MSOAN E8: Live “Transcap”

12/8 Updated

—

omg i need a whole new word for daebak cuz it doesnt cover just how perfect this episode was – man wait till you guys read what they said – omg I am so out of breath – and it isnt from typing – so much emotion – so intense- I love this episode!!!!!!

—

i am typing as fast as my brain and hands will allow but there are so many great scenes and that kiss is like stuck in my head and it’s distracting me – wish I could just sit there and press replay a few more times. If YAI ever has a kiss scene like this – I can totally die happy 🙂

—

this is why I love MSOAN – it is easy to translate and it makes it so much more fun to share right away-you guys need to watch that kiss – it’s like all the ones we never got from MGIAG or any other recent dramas – is there a BTS of that kiss – dying to get my hands on it

if JW and R ever kiss like that on SG anytime soon – then we have ourselves two winning couples for this year- seriously – my other bloggers who love JGS is going to faint when they see this scene.

The comments for this episode are hilarious – you guys really enjoyed tonight’s broadcast huh?

———

Sometimes when I read what other bloggers write about a certain impression the episode had on them, I kind of wonder what that would be like. Before their recaps or after it, they muse and share their thoughts about the show. I made an attempt to way back when, but now it’s hard to find the time or energy. My posts average between 7,000 to 8,000 words. I know I have it in me to write something profound and moving about a certain scene or reaction to what happened, but I have no more brain cells to spare after translating. That’s why I insert some comments – just a line or two after a certain scene cuz some of those are worth highlighting. As far as I know, I am the first blogger who gets to do that before anyone else since I do it live. That is one of the many reasons why I am glad I started doing these transcaps. Take that heartbreak scene last week for example. When I saw that on my TV screen and had to type the words, I could not type fast enough because I wanted to press update so bad to show you guys how great that moment was. There are lots of moments like that for me for both shows. There is something about sharing a scene like that – it makes this whole transcap thing so personal. It’s like I am letting you in on a great big secret before anyone else finds out. I hope tonight’s broadcast gives me lots more to share, but something tells me this show won’t let us down any time soon.

How sad is it that when I was typing the episode number, I forgot which one was tonight. I could have sworn both shows were at different numbers, but for tonight they match up. It made me realize that we are at the halfway mark for MSOAN. Already I feel a little sad. Did you guys know that Mary’s coping method of counting to ten and then thinking happy thoughts was one of my favorite parts about the first episode? She doesn’t do it anymore and I miss it. JW on SG has his own coping method, but at least he is still using his “kimsooroo” chant still. I think it is so interesting that two different drama leads share that one quirky habit. That vulnerable side of them was what made me invested in their characters so early on. Now it’s time to discover just how far they are willing to venture outside their comfort zones for the one they love.

MSOAN E8 Live Transcription

After Mary reveals the truth,

D asks if the marriage was a lie and

when they said they loved each other was a lie too?

JS notices J was there too

S walks out and J follows her

J offers to take her home but she wants to be alone

—

D, JS, and Mary come out

D asks if J already knew about it

J said I know you are surprised and that he would explain

but JS slaps J and calls him a bad name

and walks off to the car

D and Mary get in too and they drive off leaving J there

D and JS plan what to do

since the contract is over there is no reason to wait

D wants to get her married off right away but since Mary went thru so much shock

they decide to give her a little time and not jump straight to marriage

since Mary is sorry she is going to accept what has to happen

the housekeeper comes and gives a schedule for mary to take lessons to be a good wife

like cooking lessons etc – what most women do to prepare for marriage

MG is working on his music

he has caught a cold and his place is a mess

he walks over to the fridge to get water and sees all the kimchi in there

he remembers feeding her some of the kimchi

where his mom calls them newlyweds

he starts to clean up

he finds the crumpled love is a car accident letter

and throws it away after looking at it

he also picks up the mittens and throws that away too

then he looks at the contract with J and crumples it up

J is at the recording studio

manager bang comes in and

rubs in the fact that MG quit when they are so busy

J defends MG saying that he had a good personal reason and that MG isnt irresponsible

she also mentions a scandal about S

something about S’s personal life I think

since S doesnt go around with assistants and managers

there is no one to block the news or help her thru it

manager offers to help but J declines

—

S is working out on the treadmill – omg that’s my old gym

she goes over to the side and sits down and ties her shoelaces

J drops by and puts an ipod next to her and sits down

then he hands her a bottle of water

she says it’s ok cuz this is not the first time there has been a scandal

J makes suggestions about how to block some of it

but she said it wouldnt work

she asks about MG and his work

J smiles

At the bridal salon

mary starts typing out a text to MG

she says she is sorry that because of her

he had to quit working at the company

she says she ruined things for him

and everything was a mess

then she deletes what she typed in and starts over

“are you doing fine? for everything you did up to now,

I was so grateful

and I am so sorry to you. Tomorrow I am going to…”

she is picking out her engagement dress with friends

=since it turned out this well, it’s for the better

you better make up your mind to be [?]

this kind of opportunity doesnt come around often

you really hit the jackpot

=it’s not like you are doing this unwillingly with someone you hate

you said the director was a good person after you got to know him

=but did you talk to him yet about you having that fake marriage with MG?

Mary: since it was uncomfortable and the director was busy with work so we

each didnt have a chance to talk about it

= that’s better – just get pass it

= you promised your father that you and MG wouldnt contact each other ever huh?

Mary: I’m too sorry so I cant contact him.

also, Mg must have been very angry

=you guys are totally over

=Mary are you ok?

Mary: I dont know. I cant think of anything. a typhoon is going by

but it’s calm it feels like I am inside the typhoon

J shows up to try on his suit

her friends take pics

her friends think J is mad about the fake marriage cuz he looks so serious

one friend tells mary that she is the wrongdoer for having a fake marriage

for 51 days and that Mary needs to do well (to make up for it)

the other one defends mary and says Mary is not a wrongdoer

[my favorite song is playing and it seems so tragic cuz the only ppl who are happy are her friends]

After the wedding shop, mary,J , D and JS have dinner together

the next day is mary’s bday and it’s also her engagement

JS says since there wasnt much time, this would be an intimate event with

family and close friends

d is excited to be a father in law

D asks J if he will tell everyone at the office after the engagement about mary

D says it would have been great if her mom had been alive to share this

mary says she is going to see her mom

d wants to go with her with JS

but J offers to take her

—

J has a nightmare

he fell asleep in his clothes

he wakes up and sees the socks mary gave him

and remembers how she said to wear it to sleep so he wouldnt have nightmares

he puts it up to his cheek and smiles and puts them on

then he lies back down fully dressed with those socks on and sleeps

next morning mary looks at her wedding pics with MG and his concert photo

and smiles then looks sad

she gets a call from J

J picks her up – they are driving

he says she looks like she didnt sleep well

she asks if he didnt and he says he had a good dream

she asks where they are going

He says when he woke up, he wanted to come here with her

he brought her to an arboretum

he takes her hand and they walk like that

she says sorry – that she didnt want to do it – a marriage that didnt make sense

he says he understands cuz he felt the same way

he said during that time (after she told the truth )he had a lot to

think about and he was angry too

she says she understands why he is angry

she wouldve been too

he says he isnt mad cuz of her but himself

he gives her that piggyback pic

flashback scar scene

on the day of her mom’s wake

mary is smiling and eating a lolipop

she walks up the stairs

J is crying on the phone with his mom, he says he wants to live in korea with her

complaing about how he hates japan, that kids hit him and torment him

and that his dad tells him to put up with it and scolds him

Mary comes up and doesnt know what is going on and is happy

so J asks how she can be happy when her mom died

little mary says “my mom is in heaven”

he explains that that means she is dead

“dont you know what death is? it’s the end-you can never see her again”

mary drops her candy and cries

he piggybacks her down the stairs, slips, and falls

she gets that cut on her head

he piggybacks her outside to a swingset and puts a band aid on her forehead

she calls out for her mom

he teaches her that Japanese phrase about “i’ll be here to protect you forever”

he piggybacks her again

d and JS see them coming while J is piggybacking her

D says since they were playing together and got hurt that

J and Mary should be bride and groom

JS decides to take that pic

end flashback

Mary asks if he remembers everything now

he says not all of it, but from here on, he thinks he will have more good dreams than nightmares

she says “thank goodness”

J apologizes for the scar he gave her on the forehead

she says it’s ok

he said it must have hurt a lot

she says: the past does not torment me anymore

** what kind of warped parent makes light of an injury and wants them to get married instead of driving her to a plastic surgeon so she wont scar? I seriously do not get her dad’s logic.

J gives her an engagement present

He takes her to a room and she goes inside and asks what it is

he replies it’s an arboretum (using what she calls bookstores)

The room has been turned into a private library full of books she likes

with a place to sit and read

mary has a flashback

to when she asked what kind of music he wants to make and MG tells her he wants to make music that doesnt lie

Mary:honest music? music that gives honest emotion

who are you really? you’re poor but you live so freely doing whatever you want

with no worries

she asks if he has a secret life as [something] chaebol

he laughs and asks if she is writing a novel

he tells her to stop talking about strange things and go read

J gets a call that S wont be doing the drama so J has to leave

Mary says she is going to see her mom

he tells her he will be back to take her

she said she will read books till he comes back

before he leaves he kisses her scar and wishes her a happy bday

—

she gets a text

her firend says this is your last bday as a single woman

MG texts and says “Meet me”

mg is singing my precious at the park

mary watches him

he gets mobbed by students in uniform who call him “teacher”

mary laughs

MG; you came

she says its been a while

she said he looks good – that he looks peaceful

he says it’s cause his life went back to normal

he asks how she is

she says it’s peaceful

* what in the holy cow does “pyung-ah-wool” mean?

—

band drives up

they say they should have back dancers and change the mood

and to come up with a strong concept and curly hair guy puts cuffs on MG

Mg says this is not his style

they greet mary

she asks why MG why he asked to meet her

he wanted to pay her back

she asks where he got the money

the band member says MG is a teacher at some kind of

hakwon (institute)and is already so popular

Mg tells the guy that it is restricting so take the cuffs off

that guy takes the cuff off and puts it on mary

mary: what are you doing?

=we have stuff that we are sorry for to the two of you

mary says that wont work cuz she has something imp to do today

–

that was the most adorable flash scene in kdrama history !!!!

J goes to S’s place

He asks why she wants to quit the drama

S reminds him when she agreed to do it that she

has a habit of changing her mind suddenly

and that she doesnt feel like doing it anymore

J says he needs her tho

she says she wants to rest

he asks if it is about MG

she snaps at him

she tells him to leave

he doesnt

Hair scene:

Mary: Why? They all won’t answer their phones?

MG: Yes, they are determined. What time was your engagement?

Mary: In the evening at 7

MG: It’s not 12 yet – there is a lot of time left

Mary: I also have a place I need to go with the director –he’s going to call soon

MG: Oh this is so annoying (he tousles his hair) and I have to wash my hair too

Mary: Ya – why are you washing your hair now?

MG: I was up last night producing and came straight from [something ]the bus

Ya – look how [?].  Does it smell

Mary starts to back up saying “yaya– ya – yaya – ya!” as he comes closer for her to sniff (LOL)

In the bathroom, Mary is washing his hair

He tells her to be careful and not get any foam in his ears

Mary: Why is it that every time I meet you, something wrong happens

MG: Ya it’s the same for me too. When I don’t meet you –everything is normal

Mary: That’s why – we shouldn’t have ever met up again

She scrubs harder in frustration and he yells out in pain and he tells her to stop

He asks her to go outside and get the conditioner and she yells at him to just shampoo it and he tells her to hurry. Forgetting they were handcuffed, when she tries to go out, he ends up getting dragged too

{I love moments like this – so cute and they are totally believable as a real couple – so comfortable around each other – best chemistry seriously]

S is in the bathroom and J knocks and says he is going in

she is crying in the shower -dressed

he takes her out and puts a blanket around her

they talk on the bed

he says something about how a rumor doesnt become the truth

S; what did I do that was so wrong?

J: you didnt do anything wrong

S mumbles something how ppl are treating her like she did something horribly wrong and J says”those people just want to believe what they want to believe so be honest and upfront and tell everyone since the reason why you kept everything hidden was to protect your family”

[the guy is freaking getting engaged later that day and he goes into a bathroom where a woman could have been showering??? this guy seriously lost points with me tonight.

I also could not stand how S was such a drama queen – she is like beyond annoying tonight]

MG is eating

she tells him to hurry

she wants to go out and find a locksmith

he says it wont work

she says she cant wait till 5

J calls and asks where she is

J says he wont be able to go with her

J says he is with S

mary tells him she will go alone

he says he is sorry again

Mary tells MG to text his ex to comfort her and live like he has loyalty

MG takes his phone out and starts to text

MG asks if she is ok that J is with her

she asks if Mg is done eating and says “let’s go”

he says “go where”

he wants to go home and sleep and wait for his mom who is coming

mary says to come with her first cuz she has to go somewhere

—

MG’s headphone scene

Mary has partially taken off her sweater coat so the dress is visible

She places flowers at her mom’s memorial stone [no clue what to call it so I went with that]

Mary: Mom it’s been a long time

MG leans in and stares at the photos on the wall and says:

Wahh – you look exactly like your mom. [she is way better looking than you.] She is really beautiful.

Mary: I have to talk with my mom – (points) – headphone

[He mumbles something I couldn’t make out  as he puts it on]

Mary: Mom – today I get engaged. That’s why to show you mom, I wore this dress and came.

I was going to come with the guy I’m engaged to ….

Laughs and points at MG : mom-that’s not him-don’t misunderstand.

Mary starts to cry: Anyway mom, I wanted to be like you and dad and fall in love at first sight, love someone so much to kneel in front of a grandfather who forbids, or want to run away and get married, but somehow it ended up that I got engaged like this.

Even thought he isn’t someone I love, he is really a good person. Also dad really likes him.

Since it turned out this way, mom, I’ll try to live well.

Mary completely breaks down and says:

On a day like today, if the person I loved and you were next to my side, it would’ve been so great.

MG heard all this, but pretends he didnt and puts her coat around her

“I was worried you might be cold..I can’t hear you so continue.”

Mary keeps crying really hard and looks over at MG and MG keeps looking over at her concerned

—

Major bonding thru their backgrounds on the bus

she said when she was young, the days she thought it would

be nice to have a mom was on rainy days

cuz other kids went hm holding onto their moms hands

but mary had to wait alone for her dad in the classroom

her dad said it hurt his heart too much to think of her getting rained

on and going home so he made her wait for him to pick her up

she had to wait till he got off work and somedays she had to

wait alone till late at night

he says “why did you wait? you should have just gotten rained on and run home”

MG talks about his past with his mom

since she had to work, he stayed with relatives a lot

Mary asks: until when did you live with your mom?

they hardly lived with each other

if he lived at one place, after he got kicked out they would stay together

in the meantime until he went to live somewhere else

so they hardly ever lived together

and he didnt have many memories with her except one

since she is a woman she took MG to women’s saunas

mary says since it was my dad, he took me to men’s saunas

MG says “isnt that so embarrassing?”

and she agrees and they bond over that

he went till he was 8 wearing a towel and ppl thought he was a girl

he gets a call from his mom

still in a good mood, he is smiling when he answers:

“I was just talking about you. what time are you coming later?

what did you want to say?”

—

Mary’s headphone scene

This time it is mary’s turn to listen to music to give him privacy while his mom and MG talk

his mom is going to paris with her boyfriend 

she got tired of having to meet and part so often for over a year

if they leave korea and go overseas, there is only the two of them

so she likes the idea that they will just look at each other and live

MG wants to know if that means she is going there and getting married

“no – like you said, I’m not getting married. since I shouldnt cause him pain

(not sure if she said receive pain or give pain cuz i cant hear the pronoun}

she thinks for his sake, it is better to be separate from MG cuz his mom keeps

depending on him and making things difficult for him

he gets up and yells at his mom “what could you do that is so difficult !”

Mary pops up out of her chair in surprise too

She reassures him that she cant hear and that it’s ok

He pulls her back down to sit as he sits too

his mom calls her to get her attention

she asks mary to take care of MG cuz mary has loyalty

his mom tells mary that after she settles things with her cafe,

she is going to leave after a month to somewhere far away

MG says: stop it – why are you telling all that to an outsider

he leaves with mary

Mg leads Mary around to walk off his anger

she calls out to him to stop

MG calls his band and yells at them to uncuff them – he asked if they

were prepared for the audition and to go straight to the club

after he ends his call, he turns to Mary and says”let’s go”

but she hands him a lettuce bouquet like the one he gave her the first time they met

she says : “here – a present”

he remembers back to that scene when he gave her one

she tells him not to be sad

he cheers up a little and smiles and says “let’s go” and she says “accept it”

as he drags her away

D is getting his hair done and he tells JS we are becoming a family in 2 hrs

he says how he and JS grew up lonely

they want lots of grandchildren

D is a widower and JS is divorced

D asks why JS treats J so harshly

omg J is playing the guitar for S

she talks about having to alienate herself from her family to become an actress

grandfather who was a government official 

father who is a professor

brother who is a lawyer

sister who is a doctor

the only way she could get any acknowledgement from her family was to get married

he stops cuz of the pain

S: what’s wrong? does it hurt somewhere?

He says it’s ok and she insists on seeing it and takes his hand

there are two long cut scars

S: why is your hand like this? what is this – did you try to commit suicide?

J: yes

when I was living in Japan, this guitar was my [comforting] friend, but my father told me to quit. music brings emotions to the surface so it makes a person weak (he said)

I couldnt go against my father’s [order] so i quit, but when I looked at the guitar that I couldnt play, it really tormented me. so [eventually]i did something i shouldnt have

So you are really impressive. you went against your parents objections and chose to do what you wanted to do. I couldnt do that.

[*during the broadcast I didnt pay close attention cuz S used a different tense for the word “suicide” in korean. I know that word but she used a shorten version so I didnt recognize it till now-sorry for leaving out a crucial part]

MG and Mary and the band are up on stage 

the manager auditioning them points out the girlfriend should wait separately off stage

and asks why she needs to be up there

one member tells the truth and says sorry and that he lost the key to the cuffs

but the leader says that’s not it, that Mary is part of their concept as a backdancer

and that she is really good 

MG tells her: when the music starts, dance naturally

Mary dumbstruck: what are you talking about? I can’t dance

Mg to the band : let’s start

Mary panics and says: ya

MG tries to pull her forward to start dancing but Mary goes right back and hides behind him again. the whole time she looks like she is mustering up the courage to actually do it.

Mg tries once again to pull her forward, but yet again she is not quite there yet. The third time did the trick cuz not she knows there is no getting out of it and starts to nod her head to the beat and then she slowly goes for it and what ensues is a scene I could watch over and over again and never stop smiling.

one by one the band members notice and they all suppress their smiles but the manager doesnt and just laughs.

by now Mary is in full swing, waving that lettuce bouqet around and throwing her body into it while mouthing the lyrics right along with MG who notices and smirks as he sings.

[too bad that song was “my bus” cuz if it was something else, maybe Mary would’ve had a fighting chance. I have to add, when I first heard this song, I didnt love it but tolerated it cuz JGS is singing it. Now with this image in my head, I’m sold.]

after the performance they look for the key

she calls J and says she is at hongdae and will explain when he comes

J takes S to drop her off at hongdae (at MG’s place)

he tells her he is going to his engagement

she asks: so you’re going now to pick up your fiance?

he says yes

she feels bad for taking up his whole day

he says it’s ok since it was important

she says she is envious of whoever his fiance is and curious (who she is)

J doesnt tell her who tho

he says he would introduce her after the engagement

—-

admitting scene

At MG’s place, they are sitting on the couch and MG is trying to get the handcuffs off

Mary: Only an hour is left..the director is coming to pick me up….so hurry up

MG: Ya – I’m trying hard…you really want to get engaged that much…

Mary: You think I want to do it? It’s cuz I promised is why..

MG throws down the screwdriver …it won’t work….

Mary sighs – because of you….I ….

MG: What did I do? What? That I’m unfortunate (unlucky)?

Mary: What is that – when did I say such a thing?

MG: You said when you meet me things get complicated

Mary: It’s the same when you meet me too so that must mean I am unfortunate too

MG smiles

Mary: don’t think like that – you’re a fortunate kid

MG surprised says: What?

Mary says: blessed with goof looks and musical talent…that much means you are really fortunate

MG laughs it off and says “what is that” and sits up and starts to play with his fingers awkwardly and asks: have you ever liked me?

Mary: What? What are you saying all of a sudden?

MG: We’ve already ended everything ..you’re getting engaged…so that’s why I am saying this..during the middle for a second…I had feelings towards you

Mary: You said you didn’t see me as a girl

MG: Instead of saying I saw you as a girl…ah…I don’t know…(leans back on the couch)

Mary: When did you do that?

MG: At first when you went to the country house with that guy…after I met my mom…when I was eating ice cream alone…do you remember?

Mary nodding hear head : uhmm- I remember..

MG: At that time – for a moment cuz I was feeling [melancholy]I waited for you. the next day you came with that guy. Right away I went back to normal

MG gets a call

“you found it?” he whispers to her “found the key”

she doesnt seem happy hearing that

MG into the phone “we’ll go there right now-hyung (brother) where are you now?

Building up to the kiss scene

MG and Mary walk down the street and MG looks miffed and Mary keeps looking down at the cuffs and looks a little sad

MG: Let’s hurry up –we’re late. Saying you had to marry someone you love later – made a big fuss and asked me to marry you in a fake marriage. In the end, you’re doing an arranged marriage -wee mary.

Mary: Stop it (she stops walking)

MG: Why are you about to cry?

Mary: When was I about to cry?

Looking kind of angry, MG asks: you – do you love that guy?

Mary: I don’t know yet/I’m not sure yet. How could I know what love is?

That’s true-a girl who hasn’t even dated yet, how could you know about love

Mary: You don’t know what love is either

MG: What?

Mary: Not being able to meet a girl for over a month – is that something to brag about?

MG: So

Mary: Don’t act like you know everything. That’s a disease

MG feeling insulted: What? Disease?

Mary: That’s right – a disease. In other words fear of commitment

MG: What makes you think you know me?

Mary: Why wouldn’t I know. I met you as a fake wife for over 51 days. You have to hurry up and fix that disease or else you really won’t be able to love

MG: Who do you think you are to tell me to love or not

MG yells: You’re marrying a guy you don’t love so what are you bragging about!

Mary: (not sure if she said “dae-tha” to mean “Never mind” or “forget it” or “whatever”}

some more students come calling him teacher

they see the cuffs and ask who mary is

they ask if he got a girlfriend

mary says: kids that’s not it

they want to know what kind of relationship they have

he tells them to calm down

but they say calm down about what

MG suddenly tells mary to run

D and JS are waiting both J and mary are still missing

d calls J and he said he wont be late

S gets out of the car-this is MGplace

she needs to borrow J;s phone tho cuz her battery ran out

she calls MG and then sees mary’s number and the engagement photo

S looks at J like she is pissed

J asks if she is done using his phone

—

The most Daebak Kiss scene in recent kdrama history

They hide between two buildings. Both are leaning against a wall out of breath from running and they laugh cuz they made it.

As those students run by, MG suddenly hugs Mary to hide her and hold her so her face is buried in his embrace.

He lets go, looks at her, and goes in for a kiss, but she turns her head

Mary: Playboy

MG: What?

MAR: You’re not affected at all

At that time, I thought my heart would burst

MG: So.. you ..at that time

Mary: (crying) It was suppose to be with someone I loved…you ruined it…(she starts to hit him) …you jerk

MG says softly “Mary….

Mary: (you said) you didn’t see me as a girl

MG: (you said) you didn’t see me as a guy

Mary: (you) told me not to like you….

MG: you too…(you) said you didn’t like me…

He suddenly kisses her

a sparkly heart forms and pops out from the cuffs

–

best ending EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

preview

S asks J : your fiance was Mary?

Mary and MG went to the beach to watch the sunrise

mary leans on MG holding onto his arms

It’s really like a dream – how we ended up like this

J to MG: I have to say it’s over and then this contract will end

—

JGS never kissed like this on YAB – omg – I am so starting with the kiss scene first

then all their other great scenes – when he said he liked her

when she got mad at him on the street before the fans came

oh man forget sleeping tonight – too much to do
