Cha
Hong-Do suffers from social phobia and has a problem with severe blushing. Her
grandmother was her only contact to the outside world. One day, Cha Hong-Do's
grandmother dies. Cha Hong-Do then begins doing housework as a maid, but
disguises herself as an old woman. Through an incident, she meets a
psychiatrist, Ko Yi-Seok.
Episode 1
The drama starts
with a quick compilation of their childhood and adolescence and we see how he
moves on and keeps growing as a rather normal child while she becomes an
outcast and prefers solitude.
Turns out that
he is a psychiatrist, book author and a jerk. But he just happened to coolly
save a woman from jumping to her death.
She turns out has become
an old lady. Ok, ok, she is just dressed as one. She has social phobia but
seems quite ok being around people while she’s dressed as a grandma. She is
competing for a housekeeping job and in the end she gets a job doing something
else (typing the patron’s memoirs) in the same household.
Her illness is presented
by him, while talking in a TV show. A smooth way. And we have transition to
Hong Do (lead female character) who is wearing a helmet and running around in
the night with a thermos. There’s quite a large amount of people out in the
street for that time of day or should I say night?
She delivers a thermos a
few streets away. She puts it in a sort of cooler hanging from a door. Then we
get to meet the second lead man; Jang Doo Soo. It seems that she likes this guy
enough to run out when there’ so much people around to give him food and she
has been doing it for 7 years. Why? Anyways he looks charming. He gets
distracting with a phone call and she runs away. Only she is now so lost in
thought that she doesn’t seem to mind all the people walking in that residential street at
that time of day. That given the fact that the guy is a detective going home
and there’s another guy vomiting in the street we can only assume is very late at night.
Now
we meet the lead man’s girlfriend, by the way his name is Go Yi Seok. They are
in a very expensive restaurant ordering champagne, you know, every day stuff. Back
to the girlfriend, she is a news announcer and at least she seems smart, not
just your average bimbo I’m-the-girlfriend-of-a-rich-jerk-cuz-he-has-money. He
sweet talk her saying that even though he doesn’t express his feelings often
they are sincere. He gives an expensive necklace inside of a Russian doll (for
some reason). In the end he just want sex and she agrees. He leaves in the
middle of the night but not before the girlfriend reveals that he has some sort
of sex or sleeping trauma or perhaps something about caring for people… I’m not
entirely sure yet.
Its
like too many dramas at once: Flower Boy Next Door meets It’s Ok, It’s Love.
Don’t
you guys feel like once there’s a theme every drama goes about that? Like a
trend but it’s like all the writers gather in a classroom and someone says:
“This season you must have “a person with a sex trauma” or “someone who can’t
talk” or “a set of fraternal twins”. I wonder…
We are back to Hong Do and we can see that her land
lady charges too much money so that’s why she absolutely needs the new job. We
can see that she reads a lot, knows a lot of perhaps useless facts that will
end up being useful and that she has practically everything in her house.
Everything including Yi Seok’s new book which she uses as a table plate for her
hot pot of ramen. This makes the cover of the book (which just happens to be
his face) to stick to the bottom of the pot, eventually making her to red the
book in one go.
She is charmed by what
he wrote and is convinced that he could cure her so she goes out in her
scooter, during a time of day in which the traffic is really heavy. Her social
phobia is once more, forgotten.
Oh it’s Sohee! Ok her
name here is not Sohee, it’s Go Se Ro. Seems like it’s Yi Seok’s little sister
and she wants to be an actress.
Go Yi Seok is seeing his
patients but being the full ass jerk that he is, he hates it. Why is he even a
psychiatrist then? Jeez. He even drinks in between patients, but don’t be
fooled, he is not drinking perfume, is rum.

Now he’s with this guy
who seems just lost his wife, but Yi Seok is having some sort of attack and yet
the patient doesn’t seem concerned that his doctor is acting this way.
Hong Do arrives at his
office and the secretary runs off to the bathroom. She hears some screaming
(Hong Do, not the secretary, she’s in the bathroom!) and opens the office door
and we witness what seems to be the doctor stabbing the patient with a fountain
pen. But could as well be the doctor trying to prevent this from happening. Is
very vague…
Hong Do freaks out and
the doctor comes back to his sense (he is drunk on perfume rum remember)
and ask her to call emergency, she does but she is freaking out so the mobile
goes to Yi Seok who eventually puts it in his pocket. Why? Oh well…
Now we meet again Doo
Soo, the police detective/one sided love of Hong Do for 7 years. Go Yi Seok is
being held as a suspect for attempted murder but he doesn’t remember a thing
and Hong Do is held as a witness but she is so shocked she is not talking at
all. So Doo Soo comes to save the day and recognizing Hong Do’s helmet head
(Jeje just like Crayon Pop) approaches her in an appropriate manner. He brings
paper, pen, sweets and a bag of cups. He asks her to write or draw what she saw
while he builds a tower. Seeing that id Doo Soo she blushes even more. Her face
right now is literally red.
She draws a quite
elaborate picture. Like really, if it was me, I would draw stick figure only
complicating things more. Anyways, she draws a quite elaborate picture that police
Doo Soo shows to jerk suspect Yi Seok. Yi Seok being the jerk he is gets all
mad about it saying that is not concise evidence and storming into Hong Do’s
interrogation room barricading just the two of them there. She is freaking out
and he is running and harassing her around the room. He takes her helmet off
and notices that symptoms of her condition but still treats her badly. She
finally shouts at him telling him that all the evidence point out that he is
the perpetrator. Doo Soo finally opens the door and punches Yi Seok in the face
ending the harassment.
He eventually runs to
his girlfriend’s place but she shows up with another guy. Which I could bet is
just her brother, but you know, he didn’t stop to ask. He then storms off
towards his office where all the phones are ringing. His girlfriend then text
him and dumps him, over a text message. Yikes. He hears some messages that are
left on his phone. His coffee commercial just got cancelled!!! And that does
it. He needs some drinks right about now! Why a psychiatrist is booked for a
commercial anyway?!
Hong Do arrives back
home and realizes that Yi Seok had pocketed her phone earlier.
Back to Yi Seok, so he
is drinking, alone in his office, from a bottle he found on the clinic kitchen.
What? Why was that there? Is he out of his perfume stash on his office?
He just finds one answer to all that has happened just today. Suicide. Just the
day before he saved someone from it and now he is getting ready to do it
himself.
Hond Do arrives at his
office. She wants her mobile back. But why would she even go there? I mean, I know he
is there but why would he? Does she expect to find her phone on the ground? And
she would be breaking and entering, that besides disrupting a crime scene.
Now Yi Seok is putting
his head thru the ties that will end his life while suddenly he hears a message
from the cops. They called saying that he is innocent! The man before stabbed
himself. Yi Seok is so surprised that he accidentally kicks his chair and is
now, literally hanging on for dear life.
But just now… wait for
it… Hong Do enters the room! She kicks the door and her hair under the helmet
flies with the wind while her background is all red. Pfft. The way she enters, just like
Chuck Norris or something. It feels like “Cool Guys Don’t Look At Explosions”
should be playing as her background theme song.
So
episode one has just ended. I am sort of curios as to what is going to happen
now. But there are a few things that I know because I read the description of
the drama. Such as the deal with her grandma and why she’s dressing up as an
old lady, although I don’t really understand yet how that helps her deal with
the world.
I
didn’t laugh a lot with the first chapter, but I feel like there’s another
second lead guy that I will be heart broken about…
