Marriage Not Dating Episode 9: One Night in a Faraway Place

Jang-mi narrates: “The six of us will spend the night in a faraway place. When the day is over, all six of us will have kissed someone. Through that kiss, some will confirm their love, and some will be hurt.”

She ends her foreshadowing voiceover by saying that it’s a common occurrence on a summer vacation, aka Han Yeo-reum’s vacation.

Jang Mi’s mom goes up to Gi Tae and asks him what’s wrong with Jang Mi. She notices Se Ah and asks who she is but before Se Ah can introduce herself, Gi Tae’s mom explains that Se Ah was once Gi Tae’s fiancée. Mom continues to say that she even chose a wedding dress for Se Ah, but sadly, it was never worn. Jang Mi’s mom is shocked and confirms all of this with a reluctant Gi Tae. Gi Tae’s mom does what she does best and twists this moment to say that she just wanted to be honest with Jang Mi’s mom and for her to understand Gi Tae’s flaws. It’s real bad when even Se Ah looks uncomfortable.

Jang Mi and Yeo Reum drive along a scenic ocean route and the wind blows Jang Mi’s wedding veil away. 

Once they arrive at the beach, Jang Mi laughs at how absurd she must look. Yeo Reum asks what was so hard. Jang Mi says that it was a variety of things but mostly it was watching her self-assertive mom bow down to the in-laws and get looked down upon without even realizing it. Yeo Reum chastises her and says that she has once again, become to involved in this fake marriage. Jang Mi agrees and suggests that they go back now since they have to return the expensive dress back to the store.

They sit on the beach, and Jang-mi confesses that she doesn’t really know what happened—just that she didn’t like seeing her mother in that position, trying so hard to please someone else and not even realizing that she’s being belittled in the process.

Yeo-reum chides her for getting wrapped up with real emotions in the fake marriage all over again, and Jang-mi agrees with a smile. She gets up and says they should go back and return the expensive dress, and Yeo-reum assures her that Ki-tae has lots of money and he’ll pay for it.

 

Ki-tae calls out on cue: “It’s MY money!” Jang-mi gapes, and then Hoon-dong and Se-ah show up beside him. She realizes that he must’ve traced her phone again and starts racing toward the ocean, determined to be rid of her godforsaken traceable smartphone.As she runs, she falls and all 3 guys run to her side and try to flip her back over.

Jang-mi sits out on the beach grumpily, still in her flower pants. Se-ah swears she’s on their side and only wants one tiny gift from Ki-tae, who’s holding out on her. Jang-mi tries to find some common ground with Se-ah, and says she must’ve had a hard time prepping a wedding with Ki-tae, and understands why it fell through.

 

But Se-ah just counters that she didn’t have a hard time at all, and Jang-mi points out that she doesn’t really seem to know how to make friends. Among other things. Ki-tae plops down on the other chair beside Jang-mi and takes off his shirt, and Jang-mi stares back and forth from Ki-tae to Se-ah, wondering what the hell she’s doing stuck in between them.

She tells Ki-tae to stop being cheap and just give Se-ah the present she wants, and he just clears his throat uncomfortably. Things take a swing back in Jang-mi’s direction when Yeo-reum joins them and takes his shirt off… and well, there really is no need to explain the reaction it induces, is there?

Ki-tae looks over at Jang-mi going googly-eyed and stares down at his chest self-consciously, and suddenly reaches for his shirt complaining that it’s cold. Hee. Se-ah doesn’t miss a beat and asks Ki-tae to help her with her tanning oil, and Jang-mi watches with a hairy eyeball as Ki-tae rubs oil on Se-ah’s back right in front her.

 

Jang-mi kicks up her half-exposed leg (from her ajumma pants being hiked up, no less) and demands that Yeo-reum put oil on her too. 

Yeo-reum suggests they go elsewhere for some private time, and Ki-tae gets all pouty-faced, shouting after them and going ignored. Thankfully Hoon-dong shows up to be a mood-killer and forces everyone to play together where he can keep an eye on them.

Se Ah asks Gi Tae to put on some body oil for her and HE OBLIGES! Say what?!?! Gi Tae’s trying to make Jang Mi jealous and it looks like it’s working. Jang Mi asks Yeo Reum to put some on for her as well but Yeo Reum tells her that it looks like Gi Tae and Se Ah are trying to set the mood so they should leave them alone.

Jang Mi happily agrees but they get stopped by Hoon Dong, who asks if Yeo Reum is trying to steal Jang Mi away again. Se Ah just tells them to go play so Yeo Reum picks up Jang Mi and throws her into the water.

Eventually the other three join them and the 5 have a fun water fight.

Hyun Hee leaves a pharmacy with low spirits. Oh no, she’s pregnant isn’t she? She calls Jang Mi and wants to meet up for a chat but Jang Mi’s a bit far away. Hyun Hee gives her the guilt trip so Jang Mi tells her to come to the beach.

Back at the Gong residence, aunt finds out that Gi Tae and Jang Mi are at the beach. Grandma wonders what happened so that there are talks of canceling the wedding. Mom says that Jang Mi’s mom was upset about Gi Tae once having a fiancée and she tells dad that it must be a good thing for him. Dad seems surprised and Grandma doesn’t understand how that would be good for Gi Tae’s dad.

Mom explains that dad wanted Gi Tae to be with Se Ah since he wanted her dad’s connections and dad tries to say that he didn’t exactly say those words. Mom tsk tsks them since as parents, they shouldn’t be calculating the costs and benefits of their child’s marriage. Dad readily agrees since the happiness of those directly involved is most important which earns him a glare from mom. Mom says that now it’s too late anyways since Jang Mi was the one to put an end to this wedding by running into someone else’s car with her wedding dress still on. Aunt enters the room and shows everyone the picture of Gi Tae and Jang Mi at the beach. Dad and grandma are ecstatic but mom’s disappointed.

Back at the beach, Gi Tae continues to take pictures of him with Jang Mi, who’s busy curling her eyelashes. Jang Mi is exasperated and asks when he’ll stop this lie while Gi Tae just looks at the pictures. When Hoon Dong asks about what lie they’re talking about, both Jang Mi and Gi Tae just shout back that he doesn’t need to know. Poor guy.

Jang Mi’s mom sits in her chicken restaurant, downing away her sorrows with soju. Dad thinks mom is sad about Gi Tae’s ex-fiancée and the fact that she’s from a rich family while their Jang Mi might seem inferior. Mom doesn’t answer so dad takes out his phone and tells her to text it to him instead. Mom’s just says that she’s worried that she might have come off too harsh so dad says that mom still can’t give up that doctor son-in-law of hers. He tells her to look at the cellphone but when she refuses, he shows her the picture of Gi Tae and Jang Mi at the beach, which cheers her right up. That’s sweet.

Yeo Reum, Se Ah, Hoon Dong and Gi Tae sit down for some snacks and soju. Jang Mi asks if they can just go home but Hoon Dong asks if she wants them to drink and drive. Jang Mi suggests that they rent a place to stay at but Gi Tae says that it’s hard to find rooms during the busy season, which makes Jang Mi question if they are all going to sleep together then. Jang Mi asks if she’s the only one who finds this whole situation weird but Hoon Dong points out that it’s weirder that she’s marrying Gi Tae but ran off with Yeo Reum to the beach.

They get Jang Mi to join them and Se Ah suggests that they play the truth game. Hoon Dong spins the bottle and it lands on Gi Tae. Yeo Reum asks how far Gi Tae got with Se Ah when they were together. Gi Tae takes a look at Jang Mi and decides to down the shot of beer and soju instead of answering which earns him a few bits of fanboying from Hoon Dong, who calls him a beast. The next spin lands on Yeo Reum and Gi Tae asks how many women have cried because of him. Yeo Reum starts counting them with his fingers but looks at Jang Mi and decides to take the shot instead. It lands on Se Ah next who gets asked if she’s ever had anyone in her heart. She says that Gi Tae’s fingertips are still in her heart but she clarifies that her breasts are actually Gi Tae’s works. That’s just soooooo weird.

Hoon Dong gets selected next and he’s super excited, but sadly, no one has anything they want to ask him. Jang Mi spins it, hoping that it’ll land on her, but instead it lands on Gi Tae again. Yeo Reum asks the million-dollar question, “Hyung, do you really like Joo Jang Mi?” Everyone is all ears while waiting for Gi Tae’s response. He casually pops a cheese puff in his mouth and says, “yeah”. What a confession.

Jang Mi and Gi Tae stare at each other and Jang Mi asks, “What is this. Why is my heart pounding?” Because you’re in lurve. Jang Mi abruptly stands up and asks Gi Tae why he lied when this is the truth game. Gi Tae just makes this face at her so Jang Mi turns the bottle towards herself and reveals the truth about their relationship. That receives an applause from Yeo Reum who then moves to sit next to Jang Mi.

Hoon Dong is furious and he screams at Gi Tae but everybody ignores him. It gets worse when he realizes that he was the only one to not know about this whole arrangement so Jang Mi tells him to shut up. Poor guy. Hyun Hee shows up and says that she also didn’t know. Hyun Hee lays on the guilt, again, and seeing that they are on the same side, Hoon Dong invites her for a drink, which she surreptitiously puts down. She also can’t eat the raw fish.

Yeo Reum secretly nudges Jang Mi to meet him outside and on the pier, Jang Mi comments on how funny it is to have everyone present. You and me both. Yeo Reum suggests that from this point on, they should be alone together, which earns him a rather ambiguous expression from Jang Mi. She doesn’t get to respond since Gi Tae is running towards them.

Yeo Reum and Jang Mi hide behind a pillar. Se Ah followed Gi Tae and calls him out over his concern for Yeo Reum and Jang Mi even though no one is watching. Se Ah also says that it’s strange that Gi Tae has been doing things that he’s never done before. Gi Tae says that she’s the weird one for following along when she didn’t need to, but Se Ah says that he knows why she’s there.

Se Ah says that she’ll stop threatening him but in return she wants him to grant her a favor. Gi Tae can’t believe she’s being serious but she’s waaaaaay serious. She wants a child. Jang Mi now realizes that this was the gift Se Ah was talking about earlier and Yeo Reum has to cover her mouth so that she doesn’t blow their cover.

Gi Tae thinks he hears something so he tries to go and look for the source but Se Ah pulls him in for a kiss. Jang Mi spins around so she doesn’t have to witness the kiss and asks, “Why do I feel like this? Did my emotions get too invested in this damn fraud?” When she gets up to leave, she stumbles and falls, which causes Gi Tae to FINALLY break from the kiss.

Gi Tae rushes to Jang Mi’s side and it looks like Jang Mi got quite a deep cut. They need to stitch it up and Gi Tae knows a place they can go. Yeo Reum offers her his back but Gi Tae asks if Jang Mi can walk. She says yes but falls over when she tries to stand so piggyback it is. Se Ah smiles and asks if they are going there, and Gi Tae says yes.

The little clinic they go to is locked so they leave for the ER. Before they can go far, they run into a familiar face. Turns out 3 years ago, Gi Tae and Se Ah volunteered as doctors to help children with cleft lips and the person they run into is a grateful mother of one such child.

She opens the door of the clinic for them and Gi Tae stitches Jang Mi up with the help of Se Ah. Jang Mi watches their cooperation and she doesn’t look too happy. Of course it doesn’t help that the grateful mom stands on the side and says that Gi Tae and Se Ah are a match made in heaven and asks if they have kids yet. Gi Tae tries to correct her but Se Ah says that they are currently trying for a child, which earns her some eye rolls from Yeo Reum and Jang Mi. Giving up on correcting the grateful mom, Gi Tae just smiles and reminds her to bring her kid to his clinic for another surgery later to treat the scar on her lip.

Yeo Reum and Gi Tae go to the men’s room and they check out each other’s weeners. Yeo Reum tells Gi Tae that he thought Gi Tae was just egotistical but it looks like he can also be very giving as well.

Se Ah patches Jang Mi up and uses the time to try and persuade Jang Mi for her cause. Se Ah thinks that society’s standards are too restrictive but Jang Mi doesn’t really understand. Se Ah says that Jang Mi doesn’t have to understand since its Gi Tae’s understanding she wants. Jang Mi says that now that she thinks about it, Gi Tae and Se Ah are rather similar.

 

The boys return and Gi Tae asks what they were talking about. Se Ah lies and says that she was giving Jang Mi a plastic surgery consultation which starts a little bit of Se Ah and Gi Tae just throwing out a bunch of plastic surgery terms and poking Jang Mi’s nose. Jang Mi, “ I don’t understand anything but I feel insulted”. LOL At least Yeo Reum thinks that Jang Mi is pretty enough. Awww.

Se Ah suggests that Gi Tae go get the car since it’ll be tough on Yeo Reum to piggyback Jang Mi back. When Yeo Reum says that he’s fine, jealous Gi Tae runs off to get the car. When Gi Tae is out of earshot, Se Ah asks if Yeo Reum and Jang Mi want to be alone. Yeo Reum happily says “yes” but Jang Mi responds with a surpised, “what?”

Back at the little house on the beach, Hyun Hee lugs a drunk Hoon Dong into the room. She wants to talk with him seriously but he’s too drunk to listen.

When Gi Tae returns to the clinic, Se Ah is alone since the other two left for a hotel. Gi Tae tries to call Jang Mi but she doesn’t answer. Se Ah tells him to leave her alone since she’s with Yeo Reum but Gi Tae yells back, “It’s a problem because she’s with a guy like Han Yeo Reum”. Se Ah says he’s not the type to worry about other people’s business but Gi Tae makes the excuse that Jang Mi’s so clumsy so think of his concern like that of an older brother’s.

He uses his GPS locator and his eyes widen when he finds out that the two of them are at a hotel. He rushes there and opens every door. Don’t they lock the doors at this place? He tries calling Jang Mi again and hears her phone ringing inside one of the rooms but when he goes inside, only her phone is there. Se Ah steps inside after him and locks the door. 

When Ki-tae returns with the car, Se-ah is there alone. Jang-mi and Yeo-reum look around her expensive hotel suite, and Jang-mi freezes when Ki-tae calls. Se-ah tries to tell him that they want to be alone, and asks again why he’s so bent out of shape over Jang-mi.

He attempts to gloss over it like he’s just concerned because Jang-mi is so hapless and needs to be looked after, but all it takes is one glance at his tracking app (that shows she’s at a hotel) for him to flip out.

He goes tearing into the suite looking for her, but no one’s there. He hears her phone ringing from the bedroom and goes in, but all he finds is Jang-mi’s phone sitting on the bed. That’s when Se-ah comes in behind him and closes the door. Ki-tae’s jaw drops in shock and disbelief and asks if this was her plan all along.

What? Okay seriously, WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?

Jang-mi and Yeo-reum are out on a boat, and she wonders if they did the right thing. How can you even ask that? She sighs that Ki-tae seems like a different person when he’s with Se-ah, and wonders which is the real Gong Ki-tae.

Yeo-reum asks what’s real for her, and Jang-mi answers hesitantly, “You?” He leans in to kiss her.

Ki-tae asks why Se-ah is going to such lengths and argues that if she wants a baby, it could be with anyone—why him? She calls him dumb and asks if he really doesn’t know why it has to be him.

As Yeo-reum kisses Jang-mi, he reaches around her waist to draw her closer, but she actually jumps back at his touch. Ruh-roh. Well that’s telling.

 

She even surprises herself, and then quickly makes the excuse that she’s worried about leaving Hyun-hee alone with Hoon-dong. He lets her off the hook and they agree to go back.

Jang-mi sits there for a moment, reeling as it dawns on her that Ki-tae’s Truth Game confession and his kiss with Se-ah are getting to her.

Se-ah wraps her arms around Ki-tae’s neck and comes close for a kiss, but Jang-mi’s phone starts to ring with a call from Hyun-hee. She sighs as her calls go unanswered, and gingerly takes out the pregnancy test in her bag.

Back in the hotel room, Se-ah turns off Jang-mi’s phone and starts to unbutton her shirt. She gets two buttons down before Ki-tae finally puts his hand over hers to stop her. It took you long enough.

Se-ah trembles at the rejection and asks, “Is it because of Joo Jang-mi?” He doesn’t answer, but gives her arm a sympathetic squeeze before walking out. Once he’s gone, her hands shake as she tries to re-button her shirt, and she bursts into tears.

Jang-mi and Yeo-reum arrive back at the guesthouse but Hyun-hee is nowhere to be found. Jang-mi discovers the pregnancy test that Hyun-hee threw away in the bathroom, and realizes this is what she needed to talk about.

 

Ki-tae arrives outside and he and Yeo-reum exchange barbs about their lack of stamina, when Jang-mi runs out still holding the pregnancy test and worrying about Hyun-hee. Ki-tae notices the test and guesses right away that Hoon-dong screwed up royally, and remembers that Hyun-hee called Jang-mi’s phone.

She checks the messages and finds a text from her saying that she doesn’t know where she belongs—she has nowhere to go and feels like she’s in everyone’s way. She ends with “I’m sorry,” and “Don’t look for me…”

It sounds dire, and Jang-mi panics even more when she tries calling and they find Hyun-hee’s phone sitting there in the yard. Yeo-reum and Jang-mi go running out to see if they can find her.

Ki-tae checks Hyun-hee’s phone and is surprised to find it unlocked. A quick search of the last calls includes a nearby temple, and he smirks to realize she left the breadcrumbs there to be found.

He pulls up to Jang-mi and Yeo-reum like a know-it-all and says he used his brain while they were running around aimlessly, and he knows where Hyun-hee is. Getting there in the windy mountain roads turns out to be quite a challenge for the brainiac though, and he gets them lost and stuck in the mud.

Jang-mi and Yeo-reum get out to try pushing the car and only get splattered in mud in the process, and Ki-tae ends up calling a tow truck. He looks over at Yeo-reum jealously as he tends to Jang-mi and brushes the mud off of her, and then sends Yeo-reum back to the guesthouse to fetch Hoon-dong.

It’s a totally obvious ploy but he argues that Hyun-hee isn’t waiting for them, so Yeo-reum heads back down on foot, stopping to glance back nervously at Jang-mi and Ki-tae together.

Ki-tae tries repeatedly to sit next to Jang-mi, but every time he sidles up to her, she scootches away again. He tries to check on her wound but she’s still mad and blames him for all of this. He argues that she’s the one who left her phone behind, and mutters that she must’ve wanted to sleep with Yeo-reum badly.

Jang-mi scoffs bitterly and shouts that he’s right—she wanted to sleep with a man so badly that she left her friend all alone. She cries that if something happens to Hyun-hee, she’ll never forgive herself.

 

She sighs that Hyun-hee was right about her being so wrapped up in her wedding that she didn’t have time for her friend, and wonders what the hell she was doing when it wasn’t even a real wedding.

She says she got too wrapped up emotionally in things that weren’t real, at the expense of real life. She confesses that she’s all spun around now—she lost Hyun-hee because of him, and even when she was with Yeo-reum, she thought of him.

He listens to her intently, eyes fixed on her the whole time. She cries, “What are you? You’re fake, but because of you, I’m losing everything that’s real. This is all because of you!”

Once she turns to face him, he pulls her close for a kiss. Her eyes start to close, as she kisses him back.

And in the distance, Yeo-reum returns to find them lip-locked.

Jang-mi narrates in voiceover: “Have we come too far? If we go back, will it be like nothing happened? Can we go back?”
