Drama Recap Mr.Plankton Episode 6

 


Eo Heung goes to a matchmaking session that his mother has arranged at the start of the chapter. The fact that the women his mother introduced to him were just like her astounds Eo Heung. In front of these controlling women, Eo Heung felt like a baby.


The women his mother attempted to introduce him to don't pique Eo Heung's interest. He even feared their domineering behaviour.


In his mother's cooking class, Eo Heung first got to know Jae Mi. Her mother found her adding seasoning to her dish. As a result of her cooking error, his mother ultimately threw her out.


Eo Heung offered Jae Mi his handkerchief so she could cry and comforted her. To calm her, he also handed her some candy. After growing closer, the two started dating behind his mother's back. Being with Jae Mi made Eo Heung feel that he was no longer a puppy but had grown into a tiger-like strength.


Eo Heung told John Na that he had vowed to wed Jae Mi and keep her safe forever. He was drawn to Jae Mi's smile as he asked her to marry him. Eo Heung was devastated to witness Jae Mi kissing Hae Jo in the present.


Eo Heung rushes forward to embrace Jae Mi and give Hae Jo a face punch. As Jae Mi attempted to apologise for this kiss with Hae Jo, he assured her that everything was alright.


Eo Heung was chastised by Jae Mi for following her here, telling him that she wasn't deserving of his risk. Even though she had made the decision to leave him, Eo Heung insisted that she was his treasure and that she loved him dearly. His genuineness moved Jae Mi.


Hae Jo turned to face the prince group, who were en route to apprehend him, as he was leaving discreetly. Hae Jo spun around and grabbed Jae Mi and Eo Heung to flee. John Na watched the entire commotion from afar. Hae Jo planned to escape with the boat after stealing a key from the owner. Along with Jae Mi, he jumped into the boat and pushed Eo Heung to untie the rope that was fastened to the dock.


John Na fights with the Prince gang and saves Eo Heung. Despite his amazing fighting skills, the gang boss stabbed him in the stomach when he was defending himself.


Gi Ho He was using his mobile to record the entire scene. When he said he was waiting for the police to arrive, I assume he had already phoned them.


After cutting the rope with an axe, Eo Heung eventually untied it. Eo Heung was not in the boat when Hae Jo drove it away. Eo Heung plunges into the river in a last-ditch effort. In a panic, Jae Mi accused Hae Jo of being heartless. As he drowned in the water, Eo Heung had a dream about Jae Mi. He envisions himself marrying Jae Mi.


Eo Heung was thrilled to see Jae Mi's cheerful face when he woke up on a deserted island. He thought he was hugging Jae Mi but, in reality, he was hugging Hae Jo's calf. When he realised the truth, he became scared and released his leg.


To investigate this location, Eo Heung accompanied Jae Mi to the opposite side of the island. When Hae Jo woke up by himself, he noticed Jae Mi's shoe and footprints on the beach. He looked for his bottle of pills when he suddenly developed a terrible headache, only to discover that they had melted into water. He rests on the beach until he recovers.


Since this should be the time of their honeymoon, Eo Heung instructs Jae Mi to see this abandoned island as Hawaii. Rejecting it, Jae Mi tried to tell him the truth, but Eo Heung interrupted her. He hid in a corner until he was discovered by Jae Mi, who was only wearing one shoe because she didn't know where the other one was. For Jae Mi to put on, Eo Heung pulled out his shoes. Jae Mi made the decision to tell Eo Heung the truth about her menopause. Eo Heung was surprisingly relieved to learn that the reason Jae Mi is avoiding him is merely a trivial one. He doesn't mind that Jae Mi is menopausal and doesn't have to inherit his ancestry. "I can accept it," he said Eo Heung. 


Eo Heung and Jae Mi were informed by Hae Jo that they had been hit on this little island. Hae Jo pointed to the boat in the distance and described how he saved them both and pulled them to the shore on his own.


When Ho Ja was unable to hire John Na and Eo Heung for several days, she became concerned for her son. She chose to verify her fortune since she believed it to be foreboding. She is shocked to learn that her son would not be able to continue the family tradition.


Hae Jo was found by the prince gang, who threatened to murder him. When Hae Jo asked him why, he replied that he felt deceived by them because his wife had opened his safe and fled. In addition, he wants retribution for the harm Hae Jo caused him as well as for his lost pride. Gi Ho gave Hae Jo a hint that he should flee because this situation would not be easily addressed. Hae Jo fled as a result, dragging Eo Heung and Jae Mi with him. 


In the motel, John Na was cleaning his wound after suffering an injury. Bo Ja phoned him and expressed worry.


The police apprehended the Prince gang, but Wang Chil Seong, the gang boss, managed to flee with Gi Ho. Gi Ho revealed the whereabouts of Hae Jo after torturing him into submission.


Together, Hae Jo and Eo Heung must hunt fish to feed their ravenous stomachs in order to survive. However, Hae Jo's insensitivity and Eo Heung's jealously caused the two to end up fighting. It's worth noting that Woo Dong Hwan is completely shirtless throughout!


Jae Mi, who had already caught some fish and was holding an Octopus in her hand, watched the immature altercation between Hae Jo and Eo Heung with deadpan eyes.


As they grill the fish that Jae Mi discovered, the three of them descend together to sit by a campfire. Hae Jo also requested the mussel that Jae Mi fed Eo Heung. Eo Heung is uneasy because they argue like a couple in front of him.


The mussel that Jae Mi fed Eo Heung is the cause of his diarrhoea.He didn't want to be left alone with Jae Mi, so he requested Hae Jo to follow him. Given his sensitivity to the meal, Hae Jo wondered why he continued to eat mussels. According to Eo Heung, he ate when Jae Mi offered.


Hae Jo did not answer when Eo Heung called out to him. He believed Hae Jo had slipped away. He was shocked to discover Hae Jo motionless on the floor when he had finished cleaning himself with his sock and emerged from the bushes. Being a conventional doctor, Eo Heung attempted to revive him. He was relieved when Hae Jo awoke, but he quickly became upset with Hae Jo for concealing his condition from Jae Mi. Eo Heung was concerned about Hae Mi's reaction to this kind of circumstance.


Because of his sickness, Hae Jo is aware that his time on earth is limited. He asked Jae Mi to continue their adventure with him. Jae Mi was reluctant to follow him, though. Jae Mi was brought back to the times when she and Hae Jo were still a passionate pair. She has always been protected by Hae Jo, who has always looked out for her.


Hae Jo turned to leave, but he assumed Jae Mi had changed her mind when he heard someone behind him. When Hae Jo turned around, he was shocked to see Wang Chil Seong brandishing a knife and making an effort to murder him. Jae Min and Eo Heung stepped forward to assist him in repelling the assailant. Sadly, during the wrestle, Jae Mi was stabbed.

Drama Queen review

I am aware that the plot has advanced and that Hae Jo and Jae Mi are brought together by the gang boss and Eo Heung. But after this episode, I'm relieved that the cat and mouse game is ended. They've stopped all the pointless chasing.The pursuit and concealing process wasn't entertaining or engaging. Because there is no element of fun and the gang leader is cruel and irrational, the entire momentum collapses. In the end, all that has been building crumbles.

Oh Jung Se and Woo Dong Hwan gave a powerful performance as usual. In their roles, they were always outstanding and captivating. As I mentioned earlier, there shouldn't be any major surprises because everything is so predictable. Compared to her behaviour with Eo Heung, Jae Mi and Hae Jo act more like a couple. Jae Mi's passion for Hae Jo is evidently greater.I'm hopeful that Eo Heung will recover from his loss fast, but it will take some time for him to move on from Jae Mi.

Instead of being a crawling puppy, Eo Heung always wanted to be a tiger. He will do anything for Jae Mi because he loves her so much. However, you cannot expect the person you love to love you in the long run, because love is not about how much you sacrifice. Jo Yong, the screenwriter, makes it a point to depict the trio's relationship and how their disparate backgrounds and worldviews influenced their choices. While life isn't flawless, we should make the most of our time here by doing what we want and without regretting anything.

Drama Recap: Light Shop Episode 2

 


The Door

Sunhae is searching for a rental home at the start of the novel. She does not, however, have the funds for more costly flats. She must therefore make due with an ancient house that was located in a very peaceful neighbourhood.


Sunhae attempted to haggle for a higher price, but the broker informed her that this was the best rental home she could obtain for the money she could afford. Additionally, Sunhae is informed by the broker that one of these rooms is locked and cannot be opened. Sunhae made the grudging decision to move into this home.


Sunhae moved into the residence by herself shortly after. She cleans up the house and unpacks her belongings. She is resolved to start over in this new home and make herself more at ease by setting things up the way she wants. While attempting to mount a mirror to the room's exterior wall. Sunhae struck her thumb by accident.


It was late at night, and Sunhae was occupied with writing on her laptop. Outside her window, she could hear a man singing. Jiung is the student who must always go via this dim alley to return to his home. Sunhae expected the place to be quiet, therefore she was annoyed by the noise.


Jiung sings to give himself the strength to cross the dark alley since he is terrified of it. He feels relieved when he arrives at the light shop. But instead of entering, he simply stopped at the store's entrance and peered inside.


Sunhae is making an effort to fit in at her new residence. She appears to lose her vigour and get fatigued rapidly in this house, though. The home where she resides has an eerie quality. While she sleeps on the desk, some oddities occur, like her shadow shifting slightly and reflecting on the wall. The lights will abruptly go off when the lightbulb flashes.


After discussing the patient's condition, the doctors and nurses in the intensive care unit diagnose the patient. Due to a shortage of beds in the hospital, a delirious alcoholic patient was transferred to the intensive care unit. He muttered, "Who are you and why are you here to the thin air?" with a confused expression. The medical staff believes that he has annoyed the other patients, but they are unable to stop it.


The decision to tell the patient's family that survival is dependent on the patient's will is a difficult one for the doctors and nurses to make. Everyone was devastated.


Strange occurrences continue to occur at Sunhae's home. She was blowing her hair when she heard a disturbance outside and the lights in the closed room suddenly came on. Sunhae opened the door out of curiosity and was surprised to find that it could be opened. The only object in the empty room is a lightbulb that is suspended from the ceiling.


Youngji was deeply affected after breaking the devastating news to the patient's family. She walked to one of the restroom cubicles to unwind. Suddenly she hears what sounds like a voice. This woman asks her agitatedly, "How can an unconscious person have the willpower to survive?" "As a nurse, I am also unable to answer this question. I once lost consciousness in a car crash," Youngji shot back. How I had survived was a mystery to me. My mother claims that she has been praying for me to awaken, and I did.


Frustrated, a long-haired, ghostly-looking woman climbs up the door and demands that the patient wake up. When Youngji first saw the "stranger," she was astonished and trembling. Fortunately, after the cleaning lady called out to Youngji in the lavatory, everything returned to normal. The cleaning lady was curious about Youngji's appearance as she emerged from the cubicle appearing pale.


Sunhae stepped inside to take a closer look after seeing that the lightbulb in the room was erratic. She noticed Jieung staring at her in terror through the open window, as if he had seen a ghost in the house.


All of the students were exhausted and ready to go home after studying at night. Except for Eutteum, who is so sleepy that she ignored the commotion around her and rested her head on the desk. Although her classmates recommended that she be left alone in class, the gentle Hyunju tried to rouse Eutteum. Hyunju gives up as Eutteum declines to follow them. When Eutteum woke up alone after everyone had departed, she noticed an odd student sitting at the empty desk, staring at her, wearing a white uniform.


Hyunju was holding an umbrella as she attempted to navigate the dim alley with the manual torchlight Wooyoung had given her. It was pouring rain. She noticed a long-haired woman in white with red high heels in the faint light. Hyunju engages her in conversation and offers to share an umbrella. The woman with the long hair brushes Hyunju's arms as they walk side by side. Hyunju was startled when the woman abruptly got taller and her feet tripped, making a cracking sound. Hyunju remembers Wonyoung’s instruction to act as though she doesn't know anything. 

Fearful of the "stranger," Hyunju hurried to the light shop and asked Wonyoung for assistance. After exiting the light shop, Wonyoung instructed Hyunju to go to her mother. After he removed his sunglasses and looked at the "stranger," things returned to normal.


At Sunhae's house, strange things continue to happen. Her long hair kept falling out as she was taking a shower, and she was startled to discover a bunch of hairs stuck to the washbasin drain.


Jieung was holding the umbrella on a wet day when he saw Jiyoung pulling a bulky piece of luggage. If she is heading in the same way as him, he offers to take her to the light shop and strikes up a discussion. When Jiyoung asked if he was alone, he said that he was. When she was standing by the window the other time, he told Jiyoung that he could see a "stranger" in Sunhae's house when they were sharing an umbrella. "Do you think they were together?" Jiyoung enquired. "Yes," Jieung said. Jieung quickly asked her to go after Jiyoung said, "Strangers live in the dark," and she suggested going to the house.


Jieung was startled when he saw Jiyoung's fingers twisted. After glancing at him, Jiyoung remarked that he was like her. His legs are deformed, and her fingers are deformed. Incredulous, Jieung tried to flee from her while staring at his contorted legs. Wherever he ran, though, it felt like a circle with no way out. Sunhae also knew at that moment that she was trapped in this house and locked.


Jiyoung headed to the light shop with Wonyoung’s assistance. "What are you trying to find?" He asked. Jiyoung remarked, "You know what I am looking for," Jiyoung carries her stuff inside, which is seeping blood. At the end of this episode, an unidentified man with a wet jacket walked into the light shop. "Why have you come here?" Wooyoung enquired. "I'm with the police," he said.

Drama Queen review

I'm more convinced now after watching this episode that there may be a connection between the living and the dead. They may have met once in their lives but have since forgotten about the meeting. The motivation of these "strangers" and the reasons behind their actions remain unclear. They must be searching for something pertaining to the light bulb and the light shop. It might be the secret to something significant.

It appears that the only decent characters in this program are Youngji and Hyunju. It's possible that Sunhae and Jieung did something to the strangers that they don't recall doing. The fact that Wooyoung genuinely assists Hyunji in chasing the "strangers" away pleases me, and I'm eager to learn more about their possible unique bond. Ju Ji Hoon looks fantastic in those sunglasses, in my opinion. Looking at his specs, which resemble galaxies when he spots "strangers," is cool. He is able to distinguish between a stranger and a human.

As the detective starts his inquiry, I am looking forward to the following episode. I can't wait to learn about each character's backstory.

Drama Recap: Mr. Plankton Episode 5

 

When she was younger, Jae Mi was adamant about wanting a family and a home of her own. However, she was disappointed when the adoptive family decided not to pick her up and take her out of the institution. As a result, she envisioned herself as a mother when she grew older. After telling her classmates about her dreams, she felt self-conscious in front of the class. Her former lover, Hae Jo, said that because she had never experienced maternal love, she would never be a good mother.

Jae Mi was even more heartbroken since she knew that her menopause would keep her from ever having children. Hae Jo made an effort to console her and express regret for his cruel remarks. Jae Mi informed him that he was a prophet who could foretell her destiny. She asked Hae Jo to perform a blessing song for her, hoping that it would make her happier.


For the first time, Eo Heung and John Na strolled past the crowded streets where couples were publicly showing their love and kissing. As they drove down the road to the Love Motel to rest their feet, he was uncomfortable. They must share a single bed, and they heard moaning next to their room, which made them uneasy. 


The prince gang kidnapped Gi Ho in order to find Hae Jo. After obtaining Gi Ho's phone number, Eo Heung attempted to get in touch with him. He acts as though someone is calling to ask him to seek for a missing individual.


Hae Jo had trouble falling asleep at night. Hae Jo is taken to the morning fish market by Jae Geun. Like father and son, they had a pleasant day. It brings back memories of Hae Jo's happy childhood days spent with his father.


Jae Geun takes care of Hae Jo and feeds him like a father would. He raised a ruckus and the fishmongers got into a fight with him. Together, they made their getaway. Because of the bottle of medications he placed on the desk, Jae Geun disclosed that he was aware of Hae Jo's sickness. Jae Geun fears Hae Jo's illness may claim his life.


In the bathtub, the prince gang leader is having a good time. Like a servant to his master, Gi Ho is taking care of him. Gi Ho was asked by the gang boss if he had been making every effort to locate Hae Jo. Gi Ho pledged to track Hae Jo's location using his technological expertise.


Gi Ho was shocked to discover that Eo Heung was the caller when he received an enigmatic call on his phone. In the police station, he recalled seeing Eo Heung. He realizes Seung Hyeok is Hae Jo after doing a background check with Bong Suk. Gi Ho was happy that the prince gang was unaware of their shared identity. But was there nothing the gang leader knew?


In the love motel, we see the endearing bromance between Eo Heung and John Na. John Na went above and beyond to provide Eo Heung with quality treatment.


In an attempt to learn more about Gi Ho's knowledge, the prince gang leader spoke with him. Abruptly, he demanded that he perform his job effectively and stabbed him in the leg with a knife.


When Hae Jo returned home, he noticed an empty bed and wondered whether Jae Mi had left. He was shocked and heartbroken by Jae Mi's departure. Hae Jo was relieved to see her again when she suddenly materialized behind him. He shared his fish market adventure with Jae Min. Because of her allergies, Jae Mi refused to eat the snack he had prepared for her. She blames Hae Jo for not paying enough attention to her during their courtship.


In the grocery store, Eo Heung and Gi Ho met and shared details about Hae Jo. Following that, Eo Heung came across the prince group, and he was obviously anxious to hide who he was and why he had come.


While he slept, Hae Jo dreamed of living a lovely life with Jae Mi and his father. When Jae Mi remembered Hae Jo putting antiseptic lotion on her skin while she slept, she blushed.


To find Hae Jo, the prince gang hiked into the forest. He suddenly noticed Jae Mi, who realized right away that they were seeking retribution against Hae Jo. Jae Mi pretended to be someone else, but the gang leader quickly found her. Jae Mi ran home to tell Hae Jo, and he followed her.


When Hae Jo opened the closet to get his cash bag, he was startled to see that the money was gone. They realize right away that they were duped out of their money.


At the same moment, the prince gang reached Jae Geun's house. Eo Heung uses his conventional medical techniques to endanger the life of the gang leader in an attempt to get to Jae Mi first. But the fact that Hae Jo and Jae Mi had already left the house disappointed them both.


From the clues Jae Geun left in his home, Hae Jo and Jae Mi searched for the location of his hiding. He had visited a gambling den, they conclude. They discovered that he had gambled away all of the money he had taken from Hae Jo.


Feeling betrayed, Hae Ju chose to hit Jae Geun in the face as a form of discipline. When Jae Guen disparaged and insulted Hae Jo, Jae Mi stood up for him.


Hae Jo was emotionally coerced by Jae Geun into complying with his demands to pretend to be his father. Hae Jo became so enraged by it that he struck Jae Geun even more forcefully before Jae Mi intervened to prevent him from hurting Jae Geun any further.


Jae Mi and Hae Jo took a seat facing the sea. Based on the results of the DNA test, he informs Jae Mi that Jae Geun is not his biological father. Happy for Hae Jo, Jae Mi offers to accompany him in his search for a potential father. After a long and exhausting quest, Hae Jo declared that he intended to stop looking for his biological father so that Jae Mi may at last resume her regular life. This time, Jae Mi declined and demanded to go with Hae Jo on his quest to find his biological father. Jae Mi's genuineness and love touched Hae Jo. Under the sun, they moved closer and shared a kiss.


Eo Heung was a short distance away when Jae Mi and Hae Jo exchanged a kiss. Eo Heung appeared both heartbroken and lost.

Drama Queen review 

There isn't a storyline twist or unexpected element in this drama that will delight you. It is about the process of overcoming emotional baggage and personal development. Hae Jo is obstinate, self-centred, and selfish, but he also has a wounded spirit, which is why he acts out and says hurtful things to other people.

Hae Jo is growing and learning how to talk to his loved ones as he goes through a healing process. He was frequently misinterpreted as heartless and without empathy since he always put himself first and failed to recognize the suffering of others. Jae Mi too needs time to mature and determine her true desires. She still harbors affections for Hae Jo, but she refuses to let go of Eo Heung's hand since only he can provide her with stability and won't desert her like Hae Jo does. Hae Jo and Jae Mi both need to rediscover how to believe in love and trust.

Jo Yong's human healing drama delves into human psychology and behaviour once more. Because of their upbringings, the primary characters Jae Mi and Hae Jo were both insecure and craved affection. We comprehend the reasons behind their actions. The saddest part of all is that there are others in this world who will take advantage of this marginalised minority in order to benefit themselves. They may use deceptive and exploitative tactics, such as emotional blackmail to get what they want or other shady means. Some people, like Jae Geun, are wolves in sheep's clothing who prowl around seeking out people's weaknesses.

Eo Heung saw Jae Mi and Hae Jo share a kiss. What is he going to do? Despite his efforts to fight for his love, Eo Heung will probably wind up alone, which saddens me. For Eo Heung, heartbreak is unavoidable. The fact that he has a friend in John Na who will always stand by him and defend him gives me some solace, at least.
