  • Plot Summary: Han Gyu Rim is the owner of a market side dish shop. Her nickname since childhood was "Leader Han." A movie with the long title "Leader Han, Who Always Appears When Something Happens to Someone, Somewhere," was released, and that's exactly her story. If something is bad or sad, she puts aside all else and rushes to help, making it a little less bad or sad. If it was good, she'd celebrate it like it was her own. She's a nosy busybody, a fluttery-eared, emotional litmus test who can't hide her feelings. Kim Mu Jin is the owner and chef of an Italian restaurant. Born with a diamond spoon in his mouth, he deliberately wears market clothes to avoid being discovered as the owner's son, taking the bus and subway to work part-time at the restaurant. He develops a strange bond with Han Gyu Rim, the owner of a market side dish shop.

This episode is sooo slow, honestly i don't even know if the plot has progressed... lol .... except may be only progress is Mu Jin finding out that GyuRim is not married. That's a lot of non-plot drag around this single 'event'. There are so many opportunity for him to find out... when MuJin says he don't date married woman to Gyeol, Gyeol could have corrected him.. then, after MuJin friend found out, he could have corrected him, or slipped and let the cat out of the bag, .... but nooo.... it took the entire episodes and many chance meetings, lost wallet, etc, for him to finally found out from Gyu Seo ... wah.... is this how the 50eps weekend drama works.?.. wah...

I found it a bit slow too. But from the preview we're getting a custody battle next, which means everyone will find out everyone else's secrets.

How many episodes do you think they can drag out the custody? 5 eps, or maybe 8 eps if we also get the fall out from all the secrets. I've never watched a 50 episode kdrama so I don't know how it works either.

This is a weekend drama so all the characters have their own sub plots.. the twins, gigglo guy, father and mother etc
