call so she can call back later. Not Taekyung being jealous she bc is working with a guy, lmao. Time for a break indeed and he leaves.

The camera stays panned on his phone so you know who is coming to read all your secrets like the fucking creep she is? Yes, madame restraining order to be entering the scene, first the clinic than his office and makes a beeline to his phone. As I was saying 50% of problems in kdrama could be solved by leads just putting away their damn phones and the others by locking the doors in the first place. Phony pony reads the incoming messages of YD, one harmless one talking about breakup/moving things along to end things. So now smug snail is having something to work with, and I wish for once they would catch her being a creep with peoples phones but naaah can’t have that (yet) TK comes back sipping a destressing coffee after nearly having gone to war to retrieve his wife and finds miss restraining order where she not belongs of course. Reading the text messages puts him in an even more foul mood than that broad’s presence. He strings her along to the cake shop and she asks why he buys that when he hates that cake, he replies MY WIFE LOVES IT, or at least this is what I hear whenever he talks now xD That face she makes at that hahahahahahaha, I love his “head empty only yeondoo” era sm. “we wanted to come here and eat it earlier but could not so I am buying it for my WIFE now since my WIFE loves to eat it. I take it to go, so I can see my WIFE quickly when I bring it to her, but you can stay/sit down and eat if you like” He even takes a taxi to be faster omg, I love this man in his husband of the year arc xD

Sourgrapes and husband still have beef and TK tries to call his wife but does not go through and man is getting more and more frustrated. “Should she not be at home already? Did something happen?” And she is, in fact, at home, together with his mom at the dinner table, without greeting him, gasp. So he enters in a storm of petty and snatches the cake from them “I didn't buy this for you, yeondoo, I am gonna eat it.” His mother is all confused bc this is not something he likes, but he doubles down “I love this cake very much okay?” From today on!" he emphasizes into YD’s direction another time. Oh he is so petty and offended, like a twelve years old that god grounded haha. He walks off in a huff and YD follows to their room. Where he goes full on husband on her with complaining how she missed her checkup and if work is more important than Jinjja and he is not jealous at all for her having spent all day with the TA instead of him, nope, not at all 😂 And he grumps about his number being saved so impersonally on her phone instead of husband so people know when her HUSBAND is calling (because they have to keep the cover, you know 😏) and it is overall pretty wild what importance those things have to him all the sudden, aww. She manages to placate him and tells him he has not saved her as wife either.

Sourgrapes still is pissed off but that is nothing new but basically all the couples are fighting and mom/dad call for an intervention hahaha. Oldest couple is leading it, split into men and women team and they talk out their grievances, with YD even bonding over their wayward husbands haha. TK does not feel appreciated enough by wifey for sure. Older bro is not impressed that they fight about such small things, so he grounds them to a night in the annex with candlelight. They wake up there next morning and part ways, things still unresolved. YD is out and about securing her future without TK and tells him not to wait for her today (I think)

Granny is visiting old school and is certainly the most colorful new student,in both clown clothes and demeanor, but when she sees who the principal is she passes out haha. MY has her first day as intern and ofc they plan to scout her bf’s to be little daughter. Oh my. Banshee whines and I am not willing to listen to the screeching but she is already regretting the divorce it seems. It is about time daddy dearest will fess up about everything. Like yesterday.

YD is moving things along to get away from TK as if he is the worst person to be around with, and I have as much understanding for it like TK reading her happy go lucky progress messages to him with what she has achieved concerning that so far. No wonder he ends up drinking, he fully believes that his affection for her is one-sided bc she cannot get away from him quickly enough and it saddens him. Banshee screeches the coordinates of the bar through the phone to her offspring. I have no idea what form that is that is hiding sloppily as in ok enters, but she still urges her to make up with him. Sad fact is he almost saved her as wife on his phone and then reconsidered so when she calls futility it displays still YD’s full name. TK is drinking himself until he passes out and has generally no patience for snakey snakes let me hear you problems I am your frieeeend like snake ka in the jungle book inclusive same bored stare into his soul bc the actress has just one expression, whoops. Gets nothing out of him except to bring him home via taxi, and gets closer to him than it is by far comfortable RESTRAINING ORDER NOW. Much to her dismay the one name falling from his drunken lips is Yeondoo’s as he falls asleep. Even drunk af she is all he thinks about, aww.

Back home, YD has the brilliant idea to leave the room with Cruella alone inside with TK on the bed, so ofc the first thing this kleptomaniac does is steal the phone before YD returns to care for hubby. Outside she unlocks it and finds old messages what she thinks is incriminating YD for being unfaithful and I am just pause here to let the irony sink in for you all. Her smug face is meant to be infuriating and for once the actress does her job without falling asleep so kudos where it belongs.

Back to the leads, Taekyung wakes up to find YD in front of him, and gives her the saddest saddest puppy eyes. Aww, AJH’s has such expressive eyes you really see the sadness/disappointment/pain within. “Why are you looking at me like that?” “Why are you rushing so much? Why do you want to end things so quickly? In a tone that makes it even obvious to klutz YD that he does not want this, and instead her to stay. “Do you like me?” And there we have it, most likely a confession next week but also preview is rather grim with them fighting and breaking up it seems since he moves back to the hotel. The only thing I am surprised with is… how fast the writer is moving things along. Like TK went from having feelings to husband for real (in his mind) in one episode and YD rushing things to divorce on the other spectrum with them both never meeting in the middle, alas. I really had thought we would see this whole break up, then recognizing how much they mean to each other and life without the other is not fun anymore (where TK surprisingly arrived already) and thus fighting for each other to be together around episode 25-30 or so, lol. But it seems as though it happens way earlier with the ball now in YD’s field, as she has to act and figure out what she is feeling and where to go from there. I also read she is sus of madame restraining order, next week so I hope for a good arc here as annoying the following episodes are going to be.

Clownie does not matter much in the grand scheme of things, she has done so many rookie mistakes already it is only a matter of time till it bites her harder than a pitbull. Hence I am not worried, but it does need some willful ignoring of the lead’s stupidity I admit. I for my part just roll with whatever gonna come bc I know our lead couple will reign supreme in the end. Also It is so so so delicious how madame mental thinks herself of sitting in a mansion, sipping victory champagne when in truth her ass is currently planted in a to be demolished, crooked ruin with water leaking from the ceiling and all the things she done is the wrecking ball that is gonna tearing it down with its impact. Mark my words :D

very late takeaways, episode 18 bc this episode was a mess but a fun one, lol. I focus on the leads and TK's husband era only tho

This just in: Man who hated marriage declares proudly being married to everyone not quick enough to flee his words, several times a day.

50% of the problems in kdramas in general could have been solved when the leads would lock their damn doors and the other 50 when they take their damn phones with them when they leave ngl 😂 Also i have my text messages locked down so no one can read the content in the notifier. You gotta unlock the phone to do that. Highly recommend that to all kdrama characters everywhere as well.

the way he emphasized on NAMPYEON on the phone i am cackling. Not to mention the whole cake-gate tho , he was so offended 😂

He is definitely feeling the love. Sadly not from Yeondoo's side as he wants her to now. I just want to give him a hug this episode tbh, poor guy feels so unloved by wifey haha

hence why i am saying that people should have some patience to weather the now incoming annoying parts as in the grand scheme of things clownie toddler ain't matters much. She has done too many Level one mistakes already for the supposed mastermind this drama wants to sell me this dish rag as. Hence only a matter of time until it all comes crashing down on her. This writer here sees what that kdrama writer is doing tbh. And then we are the ones sipping victory champagne 🥂 🍾 😎

Hah, i love ironic afternoon poetry 😁

I definitely see why he is getting drunk now tho, but as it seems it is at the end of the episode to tie into the next. Definitely more delulu clown nonsense today, ugh.

okay now to summarize this mess, lol. Ask me about it in a few hours tho 😂

ikr? 😂 AJH definitely ate up today's episode, tho with his line delivery and micro-expressions and his tk jealous husband arc haha

his husband arc definitely had started now, with him acting truly like one with a wife who does not appreciate him enough and him complaining about it 😂 He went from zero to whipped in record time, i swear.

Not TK avoiding YD like she is an evil spirit, bc now whenever he now sees her his heart goes into a frenzy 😂

Yeah, it is obvious that the duo from hell will try to wreck things for the leads at some point but i actually expect this more to be the case post birth, whenever that will be episode-wise. For now JH is more a problem for phony pony tbh. Also we are like 99% gonna see YD and TK marrying for love and him becoming the legal father (as i read this is possible by either paternal acknowledgement, affiliation or adoption under SK law)

Hence the marriage may happen either briefly before or after birth, but this makes always a good final/ending for a show so who knows heh. Important is signing the damn registration papers for it being legally valid, nothing else. And both families will come to love Jinjja no matter what. But what trial and tribulations are between that... idk, we gotta see and wait how the writer handles it. It is not really a high stakes story certainly so i expect us going off the rails sometimes to keep viewers engaged, lol.

Oooooh but of course she will. Ngl, I actually expect him to say the things out loud then he normally can't. But like in a lovingly harmless way that gives phony pony nothing but frustration 😂Like how much he likes YD and wants to stay forever with her, that he hated marriage before meeting her but no longer and that he loves Real and is gonna be the best father for them. Just wholesome, lovey doveystuff that gets lying lyra's blood pressure on 200 out of frustration. 😂😂😂

Aww you are so kind saying this 😘

I rather think she assumes they are struggling, either with arguments or with intimacy, so couple yoga for them it is. Something where they have to work together and touch each other a lot. What a smart woman and captain of our ship 🛳 😁😁😁
