Even though Ma Sung and Gi Bbeum have found each other again, things are not as easy the second time around. Will their fated connection be enough to draw them back together? Devilish Joy Episode 2 gives us more questions than it answers. (We are doing this people! We are going to recap all of Devilish Joy.)

Recap Devilish Joy Episode 2

We open where we left off in the last episode. Gong Ma Sung(Choi Jin Hyuk) stands over Joo Gi Bbeum(Song Ha Yoon) and demands what she is doing with her camera. Gruffly, he orders her to hand him the camera and reaches out his hand. As he does, his sleeve pulls up and Gi Bbeum sees for the first time the tattoo of the memory flower on his hand.

Memories swarm back to Gi Bbeum of their day together and seeing the memory flower. Unaware Ma Sung doesn’t remember her, she hides her face. But Ma Sung is still fixated on the camera. When she doesn’t give it to him, he pulls it from her hands and sends it flying to the floor. In the same instance, the camera breaks and Gi Bbeum’s bag of stinky fish splatter at their feet.

Ma Sung scolds her and turns to leave. But, seeing the expensive camera broken, Gi Bbeum leaps to her feet and yells at him, “Hold up, Mr. Gong Ma Sung!”

Ma Sung’s countenance shifts in surprise. “Did you call my name?”

“Yes! Don’t you remember me?” Gi Bbeum barks.

“Are you so important to be worth remembering?” Ma Sung asks her and turning to go steps on one of her many spilt fish. Angrily he tells her to clean them up.

In that moment, jerk cameraman arrives to see his camera in shatters on the floor. He yells at Gi Bbeum while she stands numbly apologizing.

Back in his office, Ma Sung trashes his soiled shoes.

Later that day, Gi Bbeum sits across from her friend Ko Nan Joo(Lee Soo Ji) (Aw, it’s the pig-tailed assistant. Note: we will be calling her Nan Joo from now on.) and sorts her fish. She tells Nan Joo about meeting Ma Sung. Nan Joo doesn’t seem at all surprised that Ma Sung didn’t recognize Gi Bbeum. She is convinced he did remember her, but didn’t want to admit it considering how differently Gi Bbeum is from back then. Gi Bbeum decides her friend is right. “Whatever!” she tells her.

Gi Bbeum tries to give her friend some of her fish as a “thank you” for helping her set up her clothing store when she didn’t even have money for rent, but Nan Joo is less than thrilled to accept the smelly red gurnards. She carries the bag of fish at arm’s length into the other room.

Walking home, Gi Bbeum discovers tabloids pasted on the side of a building advertising “Joo Gi Bbeum’s Closet: Amazing Sales.” embarrassed for people to see how fall she has fallen, she begins to tear the sheets from the wall and window.

That night, Ma Sung is dropped off at home by his secretary chauffeur. But before he goes in, his driver asks why Ma Sung is not wearing his shoes. “I threw them out,” he grumpily tells the man and asks for him to buy the exact same shoes for tomorrow so he isn’t confused.

At her home, Gi Bbeum’s younger brother, Joo Ja Rang(Kang Yoon Je,) cooks red gurnards for dinner while Gi Bbeum watches. Gi Bbeum asks what happened to the gas to their stove, and he tells her it was turned off by the company. Gi Bbeum doesn’t seems totally surprised. Continuing to cook, Ja Rang asks if she is not scared of the sea now, seeing as she went out on a boat today. “I’m more scared of not catching fish.” She tells him honestly.

Their conversation is interrupted by the sound of Gi Bbeum’s younger sister, Joo Sa Rang(Kim Ji Young) pushing their very drunk father in a shopping cart.

The siblings sit down to eat their fish dinner while their father(Oh Gwang Rok) lies on the floor beside the table. Randomly, he pops up to quote pieces of poetry at them. As their dad falls back asleep on the floor, Gi Bbeum notices the rude words on her younger sister’s shirt: “What are you looking at!?!” Motherly, she tells her to not wear the rude shirt and instead to wear something from Gi Bbeum’s store. As she pulls clothes from her backpack, Ja Rang notices the crumpled tabloids at the bottom of the pack. He is annoyed, but Gi Bbeum makes light of them, telling him she is saving the paper for recycling.

At his own home, Ma Sung is also eating dinner. Ironically, the menu for tonight is red gurnard, which (hilariously) annoys him.

Before bed, Ma Sung goes to his room of notes to write down his memories for tomorrow. He is careful to detail each part of the day, but when he gets to his meeting with Gi Bbeum, he tells himself. “It is a blessing to forget about such incidents,” and leaves her out.

Back at Gi Bbeum’s house, she heads to bed in the room she shares with her younger sister. Laying down on the bottom bunk, she wistfully stares at the headshots of her former self tucked in the bars above her head.

At precisely 10pm, Ma Sung lays down to sleep.

We watch as the light around him darkens and then reemerges with the dawn. As is his custom, Ma Sung awakes and goes to take a shower. But as he stands under the water a memory of Gi Bbeum from yesterday flashes through his mind. Startled, Ma Sung stands dripping and wonders who the woman is in his mind.

Now on a mission, Ma Sung rushes to his Memory Room to read over his notes from yesterday. But, of course, there is nothing to be found about the mystery woman. Still more baffled, Ma Sung calls his secretary to come quickly.

The secretary arrives carrying Ma Sung’s replacement shoes. Ma Sung hands the man a sketch he has drawn of Gi Bbeum with her mound of fish and camera parts. The driver wonders if maybe the woman was just a nightmare of Ma Sung’s. But Ma Sung reminds him that he hasn’t had a dream in three years. After determining it wasn’t a dream, he realizes excitedly that Ma Sung remembered something for the first time. (I’d disliked this guy before, but his reaction is so genuinely happy for Ma Sung I might have to change my mind.)

Across town Gi Bbeum enters jerk cameraman’s office cautiously. She tries to give him clothes for his family as a peace-offering, but jerk cameraman won’t even let her near him. The broken camera’s lens alone will cost him almost $2,300 to replace. Gi Bbeum is very penitent and promises to buy the lens for him. Jerk cameraman accepts her offer but fires her anyway, convinced she brings bad luck. Gi Bbeum relents, but only if he promises to delete the embarrassing video he took of her. Angrily, he barks that the video was deleted when the camera broke. (I smell a rat.)

Calmly, Gi Bbeum heads to work at her shop, “Fantastic.” Her phone is filled with text messages from people, but they aren’t customers with orders. Instead, the phone rings with one hateful anti-fan text after another. Without expression, she replies a reminder to them to only text with orders.

At the same time current star Lee Ha Im(Joo Yeon) sits in her van taking selfies on her phone. Her assistant begs her to exit the van for the shoot, but Lee Ha Im keeps the door locked. She calls him on his phone to tell him she won’t come out today because the dust is too heavy. The assistant tries to relay her message to the director but is only told to try again.

Outside the van, Nan Joo and her team stand impatiently waiting for the spoiled starlet. As they do, Gi Bbeum calls Nan Joo’s phone to tell her she has been fired. Nan Joo is actually relieved she isn’t working for jerk cameraman anymore — she was sure he was a con artist anyhow. Gi Bbeum assures her he wasn’t. However, Nan Joo is not convinced and questions whether Gi Bbeum made sure the embarrassing video he took of her was deleted. Gi Bbeum assures her he wouldn’t upload it. (I have a bad feeling about where this is going.) Since she’s jobless now Gi Bbeum asks if she could work at Nan Joo’s shop every day now, which Nan Joo emphatically answers her she can.

They hang up, but Nan Joo forgets to end the call. Gi Bbeum continues to listen as Nan Joo’s team begs her to not let Gi Bbeum work with them. Annoyed with them, Nan Joo defends her friend vehemently. Sighing heavily, Gi Bbeum she presses the end button on her phone.

At Ma Sung’s company, his aunt stands in her office talking with her advisors and Ma Sung’s secretary and doctor. The advisors tell her that her son, Ki Joon(Hoya), left the US early and has arrived in Korea already without her knowing. Mom is furious and tells them to freeze his credit cards.

Her face now slipping into a smile, Aunt asks them how Ma Sung is doing. They tell her of the “Healing Village” he is creating for dementia patients. Although a good intention, they are concerned that the village will not be profitable. She then turns to ask Ma Sung’s doctor how Ma Sung is doing physically. He tells her honestly that he is not improving. Turning her attention, she asks Ma Sung’s secretary, to ask for his schedule. (This woman is giving me the creeps. Every time she is around she is trying to put down or control Ma Sung or Ki Joon.)

Downstairs Ma Sung tries to lead a meeting on his new “Healing Village,” but his mind keeps distracting him with the memory of Gi Bbeum.

After the meeting ends he goes to visit his doctor. The doctor is confounded to hear about his new memory, but Ma Sung has a theory. (I forget Ma Sung is a neuroscientist too.) He believes that the reason this memory was saved is because of a special relationship he must share with the mystery woman.

Afterwards, Ma Sung asks his secretary to locate the woman in his drawing. But the secretary is incredulous and scoffs that Ma Sung has become weirder lately, first with the new shoes and now this. Baffled, Ma Sung retorts that he bought his own shoes in Milan long ago. But the driver assures him he asked him to buy an identical pair yesterday. Ma Sung shakes his head, wondering why he asked for replacement shoes.

Across town, Ki Joon stands in front of his entertainment agency building, sighing happily. As he does, Lee Ha Im’s van pulls up to the building. Ki Joon immediately recognizes her as the woman his mom slapped at the beauty shop and happily tries to start a conversation. Lee Ha Im, however, isn’t interested. But when she tries to enter the building, she can’t remember her password and Ki Joon has to let her in.

Inside, Lee Ha Im talks with her manager about some new scripts she’s been looking over. (Gasp! It’s Gi Bbeum’s horrible manager from last episode.) She isn’t happy with the scripts she’s been offered, insisting that she can only star in a “masterpiece.” Her manager cruelly puts her down, even comparing her to Gi Bbeum when she threatens to end her contract. Lee Ha Im is finally annoyed but subdued.

Upstairs, Ki Joon enters his entertainment agency just as his manager tells an assistant how he hates Ki Joon and wants to humiliate him. But Ki Joon only hears “humiliate” and thinks it is a joke. He eagerly tells his manager he ran into Lee Ha Im downstairs. The manager is impressed, but Ki Joon declares she really wasn’t as pretty in person, nothing like Gi Bbeum.

However, his manager doesn’t agree and tells him that the only way their tiny company will survive is if Ki Joon can sign Lee Ha Im. Ki Joon pouts that he thought he was going to be a big star for them. But the manager tells him that he can’t make a comeback right now and suggests he give up and crawl back to his mom. When pressed, they admit Ki Joon’s company is broke. It is then that Ki Joon realizes his mom has cut off his funding.

Back at his office, Ma Sung is puzzling over his new shoes when Ki Joon calls his phone. He tries to ignore the call, but Ki Joon bursts through the door, surprising him. It is the first time Ki Joon has seen Ma Sung since the accident three years ago. They bond for a moment before Ki Joon adorably (and hilariously) begs his cousin to buy him lunch.

On the way they fuss about everything from the menu to the car music. But Ki Joon has a special surprise for Ma Sung. Instead of a restaurant, he takes him to his entertainment agency, “Star Entertainment.” Ki Joon starts to tell Ma Sung his tale of financial woe, but is interrupted immediately. Ma Sung saw this trap coming from miles away. He may have money, but he is a doctor not a real estate investor.

But Ki Joon persists. There is someone he needs to save. Ma Sung is intrigued at that choice of word, but Ki Joon will only tell him it is someone who was wrongfully framed. Ki Joon brings all his cuteness to bear and begs his cousin to invest in him. Ma Sung finally asks how much it costs; at which point Ki Joon launches at him in a hug. (Aww, loving the bromance here.)

Moments later, Ma Sung signs the contract over lunch. As Ki Joon stuffs his mouth, Ma Sung questions him about the strange memory he has had today. Through his food, Ki Joon declares it must be an unrequited love that is causing Ma Sung to keep thinking about her. Perhaps she is his lover? (This kid is smarter than he acts.) However, Ma Sung is unamused.

After lunch, Ki Joon drops Ma Sung back off at work just as his phone rings. It is the manager’s assistant with terrible news. The embarrassing video of Gi Bbeum is online.

Around town Gi Bbeum’s brother discovers people watching the video and calls to warn his sister. Too late Gi Bbeum rushes to jerk cameraman’s office. The building is empty.

At the same time, Ma Sung discovers his secretary watching the clip. The man shows him the video, but instead of laughing like everyone else, Ma Sung is startled to recognize the woman from his memory. The driver laughs in amazement when Ma Sung tells him this is the woman they are searching for. How can they be searching for THE Joo Gi Bbeum?

But, having lived out of the country before his accident, Ma Sung has no idea who Joo Gi Bbeum is. The driver pulls up an old news video to watch from when Gi Bbeum was accused of killing Min Hyung Joon. The newscaster explains that even though Joo Gi Bbeum was found not guilty, her image was ruined and all her supporters and sponsors turned on her. His interest piqued, Ma Sung asks his secretary to look for Joo Gi Bbeum.

Not long after, the secretary returns. He has discovered Gi Bbeum’s online store, a phone number where she can be texted to place orders, and her home address.

Later at home, Ma Sung stares at the note with Gi Bbeum’s contact info. After hesitating, he throws the note to the ground — only for it to stick to his foot.

Back at their store, Nan Joo scolds Gi Bbeum for not confirming the video was deleted. As Gi Bbeum literally pulls her hair in frustration, a text message alert rings on her phone. It is Ma Sung with a message: “Can I place an order?” When she doesn’t respond right away, he adds “20 pieces of clothing.”

But Gi Bbeum can’t imagine anyone would place an order with her right now and ignores his text.

When she still does not answer him, Ma Sung sends another text, “I mean, 50 pieces.” Now Nan Joo and Gi Bbeum really think he is crazy.

Deciding it is still not enough, Ma Sung sends a final text. “100 pieces!” This does it. Nan Joo and Gi Bbeum bounce with joy as they realize what a sale like this means for them. Trying to keep her voice calm, Gi Bbeum calls her new customer.

“Hello, I’m from the Fantastic Shopping Mall” she cheerfully chirps when Ma Sung answers. Her voice stays business like as she confirms that he really wants his large order, but outwardly her whole body riggles with joy. He confirms he does want his order, which send the two girls into thrills of excitement.

“But I do have one condition.” Ma Sung interrupts their joy to announce. “The owner of this cellphone, so in other words, the owner of this shop must deliver the clothes herself.”

Thinking this a very suspicious request, the girls tell him that it isn’t possible. But when Ma Sung threatens to cancel his order, Gi Bbeum immediately relents and agrees to come herself.

After hanging up, Nan Joo wonders whether the customer is some sort of weirdo to make that request. But Gi Bbeum karate chops her in reply. “I’m more concerned about not getting any orders!” She snaps and hurries off to gather the order.

Soon after Gi Bbeum crosses town carrying a big black bag full of clothes. She calls Ma Sung’s cell for directions. However, instead of directly telling her where his house is, Ma Sung sends her through a series of ridiculous lefts and rights and up flight after flight of stairs as a test of her character.

Finally in front of Ma Sung’s house, Gi Bbeum moans to herself, “Of all places. I used to live here.”

Seeing her outside his door, Ma Sung nods his head. It really is the girl from his memory. The door open, Gi Bbeum pulls her black burden awkwardly inside.

But when she raises her eyes Gi Bbeum is astonished to see Ma Sung is her mystery buyer. “You’re the one who placed the order?” She says in amazement.

Inside Ma Sung continues to test her patience by ordering her to pull her load of clothes to the bedroom and then the bathroom. But when Gi Bbeum goes to the various places without needing to be told where they are, he becomes very curious.

Gi Bbeum doesn’t want him to know she was the previous owner, though, and tells him that house plans are all very similiar. Ma Sung doesn’t buy it.

“You know me, don’t you?” He asks her directly. “This is a very important question to me so answer me seriously. I feel like you know me. Perhaps did we used to date?”

But Gi Bbeum misunderstands his meaning, assuming that he is asking because he is a flirt who can’t remember her from among his many dates. “We didn’t date.” She snaps at him. Still annoyed, she wonders aloud if it bothers him that he broke the camera lens yesterday. This triggers a memory of the camera breaking for Ma Sung, and he offers to pay for the damage.

Gi Bbeum tells him the totals for the camera lens and the clothes he ordered. After transferring the money into her account, Ma Sung tells her that he doesn’t really want the clothes afterall. He had called her to ask a question and he believes the reward was enough for the cost of her time. She can “throw the clothes out”, he tells her.

Tearfully Gi Bbeum asks if he will regret his decision. (I spy a deeper meaning.) But Ma Sung retorts that he won’t regret what he won’t remember tomorrow. (I know that this answer makes sense from his perspective, but from from Gi Bbeum’s viewpoint, ouch.) Before leaving with her clothes, Gi Bbeum straightens and tells Ma Sung that although these clothes might not be worth anything to him, they are her a matter of survival to her.

But standing outside his house, Gi Bbeum is far less brave. She crouches down in the street and reminds herself not to cry. (Sniff! I’m not crying, you are.)

On street in front of Gi Bbeum’s home, Ki Joon sits watching the road. When suddenly Sa Rang slams down on his windshield making him squeal in fear. She glares at him through the windshield with eyes of death before pulling off and heading inside. But Ki Joon is undeterred and runs after her.

“Is this where Joo Gi Bbeum lives?” He asks her. Sa Rang retorts that it is her house before turning to go. As she leaves we see her shirt again rudely states “What are you lookin’ at!?!”

Just then Gi Bbeum herself comes walking down the road awkwardly dragging her black load. Ki Joon’s smile explodes across his face when he sees and goes running toward her. “You’re still shinning as ever, my first love.” He says happily.

However, Gi Bbeum has no idea who he is and pulls back in confusion. “Who are you?” She asks. In reply he tells her they were in a drama together five years ago and that they even kissed.

At that Gi Bbeum does start to remember. In flashback we see a much younger looking Ki Joon awkwardly chewing his nail as Gi Bbeum creeps playfully up behind him. But instead of telling Gi Bbeum he loves her, Ki Joon fouls up the line and says he “persons her.” At that the director cries cut in exasperation…apparently this isn’t the first time.

Back in the present, Gi Bbeum really does remember him, which delights Ki Joon no end. Ki Joon notices her bag of clothes, and Gi Bbeum admits “some weirdo” bought them and then didn’t want them. She figures that she seems pathetic for bringing the clothes back. But Ki Joon assures her she is just thrifty. Gi Bbeum says she isn’t sure what to do with the clothes, at which Ki Joon beams. He has the perfect idea.

Cut to Gi Bbeum and Ki Joon driving up to a street full of homeless people. Moments later the people dance in joy as they wear Gi Bbeum’s new clothes and the givers give eachother a high five.

Back in his study, Ma Sung is again trying to write in his journal. But he can’t stop thinking about Gi Bbeum. He reaches a hand up to feel his heartbeat. “That woman has a way of making people feel uncomfortable,” he notes.

Moments later we see Ma Sung sitting in his car. Strangely, He is wearing sunglasses even though it is night. He reacts as a car’s headlights pass in front of his car. “What am I doing?!” He asks himself, but ends up driving anyway.

On the road in front of Gi Bbeum’s home, she and Ki Joon are saying their goodbyes after their fun afternoon. After she leaves, Ki Joon does a happy dance. He could not be happier to have been with his idol. “I’ll make you big again.” He quietly promises.

Before Gi Bbeum can reach her house, though, Ma Sung arrives at the door. He walks into the front yard and heads up to the curtain door. But before he can know Sa Rang screams “It’s a thief!” at the top of her lungs. Ma Sung is confused and laughs that she thought he looked like a thief. But cocky Sa Rang insists he did and tells him to get lost before walking around him to go inside.

Just then Gi Bbeum’s dad comes up drunk as ever and accuses him of eating the ramyun from the bowl in his hand. Ma Sung assures him he did not eat the ramyun. Dad decides to believe him and let him “pass.” By now Ma Sung is very confused and turns to leave, but Dad calls him back for a lecture on the dispossal of cigarette butts. (Bwahaha!) When Ma Sung assures him that he doesn’t smoke, Dad again agrees to let him “pass.” Again Ma Sung turns to go and again Dad calls him back to ask if he knows how much government spending is wasted on trash people don’t sort properly.

Before Dad can “pass” him again, Gi Bbeum comes up and sends Dad inside.

After seeing Dad is safely inside, Gi Bbeum turns to ask Ma Sung what he is doing there. Ma Sung doesn’t answer though, and instead questions her about who the people are that he just met. Gi Bbeum answers him but then demands how he found her. He tells her that he found the address on her website.

But Gi Bbeum flatly responds that she never put her home address on her website. Skirting the issue, Ma Sung tells her he came for the clothes he bought. Gi Bbeum tells him that she doesn’t have them anymore, which Ma Sung assumes means she sold them again. He marvels at her amazing survival skills. But he isn’t mad. If she doesn’t have his clothes, he will accept a few minutes to talk with her instead. (Awkward lover boy is adorable.)

Gi Bbeum refuses to talk to him for even two minutes. Ma Sung feels very put out by this and scolds her for not even talking to him when he has gone through so much hardship to come here.

“Why should I have to waste my precious time on you?” Gi Bbeum snaps back. “I can’t even spare one second. I don’t want to.” (You tell him, girl!)

Ma Sung is flabbergasted and wonders at her confidence in ignoring him, especially considering the position she is in. Gi Bbeum assures him that confidence does not come from the environment, but the heart.

“So this is why people hate you so much.” Ma Sung softly observes. “Because of your unwarranted confidence.” (Too far, Ma Sung. Don’t you dare hurt our tender girl.) He notes her many anti-fans, finally deciding there is no way he would have aquainted himself with someone like her.

He leaves, but Gi Bbeum follows pounding after him and throws the bag she was holding hard against his back.

“What are you doing?” He asks her.

“I’d like to ask you the same thing. What are you doing?” She snaps back. “Why? Are you angry? Hurt? Like me, do you feel it is unfair? Evil jerk.” Ma Sung sputters at this, but she continues, “Why didn’t you show up that day?” By now she has Ma Sung’s full attention. “You even kissed me,” she tells him.

Ma Sung is astounded and repeats, “I kissed you?” But Gi Bbeum assumes that he can’t remember because he doesn’t want to. Ma Sung begs her to be more specific, but Gi Bbeum angrily tells him she shouldn’t have to remind him.

“It’s because,” he tells her sadly, “I can’t remember that I’m asking.” But Gi Bbeum misunderstands believing he is a playboy. She firmly warns him never to fall in love and hurt someone with his memory again. She adds for him to never acknowledge her again, even if they see eachother.

“Is this how we broke up?” He asks her quietly. “Did you try to push me away while I tried to stop you? Well, now it is time for you to decide.”

“Decide what?” She huffs back.

“Whether it would be okay for me to remember you tomorrow. Or if I should erase you.”

At this Gi Bbeum breathes in sharply. Her eyes drift down to the tattoo of the memory flower on Ma Sung’s hand. “Don’t remember.” She tells him and walks away.

Ma Sung nods his head, but his eyes follow her sadly as she goes up the stairs back home.

My Thoughts:

Although I am still in love with this show, Ma Sung’s personality change has really been for the worse. It feels like his dementia has affected every part of his character and caused him to be rigid and rough — like every other snotty kdrama chaebal. I am really ready for Devilish Joy to return my happy puppy.

Also, the way he interacts with Gi Bbeum is strange. I get that he is self-concious about his inability to remember and has gone to great lengths to keep it from being noticeable, but come on! EXPLAIN IT TO HER! She has no idea that he can’t remember her so she completely misunderstands everything he says to her. If he really thinks that she has this deep connection to him he might want to rethink his way of treating her. Does he expect her to want to know him after he harrasses her and tells her she isn’t worth remembering?

Ki Joon on the other hand is entirely adorable. I love how he manages to find the greatest joy at the smallest thing, like when Gi Bbeum remembered his name. And I don’t even mind how obsessed he is with her, although it does border on stalking, because he is more of a daddy long legs than a full on stalker. Seriously, this kid has a heart of gold.

The exact opposite is Ma Sung’s aunt. This woman is giving me chills in the biggest way. The way that she secretly watches and controls every part of her son and Ma Sung’s life feels so wrong. And seriously, why is Ma Sung’s doctor even telling her everything she asks? What happened to doctor/patient confidentiality? Ugh.

But it is interesting to me that all of our characters in one way or another tie into a theme of protectiveness in this drama. Ma Sung’s aunt showed it by being overprotective of her boys; Ki Joon showed it through his obsession with restoring his “first love” to her former glory; Gi Bbeum’s friend and family had it constantly; and Ma Sung showed it most of all in the first episode when he was drawn to Gi Bbeum because she needed rescuing from the gang of thugs. If she hadn’t need him he might never have been attracted at all. And then we saw it again when he saved her from drowning and was oddly protective and sincere about promising never to leave her.

I wonder how much further the drama will take the protective theme. It would be nice to see if they can tie it into Gi Bbeum’s relationship with Ma Sung more. Maybe Gi Bbeum could use some of her bright spunk to protect Ma Sung from himself and others…especially that weirdly protective Aunt.

So what did you think of Episode 2 of Devilish Joy?

Recap: Devilish Joy Episode 1

Recap: Devilish Joy Episode 2 Even though Ma Sung and Gi Bbeum have found each other again, things are not as easy the second time around.
