Jin Ha Kyung work fir KMA as a weather forecaster, She s set to marry Han Ki Joon in a month’s time but still her mother was doing everything to make her see ‘sense’
Her mother thinks Han Ki Joon was not good enough for Ha Kyung.
Ha Kyung dropped by Ki Joon’s apartment when she learned that he was under the weather🤣.
On her way back to the office, she was told that hales are expected.
She looked up at the sunny sky and she did not believe it.
It did happen and it created chaos among unsuspecting travelers.
Heads had to role at KMA for their inability of predicting the weather.
Director Choi got so hot and bothered, he had a heart attack.
In the same afternoon, there was another prediction of bad weather.
As Director Choi was in the hospital, Ha Kyung was temporarily made at the Director who got to decide whether to issue weather warnings.
Lee Shi Woo, who earlier predicted the hale had reported that there will be strong rain shower over the metropolis.
Ha Kyung tend to ignore his warning because it has only 5 percent probability. But then neighbourhood forecaster, Shin Seok Ho went ahead and issued a weather warning as he was convinced by Lee Shi Woo of what lies ahead.
Ha Kyung went to speak to Shin Seok Ho determined to give him a piece of her mind but he said she ignored his report of hale.
So Ha Kyung went to speak instead to Lee Shi Woo who would not take any of her bullshit and cost-saving ideas. It happened that it rain when they were still arguing which was getting personal because Lee Shi Woo said that her brain is not 100 percent on the weather. Her wedding is interfering with her job.
Ha Kyung was getting upset and feeling a little guilty because he was right. In fact, she had to turn off her phone because she was getting so many calls about her wedding.
On her way home, she finally checked her phone and saw that Han Ki Joon had not put any deposit to any of the wedding plans that had been canceled.
She decided to see Han Ki Joon in his apartment but found him otherwise engaged in bed with another woman.
Well, the wedding was off but Han Ki Joon was a bastard. He took appliances from there would be marital house. Because he felt guilty cheating on her and jilting her, he offered that she could have the house but now he wanted them to sell the house and get 50/50 after he found out the house price had gone up the roof.
Episode 2
Ha Kyung found out that she almost married a scammer.
It turned out Lee Shi Woo’s live-in girlfriend was the one sleeping with Han Ki Joon.
Han Ki Joon had now married Yoo-Jin.
In order not to make it awkward of Ha Kyung to be always in the vicinity of her cheating ex, her boss told her that she could go to Switzerland for a year.
Ha Kyung turned this down because she thought why should she when she had just been promoted as a director.
Ha Kyung’s sister called her to say that they received a certificate of content from Han Ki Joon against Ha Kyung’s house.
This drove Ha Kyung mad and confronted Han Ki Joon at work. She told him that he had scammed her of money and he would not be getting 50/50 of the sale of the house because his contribution was only about 7%.
Their workmate was aghast how low Han Ki Joon had gotten.
Meanwhile, Lee Shi Woo invited Ha Kyung for a drink after work. After so many sake, they drunkenly kissed and had consensual sex but Ha Kyung was shocked when she woke up with him the next morning.
She told him that they had just to forget what happened.
Episode 3
Han Ki Joon and Yoo Jin’s honeymoon’s period is over quickly after they found that they have different ways of dealing with household chores.
Han Ki Joon likes a tidy house and quickly realised that he married a slapper, who leaves her clothes and knickers in every available surface and the washing up undone.
Meanwhile, Ha Kyung and Shi Woo are getting along fine if rather awkwardly.
One day Shi Woo asked Ha Kyung if she likes him which rather shocked Ha Kyung with a point-blank query.
Shi Woo explained that he would like to know if she likes him because it would be pointless if it would be a one-sided relationship. Ahhh
So he more or less confessed to her already. So cute.
Episode 4
Ha Kyung and Shi Woo are secretly dating. They agreed that as soon as their relationship is found out, they will break up amicably.
Episode 5
Ha Kyung and Shi Woo would have been happy and content but their exes keep getting in the way.
And then they met in a motel; Shi Woo was just coming out of the place while Ha Kyung was checking in a drunk Eom Dong Han for the night. This accidental meeting created a misunderstanding between them.
Episode 6
Ha Kyung asked Shi Woo to break up because she had had enough of men letting her down. Anyway, he confessed that he was meeting his father at the motel.
His father was a gambler and when Shi Woo refused to give him any more money, his father who spotted Shi Woo talking to Ha Kyung went to find Ha Kyung at KMA to ask her for money because he gleaned that she was going out with Shi Woo and being a director, she must be remunerated handsomely. So he asked her for 10Million won.
Ha Kyung’ sister and been calling her to tell her that their mother was unwell. But Ha Kyung got used to her mother pretending to be sick to get her own well but this time her mother was taken to the hospital.
As a civil servant, she put her job before personal life so she told her subordinates that she will go to the hospital in the morning. But they assured her that they will look after the weather and if it got bad they will call her.
She went to her mother and looked after her together with her sister.
Shi Woo meanwhile went to see his father to give him his whole savings of 10Million won. His father said that he was right going to Director Jin, she was able to make Shi Woo into giving him money.
Shi Woo was totally at how brazen his father was when he ascertained that he went to Ha Kyung to ask for money.
He begged his father to leave him alone from now on.
Shi Woo went to wait at the car park for Ha Kyung.
Ha Kyung saw his hound dog look so she invited him for dinner in her apartment. He was so apologetic about his father but then she told him that her father was no better.
She found him hanging when she came back from school she was still very young. Because his business was going bankrupt he decided to kill himself.
Ha Kyung told Shi Woo that she would like them to live together.
On the other hand, Ki Joon and Yoo Jin were having problems with their relationship. Ki Joon had asked Yoo Jin to register their marriage so they could get a loan and buy their own house but Yoo Jin said that she would like to postpone registering their marriage until further notice.
Episode 7
Shi Woo turned down Ha Kyung’s proposal of living together. He said that he had done it before and it ended terribly for him. He wanted them to get to know each other slowly but surely.
Meanwhile, Ki Joon was devastated when he found out that Yoo Jin was living with someone else prior to their engagement ceremony. He realised he made a mistake letting Ha Kyung go.
The ending was comical. Ki Joon got confused when he drunkenly visited Ha Kyung in the apartment which would have been their marital home when he saw Shi Woo, Shin Seok Ho and Eom Dong Han were also there.
Episode 8
Ki Joon became suspicious of Ha Kyung already dating someone so he followed her and saw her on a date with Shi Woo.
Shocking.
Episode 9
Ki Joon was so shocked he told Yoo Jin immediately who said that Oppa can be unpredictable which only shocked the already shocked Kijoon. He can’t believe that Yoo Jin was calling Shi Woo ‘Oppa’
Meanwhile, Ha Kyung and Shi Woo were not having a good time.
Shi Woo asked what would Ha Kyung like to do during their weekend free from work? A movie, a drive, going for a workout, grocery shopping?!!!
Ha Kyung who was rather distracted said yes to everything rather half-heartedly. She was still thinking about the proposal cake which was mistakenly delivered to their table. Shi Woo looked so shocked in rather a bad way which shocked Ha Kyung in a very disappointed way.
So now Shi Woo was upset that she was lucklustre in everything that he was suggesting that they should do.
As they talked more, Ha Kyung realised that Shi Woo thinks that marriage is the graveyard of love. He said that marriage is suffocating.
Ki Joon continues to obsess and even forget that he and Yoo Jin were supposed to go dinner with his mother as it was her birthday.
Ki Joon spent time with Shi Woo looking at the weather. He found that Shi Woo is actually a good guy so he asked Yoo Jin why she broke up with a good guy?
Yoo Jin said that it was because he never wanted marriage.
Ha Kyung also asked Yoo Jin why she broke up with Shi Woo?
As Yoo Jin said to Ki Joon, she told Ha Kyung that Shi Woo doesn’t want to ever get married. He is phobic of marriage.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyang Rae saw her husband, Eom Dong Han, looking all contented with Ha Kyung and they were going to the apartment building.
Episode 10
Ha Kyung was now certain that Shi Woo has no intention of getting married. This got so stressful for her because her mother is determined to see her married and forcing her to go on blind dates.
Her mother was aghast to find that she was living with men though she was told that it was only temporary because of their work where the weather is so mercurial and they had to work closely almost night and day.
Anyway, her mother still insisted that she gets married so she screamed to her mother that she will never going to get married, ever.
This crashed her mother.
Shi Woo walked Ha Kyung’s mother out and told her that Ha Kyung was just overwrought and does not mean what she said. The mother said that she knew her daughter, she really made a decision to be single all her life.
Ha Kyung was told by the chief to send someone to Jeju Island to monitor the weather. She looked at her crew and sadly Shi Woo is the most suitable to go.
So she told him that he had to go to Jeju Island.
Meanwhile, Yoojin left Ki joon to think things over.
Episode 11
This episode is too self-indulgent. It is about me, me, me thing. Think of the weather, people;
Anyway, Shi Woo went to Jeju Island where he met Yoojin who brought him to the hospital when he was blown up by an explosive that affected his eyes.
Ha Kyung felt guilty about it because she had been keeping a secret for the longest time. She did not understand his gripe at first but having spoken to Ki-joon, it made her realised that what ShiWon was telling her was also an exact copy of what Ki-joon told her of what he made him feel when they were still together. He was always a poor second every time to her work.
Meanwhile Bo Mi, Dong Han’s daughter came for a second field trip to KWA where she met her very happy and excited father. He treated her at the KWA restaurant where she was overwhelmed by how popular and hardworking her father was.
She ate fried breaded har which did not go well with her. She ended up being taken to the hospital where her mother and father met. Her mother blamed Dong Han for forgetting that their daughter was allergic to processed food.
Anyway, his wife was about to serve him with divorce papers.
Oh Mung Joo was getting fed up with shouldering everything in their house while her husband takes a year off to study to pass the civil exam. So she rebelled and went to the team dinner as a bon voyage to Shi Woo who was going to Jeju Island. Instead of going home to take over from her mother-in-law to look after the children, she told the mother-in-law to ask her son to childmind for once.
Before, Shi Woo went to Jeju, Ha Kyung’s mother secretly met Shi Woo to ask if there is a chance that Ha Kyung and the man in 1302, Shin Seok Oh could get together.
Shi Woo was very adamant that it would never happen.
The mother was rather surprised that Shi Woo was very resolute about it. She started looking at him in a different way.
Episode 12
Ha Kyung brought Shi Woo’s father to see him at the hospital at Jeju Island. It was not only traumatic but utterly embarrassing for Shi Woo to see his money-grabbing father who was going berserk asking for compensation for Ha Kyung’s accident with the blowing weather balloon.
Shi Woo was annoyed that Ha Kyung brought his father with her.
Feeling unworthy, he tried to break up with Ha Kyung.
Episode 13
Ha Kyung broke up with him instead. Unfortunately, their relationship had reached the head office.
And also Ha Kyung’s mother who had an inkling that there is something going on between her daughter and Shi Woo, searched Ha Kyung’s house from inch to inch and found a couple of intimate selfies of the two.
Poor Myung Joo found out that while she was slogging to earn money and look after the children, her husband who was supposed to be studying was going out with his friends enjoying themselves.
Her husband said that he was stressed with studying which made Myung Joo see red. She told him that he had three choices, go back to work, get a divorce or study as if his life depends on it
Dong Han was advised by Ha Kyung to do everything to change his wife mind about getting a divorce. He went to beg his wife to give him at least three months that he could be a better husband and if within the three months she had not changed her mind then she can divorce him.
Shin Seok Ho and Tae Kyung had started dating.
Kijoon and Yoo Jin had reconciled though they were still awkward with one another. It looks like Yoo Jin is pregnant.
Episode 14
Kijoon was dumbfounded when Yoojin told him that she was 12 weeks pregnant. Kijoon called Ha Kyung immediately to tell her the news.
Ha Kyung listened to him and then told him that she thinks that he was actually glad that Yoojin was having a baby.
Having sorted his head, he went home and prepared a surprise for Yoojin.
Yoojin met up with Shi Woo. She told him that she was pregnant but rather upset by the lukewarm reaction from Kijoon.
Shi Woo observed that it looks like Yoojin really loves Kijoon.
When she went home she was surprised by balloons and flowers and laid out dinner table by Kijoon.
Kijoon hugged her to apologise for his reaction at lunchtime when she told him that she was pregnant.
Yoojin told him that she was not ready to have a baby and had made an appointment for termination.
Speaking of termination, ShiWoo prevented Ha Kyung from announcing that they have already broken up. Kijoon had told him that it would be bad and sad to see Ha Kyung being pitied by co-workers.
Meanwhile, Seok Ho and Tae Kyung were totally into each other. They always end up in bed.
Episode 15
Shi Woo’s father was in trouble with the police for getting cars to run over him and then he would ask for money.
The police came for him at the hospital but he was diagnosed with stomach cancer.
The sound of the fetus’ heartbeats overwhelmed Kijoon so much, he told Yoojin that they should keep the baby.
Dong Han missed his daughter’s birthday once again and in his guilt, he asked his wife for a divorce.
Seok Ho and Tae Kyung were caught in the act by Tae Kyung’s mother
Myung Joo seeing that her husband seemed suited to be a househusband told him that if he did not pass the exam, it would okay with her and told him that he looks good in apron.
Episode 16
It was a happy ending. I feel that his drama somehow lost its way. It was actually the analogy to the weather that made it rather boring. Too much weather and too little love.
Seok Ho begged Tae Kyung to return to him as he misses her terribly. He said that his heart was. broken, she was the only woman he had ever been with.
Dong Han’s wife went to see him at KMA and scolded him for begging to give him three months to prove himself to her and their daughter but only after a month he was asking for a divorce.
Dong Han said that he was no good as a father and a husband. They don’t want them anymore to suffer because of him.
His wife said that their daughter was not suffering, she enjoyed the posh dinner he booked for her birthday.
They made up and their daughter was happy.
However, it looks like Shi Woo was finally convinced to make an honest woman of Ha Kyung as the end of the drama was the couple running away from a restaurant where Ha Kyung’s mother and Shi Woo’s father were awkwardly waiting for them.
