Secret premiered on KBS this past week to some pretty dismal ratings, which either means that their time slot is still cursed by previous drama Sword and Flower, or that the hype machine wasn’t strong enough. Alternatively, it could be the sense of d. Self- sacrificing Candy heroines and haughty second- generation chaebols and untimely deaths, oh my! If you can pretty much guess the rest, does that mean the secret’s already out? EPISODE 1 RECAPWe open in the midst of a hit- and- run trial, where defendant KANG YOO- JUNG (Hwang Jung- eum), already convicted, takes to the stand for sentencing. Unshed tears fill her eyes as prosecutor AHN DO- HOON (Bae Soo- bin) lists her crime aloud—not only did her irresponsible actions take the life of a young woman, but also that of the woman’s unborn child. Do- hoon sentences her to five years in prison. The sound of the judge’s gavel seals her fate. The next sequence is shot like we’re in someone’s acid- fueled nightmare, otherwise known as a wild pool party for the super rich. Our hero, JO MIN- HYUK (Ji Sung) isn’t all that interested in participating until it comes to besting his friend in a wooing competition with a well- known actress. Min- hyuk has only to swoop in with a charming smile and a hotel room key before they’re making out in said hotel room, with the actress stripping in front of Min- hyuk before she takes the requisite foreplay shower.“This is no fun at all,” Min- hyuk sighs. Aww, you poor thing. Life is too easy for you, isn’t it. Min- hyuk is gone by the time the actress is out, but he’s thrown away her only set of clothes to prove that he’s a real class act. ![]() Ray craftily turns what looks to be misfortune, after Debra and Marie fight, into a night of passion by helping Debra channel her. Ah, so we’re in a flashback to explain the events leading up to the trial, since we find a cheerful Yoo- jung working as a designated driver for hire. She has to struggle to put on her passed- out passenger’s seatbelt, and as she’s leaned over him he opens his eyes to ask, “Who are you?”It’s our errant rich jerk Min- hyuk, who’s no stranger to designated drivers. But while stopped at a light, Min- hyuk bolts up from his seat when he recognizes a woman on the sidewalk. It’s only when Yoo- jung is already driving that he yells at her to stop the car, before he decides to take matters into his own hands by grabbing the steering wheel from her. Yoo- jung screams as they swerve dangerously through traffic, unable to gain control of the car when Min- hyuk’s trying to kill them. She skids to a halt in the middle of the street, whereupon Min- hyuk jumps out and starts running haphazardly through busy lanes to try and catch up to that woman. He loses her once he gets to the subway, and so he eventually returns to Yoo- jung and his car, only he wants to drive and she refuses to let him. She even tries taking the keys, but Min- hyuk literally wrestles her to the asphalt to pry them from her hands. She manages to steal them back and throws them over the bridge and far out of their reach. Min- hyuk sets to chasing her. I know he’s drunk, but what’s her excuse? Yoo- jung runs for her life, leaving Min- hyuk stranded. Later, she treats her scrapes and bruises from her scuffle with him while her friend chastises her for not using her prosecutor of a boyfriend (guess what, it’s Do- hoon from the opening) to go after Min- hyuk, but Yoo- jung quickly shushes her—Do- hoon doesn’t know she’s working as a designated driver and she wants to keep it that way. She and her friend go back and forth over the merits of staying faithful, which Yoo- jung would know more about—her and Do- hoon have been together for seven years, and she’s 1. Still drunk, Min- hyuk wanders to a small rooftop apartment of someone he knows. When banging on the door gets no answer, he uses a key to get inside, unknowingly stepping over a scattered pile of unopened mail. There isn’t even one light on. Uh oh. He fails to notice anything amiss and passes out on the bed. We enter another flashback as he remembers being woken up by his then- girlfriend SEO JI- HEE (Yang Jin- sung), who looks a lot like the woman he was trying to drunkenly chase down (which I’m sure was the point). Apparently, him going to her place to sleep off a hangover wasn’t unusual, but at least their life was idyllic and sweet. They bicker romantically while wrapped in each other’s arms, and as Ji- hee leans down to give him a kiss, the Min- hyuk of the present sheds a tear in his sleep. It was only a dream, and he wakes up on her bed alone. His secretary knew to find him there and tries warning him against coming to this apartment to sleep as per his habit ever since Ji- hee went missing. Min- hyuk could care less about his father’s business when Ji- hee is still yet to be found. Ah, so that explains why he was so desperate to chase down that woman who looked just like her. As for how long she’s been missing, we don’t know. ![]() A short cut to Do- hoon shows him preparing for a job interview(?), while a short cut back takes us to Min- hyuk as he tries sneaking into his lavish estate unnoticed, despite the fact that there’s at least one maid per every square foot in the house. Min- hyuk’s little sister catches him on her way out to school right before their father, CHAIRMAN JO (Lee Deok- hwa) all but drags his errant son into a meeting to discuss the fact that he’s bleeding money without contributing a single thing in return. Chairman Jo wants to take back Min- hyuk’s inheritance and give it to his brother instead, and vows to dissolve his upcoming marriage to a rich heiress. Min- hyuk need only half- heartedly promise that he’ll do his duty as a son for his dad to give him another chance, but he has to promise to pay more attention to his future bride. The woman who vouched for him in front of his father helps him out again by giving him a ring for his fianc. So far she’s only tried to help him out. In true Candy style, we find Yoo- jung working another odd job as a toll booth cashier. What’s less Candy- like about it is that she’s working all these jobs to help support her boyfriend, a fact that everyone knows. Still, Yoo- jung is nothing but chipper about it. Min- hyuk picks up his fianc. He sees it only for the business deal that it is—her family has the important political connections, while his has all the money—but he’s at least happy that they knew each other as friends first. The Tanners invite Cindy and Rusty over again for a backyard barbecue. Rusty writes a phony love letter which causes confusion as each member of the household reads. If you felt like the big raid at the end of “Who Goes There” was a turning point for True Detective, good work—here’s a special commendation from the. Liv eats the brain of Dungeons & Dragons fanatic, and Don E. Oh Hye-Won, works as the director. Directed by Bill Anderson. With Katia Winter, Tom Mison, Louise Dylan, Olly Alexander. The fabulously successful Oxford-based fantasy novelist seems to Lewis to be. Secret: Episode 1 by HeadsNo2. Where does the time go? Secret premiered on KBS this past week to some pretty dismal ratings, which either means that their time slot. She’s not, and tells him he can just throw the ring away. Since neither of them really want to get married, Min- hyuk proposes a deal. If she brings up dissolving the marriage first, he’ll give her anything she wants. He just can’t be the one to suggest it, because his father would literally wring his neck. While driving home from the airport, they end up driving through Yoo- jung’s toll booth. Since he doesn’t have money to pay her, he happily offers her collateral instead—the diamond ring that Se- yeon refused. I like his cheeky reply to Yoo- jung’s shock by reminding her that she’d just told him she loved him (as part of her greeting to every customer, she says, “I love you, Customer!”), so why refuse a loving gift? He forces her to take it by tossing it to her in the booth while Se- yeon mutters a protest. Yoo- jung jumps out of the booth to try giving the ring back, but Min- hyuk rolls down the window just enough to grin and tell her that he’ll come back to collect it tomorrow. Yoo- jung chastises him for not respecting the almighty dollar as well as the woman sitting next to him, but Min- hyuk just leaves her as a speck in his rearview mirror after a wink and a smile. Se- yeon is angry, though she denies that it has anything to do with the fact that he gave her ring away and more because it made someone like Yoo- jung pity her. It seems like more than that, though. After Yoo- jung’s coworker marvels at the expensive ring, she ends up tsk- ing Yoo- jung for spending an insane amount of time an energy making Do- hoon a cake for their seven- year anniversary when he hasn’t even called her all day.“You’ll only get hurt by doing this,” her coworker mentions after sucking on a helium balloon, and Yoo- jung’s happy- go- lucky smile disappears for the briefest of moments. Maybe she knows it’s true. Do- hoon ignores Yoo- jung’s call as he meets a woman (he can’t be such a douche that he’s on a date, right?), but in order to save face in front of her coworker, Yoo- jung talks as if he picked up the phone. Ouch. We cut to Do- hoon’s mother as she discusses the blind date she sent Do- hoon on, which tells us right away that she has no love for Yoo- jung. But maybe not by choice.)Unfortunately for them I suppose, the naive Yoo- jung comes to their humble home with her arms full of groceries and the cake she made. Do- hoon’s father has the decency to look just a little bit guilty as he limps to the door to let her in, and his mother hurriedly hangs up before Yoo- jung can hear anything. Yoo- jung acts the part of the perfect daughter- in- law, preparing a full meal despite Do- hoon’s mother’s protests. Does she not understand social cues, or is she choosing to ignore them? She ends up having to pick up Not Mom’s cellphone, and the matchmaker for Do- hoon’s blind date immediately starts talking—the woman loved Do- hoon, and her rich family is ready to buy him an office. Yoo- jung definitely hears all this even though she passes the phone to Not Mom as if she didn’t. Denial isn’t just a river in Egypt. Not Mom tries every kind of hint available to get Yoo- jung to leave, and Yoo- jung eventually listens. She must know they don’t want her there, but acts like it’s all okay. After she’s gone, Not Mom has no qualms about eating all the food she left behind for Do- hoon, even noting that Yoo- jung is a good cook despite the fact that (wait for it) she doesn’t have a mom. Phew, thank goodness she reminded me before I forgot that orphans are the lepers of drama society and are to be expunged at any cost lest they spread their parentless- ness to any able- bodied, talented child on their way up the social ladder.
