I love Joon-ho. I want a whole episode of him and Soon-shin. But I didn't get it. There was a rather anticlimactic truth reveal and Mi-ryeong is trying to be human. She needs to try harder.

AGB Nielsen Nationwide had this episode coming in at 27.9%.

"Lee Soon-sin is the Best" is directed Yoon Seong-sik by and written by Jeong Yoo-kyeong and features Lee Ji-eun, Cho Jung-seok, Go Doo-shim and Lee Mi-sook.

Episode 32 recap

Drunk Gil-ja is hysterical over "fox-like" Yoo-shin marrying Chan-woo. She refuses to let them marry and storms away. Yoo-shin can only stand absolutely shocked.

Afterwards, she has to confront her family who is angry that she didn't tell them that the person she wanted to marry was Chan-woo. Yoo-shin promises to figure everything out with Gil-ja. Granny laments over how rude Gil-ja was and won't approve the marriage. And she wants Jung-ae to quit the shop.

Mi-ryeong forces Soon-shin to continue the interview, but Soon-shin is unable to make herself smile. She keeps hearing Granny disown her in her mind. When they're through, Soon-shin tries to leave right away, but Mi-ryeong stops her. She shows Soon-shin her new bedroom where she will sleep some in the future. Soon-shin doesn't even step foot in the room and Mi-ryeong explains that this is her house now, too.

Soon-shin leaves. I don't blame her. Mi-ryeong is pushing and forcing and not listening. Who'd want to live there?

Mi-ryeong drinks and asks Hwang why Soon-shin hates her. He advises her not to rush things. Mi-ryeong broods over Soon-shin only talked about Jung-ae. Hwang suggests just telling Soon-shin the whole truth, but Mi-ryeong fears Soon-shin will truly hate her.

Hrm...I vote for hating. I'm all for hating.

Hwang says that Mi-ryeong became weak, but Mi-ryeong swears to have Soon-shin look at her the same way Soon-shin looks at Jung-ae. Uh...try raising her for 25 years and truly loving her.

Soon-shin rushes home and tries to explain about the interview, but Jung-ae won't listen. Hye-shin explains that something else happened while she was away. She heads upstairs to talk to Yoo-shin who immediately tells her to just live with Mi-ryeong. Soon-shin tries to explain that she did the interview for the family. Then she sincerely congratulates Yoo-shin who only says that she'll marry and take care of Jung-ae and Granny. Soon-shin should just worry about herself and go to Mi-ryeong.

I hate this. Everyone treats her badly. She needs to marry Joon-ho! He will treat her well!

Yoo-shin says that she's being sincere, that Soon-shin needs to find her own way. She just needs to do it so Jung-ae can't see. Guh, some sincerity.

Chan-woo's family gathers and Chan-woo scolds Gil-ja for grabbing Yoo-shin's collar. Gil-ja says she wanted to beat her up. Bok-man scolds her for doing it in front of Granny. But Gil-ja is adamant about Yoo-shin being a fox and rude. Chan-woo stands firm and says he won't change his mind, so she should. He leaves and Bok-man supports Yoo-shin and Chan-mi supports Gil-ja.

The next morning, Soon-shin tries to help her mom with breakfast and gets refused. Granny comes in, angry that she dared to come to their house. Soon-shin shouldn't have gone even if Jung-ae sent her - she knows how hurt Jung-ae is.

Then Chan-woo shows up to apologize. Granny wants Gil-ja's permission before she grants hers.

Joon-ho readies for his day, smiling about Soon-shin and taking a peek at their train picture...THAT HE KEEPS IN HIS WALLET! CUUUUUTE!

Downstairs, Yi-jung begs her father to talk to Chan-woo and I want to smack her. How miserable would she be with someone who doesn't like her at all? Joon-ho guesses that he is marrying "that unni" and I' wondering when Yi-jung will find out that Yoo-shin is Soon-shin's sister. Dong-hyuk gets angry at Yi-jung and Soo-jung and tells them to stop hounding Chan-woo.

Joon-ho meets with Soon-shin and tries to keep himself from smiling like a fool. He teases her about Yoo-shin's marriage, which begs the question, "How do you know about that?" He jokes that he has her in his pocket and tells her now she can only focus on acting. He still thinks she likes Chan-woo.

They go for food and he trips and falls against the counter. YES! I missed you Mr. Adorable Klutz! When he suggests a food and Soon-shin doesn't want it, he pouts that she always accepts whatever Young-hoon offers; is she discriminating? Hehehehe, you petty, petty, manchild!

After changing his mind a few times and after hitting his hand on the counter (HEH!), he decides that he will choose their beverage and brings two cappuccinos that have cute designs. Soon-shin quickly admires her design, then mixes the foam into her coffee to Joon-ho's chagrin. She wonders why he wanted to order the huge two-person sherbert like last time and he makes a stupid excuse. We all know he wanted to share it with her like she did with Young-hoon. Hehehe.

Then he asks if working with with Mi-ryeong is hard. Soon-shin says it's fine because she gets nice clothes and expensive food - but her face is emotionless as she says it. She hasn't read over the scripts yet and he angrily tells her that she got into acting for herself and for her family, not Mi-ryeong. Does she want to be remembered as Mi-ryeong's daughter?
