Okay everyone, change into your Big Girl/Boy Pants, because this one needs a lot of fortitude to read. Purported spoilers for episode 19 and 20 of Nice Guy have come out on DC and I’ve translated them. I emphasize again that these are unconfirmed spoilers and not attached to either a long or short preview released by KBS. It sounds plausible though, picking up where episode 18 left off, and wrapping up the story with most of the loose ends tied up. How it wraps up might cause everyone’s high blood pressure to rise, and I’m actually torn as to whether I want these spoilers to be true or not. If these are indeed true, then I have to trust that Lee Kyung Hee has all the delicate details that will pepper these last two episodes to make it more than just what the narrative proposes will happen. From the very beginning, NG has been a drama better than what it set out to do, taking the simplest of narrative anchors (revenge, obsession, memories, mistrust, regret) and making it the more than the sum of its parts. It’s going to be roller coaster ride next week, regardless of whether these spoilers below are true or the finale is something completely different, because we’ve been slowly building up the tension and momentum for the last 18 episodes just waiting for a fitting conclusion to put a stamp on this melodrama that will surely go down as a new classic.
Spoilers for episode 19:
Eun Gi learns from Joon Ha that Jae Hee and lawyer Ahn was responsible for her father’s death and she is determined to seek revenge. On the other hand, Joon Ha finds Maru and tells him what he did not tell Eun Gi, that his father was responsible for her mother’s death. Joon Ha reveals that he is leaving Tae San Group and entrusts Eun Gi to Maru, asking Maru to take good care of Eun Gi. After the meeting Maru asks Eun Gi to meet at the park. After learning the truth about her father’s death from Joon Ha, and hearing that Maru wants to help her take down Jae Hee and lawyer Ahn, Eun Gi decides to trust Maru one more time. She is anticipating the meeting with Maru at the park. Maru, who is holding the envelope containing the evidence, runs into Jae Hee at the park. Han Jae Hee sobs and confesses all her wrongdoing and expresses her regret. She is planning to turn herself in to the police. Eun Gi witnesses Maru embracing a crying Jae Hee and is once again broken hearted by her decision to trust Maru yet again. She decides to let go of Maru once and for all. Lawyer Ahn finds out that Jae Hee is planning to give up Tae San and he sets his plan in motion to have Maru killed. As Maru heads home after parting with Jae Hee, he is stabbed by Jae Shik and collapses. Maru is rushed to the hospital….
Spoilers for episode 20:
Maru’s surgery has started. Eun Gi hears from Jae Gil and rushes to the hospital. Jae Hee also rushes to the hospital in tears. Maru’s surgery ends but he’s still in critical condition. The doctor says he can die at any moment. Jae Hee tells Eun Gi that the person Maru really loves is Eun Gi. When Eun Gi hears this, she is dumbstruck and berates herself for being locked in the prison of her memories which caused her to continually misunderstand Maru. Jae Hee learns that lawyer Ahn was behind the attempted murder of Maru and she goes to the police station and turns him in, along with herself for the Chairman’s death. They are both arrested. Maru still has not regained consciousness. Eun Gi sits beside Maru’s bedside everyday waiting for him to awaken. She tells herself that she will be patient, she will never get tired of waiting for him.
A few years later, Eun Gi is leading Tae San Group and the company is thriving. But when she goes home at night she just stands in front of the window in a daze. Maru has awakened but Eun Gi is not by his side. Eun Gi is scared of approaching Maru now. Because of her misunderstanding after she regained her memories, causing her to hate a man who loved her deeply, she does not have the courage to walk towards him. Jae Gil finds Eun Gi and asks her to help Maru regain his memory. Eun Gi gets up her courage and walks up to Maru’s house. She hears someone calling “Seo Eun Gi, Seo Eun Gi” and she sees Maru standing in front of the wall calling for her, with her name written on the wall but misspelled. With tears falling down her face, Eun Gi walk towards Maru just like he walked towards her when she had lost her memory. She writes her own name on the wall and Maru turns to her and smiles with tears falling down his face…..
My thoughts:
OH. MY. GOD. I will be patient and wait and see, wait and see….. If this is true then I know Lee Kyung Hee will make it work. If this is fan fiction then it is a damn good one and I remained completely freaked out how the drama will really end. Mu gut tells me this isn’t the ending, but then I’ll take it as a nice distraction while waiting for Wednesday to arrive.

Bloody hell. I was hoping it will end with the amnesia story. That is the best spoiler.
And yeah leah- don't laugh at me. Like I could hold out. Please please, let Maru live. I could live with this ending. Good luck with the episodes this week. See? Your heart can regenerate :-)
omg!!! that works. I can just imagine it in my head. its a good ending. :)
Omigod!! If this is what happens I will indeed name this drama of the year!!! I could see no way of getting past the hurt that these two broken people have gone through, but this sort of 'sorts it out' and like Ms Koala said, we will have to trust the writer to sort the little details in between but so far she has not failed us.
Also at the end can we see them all happy with their kids and Maru and Eun ki being happy and loveydovy together?
Thank you Ms Koala for this!!
I LOVE THIS! If the drama didn't end that way, this is what I'm taking with to the grave yard of Nice Guy! Thanks for the translation!! Love it love it!
NO!!!!!!!! I don't want him to end up with amnesia. Are you freaking kidding me? I haven't been watching for this long just to get that type of an ending. Even if I knew it was predictable since the drama never addressed Maru's condition, I want EG/MR babies, marriage, kisses!! (And I just realized it should be in the opposite order haha)
yeah, i hope amnesia story is not the ending.. i don't like only 5 minutes happy ending, i want to see those things that you mention!! let's pray for it :D
Somehow, Maru losing his memory at the end reminds of the Filipino movie "My Amnesia Girl" where the girl pretends to have amnesia and at the end, her boyfriend gets amnesia...
Maybe that's why I'm still interested but at the same time not as excited now since I've seen something like it...
I still like the story though... But I hope that Jae Hee also confesses to murdering the man in the beginning of the drama. It seems like it has taken a back seat in the story. I know that Mary stopped thinking about that revenge for Eun Gi but I still want closure...
I had to take a moment to compose myself before I wrote this, but I would be completely satisfied with this ending. I don't think that a saccharine ending would work for this drama after all the pain and angst, but I'm happy that this is at least hinting at a happy ending.
Awwwww....I love this! I really do. I imagined that the best way to end is for Maru to lose all of his memories of the past, start all over again. OMG Koala, I really really hope this will happen. I'm crying here. It's PERFECT.
P.S. Thank you so much! *hugs*
OMG OMG... why is DC not working for me atm!? D: Argh, thank you, ockoala... now I can go to bed! Or maybe not!? Oh boy, so many thoughts!
up to the stabbing and surgery part i can totally see this happening.... the rest I am doubtful but I as you have said, Ms. Koala, Lee Kyung Hee will make it work... hopefully...
