[mslee's thoughts] Episode 3 & 4 - Can We Love Review

I think sharing my thoughts and review for this drama will always happen during weekends like tonight, four days after the Tuesday airing. Subs usually are out the next day so it will take till Wednesday upload the second episode of the week.  Weekends are my only time to watch this back to back to enjoy it's story.

Okay, enough of my random mumblings there.

Episode 3

Let me talk about Director Oh Kyung Soo and his flattery. It seems that it is easy for him to make compliments especially to Kim Sun Mi and enjoy conversing with her, alone or not. They met by chance and decided to eat together and he promised her a delicious home cook at his place. Maybe Sun MI doesn't want to read the situation wrongly so she said Jung Wan likes Italian foods which he is about to cook. 

With the date settled Sun Mi went to the salon for a hair make over. She is excited about it. I think because she is single, it's understandably that she will like the idea of possibilities with Kyung Soo. When they where at his place, it showed how he lived, neat and alone, to Sun Mi's secretaries nosiness. He is talking with her at the table and giving her his almost undivided attention. Flirty, promising. 

But I find it empty. Because it is his nature to be nice to someone like Sun Mi who is single, beautiful, talented and successful but I think that after uttering those words, it really means nothing more. Plain flattery.

Sun Mi intentionally left her phone just to comeback after sometime, but he was not in his house anymore. She called him the next day in her office to meet or eat perhaps after she retrieve her phone but he sounded not interested and told her he would send it to her. So basically, he is the typical male. Or Kyung Soo is not looking for a relationship.

But the difference with how he treats Jung Wan is much cuter. In the kitchen while helping him to prepare the food, the awkward situation arose when they kept going the same way which in the end she bumped her head to his chest. Embarrassing moment. And he kept visiting the mart where she worked after finding out about it. Always had a reason to see her personally when he could phone her or text her. But these moments are weird for Jung Wan and she is shy to be found out working as part time there. Annoyingly, he would talk to her and be cute at the same time.

He realized that Do Young's sister's bofriend is Jung Wans' ex husband. He told Do Young but to just pretend he never knew. Because of stress from work, she fainted during one of Kyung Soo's visit at the mart. He brought her to a hospital and almost jumped out of the room when she noticed that she was in a private room. Again, she is worrying about money. But Kyung Soo told her he would take care of it but she would not.

On his way home, he called Do Young and told about Jung Wan's fainting and that her financial problem. He told Do Young to pay the bill but he will pay him later. Just so that Jung Wan will think the company took care of it. But Do Young said he will take care of it and he need not pay him. Just give him a box office hit movie in return.

Ji Hyun and Do Young met again when she dropped Jung Wan at the office and realized he was her employer. In her haste to leave, she grazed his car. No choice but to talk with him and pretend they just met again for the second time in front of Jung Wan. When they finally faced each other at the coffee shop, it was revealed that both had different views about their break up. Ji Hyun remembered it all happened because of a petty quarrel and that he left her just like that. But Do Young has his own version that he did not say to Ji Hyun.

Regarding Se Ra, she was found out by Ji Hyun. When confronted, she shouted back at her mother. She really is a brat. Ji Hyun lost control and slapped her. She was mad and asked why she was hit. She closed her room and threatened to not see her and her father anymore if she tired to open her door. I pity Ji Hyun for having to deal with teenage tantrums and rebellions. 

I find Jung Wan's ex husband nice. He is still concerned about her and hurry to her side when he knew about her being in the hospital. He decided to take care of her mother and son for awhile and stay at his place. Just for the time being before the wedding. I think he is guilty somehow when he is succeeding after they divorced and she is struggling.

The scene that irritated me was when Ji Hyun's mother in law throw pillows at her face and insulted her family background as if she has every right just because she is wealthy. Something I can't take seeing how she just stood there receiving all the hurt and not doing anything. 

Episode 4

Jung Wan misinterpreted Do Young's kindness to her as interest towards her as a woman. And I laughed when she told it to Kyung Soo. When both heard the heated conversation of Do Young and Ji Hyun it became clear Jung Wan is wrong. In which Kyung Soo finds another way to annoy and irritate her by saying he doesn't like her  or that she might also misinterpret his actions of always appearing before her as something else. Kyung Soo is so adorable, he hasn't realized it yet why he always seek her.

The culprit of the misunderstanding between Do Young and Ji Hyun was her father. But when tried to find out the truth, he denied again. Frustrating for Ji Hyun and I think she should stop digging for what already passed. 

Se Ra is pregnant! And still mad at her mother. What's her reason, I wonder? Because I am becoming exasperated by her actions and her arrogance.

Sun Mi and Ji Hyun seems to always pissed each other with petty things. When Sun Mi remembered Do Young as Ji Hyun's first love and talked about it with Jung Wan, Ji Hyun was offended and say things to Sun Mi. They were arguing. I think Ji Hyun was being defensive because no one among her friends knew the truth about her life and she doesn't want them to taalk about her. While Sun Mi did not know that her little query about the past will disturb Ji Hyun that way,

Being single and alone makes Sun Mi vulnerable and sad. When she visit her mother on her memorial day, she never felt so alone then. But her interest lies towards Kyung Soo. She kept leaving messages to him. While he is busy tailing or acting driver/bodyguard to Jung Wan. He does make time for her. Well, Sun Mi used Yoon Seok that night to ease her loneliness. I hope Yoon Seok will never tire of waiting for Sun Mi to realize that he is someone she can rely on and love.

The episode ended with both Jung Wan and her ex husband were in his apartment/house collecting clothes for their son who is confined in the hospital. His fiancee Kyung Joo is outside punching the passcode. All hell will break loose if she finds the two of them inside.

I do enjoy watching the drama. I am loving all three women and the two main leads. Looking for next episode.
