My Fair Lady: Episode 15
by javabeans
I know, at this point it’s probably more “appropriate” to post a pic of our main couple… but eh, whatever. This one is very cute.
Episode 15 makes me sorry for all of us who were holding out hope for an exciting ending, because this episode was rather boring. Things that should have been heart-tugging lost their pull because they’d already been done before in previous episodes, and I think we’ve had enough of the endless repetition. Although, if you want to play a drinking game, you could probably get pretty far along by taking a shot every time this episode employed a pointless cliche.

EPISODE 15 RECAP
It’s the morning after, and Dong-chan and Hae-na wake up in bed together, a bit shy but happy. They enjoy their morning, and head out for their first day out as an official couple.
Dong-chan asks whether Hae-na is nervous about telling her grandfather that they’re dating, and asks what she would do if her grandfather kicked her out again. Teasingly, she answers that he’ll have to take her in, then.
Hae-na notices that Dong-chan is back to calling her “agasshi” and speaking formally, and prods him to talk to her casually. Just last night he’d called her “Hae-na,” and she likes that. However, he laughingly sticks to the formalities, answering that he’s still her jibsa.
When they arrive at Hae-na’s mansion, they are advised that the chairman is in no mood to see them. The couple are determined to face him honestly, and insist that they will see him.
Grandpa Kang receives them with a grim face and directs his questions to Dong-chan, who asks Grandpa for his consent to date Hae-na. He knows that he isn’t in much of a position to make this request, but he won’t give her up, and Hae-na echoes his plea.
Given how upset Grandpa looks, one expects a flat-out denial, which is why it’s such a surprise to get his agreement. Grandpa isn’t happy about this and says that he’s consenting out of concern for the company’s image, not for them, but in any case the two are relieved at this relatively undramatic scene. They expected much worse.
Mr. Jang expresses his surprise, but Grandpa tells him later, “Who says I consented?” He points out that opposing the match right away would have forced Hae-na to run away again, so he’s playing along temporarily. He needs Dong-chan for now, but after the next directors’ meeting, he will cut him out.
The rest of the world, however, is fed a romantic tale of the heiress falling for her bodyguard, which is how the story is spun to the media. This is Grandpa Kang’s way of neutralizing the scandal, and Chul-gu is shocked to hear that Grandpa has acquiesced to the couple.
Likewise, Su-ah can’t believe this turn of events, but Hae-na arrives at work the next morning arm in arm with Dong-chan, openly admitting their relationship.
Tae-yoon arrives at the office to speak with Hae-na and apologize for his previous behavior. When everyone turned their backs on her, he wanted to stay by her, and felt guilty that he wasn’t in the position to do so. He admits that his feelings weren’t purely driven by his feelings for her, but also because he disliked the idea of losing her. But now he recognizes that he has to let go.
Hae-na knows that he wasn’t making things hard on her purposely, and apologizes since she was the first to chase him. He asks if they can be friends, to which Hae-na extends a hand, saying she’d be happy to have a friend like him.
Likewise, Eui-joo also decides to let go of Dong-chan. (Remember how I said the writer has the bad habit of making all the characters experience the exact same scenario at the same time? Here’s another case.)
While Tae-yoon’s departure was acted with a degree of gravity, as befitting the relationship they’d (supposedly) shared, Eui-joo’s “I’m letting go” scene is played pretty lightly. This would normally bother me in a drama that made sense, but here, it’s actually funny how the music is so dramatic and she pouts as if to say, “Eh, whatever.” I kinda love Moon Chae-won for this.
That night, Dong-chan finds Woo-sung snooping in the darkened library, which strikes him as suspicious. Woo-sung lies that he’s cleaning, and makes his getaway from Dong-chan’s sharp eyes.
He calls someone to report that he couldn’t find “it”; it turns out that he is reporting to Chul-gu, and the item in question is the chairman’s will.
While at work, Hae-na receives a message on the website from a user, which asks if she can repost and forward Hae-na’s statement. This puzzles her, as she’s not sure how to answer. As usual, it’s Dong-chan who steps in to advise her, saying that it’s wise to say yes. Every little gesture of sincerity will reflect well on her.
The message is passed along and spreads along the internet, prompting an immediate increase in sales. This is a stupid point and makes no sense and I am annoyed at how carelessly the plot is being advanced. On the plus side, it gives us the image of Wang Seok-hyun adorably cheering on his noona, so there is that.
Grandpa Kang calls Dong-chan to give him his true opinion, which is that he is only allowed to stay with Hae-na until he names the Kang San Group successor: “You didn’t think I’d accept you, did you?”
Dong-chan is surprised at the change of heart, and dismayed: “I know I can’t say this, but I truly love Hae-na.” Grandpa warns him not to tell Hae-na of this conversation: “Since you say you love her, you should know what is best for her.”
Accordingly, Dong-chan keeps the conversation a secret from Hae-na as they head out on an outdoor date. This means playing games, blowing bubbles, and bike riding.
When Hae-na gets on her bike for a short ride, she finds that her handbrakes are unresponsive, and yells out in a panic. It’s understandable that she would be startled, but it’s ridiculous that this drama plays this scene so straight, like a big moment in a shocking thriller. She is going SO SLOWLY that the bike is about to topple over from lack of speed, and yet the tone is one of dire emergency. Oh! No! Danger!
Hae-na comes home limping from her crash, after which Dong-chan inspects her bicycle to find that her brake line has been disconnected.
Immediately he has a suspect in mind, and confronts Woo-sung, who denies his involvement weakly. Dong-chan is unconvinced by his nervous answers and presses him for information about who he’s working for and why.
He finds Uncle Chul-gu at the office next day, conferring with his associate at a urinal. (Er…?) Chul-gu had arranged for Hae-na to be kept busy enough to miss the directors’ meeting, where she is scheduled to report on her web mall project. (Again, this is a head-scratcher if we’re playing the logic game, because the implication is that he doesn’t want to hurt Hae-na; he just wants her out of his hair. But how does cutting her brakes the day before the meeting keep her sufficiently busy, unless he’s intending serious injury?)
Dong-chan confronts Chul-gu about his plan, saying he knows everything. To prove it, he warns, “Don’t get too curious about the chairman’s will.” Since Hae-na is fine, Dong-chan will let this go, but makes it clear he won’t put up with any further sabotage. If Chul-gu doesn’t comply, he’ll go straight to Grandpa Kang and spill everything.
Therefore, Hae-na’s meeting goes well, as she reports that she successfully met the 15% sales increase. Chul-gu, thinking of Dong-chan’s threat, applauds her efforts nervously.
Dong-chan understands that Woo-sung wasn’t working with Chul-gu willingly, and assures him that Chul-gu will no longer bother him. He is so sympathetic that Woo-sung wonders why he hasn’t asked why he did it. Dong-chan answers, “Everyone can make a big mistake once in their life. Like me. I don’t know why you did that, but I’m sure you had a reason that you can’t explain. Isn’t the important thing that you don’t make the same mistake again?”
Even though Dong-chan hadn’t been angling for an explanation, this wins his confidence and Woo-sung confides that Chul-gu had found out he wasn’t from the background he claimed, and blackmailed him. But, he says with tears in his eyes, “I really didn’t have bad intentions against agasshi.” Dong-chan believes him, and now he’s won Woo-sung’s loyalty forever.
This was a surprisingly nice scene, because Woo-sung (actor Kim Young-kwang) played his part with a nice, subtle sensitivity. After having small parts in Triple and The World They Live In, I think we can expect more things from him. In fact, I found his acting jarring in this scene because it was so much stronger than the stuff in the rest of the episode, where it feels like the main cast has half given up.
Tae-yoon deals with the fizzling of his relationship by calling Eui-joo to talk. She finds him lost in thought at the park, and shoots a few hoops with him before sitting down for a talk.
Tae-yoon admits that although he gave up on Hae-na and thought he would be okay, he feels strange: “I feel like talking to someone about it, but there’s nobody to talk to. I asked to see you because I felt like you’d be a good listener. Is that too selfish of me?” Eui-joo doesn’t mind, and says it’s fine.
He wonders if she’s given up on her love, too. Eui-joo says that she has given up hope that he’ll reciprocate, but liking Dong-chan has become a long-standing habit, so it’ll take a while to get over it. But she doesn’t regret it — she liked liking Dong-chan, “And even if I fall in love with someone later, I’ll be the first to fall in love then, too.”
He’s impressed at her plucky answer and calls her “pretty cool.” (She retorts, “You’re just figuring that out now?”)
Dong-chan and Hae-na go on another date, which seems superfluous since it’s the third date montage this episode. The one difference is, today Hae-na offers to do whatever Dong-chan wants to do. Dong-chan’s wish is that she act as his personal attendant for the day — this means she has to call him “Master” and speak in honorific language. He enjoys himself by being difficult and making her run around doing his bidding, and gets her to confess that she understands now what she put him through.
As they walk down the street, something catches Hae-na’s eye — a wedding dress in a shop window. Naturally this means they must stop and let her try on bridal gowns. (Personal aside: As someone who did not grow up planning a hypothetical fairy-tale wedding and who has no great desire to don a fancy white gown, I find this cliche really annoying. Not all women need the Overpriced Princess Bridal Dress to validate their love lives!)
Dong-chan is struck dumb at the sight of Hae-na looking beautiful in a wedding gown, and gapes. Then he whips out his cell phone to record her (as he’s been doing all day) and prods her to say something.
Hae-na is bashful at first, then tells him, “I love you.” As his playful attitude turns solemn, she continues hesitantly, “When some time has passed and Grandfather gives his blessing, would you propose then?”
He takes a moment to respond, making her nervous. But she smiles happily as he agrees, “Yes. Later, when your grandfather gives his blessing, please marry me.”
On their way home, she complains that he didn’t say “I love you.” He’s genuinely surprised (he’d thought he said it), and defends himself, saying he already confessed his feelings to her so she should know.
The next day, Hae-na suggests spending time with her grandfather. As they take a leisurely walk, Hae-na turns to him to say something important: “I want to marry Seo Dong-chan.” Immediately, Grandpa is affronted and says no — he can’t accept Dong-chan as a family member. In fact, he intends to fire him tomorrow.
Hae-na protests that she doesn’t want to lose him: “I really love him.” This only gets Grandpa more worked up, and he threatens to cut ties with her if she continues to date Dong-chan. Incredulously, he asks if she would abandon her family, position, and everything to still choose Dong-chan.
Hae-na is conflicted, but looks at him sadly as she answers, “If that’s the only way to stay with him, I’m sorry Grandfather.”
Grandpa storms off, and collapses clutching his heart. (Come on, we all knew that was coming, right?)
At the hospital, Hae-na learns that he had been ill for a while; he explains that there was no point needlessly worrying her by telling her he was sick. As Grandpa lies weakly in bed, he asks whether she can throw away 50 years of work, all over a man. Hae-na promises to protect Kang San, so couldn’t she keep Dong-chan too?
Grandpa Kang knows we’ve got one more episode left, so he answers no. She needs to find someone who can look after both her and the company, and Dong-chan isn’t capable of that.
Dong-chan rushes to the hospital, and in yet another useless cliche, he misses Hae-na just as she steps out. (He reconnects with her just a few minutes later.)
After learning that Hae-na has had a huge shock, he rushes out to find her, running into her at the hospital entrance. They head up to the rooftop for another talk, where she reminisces about his comment the first time he brought her here, how he’d come to the roof to watch the sunrise with his ailing mother.
She wonders, “Is this how you felt?” He must have wanted to save her, finding it impossible to leave the one he loved.
Dong-chan senses her mood with foreboding as Hae-na says, with difficulty, “You said love changes, and to tell you when I saw myself change. I’m going to change. No, I have changed. So… so… ”
But she can’t continue, and is overcome with emotion. Dong-chan understands what she means to say, and tells her gently that she doesn’t have to say it: “Last time you let me go, so this time should I let you go first? Let’s break up. I’m really sorry that I wasn’t able to keep my promise to keep you from crying. But I will make this promise: I won’t forget you.”
She grabs his hand and cries, “I’m sorry,” then forces herself to let go.
As she walks away, he calls out to her, “Hae-na. I love you.”
(This calls back to the fact that he hadn’t called her by her name all episode, and the fact that he hadn’t confessed his love in words.)
COMMENTS
I think I should have more to say about this episode, but I just don’t. It was okay. It was completely paint-by-numbers, expected, and unsurprising, but I suppose it was serviceable. I think we all expected the couple to break up (yet another time!) and for Grandpa to oppose the match, and for guilt at his health to drive Hae-na to break up. (I mean, we’ve all seen My Girl and Witch Amusement, right?) Given the reliance on conventional trendy-drama cliches, I wish this drama got more inventive with them and at least tried to turn the cliches on their heads… but I think that’s probably expecting too much.
One more episode to go! I will be relieved for the actors’ sakes when My Fair Lady wraps, because it’s saddening to watch Yoon Eun-hye sobbing her heart out and not feeling the least twinge of sympathy for her character because the story is so contrived.

^@ casualobserver you spoke what I have been dreading to say all along. I also feel that MCW has been overlypraised for what, i really dont know...no offense.
It is not as if her acting stands out in this drama, so when I see post praising her as if she rendered some sort of academy winning performance, I try to be polite by not rolling my eyes. I think her performance is by far the most overrated in this drama.

The only thing that would convince me to watch this drama is Moon Chae Won. She is beyond adorable/pretty/hot and I love her voice. So yeah, she's the only way I'd watch this. Plus, it sounds like she plays a funny and quirky character here.
Ugh.
So happy I didn't start watching this.

I first watched only one part of episode 1-1 and dropped the drama. I've never seen any dumb and ugly lead guy like that butler. On top of that, he look so old, he's 35 or 36 years old.
I do not watch a lot of Kdrama but I just hate the dumb bimbo Sung Yuri in Swallow the sun and this low class old ugly butler in My fair lady. The drama offers nothing but mediocre, unrealistic and stupid contents and I do not waste time on that kind of crap!
But love SMILE, YOU with Lee Min Jung( Lee Min Ho's arrange marriage's fiance in BOYS BEFORE FLOWERS). She is a good actress who is so natural, so charming and funny. The two leads are fantastic together, great chemistry and so funny whenever they are together. It's entertaining and cracking you up every time they interact with each other.

gave up watching this drama halfway through :( i was actually so looking forward to it when it was announced (yeah because of YEH and JIW). however, i'm kinda disappointed with the storyline as the story deepens. the beginning was still ok but nearing ep 9 or so, it just...... so lame and i started to dread.
just my personal thoughts :)
and although i stopped watching but i still scan through ur episode reviews. it's less painful than sitting down to watch the 1hr episode.
thanks for the reviews. great job!

You guys should not read this recaps if this drama is not your cup of tea. Give constructive feedback instead of bashing the ugly and old butler! Give the scripwriter/actor/actress chance to improve their script/acting by giving constructive feedback, afterall not everybody are born scriptwriter/actor/actress.
Lady castle may not be the best drama, similarity and predictabilty are there, and perhaps weak script too. But I feel the actors & actresses have done their best to deliver this drama. Lastly, please don't take this drama sooo seriously, it's just an entertainment. If you feel entertained with Lady castle, then it's good, otherwise you can always watch other drama. Anyway it has ended, move on!
Thanks dramabeans for the recaps so far, I'm looking forward for your last recap on lady castle.

@52 - nice to know that when one is in his or her mid-thirties, they are one foot in the grave and should be writing their will and chilling in a retirement home.
MFL is a huge disappointment for me - I really was looking forward to it but it ended up being so very bad. It's probably the biggest disappointment of the year for me - I had my problems with BOF but at least the first half was very entertaining. MFL was just bad from the start.

@58 You're right, some people think that mid-thirties or forties automatically make you an elder (with wrinkles and without teeth..lol). Sometimes make me tired to read comments like this one... I'm over thirty and not dying yet, I feel and look better than in my twenties. If a thirtie years old guy or girl is an "elder", then a fifty year old guy (...like delicious and ubber hot Brad Pitt...) is what.., a mummy??
...OK Age rant over...I'm dying for MFL....but dying of boredom...if only I wasn't a faithful fan of YEH (sigh)..I'm enduring this sacrifice for her...and praying for a good next proyect. One more episode to go! Hope for a happy one, hope for a non cliche one, hope for a not so painful to watch ending..only hope :(

@59 thirty: I completely agree with both you and #58. I'm not even twenty yet and I can't understand some of the ageism laced comments against actors like Yoon Sang Hyun. He's a talented, good-looking actor and one of the main reasons I've trudged through this drama.
And yeah, MFL was a big disappointment, but the 4 leads are all really good. It's the damn script and characterization that's lacking...here's to hoping for much better future acting projects from the leads.

@ 56 I have to disagree with that. If you call scowling all throughout the whole series better acting, then you have to set your standards higher. Also if you wanna get down to it and compare both of their resume's and acting record, that alone proves MCW still has a long way to go before she can reach Yoon Eun Hye's professional track record and achievements.
I usually hate dangling stuff like that in people's faces, but MCW fans (not necessarily you) have been nothing but dirty throughout the run of MFL, to the point where they even invaded dcmfl to bash the other actors while praising MCW, which made them most unliked and unwelcome fanbase in dcmfl. I actually started to feel bad for MCW cause dcmfl posters started bashing her cause of her illmannered fans calling her "jobless b i tch" and "always the second lead" for a reason.

whoa whoa whoa. if anything, i think crying is what yoon eun hye is best at when it comes to her acting skills. no matter how much of a cliche this drama s, i can't help but cry with her when she starts sobbing. other than that, this episode wasn't as good as i would of hoped, but i loved the beginning and the wedding dress part.

@60 - Yeah, I kept watching much longer than I normally would (through ep 10) because of my love for the cast. But nobody could rescue a script this incoherent - it just made me annoyed to see their ability wasted. I think I will be staying away from this screenwriter's works in the future - he or she has no idea what they are doing. (Compare MFL to Brilliant Legacy - another story of a spoiled rich person who falls in love, reforms etc - BL was written so well - everything in it made logical sense).

THIS IS a dull episode, sad to say.... but then (excuse my comparison..) CP's ending wasnt great either.. the difference is, the whole episodes (except the last) of CP are interesting and exciting, while MFLs eps are hot and cold.... *sigh*
Seems like everything is happening fast with loose threads all over ...
But!..., hehe, I still watched every episode! ^-^
the cast are great!
am a YEH fan! In fairness, like MCW too...she has this quirky attitude that i like... ^-^

The ageism and shallowness in some of our not so regular posters is quite disturbing and to use poster #52's lingo "dumb and ugly". I'm in my early 30s but I'm ancient according to the poster. Perhaps I should just sit on an iceberg and float away.

Ah hemm... I guess i shouldn't be surprised the episode was exactly as i have predicted (even down to the way they resolved the 15% increase to the online mall; Glossed over good PR out of the PURE LOVE scandal (How Cheeezzee it is cheweee) for Haena's image. And surely enough, my drinking game got even more fun and drunk and now even a mention by the grand dame JB herself :P
I must admit while the last few episodes got me riled up. Something weird happened to me while watching this episode - I have had an epiphany. I realized while this junk may be have 2% nutrients, it really showcase the xfactor and charisma of the stars.
The fact they have some how risen above this drivel (YEH especially, JIW lesser extent) Still showing total commitment to their charactersand what little left of the motives and silly plot is actually rather commendable. The most enjoyable and interesting part of the episodes is actually the adlibbing by the actors. They look like they are having fun and so we smile with them rather than laughing at them.

WOW... so, usually, no matter how bad a show or episode is, reading the recap is fun and entertaining for me. But I literally cringed at every paragraph of the recap this morning. So much corny shenanigans packed into one hour! I'm afraid the universe is now going to implode. This is one of the few shows where I read the recap before watching the episode because I don't care enough about it to care about spoiling it. But now... I'm dreading watching the episode; I don't know how I'm going to get through it without hurling something at my computer screen. Seriously, this episode sounds so horrible that I read this post early this morning, just before l left for work, and I was mad for all 35 minutes of my drive in. Just angry for no reason!
On a brighter note... the line "Grandpa Kang knows we’ve got one more episode left, so he answers no" made it all worth it. BRILLIANT!!!

No matter how bad this drama review is or how bad the actors acting are just like some of you been pointed out in this thread, the fact is many people still watching this drama especially for the final episode last night, and the rating proved it.
The rating for MFL final epi :
AGB
National - 18.3 #2 // Seoul - 19.6 #1
TNS
National - 19.0 # 2 // Seoul - 19.4 #1
It's quite high for Wed-Thu slot. Despite of all criticism, once again YEH proved us that she is still queen of rating.
Enough said :)

@62: hmm...didn't know there was that much behind the scenes between MCW and YEH fans, but then again I never used to pay attention to fanatic behavior.
I don't think JB's particularly favoring one actress over another in her recaps, just that MCW has protrayed a refreshing EJ, and often serves as comic relief - that's actually witty. Comedy also has it's cliches and EJ seems to have some unique displays and so she's gotten some audience's attention. As for the 1 comment about happy, go lucky characters being easy to protray...lols...I think that's too much of a generalization, it really depends on the character devo and script.
Ep 15 is "eh" - but it doesn't bother me the ep is flat. Like the actors, I really just want the show to be behind me, and move on to better things.

When the actors are over 30 ,WHY do the writers give them dating drivel as if they are 16 yrs old? beach, ice cream, endless piggyback. If that's the script, hire really young actors or let the adults BE adults. it gets uncomfortable. And I really liked the cast, but there was not ONE fresh idea in the 15 eps...... just every Kdrama cliche there is. so sad. This and Style...so much potential and such a mess.

Wow. Just seeing the caps, this drama is like a rehash of cutesy/lovey dovey scenes from YEH's previous dramas. How lame. What possessed her to choose such a cliche ridden drama....it's a huge letdown after a 2 year wait for a new YEH drama. I've lost some respect for YEH for choosing this 'vanity' project and playing it safe by the numbers, given her status and recognition in the industry. Surely YEH had many more offers than many other actresses, and she picked Lady Castle?! Sheesh....It's better do something edgy that no one understands when you can stretch your acting skills rather than notch up more mediocrity in the land of Cheesy Romance Kdramas.

i like MFL soooo much better. But The world they lived in is also not a CRAP..just not spectacular either...as the ratings they got...

but, who knows the game that YSH played when they had their date??

>>Grandpa Kang knows we’ve got one more episode left, so he answers no. >>
Hahahaha.
Gotta say this drama is a big dissapointment. I think all of the actors were fantastic, and it had the possiblity of something pretty fun... so sad.
