Do you guys want the good news or the bad news? Okay, I’ll decide – bad news first. I’m the type that eats the yucky vegetables so I can save the delicious chicken nuggets for last when I got my kid’s meal. The bad news is that I’m attending an all day conference Tuesday and Wednesday (not that you guys care about Wed), but I won’t be able to recap Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) episode 9 on my usual schedule on Tuesday.
I hardly need to apologize since this is my blog and I write pretty much when and what I feel like. But I do feel bad, because I’ve come to really love sharing M3 with you all, and your love for M3 has enhanced my viewing experience as well. Group hugs, everyone! Good news, here’s the written preview for episode 9. I’ll try to get the recap for episode 9 up the in wee hours of Wed morn, but it’ll depend on my stamina and how many cocktails I consume at the cocktail reception prior to that. That’ll be an…interesting recap to read, to say the least.
Written Preview of Episode 9:
Mae Ri and Mu Gyul assuredly reveal their mutual feelings for each other in front of Seo Jun and Jung In. Mae Ri’s dad cannot forgive Mae Ri for confessing her love for Mu Gyul, especially on the eve of her engagement to Jung In.
Mae Ri feels guilty and apologetic to her father. But when she finds a paper plane near her apartment that was sent to her by Mu Gyul, Mae Ri has no choice but to leave with him. Mae Ri and Mu Gyul decide to go on a sunrise date, which ends up turning into a trip to the beach.
The night of the broken engagement, Jung In lies in bed and forlornly looks at the socks Mae Ri bought for him, remembering their time together.
Because Jung In has not won Mae Ri’s heart, and the engagement is off, Jung In’s father has decided to withdraw his investment in JI Entertainment. However, he reconsiders when Jung In reveals that he’s unwilling to give up on the drama production or his marriage, he is determined to win Mae Ri’s hand no matter what. (OMO!)
After much struggle and obstacles, Mae Ri and Mu Gyul finally make it to their vacation destination. At the camping ground, Mae Ri and Mu Gyul finally candidly confess their feelings for each other. It’s the first time they peacefully enjoy a wonderful time together.
On the other hand, someone is starting to meddle in their relationship with each other….
My thoughts:
Oh crap, I hate it when the second lead goes evil, albeit even for a short period of time. I hope Jung In snaps out of it soon, and realizes that Mae Ri was only ever nice to him as a human being ought to treat each other with sincerity and decency. It’s like he was raised by rabid wild wolves and the first woman who was good to him, he seems to think he must be with.
I hope this isn’t the path the drama writer wants to go down, because I totally can get onboard the alterna-OTP of Jung In and Seo Jun. I’ve said it earlier and I will say it again – Mu Gyul and Mae Ri cannot make it work unless Jung In is on their side. I hope he does use this opportunity to finally grow a back bone and stand up to his father.
If Jung In disobeys his father for the first time in his life, because Mae Ri taught him decency and inner strength, and he’s spurred on by a desire to help Mae Ri and Mu Gyul be together because that would make Mae Ri happy, then Jung In is a giant win of a character in my book. Don’t be a sore loser, Jung In, you’re way cooler than that. On an unrelated note – Mae Ri and Mu Gyul go on a date to Nami Island. Super squeeee.

Aaww.. ockoala, I thought the bad news was about something else. :)
need not worry for we will patiently wait until you can do your recap. Even koala's need cocktails!! Hehehe.
And please dramagods don't let Jung In be consumed by badness..He's better than that! I'd still like him to come out as a winner in this one too!
Yippiiiiieee... gomawo ockoala...
I really want to know their reactions after the kiss.
I really REALLY hope that Jung In doesn't join the dark side... for we all know he is not getting Mae Ri, or cookies. I love his character as the neglected rich chaebol changing to a good human being.
And for the romantic vacation/date of MG-MR is <3 can't wait to see them happy ^^
lolz... looks like I might found out what koala's sound like, once they get high on pot-laced eucalyptus leaves after all!
but about that whole Maeri-Jungin-Mugyul dynamic, I'm not too sure about the rainbow there, so long as the end is a nice pot of happy Maeri-Mugyul with some nice sibling love between Jungin and Maeri.... didn't everyone adore that kiss that Jungin gave Maeri on her forehead as much as me? NOOOOO?? O_O ... why ever not? It has all the hallmarks of dongsaeng-y-love in the most platonic way possible!
ps. ockoala, you don't have very many siblings do you? I'm the kid who ate all my fries first, before they got stolen by everyone else... habit that has now grown up with me!
haha in fact there was a study that showed that those with many siblings/had an impoverished childhood ate the good stuff first (because you don't know how long it would last after all!) before the less likeable stuff.
We sure gonna miss you, but enjoy the conference and cocktail party ^.^ We'll be here whenever you have time to dish your (recap) magic.
Paper plane? My heart went "awwww" in reflex... LOL
but the last line gives ominous vibes. can't wait. 5 1/2 hours!! ^O^
I also hope Jung In won't turn into a clingy-2nd-lead. I've just warmed to his character in ep 8. What I want is for this guy to man up to his dad and told him that he will live his life his way, with or without his brand of approval. It's time for him to grow up and be his own man.
Koala, I'm soo happy that u are on board the same Mary loving boat with us! I cannot tell u how much I look forward to ur recaps. Thank u for letting us know that ur ep 9 recap will be late...cause I'm one of those people that wait on pins and needles and wonder why the recap is late! LOL, but of course i don't blame u for having a life outside of writing M3 recaps...Hope u have a blast at the party and WTH, have plenty of drinks! Just not too many or u might not remember the party and wonder at all the pictures u apparently took hugging nearly everyone there (as I did at a friend's wedding)...yeah...i'm all about skinship when I'm drunk, as Maeri had pointed out to Mugyul on ep 1 =)
Aww Jung In... you dont want Maeri... you just need a koala hug... n those hugs last forever n ever...
yes pl dont turn nasty... ur too awesome to be mean..
Thanks for the written preview, we will patiently. :-)
tnx a lot 4 the recap..i love last scene in ep8..my heart want to pop bcoz of the kiss!
Aww Ockoala, we're grateful enough that you're wonderfully doing the recaps although I'm thankful that you remind us of your schedule, knowing that we're all waiting doggedly for the treats ha ha ha. You're super!
Oh my, well if Jung In decides to be like the devil dad that he has, well there is just one team left then (Team Mu Gyul, 'course). I don't want to hate him though. I mean he's just starting to be human now...
