Episode 38 recap

Joon-ho and Soon-shin miss the last boat off the island until morning. Yay! They're going to be forced to spend cute time together. Chan-mi isn't worried about leaving them together, but In-sung is and has a mini-fit. I already like the sidekicks together. Moar please. Less of Yeon-ah brooding over Joon-ho with her enemy.

Soon-shin and Joon-ho get carted off by a match-making ahjussi whose radar goes off when he espies their easy-going relationship. He offers them the only room he has all while winking madly at the awkward Joon-ho.

As if anything wink-worthy would happen. This is a family drama.

So our couple sit awkwardly together, imagining their night to come in a shared bedroom. Match-making ahjussi brings them food and then grins at the couple, enjoying their love vicariously as only a single ahjussi can. He makes remarks about how likeable Soon-shin is and how there is NOTHING to do in the area, but sleep early. Joon-ho chokes on his food. Hehe.

The staff eats together. Yeon-ah spends all of her time eavesdropping on In-sung and Chan-mi. Chan-mi asks about Joon-ho and Yeon-ah and finds out that she dumped Joon-ho despite the fact that she's clinging to him now. In-sung is dying to tell Chan-mi about Joon-ho liking Soon-shin, but she pretends not to care. It's kinda adorable how he's such a little gossip. Chan-mi guesses the truth and says Soon-shin likes him back.

That night, Joon-ho and Soon-shin have changed into ahjussi clothes to sleep and Joon-ho is about to die from tension. He decides to sleep outside despite the mosquito swarm. The awkwardness is so adorable.

Joon-ho fends off the mosquitoes and Soon-shin listens to him shift around outside and feels guilty. She offers to share the room and he refuses. They chat and then she falls silent. He sits and then Soon-shin pops out of nowhere to scare him. He jumps a mile to her (and my) amusement.

They decide to go for a walk and end up sitting on a seawall. They stare up at the stars. Well, she stares up. He stares at her. *squee* Then he teases her and she promises to make him suffer when she becomes a star. Why so cute, you two?

That night we are treated to a most adorable sight:

Soon-shin wakes up and her heart starts to pound when she realizes that she's trapped against his chest. So she takes the opportunity to trace his features and be cute. Later, it is his turn to realize she is cuddled against him - he smiles like a fool. ACK! Where was this cuteness all my life?

The next morning, the match-making ahjussi wakes them up and they are wrapped in each other's arms. There is a very long moment of tense silence and then they meet eyes and jerk away. Heh.

Mi-ryeong wanders around the pier brooding over Soon-shin and comes across Dong-hyuk fishing. They hang out and flirt.

Soon-shin and Yeon-ah shoot a scene and it's weird to see them get along. I wish they did..'.cause it's sweet. The scene requires Yeon-ah to cut into live abalone and she gets grossed out, causing an NG. She doesn't want to do so the director has her switch lines with Soon-shin - who does it perfectly and gets complimented by the director. HA. Suck on that.

Soon-shin is studying her script when Yeon-ah comes to pick on her. She asks if Soon-shin stayed on the island on purpose. Soon-shin tells her to stop picking on her, but Yeon-ah doesn't. She insults Soon-shin's family and Soon-shin won't let her get away with it. She grabs Yeon-ah and demands an apology. They scuffle and Yeon-ah falls and hurts her ankle. The cast and crew come over as Yeon-ah pitches a fit. The hoity toity actress blames Soon-shin for everything and then Joon-ho makes her apologize without even asking what happened.
