49 Days: Episode 6
by girlfriday
This episode is a nice set of revelations, confessions, and change-ups, as all the characters reveal a little something about themselves, get further entangled in each other’s lives, and end up face to face with some of those pesky feelings. Yeah, that leads to exactly what you’d expect: it’s called Denial Land, and we all live here, because who needs the truth when you can repress and shout instead?
EPISODE 6 RECAP
Min-ho grabs Ji-hyun (in Yi-kyung’s body), his anger and curiosity getting the best of him. He tells her not to look at him with those eyes anymore, accusing her of trying to ensnare him with the impression that she knows him. Well, it’s not totally off base, what you’re picking up on, but from the point of view that she IS a perfect stranger, you are one egomaniacal dude.
Both In-jung and Kang walk up and see the display, feeling the tension. Min-ho refuses to let go of Ji-hyun’s arm until In-jung finally interrupts and makes her presence known. Ji-hyun apologizes and walks away, realizing that she should heed the Scheduler’s warning and be more careful about being Ji-hyun-esque in front of her friends. Well, I use the term ‘friends’ loosely. Backstabbity-ex-friends included.
Over dinner, Kang tells Min-ho that he won’t be doing the Haemido project anymore, and tries to hand over the sketches he’s made so far. Min-ho doesn’t accept the decision, and says that he’s the only one to do it. Selfishly, I want Kang to wash his hands of the nasty scheme, but I suppose the characters’ relationships have to be crisscrossed thusly.
He takes Ji-hyun downstairs and gives her a lecture about customer service, declaring that Min-ho is his friend’s fiancé. Ji-hyun pouts to herself, thinking that Kang is so nice to Min-ho, when he was always so mean to her. Oh, sweet, dim-witted girl.
In-jung is dying of curiosity about how Min-ho took care of the land deal, and asks him to drive her home, feigning sickness. He takes issue with her boldness, both with the ride and with her repeatedly calling him oppa in public, but she insists they’re in the clear.
He tells her about the plan to declare Ji-hyun non compos mentis, and asks her to be patient, because it’s going to take time for Dad to come to terms with the decision. She complains that it’s been two years of sneaking around in hotel rooms and such, and the wedding day was supposed to be the end of it.
Oh, wah, poor cheating princess. Are you tired of all the sneaking around and lying with your boyfriend? Let me get you a tissue.
Min-ho feeds her a few smooth lines about how “location doesn’t matter if they can be comfortable around each other,” (Blech) and that they’re “going to be together for the rest of their lives” anyway (Double blech). That’d be Cheater Line #1 and Cheater Line #2.
She’s reassured, that is until she goes to reach for his hand and he turns away unwittingly. Despite her being a cheater, I do feel sorry for her in that she went this far because she loves him, only to get the cold shoulder after she’s neck-deep in lies.
At the same time, Ji-hyun takes the bus home and deletes all the pictures of her and Min-ho on her camera. But when she gets to pictures of her girlfriends, she can’t bring herself to delete them. She cries, asking In-jung when she stopped being a friend to her. Sad.
She notices her own tears and a lightbulb goes off. She calls the Scheduler and asks if this phone can be used to talk to not-dead people too. He gives the phone a you’re-kidding-me-right-right look, and basically calls her an idiot for not using it until now.
She makes some calls to the people on her list on her way home, and gets spotted by the landlady. She makes a run for it to avoid another encounter, and rushes to go to sleep. Ji-hyun’s soul pops out and Yi-kyung wakes up to the landlady pounding on the door, demanding rent.
Yi-kyung starts to suspect something really is going on, when the landlady tells her she saw her outside, and then reminds her that she was here yesterday. She looks in the mirror, staring at her hair, wondering what the hell is going on.
Ji-hyun watches in fear, and immediately pushes her Scheduler panic button. This time she gets a video greeting in reply, from Scheduler-nim: “This is not an emergency situation,” and he wags his finger at her. Hahahaha. Yi-kyung is suspicious, but lets it rest for now, and Ji-hyun breathes a sigh of relief.
The next day, she comes bounding in to work, and asks Kang to sign her in-time in her notebook, so she can calculate her freelance part-time pay properly. He agrees with a smile, and she thanks him brightly, calling him “ssa-jang-nim,” an exaggerated pronunciation of “Boss.”
He tells her to quit calling him that, but she asks what she’s supposed to call him instead then: “Han Kang-sshi? Or…Han Kang? How about that? Can’t I just call you Han Kang? They do it in America. Jenny, John, Brad, Kang. Hey, Kang!”
Ha. He does NOT look pleased at that, so she puts her hand down sheepishly. I love that as Ji-hyun, she desperately wants to call her friend the way she’s always called him, but she can’t, not in Yi-kyung’s body. Still, he can’t help but smile as he watches her bounce away.
Mom thinks over Ji-hyun’s words that she wants to become a mother like her, and heads to the hospital with a thermos full of ox bone soup (something that she doesn’t eat) because it’s Ji-hyun and Dad’s favorite.
At the same time, Manager Oh’s wife shows up at the restaurant with a pot full of the same soup for the staff. Ji-hyun eats her share to the last drop, and when Kang sees her eating so well, he gives up his rice for her to have more.
Aw, I love his little gesture, and also the connection between Ji-hyun and her mother through this motif, because ox bone soup is honestly synonymous with “mom” for me. It’s a Korean thing. The smell of that soup makes me think of my mother, without fail.
Outside, a little kid breaks a glass and cries, and Ji-hyun goes outside to clean up the mess. The kid throws a tantrum, so Ji-hyun shows him a magic trick with the tissue, making him smile and wipe his tears.
Kang watches, stunned. It triggers a memory of high school, when he joined the magic club because he “had to,” (yeah, right) and Ji-hyun showed him that same trick, over and over again.
He watches her smiling back at the kid, and he actually starts to see her as Ji-hyun, with that same smile. He asks her if she knows magic tricks, and Ji-hyun just says she learned it from a friend and heads inside.
Kang sits down with Manager Oh and starts naming all the similarities between Ji-hyun and Yi-kyung: her eating habits, her nervous habits, her word choice, and now magic tricks too. He adds, “and by feelings too…” which means that she feels like Ji-hyun, but we can read into it another layer: that his romantic feelings for both are being confused.
Ji-hyun goes on her first tear-gathering mission, and goes to see an old high school friend at a gallery. She introduces herself as Ji-hyun’s friend, and asks to film a video message, to provide Ji-hyun a connection to her friends and encourage her to wake up.
She asks for a tearjerker story, and the friend obliges, but there are no tears to be seen. Instead she states quite matter-of-factly that it’s not like Ji-hyun is dead or anything, and asks about what happened with her engagement.
Ji-hyun leaves, realizing that this is going to be harder than she thought. I don’t know why she’s starting with satellite friends instead of at least starting with Seo-woo. I mean, even if you don’t believe that Kang would cry for you, why wouldn’t you start with one of your best friends?
Meanwhile, Kang visits Ji-hyun in the hospital, bearing her favorite roses because he’s perfect. Gah. He sees her toes sticking out from under the blanket and covers them, and says aloud that she’s here…so why does he keep seeing her elsewhere?
He smiles and tells her that she’s supposed to say that he’s crazy. He says it again, that he’s the crazy one, as if trying to convince himself.
Ji-hyun heads to Seo-woo’s bakery, reminding me why it’s harder to gather tears from her closest friends—because they already know her as Kang’s employee, so she can’t double as Ji-hyun’s friend. This is going to get tricky when worlds collide.
She tries to ask about the friend that Seo-woo is thinking about a little too eagerly, scaring her off (with the misinterpreted implication that she’s got romantic feelings for her, no less). She buys some of her favorite pastries, and heads back to work.
Kang sees her on his way back from the hospital, but decides to ignore her. He drives past, leaving Ji-hyun waving after him. She runs to catch up with him, asking why he drove past, and he just brushes her off gruffly, pretending not to have seen her.
She appears downstairs with a pastry for him (his favorite kind), and he has an outburst in response, because he’s a grumpypants, trying not to feel feelings. He yells at her and tells her to get out and stop bugging him, bringing her near tears. Le sigh, if only you’d take your own advice, sir, and realize why you’re being such a hot-and-cold ass.
In-jung gets the cold shoulder from Min-ho, so she asks Seo-woo to dinner. They head to Kang’s, where they run into Ji-hyun briefly. Manager Oh sends her home because she doesn’t look well, and In-jung asks the other waitress if “Yi-kyung” is a good worker, since she gets treated so well. She replies that it’s because the boss likes her—she comes and goes as she pleases.
Ji-hyun heads home, exhausted, and calls the Scheduler to come and get the money that she owes him—the 49 dollars he loaned her in the beginning. He looks rather surprised that she’s already paying him back, but he’s mid-songwriting session, and feeling inspired, so he tells her to come to him, since she’s the lendee.
She reminds him that she won’t be able to touch the money once she’s out of Yi-kyung’s body, but he lays a new rule on her: if it’s intended for him, she’ll be able to. I do love these arbitrary rules. But that means that she can touch HIM, yeah? What? Just checking the rules.
She shows up to the club (And how much do I love that Reaper Boy is a Hongdae club rat?) where he’s singing his latest creation, “Scarecrow.” Ji-hyun listens, entranced, and claps cheerily afterwards. He plays it cool, but totally basks in the praise.
She tinkers with the piano and wistfully says that being a singer was once her dream, prompting a huge laugh out of the Scheduler. She puts on a pouty face and sings a line from the song he just sang, making him eat his words. Surprised, he asks why she never pursued it. She says that Daddy didn’t let her, ’cause he wanted her to get married instead. Yeah, that turned out nicely for you.
She tells him that she made her first attempt at tear-gathering today, and felt totally pathetic. He tells her that it’s a given for a 49er, and reminds her that humans are complicated. He adds, “But you’re better off than a Scheduler…because you have the hope of coming back to life.”
She asks how he became a Scheduler in the first place. He volunteered. She asks why.
Scheduler: I don’t know what it is, but I think I died with something sincerely important left to do. That’s why I volunteered. If I finish my five-year term without incident, I can do that thing. That’s the reason why I live as a scheduler.
She asks what that thing is. Scheduler: “If I KNEW, why would I be scheduler?!” She realizes that it was a dumb question, and adds that he’s got it pretty rough, for being such a young kid. Heh.
Meanwhile, Yi-kyung never made it out to work that night because she got sick from something that Ji-hyun ate. Kyung-bin (the doc) comes by the store asking after her, and the boss says she never showed up or called that night.
Ji-hyun waits outside, wondering why Yi-kyung isn’t coming home from work, and calls the Scheduler, insisting that it’s really an emergency this time. They go inside and find Yi-kyung writhing in pain, and he tells her to go to the hospital, and shoves Ji-hyun in.
She recounts all the stuff she ate to the doctor, who reels in shock and asks if she didn’t throw up. Meanwhile Kang waits at work, wondering if maybe he was too harsh on her yesterday.
Min-ho presents Dad with the Haemido land deal, with the financial backup plan/loophole/hostile takeover soft spot in play. At the same time, Dad starts throwing up. What the? How can dad and daughter have the same food poisoning from different batches of the same soup?
Ji-hyun realizes how late she is for work, and heads to the drugstore to pick up her medicine, and runs to the bus stop. Min-ho happens to be driving out of the hospital just then, and spots her, right when she crosses the street and trips. He instinctively jerks out of his seat wanting to help her, but stops himself.
He watches as she limps to the bus stop and takes her medication, and then decides to offer her a ride. She turns him down with a sneer, refusing to go with him. He tells her that he’s headed to Kang’s anyway, and asks why she won’t take the ride.
Ji-hyun: “Because I don’t like you.” He asks why, and she responds that there’s no reason; she just dislikes him. She muses that he wouldn’t understand because he probably needs a reason for everything—to like or dislike someone.
He can’t let it go, for whatever reason, and literally drags her into the car. Geez, what the hell, dude? This is why people are calling you out on your weird behavior. In the car she notes the picture of him and well, herself, and says without thinking, “She looks stupid.” She quickly corrects it, saying that she seems trusting and gullible.
Kang is of course waiting outside for her to arrive, and freaks out when he sees her getting out of Min-ho’s car. Is it wrong that I’m giddy over the jealous feud that’s about to break out?
By the time Min-ho comes downstairs into his office, Kang is already fuming mad, and he asks why Yi-kyung arrived in his car. Where did they meet? Why did he give her a ride? What’s he doing, when Ji-hyun is lying there like that? Has he already given up on Ji-hyun?
Min-ho just argues right back, asking why they’re talking about Ji-hyun (whom he thinks Kang dislikes) when this is really about his feelings for Yi-kyung. Kang denies it, and then so does Min-ho, shouting that he has no interest in Yi-kyung.
And round and round they go. I love that either way you go in that conversation, they’re both interested in BOTH girls, making for a whole world of confusion and lots of posturing about how they’re TOTALLY uninterested, and yet, with the shouty.
Min-ho leaves and Kang calls Yi-kyung/Ji-hyun down, and fires her for the last time. He tells her that Min-ho is his friend’s fiancé, and that he has a job to protect her. Ji-hyun realizes that he’s doing all this for her, although she’s missing the part where he’s also totally jealous but refusing to admit it.
He throws down an envelope of money, and she tells him that he knows she won’t take it. With tears in her eyes, she thanks him, and says that she’ll consider it hers, all the care he’s giving to his friend. And with quiet goodbyes to the staff, she leaves.
Outside, Min-ho overhears that she’s been fired, and waits for her to come out. He asks what she’ll do now, and then offers her a job as his housekeeper. Raaargh. I hate the idea that she’s going to leave Kang’s to go work for him, but then I see why she jumps at the opportunity to spy on his secret life.
She asks how much he’ll pay, and takes the job.
COMMENTS
That’s going to be an interesting twist to the daily affairs. I can’t say I’m happy about it for Kang’s sake (because his growing crush on her is ADORABLE), but it should make it easier for Ji-hyun to thwart Min-ho’s scheme from the inside. And I do like seeing him squirm around her. I just hope it’s not the end of the cute antics between Kang and Ji-hyun, especially when he’s just starting to put two and two together about all the similarities between Yi-kyung and Ji-hyun.
I like that Ji-hyun for once has the upper hand, as the soul-in-Yi-kyung’s-body, since she’s got the ability to move about in Ji-hyun’s world without anyone knowing who she is. Despite her frustrations, it is a kind of wish fulfillment, to find out what people really think of you. I am kind of concerned at how far the revenge plot might go (giving Kang the wrong idea or even worse, making her bitter and jaded) though I don’t think she’s got it in her to be quite the vengeful ghost.
I also appreciate that there are consequences to using Yi-kyung’s body, and that not resting or overeating is taking a toll on her physically. It’ll be interesting to see if her suspicions will lead her closer to the doctor, since he’s a shrink and she might be crazy. Well, inhabited by a ghost twelve hours a day, so…same thing.
Yay for more backstory on Reaper Boy, who now has a task and a journey all his own. His connection to Yi-kyung is a given (the puzzle pieces are laid out and as he said himself, nothing in his town is a coincidence), but the interesting part will be in his discovery of that fact. And of course the real fun (and drama) will be when it all comes to a head: can he finish his term without breaking any more rules for Ji-hyun, or will helping her eventually keep him from his “reason for being a scheduler”?
Also, is god-lighting one of the perks of being undead, or is that just a side effect of wearing Jung Il-woo?

The chinese subs say that Scheduler was tweeting "Congratulations! 43 more days to end of scheduling!"....so it'll mean that Ji hyun is his last assignment!
I'm so intrigued!!! can't figure out how it's all going to play out!!
and I love the daddy and mummy. They are so sad to watch.
i'm stressed that there may be no more kang and yi kyung moments next week... I love their bickering!! Jenny, John, Brad, Kang. Hey, Kang!”
I may be consoled if I see Kang upset and lost missing her presence tho, but pls, Show, bring back the Cute!

Does anyone else think that Seo Woo has a thing for Kang? I might be reading too much into it, but she was abnormally excited when In Jung asked her to get Kang to eat with them.
Anyway, I'm really excited to find out how everyone's back story is linked together! :) I just hoped that the writers have got it all planned out, and will not just haphazardly throw the pieces together so that it doesn't make sense. Yay can't wait!

oh wow... this episode totally threw me off on my earlier speculation.
I really like where the writer is going off with this story.
and i take back the minho-in jung siblings thing, cuz obviously in jung in is love with minho, though i can't say the same with minho.
Hankang is attracted to Yin Kyung cuz Ji Hyun's soul is in her, so my bet is going to be hankang will obviously still love ji hyun till the end of this drama.
as for minho, i guess he's been surrounded by women who instantly took a liking towards him when they meet him that it makes him curious as to why Yi Kyung is looking at him with such despise. but i am SURE minho will definitely fall for yi kyung(with ji hyun's soul inside of course). so its really interesting to see when he finally learns that yi kyung that he knows is actually Ji Hyun, his fiancee that he lied to.
The real yi kyung would probably ends up with the stalker doctor.
and Reaper boy... i dunno... its going to be awkward should he really is ji hyun's brother ( i merely feels this way cuz i ship the reaper boy-ji hyun as a couple!) haha
the remaining question would be who's ji hyun going to choose in the end.
i do worship reaper boy, so i would loves to see her with him. but i know that's impossible.
it left us with minho and hankang.
but with every episode adding a twist to the storyline... it seriously amazing that up till episode 6, nobody can guess what is the real story behind the relationship of the lead characters. i'd say, APPLAUD THE WRITER! ^^

i think the scheduler is the guy who died in the car accident who is also a loved one of Yi-kyung (you know the body she was seeing when she was trying to kill herself.) it would be great if the scheduler and Ji-hyun were brothers and sister but why cant she remember or recognize him if he was?

So many mysteries! I believe YK & JH are long lost sisters.YK grew up in an orphanage and Reaper Boy is YK's BF. The doctor caused an accident with Reaper Boy five years ago. JH will wake up and end up with Kang. Reaper Boy will come alive as MH who dies in a an accident, and everyone lives happily ever after. Gee, I been watching too many K soaps.....It's fun to imagine the endings.

Thanks for the recap...i can't wait for next week's ep already...
i love the turn of events so far and fell in love with The Scheduler's song/singing!!! very nice...
i also thought that the scheduler is somehow related to YK since the 5 years are tied in...
but then again, he can't be a bf right? why would she be so lifeless for just a bf? he has to be someone much closer than that of a bf for her to be so lonesome and all...
didn't the dr also mentioned he made the mistake of diagnosing 'him'? so he was treating him not her???
this is really soooooooooo kdrama....

I don't know who to go for! did i mention that reaper boy is hot?

I started watching this show because of hot reaper boy, but the plot turned out to be pretty interesting. However, Jung Il-Woo is still my favorite part of 49 days...although I do hope the cheating fiance and backstabbing friend get what's coming to them.
I heard somewhere that the Reaper/Scheduler is Yi Kyung's brother. Has anyone else heard that?

This drama is getting off tangent, which really throw me off my initial low expectation.
I can't predict what is going to happen next!
What will happen to YK when she works at Min Ho's place? What happen to the backstabbing friend who see his bf is attracted to another woman?
What will happen to Reaper Boy if he keeps helping JH?
Whose tears, God, please tell me whose tears JH will get!
And who is she ended up with?
YK must be thinking she is going crazy after seeing all the uneven things that happen to her.
Ahh...Wednesday please come quickly.
Thanks Girlfriday and Javabean for the recap!

I really like this show. I only have one pet peeve, and that's that the actress who plays Ji Hyun looks somewhat cartoonish. I don't know why, but her face is a little "off" to me. I feel bad saying this, but it's just something that I've found off putting again and again. Has anyone else felt something similar?

Why does this show make me think of Full Moon wo Sagashite?
Loved the manga and love the show! =D (I know they're different! But what if... certain other elements turn out to be similar... =O) At least the show is original in many aspects, particularly in how it's laid out and begins, and the perfect engagement slowly unravels... and we don't know who's going to end up with who or what's going to happen...
And I actually like both actresses (the wow-worthy actor is obviously Jung Il-Woo - he's AWESOME - but the others are totally carrying the story and they can because they have stories unlike HJW with Ra Im). I think the original Ji-Hyun has more chemistry with the Scheduler, and I think it would be really interesting if there was some pairing scheme like JHxScheduler and YKxKang just to be different...
Can't wait for next week!!!! =D Thanks as always for the recaps!

I think you are right about the Scheduler and Yk's connection.
I think the Scheduler's unfinished business has to do with her, and when it's complete he will go on to his new life as a BABY. That's how regular reincarnation works, I think
I think Yk ends up with that overly committed doctor, and I guess his behavior passes muster since he doesn't seem to be an actively practicing doctor. If he were his behavior might be actionable.
I think Han Kang ends up with JH and let's hope some of the IQ points she earns on the spirit plane remains with her when she recovers from her coma.
I think the BEST development is that MH is falling in love with JH, the person he was suppose to be in love with for two years, without realizing it. When the deal fails, as i assume it will and he truly loses JH who he will sincerely be in love with boy is he gonna feel bad.

Gah this drama is definitely a never ending roller coaster ride. Here are my thoughts: (subject to change)
1. The reaper is YK's past lover. I've heard about him being her "brother" but I'm leaning more towards lover.
2. JH & YK are sisters (step-sisters?). The cow bone soup thing was too coincidental. I think the writers subtlely hinted something there.
3. JH & HK are going to end up together.
Just my 2 cents. Enjoying the progression of this drama so far.

Lee Yo Won acting is good and play JH's character so well , and the writer has focus too much on JH that it mislead us thinking that JH is the lead actress.
Lee Yo Won is the lead actress in this drama...i do not think she will end up with the doctor who is not even a 3rd lead actor.
I felt cheated if JH in her own body ,end up with HK.
10 or 14 episode to go, I am sure there is enough time for HK and YK relation to progress.

Lee Yo Won is the lead actress, but the main character of the drama is Ji Huyn. At least for now it is. Its about her journey of collecting three tears and growing up.
But rumor has it they will switch to the scheduler and YK's story within the 10th episode. I still think JH will still be an important character even then.

ok all you guys are just awesome! here i am watching the show and just wondering when will JH get her tears! none of this other stuff popped up in my head. but after reading all your comments my wheels are turning none stop. lol so here what i think is going on.
the Scheduler is most def connected to Yi Koung. i think he was her boyfriend who died. the timeline fits and him being un at ease at her house is kind of a red flag.
Yi Koung and Ji Hyun being sisters could happen. how this play out is anyones guess. the Scheduler did say that YK and JH were connected. at the time i just thought he meant sense it was YK fault that the whole massive car crash went down [ her trying to kill herself ] that her and JH was connected. it makes me wonder will YK ever fully realize JH presence in her life?
Min Ho is a great CHR. i love to hate him. we still dont know why he's doing this but he seems to have bad blood with the dad as well as IJ or at least she does on MH behave. as for these new found feeling for JH in YK body. i dont buy for one second it has anything to do with JH or YK. people seem to think he's seeing JH in her like Han Kang is and i dont think thats the case. when Ji Hyun is in Yi Koung body and is around Min Ho. she acts nothing like the the JH he knows. she cant stand his ass. and is not fooled by his tricks. the JH he knows is head over heels in love with him. so this attraction he's feeling for her has to do with the way she treats him and not JH [the one he knows anyways]. if she was acting all lovey dovey like she did when she 1st became a soul in YK body he wouldn't look twice at her. also it has nothing to YK either. it maybe her body but its not her. MH maybe a lot of things but i think even he is able to be attracted to someone on an intellectual level. b/c lets face it if it was YK he was falling for it would have to be on a physical level. its only YK body that is there not her herself.
as for Han Kang his feeling has everything to with JH. its been clear from get go that he see JH in YK. little does he know that it is actually JI HYUN! i love him and i cant wait for him to put it all together.
also remember what the scheduler said to JH when she 1st became a soul. that MH and her dad was able to walk through her because they though of her as gone. or at least i took it as they knew she was hurt but never would guess her soul is walking around out there. what if the key is for the person to BELIEVE your walking around out there! the more kang is around JH in YK body the more he see's JH. what would happen if he begans to believe that JH isnt laying in a bed in a coma but is actually walking around in YK body? it may seem far fetched but the ground work is already layed down. if he meets the real YK he would problem know in a heartbeat something is up. if he thinks YK is really JH than he maybe able to start seeing JH spirit!
same goes for YK if she starts actually giving in to her thoughts that somethings fishy is going on she may began seeing JH too.
the Scheduler said that after his five years he gets a wish but cant remember what it was he wanted to wish for but it was something he felt he really had to do. what if it had something to do with YK birth. what if he found out who her parents were and was one the way to tell her and only to die! tell me what you guys think. and i totally off on all this LOL!

Okay, this whole "bay leaves" thing is really beginning to bug me.
You're not SUPPOSED to eat the bay leaves. Bay leaves are only used for flavor during the cooking - most cooks pick them out before serving!

i don't know if it just me or this has something to do with all the kdrama i've been watching but i felt that the Scheduler's 'last something to do' has to do with Yi Kyung? Is it possible that he was the reason of Yi Kyung's lonely and pathetic life? and maybe in his case, Ji Hyun would be able to help out?

You are not alone...
I think I'm crazy too. Minho has such killler eyes! He looks so intense when he's staring at Yi Kyung. I really love the tension between them. Looking forward to ep 7, as I want to know what it will be like to have Ji Hyun (in YK body) working at Minho's!

hmmm...ive been scrambling my mind thinking of a more suitable and simpler theory not that the said theories weren't good cause they were it's just that it doesn't explain everything...so here's my piece of mind...
YK and JH could be sisters with the same father. By that I mean YK could have been a daughter from another woman by JH's father. That would explain YK being sick from eating the soup and the father as well. The "oh so hot reaper boy" could be the younger brother of YK from the family she grew up having. I think before the reaper boy died he found out about YK's true identity but wasn't able to live out to divulge it so he made a deal with the "boss" above to have the sisters reunited but in exchange he has to be a reaper for 5 years and when successfully done the sister can be back together in each others' arms.
As for the three people who's going to cry. I think the first two are obvious: MW and HK since they are her true friends but the third one is a lot harder to find but if my theory is right im betting on YK to be the third person to cry real tears.
So there's my theory. I think it's a lot realistic and more comprehensible...I can finally sleep tonight...can't wait for the upcoming episodes...great recap GF!

Thanks for the recap! Nam Gyuri was once in a singing group so it's cool that the drama wrote in a part to showcase her abilities.
