Best K-Drama Moments: July Week #3 - Mask, The Time We Were Not in Love, Oh My Ghost, High Society + I Remember You

Mask
Save me, but don't leave me.

Min Woo and Ji Sook hit a rough patch when Mi Yeon exposes our heroine's fraud. This gets Min Woo mad and he distances himself. Ji Sook has to divorce Min Woo to keep evil Seok Hoon from killing him to get his inheritance through her. However, Ji Sook is in a bind and feels she can't fully confide in her husband which frustrates him. So, they go through a hilarious couple counseling where they insist that they must divorce while showing that they are absolutely in love. It all comes to a head on their way to finalize their divorce. After Ji Sook confesses that looking at her husband's eyes gives her strength, he turns around and tells her that he loves her - not as Eun Ha but as Ji Sook. He reveals that her leaving him will be tantamount to killing him, so, if she wants to save him, she must stay by his side.


The Time We Were Not in Love
A special presentation.

Won has bought a necklace for Ha Na, and rather than simply handing it to her, he's got plans to make her and us swoon first. Won has turned their rooftop into a small, private theatre. On the wall, a slideshow plays, and while it highlights their years long friendship, our heroine is the star of the show, apart from Won's present that's been tacked on the re-purposed screen.

Won and Ha Na.
Get a clue!

Seo Hoo has been trying to get back in Ha Na's life with little success. Instead, he jams himself into her work life. Because Ha Na's company is sponsoring Seo Hoo, he has personally requested that she tend to him and his business matters. Unable to get out of the situation, Ha Na grits her teeth and does the best job she can without opening herself up to his advances. In a sober state, she seems to have a handle on things, but on the night of a company gathering, Ha Na gets drunk and rips him one. As Seo Hoo offers to give her a ride home, she lets him know how she feels with several "I hate yous." If he doesn't get where he stands then, then he sure does when Won shows up. She beams at her best friend and gladly hitches a ride on Won's back.


Oh My Ghost
Life is short, so, be happy.

Sun Woo's victory over his childhood tormentor doesn't last long when he realizes that kicking him down now that their fates have reversed has turned him into some kind of bully. This, of course, means it's time for brooding, or as our friends would say: manpain.

Cue our beloved Bong Sun-possessed-by-Soon Ae to cheer him up and make him feel better. She reminds him that life is short, so, it's often better to forgive and move on instead of dwelling on one's pain because the time wasted on being hurt can be spent on being happy.


High Society
Small sacrifices.

Ji Yi is now a full-time employee at the Taejin Group. It's her first day at work when Chang Soo calls to invite her out for lunch. Ji Yi has a few minutes left before her break ends, and she suggests eating at a tteokibokki street stand. Chang Soo isn't keen about eating street foods, but his hunger wins out. He tastes some while Ji Yi happily gobbles up her share; they finish off with a cup of instant coffee.


I Remember You
You're just quirky.

From a young age, Lee Hyun seemed far from normal, and his father wondered whether his son was a psychopath. When Lee Hyun reads his father's journal, it scars him; his father believes his son's a monster. Lee Hyun has since wondered how people perceive him, and when he asks Ji An what she thinks of him, she is initially hesitant. However, she admits that although he has his quirks, she doesn't see him as a monster. It's a heartfelt scene that turns awkward, and so, Ji An decides it's best to ask him out on a movie date. Ji An can't believe what she's just done, and what is great about this is that Lee Hyun takes her up on the offer, and we hope this means the two will forge a deeper relationship.

Hyun + Ji An.
