Mary Stayed Out All Night - episode 2

antpowerThis episode took me forever, because it was just too adorable and I ended up making something like 400 screencaps, and then they were all too pretty and adorable to cut back and I had to force myself to choose! But I can't be amusing for 400 screencaps, and I think I've learned a valuable life lesson in the process, which is "not every pretty expression JGS makes needs to be captured". Or something.
So, this is the episode in which the plot thickens (or at least begins. Kind of), and... well, not much else, but JGS wears this pretty green cardigan that sets off his prettiness, and that's really all that matters.
In case you missed it click here for episode 1
So, as you'll remember from last time, Mary's dad stopped off while being on the run from the Korean Yakuza, only to find A REALLY HOT GUY IN HIS BATHROOM, OMG! Of course, awkwardness ensues.
Mary's dad doesn't like the look of JGS, damn hippie layabout! He also assumes the worst of Mary, which is a bit rich, on account of he's left her alone to go on the run from the Korean Yakuza all this time, so it's not like he's mecha responsible or anything. Plus, dude she's like 24, if she wants to go off shagging some hot indie rocker with shiny hair, good luck to her!
JGS is unfazed, on account of he's totally maggoted and I'm pretty sure he doesn't know what's going on.
Mary's dad doesn't like JGS on account of there was a similar love-triangle situation (only with less wacky hijinx. I assume) with Mary's mama and Waffles papa and he thinks that Mary's mama should've chosen the rich guy who is way less annoying, even if he is a bit creepy.
The Korean Yakuza come back again looking for Mary's dad, because they have terrible timing and are trying to thwart the budding love between Mary and JGS. Mary's dad does the manly thing and escapes out the window.
Meanwhile, Waffles papa is still being creepy.
He goes into a flashback of the cemetery scene from last episode, where Mary's dad is trying to pimp her out to anyone who comes to mourn. He just struck it lucky with Waffles papa, really.
Waffles is at the Korean drama office, which is all handily set up and well-established even though everyone in the company has been in Japan for the last 20 years. Waffles decides that the only actress who can be in his drama is Annoying Actress with Good Hair, even though she never acts in dramas. He wants to find out where she gets her hair cut.
Waffles decides to go see her and talk her into doing the drama with his suave waffley skillz. He finds her doing yoga to JGS's band in some fancy hotel.
At that very same hotel, Mary has shown up to bring her dad fresh underwear and stuff. Mary's dad doesn't actually need fresh underwear (well, he probably does, but that's beside the point), he's trying to trick her into an arranged marriage meeting with Waffles. He's decided they need to speed up the marriage process on account of JGS being so pretty and stuff.
While Mary's waiting for her dad/Waffles, this famous actor dude shows up with his entourage. Mary calls one of her annoying friends to tell her, but her annoying friend doesn't believe her (Mary still hasn't given her a lift home), so Mary says she'll get an autograph and a picture with him as proof.
He won't let her take a photo, and when she picks up her phone to call her friend to tell her about the autograph, evil manager (whose name is Manager Bang, lol) accuses her of taking a photo. The other dude tries to take Mary's phone and in the resulting scuffle, Mary goes flying and knocks into a waiter and her phone gets broken. He then drags Mary into one of those quiet side rooms that are so often in hotels and accuses her of being one of those swindlers that are taking over Korea. Things seem dire for Mary but then Waffles appears! He gets rid of the mean guy and offers Mary money in exchange for signing a waiver. Mary thinks he's a bit of a tool, and that this whole scene was pretty annoying and just an excuse to paint Waffles in an unflattering light.
After freaking out at the size of the cheque and waiting for her dad to show up some more, Mary gets a phone call at reception. It's her dad, telling her of his genius plan for meeting Waffles. Mary is underwhelmed.
Mary goes to meet her dad (in a bridal wear shop) and he tries to sell her on the good points of Waffles. She accuses him of pimping her out to pay off his debts and he gives her all this malarkey about how it's because he wants her to have a good life and stuff. She also has reservations about the motives of the Family Waffles. They end up having a big fight in the bridal shop.
Mary then takes the only logical option available to her - she runs away from home. On the way out, she notices something that wouldn't have been glaringly obvious the last time she left the house. He's left his phone there as well (she notices this when going through his stuff again), so at least she has something fun to do while homeless.
JGS is using his pretty power to get his band a gig. This kind of works, but the creepy club guy says he only wants JGS. I guess he's only human. I'm not really convinced of creepy club guy's band booking credentials, because who would think an indie rock band would sound better with only the pretty guitarist and no drums or anything. I should probably stop questioning logic now, though, before we get into the rest of the episode. Anyway, he's still pretty.
The other band members are a bit sulky over not getting the gig, but other guitarist knows that JGS did the Right Thing and they have a sweet moment where other guitarist says JGS shouldn't let the rest of them hold him back. It's heavily implied he should go into gay porn, or some other field where he's predominately naked. Not really, I just made that up.
Then Mary, that smart little cookie, uses JGS's phone to call the drummer and tell JGS that he needs to get his shit back.
The band are hanging out in the park getting drunk after their hard day's auditioning, and they think Mary is delightful. They tease her about JGS and stuff and she gets adorably shy and hides behind her scarf. She tries to give JGS back the money he gave her when he wanted to move in to her house, but he doesn't take it.
JGS guesses that Mary ran away from home, because they're in tune and stuff.
He also guesses she wrote a note to her dad when she ran away from home and spazzes out a bit at how cute she is and pinches her cheeks again. This cap isn't of that though, this cap is of JGS being hot. Also, I think he stole Matsujun's jacket.
Mary is going to be on her merry way, but the band guys are taken with her and make her go for drinks. They ramble on drunkenly, but I think they're trying to say that they think JGS is taken with her as well.
Mary's friends show up, because she's finally given them a life home and she's going to stay with them while she's homeless, but they decide to stick around and drink with the band, because JGS is super hot. Her friends are way less annoying when they're around the band guys.
Anyway, because Mary's friends are spazzing out over JGS, the bass player gets all pissy because JGS gets all the attention and says they may as well break up the band. The other guitarist takes umbridge at that and this escalates into a bar brawl, which they politely take outside.
JGS doesn't get involved in the fight because he's a pacifist. Also, I'm not too sure he has a clue what's going on. It doesn't matter, because he's pretty.
Mary makes him at least go outside and watch, if he's not going to do anything about it. I'm not sure why, except that everything's more scenic when he's there.
Mary gets bored of trying to break up the fight, which is more just a flailing contest anyway, and goes to hang out with JGS.
Thus begins the most adorable scene since the cabbage of love.
It involves a lot of scrunchy face nose crinkles while they make animal noises at each other.
He pretends to be this cool indie rocker type, but actually he's just a big dork.
The cute moment is ruined, however, when the cops show up. They're actually the PLOTHOLE POLICE, so everyone freaks the hell out.
Mary stands around a bit stunned (hasn't noticed the plotholes yet), so JGS grabs her hand to pull her into a running montage of much shiny hair tossing.
They come out in this alleyway after losing the police, and JGS accidentally knocks into this pair of unthuggish thugs. The thugs pick a fight, naturally.
They say lots of mean things to JGS but he just ignores them, because he's a pacifist. Mary asks why he doesn't fight back, and he just makes more cute dog noises at her.
Then the thugs call him an unlucky jerk and he SNAPS LIKE A REALLY HOT TWIG! And punches them in the face.
They have a happy reunion with their friends at the police station, and their friends say they'll wait outside, so to hurry up because they want to drink more. JGS is still all broody and hot from being called unlucky and won't apologise to the thugs, even though the nice policeman says he should because otherwise the thugs will press charges.
Mary apologises on his behalf, because she doesn't hold with swindling, but the thugs/swindlers say they don't need her apology and then they call JGS an unlucky jerk again. He tries to punch their heads in again.
Mary distracts him by calling him "honey" and drags him off into the stairwell, on account of she has an awesome plan.
This plan somehow works, even though anyone with eyes could see JGS wasn't injured before he went into the stairwell with Mary. Maybe they felt sorry for him for being beaten up by a tiny little cute-as-a-button girl. Anyway, they're released.
JGS is grateful for the help anyway, and he notices Mary doesn't use formal language with him anymore. She says that's because she was his fake girlfriend, which somehow leads them onto talking about marriage. She says he'd be a terrible husband because he's good-looking, lazy and bad-tempered. This all seems quite random, but we're not worrying about logic anymore.
Anyway, then Mary's phone starts ringing in JGS's pocket, and he tells her she has like 30 missed calls. They're all from her dad, saying "YOU HAVE TO MARRY WAFFLES, STAT!!!" Mary is a bit worried, so her drunken friends come up with a really awesome plan. Like you do when you've been drinking all night and have just left the police station.
They think that if Mary's dad thought she was ALREADY MARRIED, he wouldn't make her marry Waffles. JGS is ignoring them all, because they're clearly idiots.
He still agrees to be the fake groom though, and then they have the cutest montage ever, even cuter than that gay cooking montage in Korean Hanadan. It's the fake wedding pictures montage!!
They send the fake wedding pictures off to annoying dad with the air of a job well done, and the drunken friends decide to go eat/drink more. Mary and JGS are both tired and decide to go back to their respective friend's houses to sleep, they decide after this, they never need to see each other again. Because that isn't tempting fate/the gods of kdrama at all.
They have an extended goodbye scene.
Because we need to feel the weight of the moment, of the blossoming love cut down before it's time and all that. Or something. They both turn back as they are leaving, but they don't see each other do it. It's all symbolic and stuff.
Incidentally, Annoying dad and Waffles papa were breakfasting together when annoying dad got the message with the wedding pictures. It's okay though, because they have A PLAN!!!
Waffles gets annoying actress to sign the drama contract, he doesn't bank on getting her opinions on everything else too, like how she thinks he'll do in an arranged marriage and blah blah blah. Dude, you've met him once, as if you know what will make him happy at home. Take your good hair and stfu.
Anyway, so Mary's dad calls her friend and says it's okay, Mary can come back home, all is forgiven. Mary should probably suspect something's up, because her dad is a giant clotpole, but she goes on home anyway, only to find that her dad has FORGED HER SIGNATURE ON WEDDING DOCUMENTS AND MARRIED HER TO WAFFLES. She uses her will of steel to refrain from punching him in the face.
She takes the marriage certificate to a lawyer to see if it's legal and stuff.
The lawyer says that the only way to get out of it is to tell them her dad forged it, and then her dad will go to the big house. For some reason, she doesn't go ahead with that, and the lawyer says the only other thing is to get a divorce.
Waffles meets with his dad about the whole thing. He doesn't see why it has to be Mary, if she doesn't want to marry him, can't it be anyone? Waffles dad says NO IT MUST BE MARY OR I WON'T GIVE YOU MONEY TO MAKE YOUR STUPID DRAMA, on account of being creepily obsessed with her, and Waffles doesn't push it. He thinks that if they give Mary 100 days to get to know him and then ask her to choose after that, she will definitely pick him. Nice waffley confidence there, buddy. Also, nice neat little story hook.
Mary gets told about the 100 day deal and goes to meet JGS in a bar. She doesn't tell him why and he thinks it's a bit weird, on account of them never seeing each other again. Plus she doesn't drink. And he has places to be, on account of being an incredibly busy indie rocker and stuff.
However, he can't resist the cuteness of Mary, especially when she's clearly upset about something.
She asks him what his dream is, and he says to live the life he's living. He asks her dream and she says to have a simple life, with a family and no Korean Yakuza and stuff.
He thinks she's had a pretty hard time of it, so makes dog noises to cheer her up. They are clearly the most adorable couple to ever adorb and should just go and have puppies together right now.
Because he's being all cute and WAN WAN, Mary gets up the nerve to show him the marriage certificate and ask him to help with the 100 day deal. She says he doesn't need to do anything, just loan her his name. He says "No, nuh-huh, no way, I am not fake marrying you again" and stalks off to play pretty music in the park. Butterflies rest on his shoulder and fluffy bunnies come to listen. Possibly also unicorns.
Mary helps him collect up the money that the bunnies and unicorns left and then pleads with him to help her. He says if Waffles is so rich and handsome, just go and marry him then. He refuses to cave in the face of cuteness and leaves her there begging in the park. Like a beggar.
Because Mary's a plucky little heroine, she refuses to give up and follows him.
He's not doing anything particularly interesting, but she's an awesome stalker anyway. Even though he clearly knows she's there all along.
Mary thinks stalking is totes boring, even if she is kind of awesome at it. She wonders if she can come up with a Plan B as awesome as her Plan A.
He eventually loses her, with his wily ninja skillz, and Mary is left walking home alone in the dark. Because Korea is full of swindlers and thugs and people who forge marriage certificates, Mary encounters some Bad Guys. They make Bad Guy noises at her and it's all very scary.
But then, like a prince from a manga, JGS appears and wards the Bad Guys off with his prettiness.
Mary's feet are all cut up from her stalkering (even though they weren't when she couldn't catch the bus that time and had to walk all the way home - maybe office shoes are more comfortable than runners??). JGS tells her she's a pain in the arse, but he doesn't mean it, on account of he's buckling to the cuteness again.
He piggybacks her home, because he's perfect. And then he agrees to the 100 day deal, because after all she's only using his name and nothing can go wrong with a plan like that. He asks what she'll do after the 100 days and she says she'll pick neither, she only has to get through the 100 days for them to cough up the cash, and then it's kimchi all round. Clearly, this plan is also flawless.
The Family Waffles get the deal in writing. They weren't born yesterday, even if the whole 100 day deal idea is a bit stupid. I mean, the guy makes dramas and it's clearly affected his brain.
Dumbass dad draws up a husband schedule, Waffles gets daytime and Sundays, JGS gets nights (until 10pm) and Saturdays. He's in high spirits now he's pimped out his daughter, and Mary is too distracted by trying to restrain herself from punching him in the face to wonder what she's going to do all those nights she's supposed to be hanging out with her shiny-haired indie rocker fake husband.
She calls JGS to tell him about the husband schedule, but he doesn't really care on account of he doesn't think it's got anything to do with him. Her dad comes in and catches her on the phone and he decides he wants to meet JGS. Mary talks him out of it pretty easily and so he puts up a 100 day countdown on her wall. She has to go to sleep early, on account of she has to be up first her first day of the waffles schedule tomorrow.
She gets to Waffle's house the next day and is surprised by how big it is. Dude, the guy had enough cash to buy you from the Korean Yakuza. And, I mean, it's no Domyouji mansion.
Inside, she thinks it looks more like a model house than a place where people really live, but she's totes stoked at the huge telly and settles in to watch some dramas, because Waffles isn't home. Then promptly falls asleep, as she's been having hijinx instead of sleep lately. While she's napping, Waffles comes home.
She wakes up by falling off the couch, and it takes them a moment, but finally they recognise each other. WOWSERS! WHAT CAN POSSIBLY HAPPEN NOW????
Episode 3
So, this is the episode in which the plot thickens (or at least begins. Kind of), and... well, not much else, but JGS wears this pretty green cardigan that sets off his prettiness, and that's really all that matters.

JGS is unfazed, on account of he's totally maggoted and I'm pretty sure he doesn't know what's going on.

Waffles is at the Korean drama office, which is all handily set up and well-established even though everyone in the company has been in Japan for the last 20 years. Waffles decides that the only actress who can be in his drama is Annoying Actress with Good Hair, even though she never acts in dramas. He wants to find out where she gets her hair cut.

He eventually loses her, with his wily ninja skillz, and Mary is left walking home alone in the dark. Because Korea is full of swindlers and thugs and people who forge marriage certificates, Mary encounters some Bad Guys. They make Bad Guy noises at her and it's all very scary.
But then, like a prince from a manga, JGS appears and wards the Bad Guys off with his prettiness.
Mary's feet are all cut up from her stalkering (even though they weren't when she couldn't catch the bus that time and had to walk all the way home - maybe office shoes are more comfortable than runners??). JGS tells her she's a pain in the arse, but he doesn't mean it, on account of he's buckling to the cuteness again.
He piggybacks her home, because he's perfect. And then he agrees to the 100 day deal, because after all she's only using his name and nothing can go wrong with a plan like that. He asks what she'll do after the 100 days and she says she'll pick neither, she only has to get through the 100 days for them to cough up the cash, and then it's kimchi all round. Clearly, this plan is also flawless.
The Family Waffles get the deal in writing. They weren't born yesterday, even if the whole 100 day deal idea is a bit stupid. I mean, the guy makes dramas and it's clearly affected his brain.
Dumbass dad draws up a husband schedule, Waffles gets daytime and Sundays, JGS gets nights (until 10pm) and Saturdays. He's in high spirits now he's pimped out his daughter, and Mary is too distracted by trying to restrain herself from punching him in the face to wonder what she's going to do all those nights she's supposed to be hanging out with her shiny-haired indie rocker fake husband.
She calls JGS to tell him about the husband schedule, but he doesn't really care on account of he doesn't think it's got anything to do with him. Her dad comes in and catches her on the phone and he decides he wants to meet JGS. Mary talks him out of it pretty easily and so he puts up a 100 day countdown on her wall. She has to go to sleep early, on account of she has to be up first her first day of the waffles schedule tomorrow.
She gets to Waffle's house the next day and is surprised by how big it is. Dude, the guy had enough cash to buy you from the Korean Yakuza. And, I mean, it's no Domyouji mansion.
Inside, she thinks it looks more like a model house than a place where people really live, but she's totes stoked at the huge telly and settles in to watch some dramas, because Waffles isn't home. Then promptly falls asleep, as she's been having hijinx instead of sleep lately. While she's napping, Waffles comes home.
She wakes up by falling off the couch, and it takes them a moment, but finally they recognise each other. WOWSERS! WHAT CAN POSSIBLY HAPPEN NOW????
