Episode 1

I thought this Season 3 will pick up from the epilogue shown on Season 2.  But nope, we still have to look forward how the epilogue came about.

Anyway, it takes a little bit of getting used to the change of actors to the roles we have come to know and dare I say, love?🤣🤣🤣

There is a different actor playing Dong Mi, also for Yu Shin and Pan Sa Hyun.

Be that as it may, the drama is still as bonkers but I hope they keep up the pacing.

Song Won had given birth to a baby boy for Pan Sa Hyun.

Dong Mi tried to get Jia to meet Ami but Piyoung found out about it just in time and ordered Jia’s nanny to take her home.

Piyoung then went to see Dong Mi had scolded her and finally revealed that she knew Dong Mi has feelings for YuShin more than a mother should.

DongMi tried to deny it but Piyoung just laughed at her face.

Yushin and Ami found them still fighting.

Ami realised what she had done and told Piyoung that if she wanted her to leave YuShin she would do it.

Piyoung just ignored her.

Meanwhile, that night Piyoung was woken up by her daughter who said that she could here someone singing in the living room.

Piyoung went with Jia to investigate but she did not see anything but there was the ghostly figure of pervert grandad singing merrily away.

Meanwhile, Si-eun and Hye Ryung were having dinner with Seo Ban when Hye Ryung’s assistant called to say that a drunk driver crashed into their car in the parking lot.

Hye Ryung went to see followed by Seo Ban leaving Si-eun alone and lonely.

Seo Ban returned but she was gone after drinking the whole bottle of red wine and paying their bill.

She was on her way home when she called her ex-husband checking up that he had not topped himself.

She was having a bath when she got a call from Seo Ban who wanted to know why she left.  Their conversation ended with Si-eun confessing that she was also divorced just like Piyoung and Hye Ryung.

Seo Ban asked why he never told him.  He said he wanted to see her.  He would come see her in twenty minutes.

Si-Eun found him in a restaurant near her home.

She started talking about Hye Ryung but he stopped her and said that he wanted to talk about them.

He asked if she was completely over her husband and was there any chance of reconciliation.

She assured him that part of her life was over.

He told her that they should talk again in the morning when they are both sober. He gave her a taster of what he was going to say.  He said that he knew her from before.

Whoa, probably she was his intended bride because she came from a wealthy family but gave up everything to be with her poor now ex-husband.

He was getting her home when he noticed that she was cold.  He immediately took his coat off and drape it on her shoulders and that was how HyangKi saw them.  She got so excited for her mother as he was obviously a step up from her father.

Si-eun told her daughter that Seo Ban was her boss and they were only discussing business but Hyangki was much too excited to believe.

They were rather cute, Seo Ban and Si-eun but that same night, Park Hye Run called Si-eun to tell him that he might have had a stroke when he woke up with one side of his face numbed.

Episode 2

What the heck?!!!

A possessed Jia attacked Dong Mi.

Then Song Won died after giving birth.

Joo Woong, the doctor who was Ami’s biological father died.

Episode 3

OMG, the writers are giving us the sweetest, cutest, heartwarming romance between Seo Ban and Si-eun.

Episode 4

It is a pretty draggy episode but it has its moments.

Anyway, Seo Ban announced during a suprised birthday party thrown for him by Hye Rong that he was officially dating Si-Eun.

Hye Rong was obviously very upset as she had Seo Ban on her sight already.

But it does not look like quite a happy ending for Seo Ban and Si-Eun because while swimming, pervert grandad possessed him. And it looks like an excited Dong Mi was like a magnet to him.

Episode 5

Seo Ban was possessed and asked Dong Mi to have some wine at his apartment nearby.  When then got there, Dong Mi looked forward to having some rumpy pumpy but her pervert husband possessing Seo Ban remembered how he died in the cinema. So he as Seo Ban started attacking Dong Mi.  He pt the fear of god on her.  She run off home and stayed in bed all scared which surprised Ami.

Meanwhile, Ga Bin got her karma.

Dong Ma found her boring and once again told her that he loved her too much so he can’t marry her.

Gabin was incandescent with rage because he had done the same thing with her before.

Meanwhile, Hye Rong went to her ex-parents-in-law while she was so drunk. She wanted to see the baby.  Her ex-father-in-law was very encouraging because he had always a soft spot for her and he reckoned that she could mother the baby.

Seo Ban asked Si Eun to take her in and promises that he will love and be faithful to her as long as he lives.

So Si Eun finally told her children that she had moved on from their father and now dating Seo Ban.

Her daughter was supportive but her son mentioned that he saw his Dad and he has Bell’s palsy.

Seo Dong Ma had been crushing with Piyoung since he saw her at the doctor’s clinic.  He went to see her at the radio station and asked her to dinner saying that he wanted to discuss business.

He took her to a posh hotel and then without beating around the bush, he said that he wanted to marry her.

Episode 6

87% of this episode is about Dong Ma courting Pi-young.

He told her that it was love at her first scream.  He heard her screaming in pain while in the doctor’s surgery.  This woke something within him, something in his heart and soul.

He rebut every hindrance and obstacle she put forward.  He was so sincere and convincing that in the end, Pi-Young agreed to date but it had to wait as he will be away for a month for a business trip in Germany.

Meanwhile, it looks like pervert grandad had finally left this world forever.

Dong Mi was really affected by the beating up so she decided to move out of Yushin’s apartment and back to her own house.

Poor Hye Rong, she had just transferred her attention to Dong Ma after Seo Ban was taken by Si-Eun.

Episode 7

Dong Ma and Pi-young are going strong despite the LDR

But Pi-young is feeling rather awkward knowing the Hye Ryoung now had her eyes on Dong Ma after Si-Eun got Seo Ban first.

Park Hye Ryoon is cured of Bell’s palsy and decided that he would like to be family again with Si-Eun.  He visited the old apartment and told Si-eun and his children that he wanted them to have their old life back.

Si-Eun asked Park Hye Ryoon to go out to the coffee shop with her where she told him that she was getting married.

Park Hye Ryoon was shocked and even his daughter who followed them felt pity for her father who looked so crashed.

Anyway, Jia was finally told by Pi-young that she was divorced from Jia’s father.  She did not tell the nitty-gritty why the divorce happened but Jia did find out when she was in the bookstore with Hwangi and Ram.

Jia saw her father with Ahmi. They did not see her but Jia saw her father leave so she went to speak to Ami who confirmed that she was Yushin’s girlfriend and she now lives with him.

Jia was shocked to know that her dad and Ahmi were shacking up in their old apartment and that her mother knew.  She told Ahmi to tell her dad to have a good life.

Meanwhile, Hye Ryoung had taken up going to her ex-in-laws to see the baby

She was growing attached to the baby who smiles but she noticed by the end of the bed the spirit of the dead Song Wan.

Episode 8

Dong Mi came back from her holiday in Singapore.  She seemed a different woman, more caring and very pleasant which was spooking Piyoung and Ami.

Piyoung encouraged her daughter to forgive her father and try to get along with Ami as she is actually quite a nice girl.  Piyoung told her daughter that Ami to offer to look after Piyoung if she gets ill even if it takes a lifetime.

Dongmi tried to make

Episode 9

Piyoung was feeling as if she won the lottery when she woke up in bed with a gorgeous hunk who promised to take care of her forever.

Episode 13

Pan Moon Ho was absolutely convinced that Hye Ryung was possessed by Sang Won.  So he and his wife hired a monk to confirm with they were indeed correct.

SiEun and Seo Ban got married.  Seo Ban could not be any happier.

Episode 14

Piyoung and Dogma got married.

On their wedding night, she told Dogma that she was three months pregnant from that night when they first slept together.

It looks like, Piyoung is not the only one because Si-Eun started feeling nauseous while she was cooking.

But Poor Hye Ryeong miscarried and back to her old self after the monk performed an exorcism forcing out Song Won.

The trailer showed two men with white pale faces wearing black hanbok and gat.  Are they the grim reapers?  Whose house are they looking at?

Please don’t kill off Seo Ban and SiEun.  Love them.  They are the most decent amongst these lot.

Episode 15

Poor Hye Ryeong was not getting any better. She was back to her old self and was taking out her frustration of having lost her baby on her husband, who regret tangling with her again.

Si Eun is pregnant as well but it was still early days.

Grandpa Seo became very partial to Pi-young which was noticed by Seo Ban who was so annoyed as he was so protective of Si Eun.

Si Eun told him to just chill as obviously Pi Young is younger so Grandpa Seo treated her better.

Episode 16

This ending is most frustrating, incomprehensible, and annoying.  Obviously, it sort of makes viewers want a fourth season.

Anyway, Seo Ban could not take the biasness of his father towards Piyoung so he told him that he was moving Si-eun and their kids out.

Grandpa Seo was apologetic about his behaviour but told Seo Ban that the reason why he was being delicate with Piyoung was that she was pregnant.

Seo Ban understood and said no more about it.

SiEun confessed to Piyoung that she was pregnant as well but she was waiting to go for a hospital check for confirmation.

Piyoung jokingly said that Seo Ban is quite the man.  She thought that SiEun and Seo Ban just held hands🤗🤗🤗

When Si-Eun did go to the doctors, she was so happy of the result, it made her cry.  She asked to go on a dinner date with her doting husband.

She delicately asked him if he thought of having children of his own.

He was sincere and truthful that he wanted to have children once but having her in his life was enough of a bonus.

She told him that he will be a father before the year is out.  He could not understand at first and asked if she wanted them to adopt.

She then told him that she was pregnant.

Seo Ban was so stupefied, that he asked her to give him a pinch.

All this time a couple of grim reapers were camping at the Ban’s mansion with Song Won as a refugee spirit.

Song Wan kept asking them who they had come to fetch but they refused to say because if they divulge it, they will turn into animals and no longer be reapers.

Gabin and the Professor were set up by Dong Mi but Gabin in the end told the professor that the guilt about how they got together the first time was much too much to bear.

Dong Mi inadvertently confessed to Yushin that she killed her husband, Yushin’s father.

AMi warned Yushin that she was leaving him if he did not act upon having Dong Mi sectioned.

He was really upset about it because Dong Mi was a mother to him while he was growing up.

Yushin was in the salon when he saw a very pregnant Piyoung.  He could not believe it but Piyoung refused to speak with him.

Anyway, the Ban Mansion became a happy and hectic place that the grim reapers left.

But soon enough they returned and started stalking Seo Dongma.

Dongma was buying gifts for Piyoung’s birthday when the ceiling tile fell on his head.

He was taken by ambulance with the grim reaper looking at him.

Then some strange things happened.

Seo Ban was back to marrying Song Won.

Ha Shyun was snogging AhMi in the bathtub.

Then the phantom ghost boy who Hye Ryeong could see said that their elder will be taken away.

Does that mean if there is a series 4, Dong Mi will get together with Pan Moon Ho?!!!

I have to admit that I enjoyed this series the most because I love SiEun and Seo Ban’s romance.
