Drama: My Shining Girl (자체발광 그녀) Episode 2 Recap


Rating: Undecided Yet/10

(Note: I have decided to do this in parts since I can't watch all these episodes in one day. Therefore, I will not do a rating till I finish the series. On the last episode, I will post the rating for the entire series.)

This episode rating: 7/10

In the second episode, after their bicker, she is annoyed and angry at his up-handed ways. She decides to put aside her pride and asks him to please give her a chance. He scoffs and leaves.

At the meeting, she learns that they are trying to get that star for their show. However, he can't do it because on that same day, there is a famous talk show. The PD gives her the job of trying to convince the star to do their show.

Her friend, the ex-wife of the PD, calls to tell her about the star being in the hospital. She asks if it is something that she can catch. Because their friendship is shaky, her friend tells her that it is not. She tries to gain the star's attention by sending him flowers. Meanwhile, the star meets up with the woman who is having a scandal with him. She just wants to have a part in a show he is also acting in. He tells her that's impossible because he is horrible at acting and if he adds her horrible acting into the mix, it is just disgracing the acting profession.

At work, the writer has to put up with her rude co-workers that scoff at her silly attempts to win the star over. They help her wake up to the fact that she isn't trying hard enough. She says she will go see him herself.

The friend, ends up calling her ex-husband, the PD and tells him that the star has Hepatitis B and to tell the writer to be careful. Guess someone grew a heart. 

The writer calls her friend who works for the star (How convenient..) to set up a meeting. She interrupts him and tells him that she knows what's wrong with him and that she will see to it herself. He says fine and that he will set something up. She wants to see him in 15 -20 mins. Her friend is worried about her going, but she still insists so he leads the way. Sounds like the new actress he slept with and is blackmailing him gave him Hep B. Sucks to be him! His manager warns him not to leave the hospital or he will fire him. He angrily throws his phone and it ends up hitting the plant she give him. What are the chances?

The writer tries to talk to him, but he refuses. He even tosses a pillow at her. He also calls for his security to kick her out. She is pissed. The PD calls her to warn her about the star's condition, but she angrily hangs up before he gets the chance. Meanwhile, his friend takes his phone and runs off on him.

She goes out to drink alone. (Alcohol doesn't solve everything sheesh!) She is thinking about their memories together. They were in love and together for years and it was sweet. But at 4 years, they started to get too used to each other and there were some problems. By the 5th year, they were feeling contempt for one another.

Meanwhile, the star is feeling hungry and goes to get his phone to call for food. However, he broke his phone when he threw it earlier. He picks up the hospital phone but realizes he doesn't remember any numbers. (The ease of a cell phone has spoiled us all. xD ) He sees the plant he broke and realizes it is the woman who came to see him earlier. He sees that she has left her number, so he calls her. The writer was surprised. He tells her he is sorry for being so rude earlier and made it sound like he has reconsidered talking to her, but also bring him some food. She comes and he just tells her to leave. She still wants to talk to him and he says that he isn't feeling well. She says she knows. He thinks to himself: "Is this girl crazy? She knows what I have and she still wants to be so close." She introduces herself and wants to shake his hand, but he can't so he doesn't. She even feeds him food. He notices that she looks familiar. She thinks to herself and remembers the wine incidence. She lies and says that they haven't met before.

Her friends are on the phone with one another and the truth is revealed that the star has Hep B and that their friend wants to go talk to him. They both agree that even though she can catch Hep B, it's not like the first time they meet, they would be eating together face to face. Boy are they wrong! They even share food... even worse, it is soup! Tsk tsk. This girl is crazy! He spits up a bit and it gets all over her. She doesn't mind. She is SO catching it. 

Next day, she even makes him food. She continues to try and convince him to do the show. He realizes that the PD he doesn't get along with is the PD to that show. He decides to meet the PD. She goes to tell him. The PD calls him and the star says he doesn't want to talk to him on the phone. He refuses and tells the writer to go talk to him instead. The PD makes her in charge of the star. He asks if she is feeling ok. She doesn't get it. He says forget it and they part ways.

The star uses her as an errand runner. The manager and the writer's friend talk about why the star is hanging out with the writer so much when everyone else is busy avoiding him. The manager guesses, "Is it because she likes him?"

The writer brings him ice cream like he asked. She was walking to his room when she overhears some nurses saying the star has Hep B. The nurses also talk about who that girl is that keeps visiting him. The nurses say that as long as they don't eat food with mixed saliva, it is ok. She goes to get herself a blood test to be sure. She has caught it. She recalls her friend lying to her and the PD asking if she is feeling ok. I bet she thinks they planned it together. Oh no! what now?

Until next episode...

Korean Drama: One Mom and Three Dads (아빠셋 엄마하나) Episode 2


Rating: Undecided Yet/10

(Note: I have decided to do this in parts since I can't watch all these episodes in one day. Therefore, I will not do a rating till I finish the series. I will update the posts later with the rating.)


This episode rating: 7/10

The second episode, starts off with a funny cartoon. The three best friends were dreaming that they were fighting animals (tiger, bear, snake) and they each seemed to be losing their fight. They wake up screaming... looks like a bad omen guys. xD (What are the chances those three would have the similar dreams?) They try to look on the bright side, they think the dream is good luck so they rush to go buy lottery tickets. Meanwhile, the couple go to the doctor's to find out "Congratulations! You are pregnant!" They are ecstatic! The loving husband is very extra careful with his wife and taking super good care of her. Its adorable and sweet. He takes off her shoes and socks. He even talks of taking days off so he can take care of his wife. He also does the housework and is basically like a slave for his wife. "As long as you're happy, I'm happy." (I want my future husband to be like that! xD)

His wife tells him he should go celebrate with his best friends. At first, he didn't want to because he doesn't want to leave her alone, but she convinces him to go. The guys get together and they talk about naming the kid. Then they land on a tangent and start conversing about how she got pregnant when the guy said he is sperm-less (not sure since I watched the Chinese dub version). His friends make him swear he didn't use their sperm... (Sorry guys, no such luck...). They party hard, got drunk, went to karaoke, and stayed out late.

The happy couple start planning for their future. "Daddy" starts making a wooden rocking horse. Mommy goes to buy maternal clothes. Even the best friends start contributing baby items, too. I think its sweet how close they all are.

One day, his father-in-law calls him and asks to speak with him. He lies and tells his wife that he has a business meeting. He drives off as she happily waves goodbye to him. (Could this be the day he gets into a car crash and leaves them forever? =S I dread that day, but how is the story supposed to progress without him leaving?) She is ironing his shirt when she realizes that it's getting cold. She calls her husband and tells him that the thermostat is broken and will be fixed tomorrow. Her husband is worried, no wanting her to be alone and be cold, he suggests that she goes over to his friend's house (Yes, the three stooges live together. How convenient.) He calls the cop, but hes at a stakeout. He calls the stock broker, but he is in a meeting. The manga artist is busy at work.

The cop finally gets home and lets her in, but she has a cold by then. It's so funny because she says "Sorry, but can you wash your feet please?" Being pregnant, she has developed a sensitive nose. In the bathroom, he is grumbling about how his feet don't stink. Then he lifts his foot and sniffs and says "ok... so maybe it is a little smelly" and goes back to scrubbing his feet. xD After returning, he realizes that she is sick, so he calls his mother. That convo was cute. The stock broker and the manga artist are shopping for groceries and bump into kids. They complain about how kids are annoying and the devil incarnate (haha... just you guys wait... >=) ) and that Na Young's child is going to be like that too so they will be doomed.

The three guys are so funny. They do not know how to do any housework or how to take care of people. They also argue with the pregnant woman. And they watch her eat like a pig.

We find out he lied to his wife because his father-in-law owes people money and she would kill him if he went to help her father. He doesn't seem very close to his daughter. He apparently abandoned her and her mother when she was little. How sad. On his way home on this rainy day, he calls his friends to check up on his wife. They confirm she is ok and the guys go to sleep while she already fell asleep on their couch. On his drive home, he has to take a detour and is making a U-turn when a truck hits him and he dies.

At the funeral, the cop is bawling saying, "What is Na Young going to do? It's unfair!" At the ashes ceremony, we are shown that the 4 guys grew up together under this tree. The couple even dated at this tree. It's sad that I feel like I'm on the verge of tears.

Everyone is having trouble dealing with his death. The guys are all driven to gloomily drinking. The mother is just sitting in bed in a daze. The baby narrates, "Mommy I'm hungry! Even though I keep giving her signals, mommy still seems to be depressed." The guys come over to check on her and find that she has let the house become messy. She starts sobbing about how she needs to do all these things: register her husband's death, cancel his cell service and bank stuff, etc. The guys say they will help and they begin helping her make food to eat. She sits there in a daze, not really wanting to eat. They feed her and try to convince her she needs to get herself together. The guys help clean out his office and his workshop. They go through all his stuff and find a CD he made for his child. They take a look and realize that their damn friend had used their sperm even though they told him not to (Yes, they couldn't really make up their mind, but in the end they still told him no but he used it anyways). They freak out and that's the end of episode 2. What will happen next?
