An Ill-Fated Match In Heaven
In the latest episode of Green Mothers’ Club, we return to Jin-Ha’s house. Luis doesn’t kiss Eun-Pyo though. Instead, he asks her not to reveal to Jin-Ha that he’s writing a book. Agreeing, Eun-Pyo slips out and heads home.
The women of the office gather for coffee and snacks each morning before their tests. Su-In is likely to work with Henry again, and Chun-Hui has her sights set on teaming up with Eun-Pyo. Dong-Seok is guarded over who he will choose as his partner for the upcoming tests. ..
Jin-Ha, a young artist from South Korea, is looking for help with an exhibition she’s exhibiting in the United States. She asks if Eun-Pyo can write an introduction for her show, as she knows he’s a good writer.
Eun-Pyo deliberates over this, and finds numerous messages from the different women asking Dong-Seok to team up. Oh how the tables have turned! When Chun-Hui thinks about messaging Dong-Seok to ask as well, she thinks twice and picks up Young-Bin after school. While driving, she receives a call from Man-Su, which completely rattles her. In fact, she messages back and tells him to delete her number immediately.
In the episode, Chun-Hui makes a mistake and meets with an unknown person. Man-Su is worried about her and admits he’s worried about her safety. It’s possible that something happened between them that stemmed from the pharmacy mix-up. We’ll see what happens.
Jin-Ha continues to throw herself into Eun-Pyo’s life, showing up at her door while her mother is there. They head out for food with her, reluctantly, where Jin-Ha brags about all her achievements. Jin-Ha even hugs Eun-Pyo’s mother when saying goodbye. However, she listens from afar as Eun-Pyo and her mother talk. Her mother doesn’t even remember Jin-Ha, but in actual fact, the pair had quite a close bond in the past, which certainly saddens Jin-Ha when she hears. ..
Eun-Pyo is at the exhibition, where she meets the Professor, who she dropped to her knees asking for a second chance from. Anyway, they have close familial ties and just to add insult to injury, Jin-Ha requests the Professor to take good care of Eun-Pyo from now on.
Eun-Pyo is conflicted about leaving her friend Jin-Ha. She’s worried that she might be doing something wrong by leaving, but she can’t help but feel torn up about it. Jin-Ha seems angry and mean, but Eun-Pyo can’t help but feel like she’s in trouble.
Jin-Ha drops off her kids the next day and apologizes. For Eun-Pyo though, this seals the deal that Jin-Ha just does not like her. In the past, she behaved like this too, dating someone called Tae-Hun right after Eun-Pyo admitted she liked him and also joined the same exhibitions she did to screw her over. When she mentions Luis, Eun-Pyo stops herself and simply ends the conversation, telling her she doesn’t want to get involved anymore. They’re not friends nor will they be going forward.
Jin-Ha, a 23-year-old woman, has been struggling with her mother’s death for many years. After learning that her mother died when she was younger, Jin-Ha seeks out a connection with Eun-Pyo’s mother. However, after taking pills and passing out in her room, Jin-Ha is admitted to the hospital. ..
Eun-Pyo is rushed to the hospital and leaves Jin-Ha to look after Henry. He’s beside himself with grief and can’t stop crying. Henry wants his toy, Tory, and so the guys all head over to his house.
Eun-Pyo asks Luis why he went back to Jin-Ha in the past. “Was there something about me that wasn’t good enough?” she asks. ..
Jin-Ha comes home and declares that she’s going to jump off the building. Eun-Pyo takes the kids and leaves. Jin-Ha and Luis end up having a big argument. She’s hysterical, smashing a glass across the floor and even screaming down the corridor. Poor Henry cowers in his room, listening to all of this. Poor kid.
Jin-Ha tells Luis that she’s never been happy living with him and she hasn’t been happy a single day. Eventually Jin-Ha leaves, needing some air and breathing heavily on the balcony.
Jin-Ha rings and immediately curses Eun-Pyo, accusing her of sleeping with Luis. Unfortunately, Eun-Pyo is distracted and in doing so, misses her son falling over and breaking his leg.
Eun-Pyo rushes little Dong-Ju to the hospital, but with her useless partner nowhere to be found, she rings Chun-Hui for help instead. While they sit together in the waiting room, Eun-Pyo blames herself, believing herself not to be a good mother. Chun-hui though holds the top of her hands reassuringly.
The next day, Jin-Ha meets with Eun-pyo and tells her she’s going away. Before she does though, she questions Eun-Pyo and asks whether she wants her to disappear. Thinking about it, Eun-Pyo is taken aback by Jin-Ha nonchalantly standing up and heading off into the road, stepping in front of a white truck… or does she? It turns out all of this was a bad dream. ..
Eun-Pyo is shocked when she sees Jin-Ha lying motionless in the rain. She rushes over to him and finds that he has been killed.
The Episode Review
I was browsing the internet when I came across a comment from a person who watched Green Mothers’ Club. The person said that they had no idea what the show was trying to be and that they didn’t like it. ..
This episode feels out of place and unlike anything we’ve seen up to this point. I don’t think it will be able to compete if it goes the way of Penthouse or Sky Castle.
The main issue with this movie is that it barely spends any time with its characters. We only get a few minutes of screen time with Dong-Seok’s brother and barely any time with the kids. This leaves us feeling very disconnected from the story.
The drama involving Man-Su and Chun-Hui is intriguing, as is the duffel bag malarkey. Then you have Jin-Ha and what happened to her in the past too. These are enough to stick by and watch develop with interest, but we’ll have to wait and see exactly where this one is likely to go next. Either way, roll on tomorrow’s episode!
