Smile, Dong Hae Episode 122

Dong Hae receives a call from the network. He and Tae Hoon decides to go there to find out why people are cancelling their orders.

Do Jin hears about it from the director. He wonders about it but Sae Wa tells him not to worry of such trivial things. She reminds him that she won't let him lose. Camellia's sales suddenly goes up, getting Do Jin's attention.

Sool Nyeo and Sae Young are watching the TV. Sool Nyeo was glad that the sales are going up. Sae Young brags about Taebong Kimchi being able to sell everything. Sool Nyeo looks for the phone to order kimchi but Sae Young won't let her. She turns off the TV and takes the remote control with her, since her mom doesn't know how to use the TV without a remote control.

Joon asks Hye Sook if she met with Dong Baek but she denies it. Joon doesn't buy it and asks why she had the DNA test done. Hye Sook says it's to help Mrs. Jo on her ailment. Joon says he finds it strange since Sae Wa said it's for finding Dong Baek. He then declares that he won't push her for information any further but he's gonna find it out for himself.

Camellia manages to sell all their kimchi right in the nick of time. Sae Wa congratulates Do Jin but he still doesn't warm up to her. Sae Wa leaves the studio and runs into Dong Hae and Tae Hoon on her way out. She asks them if something's wrong, again with that creepy smile of hers. They deny it, and Sae Wa says they should go since they seem to be in a hurry. The two run off. Sae Wa receives a call from Hye Sook, scolding her for letting Joon see the samples. Sae Wa says she'll talk to Joon and then reports about Camellia selling all its kimchi. Hye Sook reminds her again to be careful.

Hye Sook goes to the chairman's office to tell him of the good news. Mr. Jo was really happy and decides to move forward with the succession plan. Now he wants to see Do Jin in his office right away.

Dong Hae and Tae Hoon talks to the network director and they find out that about 100 of the orders were cancelled. The director thinks that they were cancelling orders from Taebong Kimchi and orders from Camellia instead. The two thought this was weird so they ask for the list of people who ordered.

Tae Hoon and Dong Hae arrives at the kimchi factory to tell the Lee couple about the details of their problem. Sae Young arrives and also hears the news. Everyone talks about how weird it is that some people would cancel orders even before receiving it. Dong Hae remembers their earlier encounter with Sae Wa and they look at the list again.

Joon discusses with a guy from the network about the lecture he's supposed to give and that the network is looking for an announcer in the family reunion show. Joon says he'll look into it, the network guy leaves. Sae Wa enters Joon's office to talk about the DNA samples. Joon once again asks Sae Wa if the toothbrush belongs to Dong Baek but Sae Wa denies it, saying it belongs to Mrs. Jo. Joon suggests that he takes the samples and have it tested himself. Sae Wa says that she already took it to the center. Joon asks her where the center is but she doesn't answer. Joon tells her to leave, and when she did, he calls someone to ask for the numbers of all DNA test centers in Seoul.

Do Jin and Hye Sook, together with the chefs, go into Mr. Jo's room. He congratulates them and Bong Yi gets a bonus. The chefs leave while Do Jin and Hye Sook stays behind. Mr. Jo talks about how proud he is of Do Jin. Do Jin says that this is only just the beginning. That he and his mom will globalize Camellia Hotel.

Back at the Kim household, Mal Sun and the maid prepares a celebratory feast for Do Jin. She tastes the soup and reminds the maid that her husband has high blood pressure so the soup should be bland. Mal Sun sees a dish with peanuts and remembers Anna.

Pil Jae prepares to leave for work. He sees Anna tending to the Camellia plant he gave her. He wipes her hands with his handkerchief. Anna comments on how his hands are warm, which means he's a good person. Pil Jae was so happy he even did some Bruce Lee moves. He then leaves. Anna receives a call from Mrs. Jo. They talk about Anna's plant and how they both like camellias so they decided to go to the flower market the next day. People starts arriving at the Kim household so Mal Sun had to hang up.

Everyone except Joon was there for dinner. Pil Yong wonders why Sae Wa isn't anchoring the seven o'clock news. Sae Wa explains that she only subbed for a co-worker and then brags that she and Joon might anchor the nine o'clock news soon. Hye Sook tells her not to say things too early. Pil Yong reminds them of the succession plan but Mal Sun doesn't agree. She brushes off the topic to focus on dinner.

Joon is left in his office calling every DNA center in Seoul. Unfortunately, they have a policy on confidentiality so he didn't find anything out.

Sae Wa and Hye Sook go into the latter's room to talk about speeding up the succession plan since Mal Sun seems to have no plans on agreeing on the succession plan. Sae Wa receives a call from the testing center, saying that the results are ready.

As Joon was parking his car, he sees Sae Wa coming out of the house and driving off. He decides to follow her.

Tae Hoon and Dong Hae are still scrutinizing the list when Bong Yi arrives. Sun Ok tells her about the problem. Tae Hoon realizes that most of the orders came from the same number and address. They perceived that the orders were made under false information.

Sae Wa walks out of the center and goes straight to her car. She looks at the result and is a bit surprised by what she saw. Joon waits for Sae Wa to leave the DNA center before going in. He inquires about Sae Wa's business there but still got nothing because of the confidentiality policy.

Sae Wa hands the result over to Hye Sook, which only confirms their suspicion. Hye Sook orders Sae Wa to destroy this evidence.

Joon arrives home as Do Jin and the Jo couple goes out of the latter's room. Joon greets them and congratulates Do Jin. Pil Yong advises Do Jin not to let what happened to Taebong Kimchi happen to them. Joon asks about it and wonders why such a thing would happen. Do Jin says that if he's so worried then he should go ask them. And then he goes upstairs to their room. Hye Sook goes out of their room and serves Joon dinner. Joon again tries to persuade her to tell the Jo couple if she already found Dong Baek. If she won't, then he's gonna tell them. Hye Sook refuses, saying she's never gonna change her mind. And that she prefers not hearing of Dong Bark anymore.

Tae Hoon and Dong Hae finds the person responsible for the cancelled orders. Tae Hoon talks about what she did being against the law. The girl confesses that somebody paid her to do it. The two tells her that they wouldn't sue as long as she tells them who's the person behind this.

Joon talks to the director of the cooking competition, Mr. Shin, about the family reunion show, asking if it's okay to look for one himself. Mr. Shin asks about it and Joon says it's Mr. and Mrs. Jo's missing daughter. Mr. Shin remembers of that time when Sae Wa gave him a picture of Anna before she was adopted. Joon asks the director to bring it to him. He suddenly remembers that time when he bumped into Sae Wa and saw a picture of Dong Baek.

Mr. Shin asks Sae Wa for the picture and leaves after getting it. Sae Wa calls Mr. Jo to invite him to lunch. Her phone rings again but she decides not to answer it.

It turns out that Dong Hae was the one calling Sae Wa. He says that she's obviously avoiding him. Tae Hoon still cannot believe that Sae Wa would be able to do this to his family. They decide to settle this on their own.

Do Jin talks to Sun Woo and gives him the documents he asked for. After Do Jin leaves, Bong Yi arrives with the food Sun Woo ordered. He asks her to join him but she refuses, saying she already have a boyfriend. Sun Woo still won't give up so Bong Yi leaves. In front of the elevator, her phone rings and as she answers it, the door opens and Sae Wa goes out. Sae Wa bumps into the food tray so she lashed out at Bong Yi. It was Dong Hae on the other line, and when Bong Yi told him that she bumped into Sae Wa, Tae Hoon and Dong Hae decides to go to the hotel.

Mr. Shin enters Joon's office to give the picture. Joon was busy talking to the network guy from before so he asks Mr. Shin to leave the picture on his table. After the network guy leaves, Joon looks at the picture and wonders why Mr. Shin brought him a picture of Dong Baek. That's when an idea hit him. He runs after Mr. Shin to ask why he brought a picture of Dong Baek and not Anna Laker. Mr. Shin says that it was te picture Anna gave him, and that it was taken before she got adopted.

Of course Anna can't prove it so Sool Nyeo takes advantage of the situation and asks Sae Wa to leave with Hye Sook, which they did. Sae Wa tries to explain the situation to her mother-in-law and realizes that Hye Sook already knows that Anna is Dong Baek.

Meanwhile, Bong Yi, while going to work, rides the elevator with some guy who wouldn't stop looking at her. The guy then touches her shoulder so Bong Yi screamed, kicked the guy, and starts hitting him with her bag. But he was only trying to remove a strand of Bong Yi's hair on her shoulder so Bong Yi got really embarassed and apologized lots of times until she exited the elevator.  The guy then says something like "I thought it was her. Or maybe not."

Back at Sae Wa's house, Anna returns the clothes to Sool Nyeo in exchange for her old clothes. Sool nyeo refuses to take it back, saying those clothes are more expensive and that she should forget her old clothes. Pil Jae pressures her into giving the clothes back but she doesn't give in.

Proposal Daisakusen ~Operation Love~

Warning! Spoilers below!

"Hallelujah chance! *wink and pose* Noooooooo!" That's Yamapi's signature line in the drama.

Proposal Daisakusen is a story about childhood friends (Ken and Rei) who lived their lives together from grade school up to college. The series opens with Rei getting married to their high school professor (Tada). During the reception, Ken gives a message for the newlyweds. After his speech, a slide of Rei and Tada-san's pictures that serves as the timeline of their relationship was played. While watching the slide presentation, Ken realized that he had a lot of chances to tell Rei how he feels for her but didn't act on it. A fairy then appears, telling him that he will give Ken the chance to go back to the past by using the pictures on the slide. He would be transported a few hours before the photo was taken and would be back to the present when the camera flashes. He should then use his chances and make Rei his girl.

He was really able to go back to the past and little by little changed things. He even made his two friends (Eri and Hisashi) go out with each other. But it's not enough for Rei to be his girlfriend. Everytime he goes back to the present, it was always during the slide presentation, which means that Rei still got married. However, it was implied during these travels that Rei also has feelings for him but eventually gave up because she feels that Ken doesn't feel as strongly as her. She thinks that he prefers keeping his emotions to himself that's why she got so frustrated. Ken was supposed to propose to her too and even bought a ring but Rei rejected him before he even started proposing. Ken threw the ring away but their friend Eri found it and gave it to Rei. This made Rei doubt her decision about marrying her professor. That was the last photo. Ken already gave up but was shocked to realize he was on the stage and was only about to give his speech. He finally got the courage to say everything he wanted to say and walked out of the hall. Rei got confused even more but was let go by her fiancé and she followed Ken.

This series was recommended by a classmate of mine, a hardcore jdrama fan! :)) When I got to watch it, every episode thrills me and I was always eager to watch the next one, especially when it was about to end. The story shows that most people have regrets about things they made in the past and silently wishes to correct their mistakes. However, we aren't as lucky as Ken to get a chance to go back to the past. The only thing we can do is accept the past as a part of our life and act on the present. As a singer said before, "There's no future in the past." The present is still there and we can do something about it for the future. The drama also emphasized that there was never a right timing. Say whatever you want to say or do whatever you want to do so that you won't find yourself waking up one day and realize that the opportunity slipped by. *sighs* Another regret.

Proposal Daisakusen made me realize that I am lucky for waking up today, which means that I still have the chance to do or say what I want. It inspired me to look forward to my life on a positive way. I really recommend this series to everyone! Long live Japan! :))
