How shall I put this? I read Javabeans’ recap for episode 12 of Mary Stayed Out All Night (Marry Me, Mary!) yesterday, and I was planning to contend with her assertion that the drama had lost its mind. I wasn’t planning to use empirical evidence, but merely note that comparatively, it wasn’t all that nonsensical. Yeah, today I’m forever putting that argument aside. Guys, M3 has officially lost its mind! But you know what? I LOVE it! Because it’s suddenly decided to try out makjang AND take that double marriage into levels of cracktasticness hitherto never seen before. THIS, people, I gotta see to believe.
The written preview for episode 13 made my jaw drop, and then I started giggling like I was in a tickle fight. There is nothing anyone can say to convince me that this drama, which I love to pieces, has a semblance of rational plot or consistent character development anymore. But what it always had, and still has, is a love story between two people that I will defend to the death as being utterly romantic, sweet, and life-affirming to watch. I’m happy and feel satisfied to have decided to watch M3. If I have to put up with some crazy plot to get us to the finish, I am more than happy to do so.
Written Preview for Episode 13:
Mae Ri’s dad, after finding out the ring is a fake, angrily runs to Mu Gyul’s apartment. Mae Ri and Mu Gyul’s cohabitation is in danger of being discovered. The three of them commence a late night cat-and-mouse pursuit.
Even though Mae Ri’s dad suspects that Mae Ri is still seeing Mu Gyul, but under the circumstances, he decides to take a step back and just watch and see. Jung In, who is worried that their new living together marriage contract will be discovered, suggests that Mu Gyul also move into his house. Even though they all feel awkward and nervous, the three of them decide to move in together.
Jung In’s dad is announcing to the world about Jung In and Mae Ri’s upcoming wedding. Mae Ri is wearing her wedding gown and is with Jung In. Seeing this, Mu Gyul turns and leaves in frustration. Mae Ri goes to see Mu Gyul to try and deflate his anger. She runs into Mu Gyul’s mom, who asks that Mae Ri break up with Mu Gyul.
Jung In has discovered the real relationship between his father and Mae Ri’s mom, and he is very upset. Mae Ri, who doesn’t know the truth, finds herself feeling distant and awkward around Jung In, who is treating Mae Ri with coldness.
At the filming of the music video for the OST title song, Seo Jun cannot understand Mae Ri, who she thinks is continuing to carry on a romantic relationship with both Jung In and Mu Gyul.
During the filming, a prop tumbles down, and Mae Ri is in danger of being injured. At this time, Mu Gyul rushes towards Mae Ri and tightly pulls her into his arms……
My Thoughts:
Is there anything else to say? This plot development is beyond my wildest imagination. Seriously? We have a threesome now? I know it’s all innocent, but the new writer is really taking the ball and running with it. Rather than being bored, I’m giddy as a school girl waiting to see the insanity unfold. This new plot is crackier than Boys Before Flowers, and I love it so much more than when it happened in BBF.
Rather than watching Mae Ri, Jung In, and Mu Gyul mope for 6 more episodes, the new writer is creating forward momentum, however out-of-this-world it may seem. If I had to choose, I’m much happier with the latter.

Oh My ! This so great >_<
I wanna see Moo Gyul, Mae Ri and Jung In cohabitation !
Seriously, for once a drama does not become depressing and keeps its freshness, enjoy it !
I think I'll join you in the tickling fight ^O^ ROFL... that's the direction ep 13 is going? Then bring it on... it sounds insane, but funtastic insane ^o^ I, too, prefer this to any kind of moping scene... seriously can't wait for Monday to be here.
I cannot thank you enough for providing cracks to our addiction. From the bottom of my heart... _(_"_)_
I totally agree with you. I'm totally addicted to this show and joining in with the tickling fight...LOL
I would totally love to see a pillow fight at JI's house!
i never read dramabeans' recaps coz i know her thoughts suck! (im sorry but its just my opinion) :D
cant wait for monday!! but its kinda sad that its nearly ending.. =(
thank you for this!!! :)
I only read dramabeans' recap after watching the subbed episode itself. It's just sad to say that most of those people who keep on posting negative comments about MSOAN only rely on recaps and watched just few episodes of the drama lol. You can't say the a book is good when you've only read few of its chapters!
I watch Korean dramas simply because I want to be entertained and relieve my stress from work. I'm confident to say that MSOAN did a great job in that department! I have no qualms about the script nor the plot whatsoever. Why would I worry about those when at the end of the day, I was drawn to Mae Ri, Mu Gyul and Jung In's lives, laughing and crying with them?!? After all, that's the essence why we all watch dramas :)
Agree, agree!!!!
I totally agree with you. I don't want to come home after a sad and cold winter day to watch intellectual drama as depressing as the weather outside. I'm a student, at the end of the day I'm done with intellectual things, I just want to watch funny, happy, lovely moments to feel good about the world. Go! Go M3 ! Even if it goes crazy!
i stopped being bothered by negative comments too coz it got me thinking if they did not like M3 why the heck do they still clamor to read recaps? and some are quite vehement in their negative comments. which makes me think, perhaps they like it in secret?
dunno, but if i find something disappointing, i simply drop it and move on to the next thing that pleases me, or perhaps that's just me. lol!
i too, don't read recaps before watching the subbed version, otherwise i let other's opinion sour my enjoyment of the drama.
agree...why they do the recap if they don't like it??just shut up already...I'm not effected..I just read dramabeans recap and all I can say I hate their recap..I enjoy this drama the most because it boast me up.I hate those sad, depressing drama that usually got ranked...their character is not develop????really??because I can see how they become more interesting and develop in a good way..maybe you got blocks in your eyes so you can see that clearly...
that's why I love koala best...
agree.... i do that too, I mean , after a hard days work just go home and be a part of MG and WM's lives by watching and re watching my downloaded episodes with subs... and giggle to the max...JGS and MGY ar so lovable..
and ockoala, thanks for recaps... great job.. I enjoy reading it... am new here but when i started your work, i keep on coming back...
"Mu Gyul rushes towards Mae Ri and TIGHTLY pulls her into his arms……"
-ohhhh this is going to be intense!! why do i feel like there's going to be another kiss? hehehehe *crosses fingers!!!* ot my imagination is just wild.. hehe
Hmmm.... I missed that. Good catch!
gosh, how i hoped that was Jung In instead :/
go team Jung In♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥
Thats right yogibi..wont be too drepressing after long hard day then they serve us weeping,sad story?angst all the way.I prefer MSOAN!Way to serve good stomache laughing all the way.lucky I found AKP first than dramabeans.
OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!! Monday suddenly seems sooooooooo far away!!!!! (and to make matters worse I have to wait for subbed version!!!!)
agree ! no more monday-sickness..huuuu can't wait for monday ! miss moo gyul and mae ri already ! urrghh !!
Eeee! So excited now! Just the preview had me laughing - can't wait for the actual drama!
I also wanted to argue with dramabeans but agreed with her, too. Like - why did they jump in a dumpster instead of locking the door?
I love new Jung In but also miss his more subtle acting. In #10 when he gets the call about sponsors, and almost loses it for a second - him almost cracking was sheer perfection. But him flopping on a bed and slamming on the brakes was too awesome to miss
You said that the preview made you laugh, so I was looking forward to reading it, though I wasn't expecting to laugh myself since I have kind of a hard sense of humor.
So, yeah. I was drinking something when I got to "[JI] suggests that Mu Gyul also move into his house" and nearly choked and died I was laughing so hard.
LOL. New Writer-sshi, I love you.
0_0 haHA can't wait to see this episode .
let's go crazy with M3 together ;P
Thank you, thank you, thank you Koala for putting this up. I've been waiting forever and refreshing your page every 5 minutes. Reading the preview it's worth the wait. While the plot seems a bit silly, I'm totally loving it. Can't wait for Monday to come.
i am bad at english ,i watch MMM in english. it is nice that it is full of love, full of happiness but i cant understand these person. daddy is sending his dougter to a man's home, boyfriend accept this, marry goes then they live together, what does the writer think?!! i cant understand.
but i love to see them. thanks for the prewiev
"Even though they all feel awkward and nervous, the three of them decide to move in together."
This would be me over here giggling madly. Fortunately I wasn't drinking soda when I read that. Couldn't say I wasn't warned! ::giggles some more::
