Not Bad! A Good Start!
(The TV rating of the KBS2 weekend drama “Marry Me” is 18.5%.

Jisuk's facial expressions are very similar to those in the 1st episode of “Pure 19” … an Iceman again! ^-^
Personally, the pushing, shoving, and hitting between Jin Jin (Bae Doo Na)
and Dong Ah (Lee Chun Hee) gets on my nerves!

Foreman A: I am very sorry. I did control the site. However, those night-shift workers felt exhausted.
Gang Suk: Where is Manager Kim?

Ji Suk: How come it is you to pick me up? Chauffeur Kim could pick me up. What an honor!
Gangi Suk: You have gone abroad for 1 year. Why shouldn’t I come to pick you up?
Ji Suk: Don’t you feel tired to live like this way? You could just do a good job at our father’s side. It is about time that you feel tired of always serving me. I admire your endurance!
In the local market, a woman is yelling at Jin Joo for a mess of her food dropped at the ground. The woman complains that Jin Joo is out of her mind running around the neighborhood.

Gang Suk comes to his father Lee Joon Ho’s office.
Joon Ho: I learned that there was an accident at the construction site.
Gang Suk: Yes. I just come back after I handled the accident.
Joon Ho: I heard that the representative of workers asks us to prepare for the workers compensation.
Gang Suk: Yes.
Joon Ho: They are just hourly workers. Why should we have to give them workers compensation?
Gang Suk: If we don’t handle this accident quickly, there might be similar event happen again.
Joon Ho: Don’t go into lawsuits! Managers should be open-minded.
Gang Suk: Yes.
Joon Ho: Why do you behave stiffly every day? No one will get close to you if you always look stiff. You have to learn how to get close to people if you want to manage them.
Gang Suk: Yes.
The night club hasn’t had good business. Jin Jin and Dong Ah work for the night club. Jin Jin does multiple tasks and Dong Ah works as a bodyguard. Jin Joo sells roses at the club as well.

At Joon Ho’s home, Joon Ho wants Ji Suk to start working the next day. He receives Jung Nan’s phone call. He asks Gang Suk to take Jung Nan home.

Gang Suk: Yes. I will get my car key.
Joon Ho: Don’t bicker with her!
Gang Suk comes to the night club table where Jung Nan and Woo Hyun sit.
Gang Suk: Why are you here?
Jung Nan: Why do you come here?
Gang Suk: Who do you think will come here?
Woo Hyun: Your son? He stills has his childhood looks.
Jung Nan: Greet to my old friend!
Woo Hyun: Ah! Your son really looks good! (shakes hand with Gang Suk) My name is Jung Woo Hyun.
Gang Suk: I am Lee Gang Suk.
Woo Hyun: Have a seat! Let’s have a drink!
Gang Suk: I am sorry. I can’t drink because I have to go to work tomorrow.
Jung Nan: Sit down! Your mother’s friend wants to have a drink with you!
Gang Suk: You are drunk! Get up!
Jung Nan: I am not drunk!
Gang Suk: I want you to get up!
One the street, Jung Nan doesn’t want to go home and she wants to have more drinks at a street snack stand.
Gang Suk: Don’t drink anymore.
Jung Nan: Let go of me! Your father lives right across the street, but he doesn’t even want to see me!
Gang Suk: Don’t you know my father? You know that he wouldn’t come to see you.
Jung Nan: I know! …. I know it clearly more than anyone else! The great CEO Lee is not that kind of man who would come out to see his concubine when she calls him!
Gang Suk: Why don’t you speak louder? You could tell people that you are CEO Lee’s concubine.
Jung Nan: Do you hate me?
Gang Suk: Yes.
Jung Nan: I like your frankness. (talks to the owner of the snack stand) Please give me a dish of meat and a soju!
Gang Suk: Don’t drink anymore!
Jung Nan: What else can I do except drinking!
Gang Suk: (talks to the owner of the snack stand) Please give me a dish of meat and a soju! (talks to Jung Nan) Why do you come back from Hong Kong?
There are more wines there!
Jung Nan: No funs there!
Gang Suk: You could drink until dawn.
Jung Nan: It is no fun to be with people speaking different language from mine.
Gang Suk: Go! Back to Hong Kong!
Jung Nan: No!
Gang Suk: What do you plan to do here?
Jung Nan: Irritate you!
Jung Nan: That woman is not like me, right? I mean that woman you call ‘Mom’.
Gang Suk: Yes.
Jung Nan: You are so cold-hearted. Even your father is not as cold-hearted as you are. You must have been exchanged in the hospital when you were born. You should have a DNA check-up.
Gang Suk: I will have the checkup done later.
Jung Nan: Ha Ha … You don’t like to be my son, right? You probably wish that you are that woman’s son just like your elder brother.
Gang Suk: I have never had that thought.
Jung Nan: That’s why you call that woman ‘Mom’ but don’t call me ‘Mom’.
Gang Suk: Do You want me to call you ‘Mom’?
Jung Nan: Forget about it! I don’t want to force people. Make a phone call. Ask your father to come out! Tell him that I have words with him. Ask him to come out quickly!
Gang Suk: Tell me, and then I will pass your words to him.
Jung Nan: I don’t want to tell you!
Gang Suk: Then you could tell him when you come to our home next time.
Jung Nan: I want to you ask him out! Ask him to come out!!
Gang Suk: Enough!! Quit fussing! You know very clearly that your trick won’t work!
Jung Nan: Trick? Like a child making a fuss?
Gang Suk picks Jung Nan up. Jung Nan hugs Gang Suk and says, “I really hate to sleep… hate to sleep..”
Some gang people come to ask Dong Ah to work with them. Dong Ah refuses and get into a big fight with them.

Dong Ah spots Yoon Suh trying to commit suicide. But, Yoon Suh turns around and leaves.
Gang Suk calls a taxi giving Jung Nan a ride to her home. Jung Nan says to Gang Suk, “Gang Suk, I still don’t feel apologizing to you.” She shed tears when she is in the taxi.
Gang Suk and Dong Ah bump into each other. Dong Chul runs to Dong Ah telling him that Jin Jin and Jin Joo are in the police station. Then, Dong Ah and Dong Chul go to the hospital trying to convince the man injured by Jin Jin not to file a lawsuit against Jin Jin.

[Screen Captures] Highlight of Episode 1 (7/29/2010)
(credit: MBC)
I watched this10-minute highlight video clip, very interesting!
Jisuk looks very cool in this clip!!
I wonder why Na Jin Jin (Bae Doo Na) keeps hitting Ha Dong Ah (Lee Chun Hee)
every time she sees him ... which becomes annoying in this 10-minute clip.
