Sun Mi and Young Mi All About Eve episode 2, MBC 2000

All About Eve episode 2

Mr. Jin goes to the workshop to see Young Mi. She is grateful for all he has done for her and starts to cry.

As he hugs her, Mrs. Song walks in and sees them in an embrace. She is shocked and angry and storms out.

Mr. Jin follows her trying to explain the situation. He is just trying to help someone in need. But Mrs. Song doesn’t think it’s right to have a young woman staying at the workshop when there are young men around. Mr. Jin calls her narrow-minded! (But this is a conservative country)

Back at home…

Mr Jin has to tell his daughter Sun Mi about Young Mi’s situation. (he has let her stay in the workshop.)

Sun Mi is not happy that he has kept this from her. And she’s become wary of Young Mi after seeing her competitive side at the broadcasting station.

Sun Mi soon discovers more about Young Mi’s competitiveness.

Sun Mi meets her friend Cho Jeh who says Young Mi helped her on the internet find something in English. This is pretty impressive as it means Young Mi has been studying English by herself. Her family would not have had the money for a teacher.

Cho Jeh is under the impression that Young Mi comes from a rich family as that’s what Young Mi has been telling everyone. But straight away Sun Mi realizes that Young Mi has been telling lies. And it confirms her suspicions that Young Mi is not to be trusted.

Sun Mi confronts Young Mi about her lies.

But Young Mi is unrepentant. She admits that she doesn’t like people like Sun Mi who have all the luck.

She also announces that she is not interested in Woo Jin. But just as she says that, Woo Jin calls her. He tells her about a part time job at the broadcasting station and Young Mi is flirtatious on the phone in front of Sun Mi!

Sun Mi looks upset. After all, Woo Jin is supposed to be HER friend. And even though she had asked him to get her a job, he has considered Young Mi first.

As Sun Mi is about to leave, Young Mi points out that Sun Mi may have fortunate circumstances, she herself is strong-willed. (I think we’ve all noticed that already)

Woo Jin takes Young Mi to the broadcasting station where she gets some job training.

She is clearly intelligent and catches on quickly. Everyone is impressed.

Afterwards the two of them go to eat noodles. She gets emotional and cries talking about her father’s death. But is this all a show for Woo Jin? It’s hard to tell if she is sincere or not. But clearly Woo Jin is already besotted.

Meanwhile at the workshop…

Sun Mi looks worried as she waits with Joon Mo for them to return.

Eventually, she gives up and leaves. But on her way out she sees Woo Jin and Young Mi walking home.

Young Mi is linking arms with Woo Jin and flirting with him.

Then she does the ‘I’ve got something in my eye‘ trick to get him to stand close and look into her eyes while she acts all innocent.

Sun Mi watches everything from behind a wall in frustration. Looks like he is falling for Young Mi’s tricks…

Once they go indoors, Sun Mi calls him saying she wants to talk to him alone.

They go to a cafe where she demands to know what’s going on. She confronts him about why he helped Young Mi get the job even though she had asked him first.

Woo Jin tries to rationalize his decision by saying Young Mi needed the job more than she did. This is technically true, but Young Mi is not the delicate flower he seems to think she is. (it’s frustrating that he falls for her antics so easily!)

Sun Mi throws a little tantrum pointing out that she likes him and he knows it. He brushes this off and says it’s time to go. Then outside the cafe he puts his arm around her in a brotherly way.

At university…

the rivalry continues as both Young Mi and Sun Mi get praised for their work.

Sun Mi gets a job at the broadcasting station too and she’s happy. That is until Young Mi suggests she got the job because YOUNG MI specifically asked that they also offer Sun Mi a job there! (Like she’s the boss now?)

At the broadcasting station, Young Mi has to show Sun Mi the ropes.

But Sun Mi isn’t as quick to learn as Young Mi who treats her like an idiot. Unfortunately, later she has to ask Young Mi for help when the tape gets stuck in the player. She’s mortified but doesn’t know what else to do. (we’ve all been there)

Later she asks Woo Jin questions about how things work at the station. Woo Jin messes around calling her an idiot and they play fight like brother and sister.

But Sun Mi has lived such a sheltered life and needs to be shown everything. On the other hand, Young Mi is more worldly-wise and can figure things out for herself.

Meanwhile, Hyung Chul is back in England.

He gets a call from Joo Hee. She’s also in London reporting the news. So they go to a Korean restaurant together! (Even though she will be back in Korea in a few days time?)

She tells him that she can’t see him again because she has an event to go to, then turns up at his flat all dressed up.

It’s clear she likes him and she fishes for compliments. When she asks him if she looks pretty, he replies yes. But he looks uninterested. She makes him put on a suit so that they are both dressed up and they go for a walk on the river Thames. As they chat, she asks if he has ever had a crush on anyone. But it seems that he has never been in love.

Back in Korea…

Sun Mi sees a picture Woo Jin took of Young Mi for a magazine. Young Mi notices Sun Mi’s face fall as she gazes at the picture.

But Sun Mi still manages to compliment Young Mi on the picture. This is probably hard enough for her to do, but Young Mi rubs salt in the wound. She teases Sun Mi by saying that the quality of a picture depends on how much the photographer loves the model!

Sun Mi decides to leave (I don’t blame her). And seems to be waiting for Woo Jin to leave too. But he doesn’t.

At university …

Young Mi and Cho Jeh drag Sun Mi away from her studies and they go shopping.

But the dodgy bloke from Young Mi’s past is waiting for her outside. She pretends that she doesn’t know him.

She is aware of him following them around the shops. So on the way home she tries to persuade Sun Mi to go to the workshop with her for coffee. She is afraid to go alone and Sun Mi notices she is acting strange.

Suddenly, two young men appear. Sun Mi assumes they want her money and is about to give them her wallet when one of the men tries to grab her. Young Mi hits him with her bag and throws one of her shoes at his head and then shouts at Sun Mi to run.

They run away and the men chase them.

The girls split up and Young Mi runs into the dodgy bloke who is waiting for her.

He smacks her across the face but then apologises and sends the two young men off to buy medicine! Then he rips a plaster off her ankle to reveal a tattoo.

(This is obviously meant to be a sign that she is trying to hide her unsavoury past. Twenty years ago when this drama was made, nice young women did not have tattoos. Tattoos were associated with gangsters. By 2021 it’s a different story and many young people have fashion tattoos)

We learn that Young Mi has something in common with the mystery man. They both have alcoholic parents. But she is trying to get away from that life.

Meanwhile, Sun Mi has found Woo Jin and he rushes to Young Mi’s rescue.

He finds her staggering home and she faints so he takes her to Sun Mi’s house.

Mrs. Song is not impressed. She can see that Young Mi is very tough and no ordinary girl and tells Woo Jin to stay away from her.

But he wants to take care of her and makes Young Mi some soup. She goes all girly and hugs him. And then she says she likes him but doesn’t want to hurt Sun Mi. (Oh that’s clever.)

It’s terrible timing for Sun Mi who walks in and catches them hugging. She is aghast, but composes herself and pretends there’s no problem as Woo Jin is ‘just a friend’.

She apologises for interrupting and runs out. But downstairs, away from the others she begins to cry while upstairs Young Mi grins smugly.

Sun Mi is going to the UK to study. Woo Jin and Young Mi see her off at the airport. But as she leaves her expression reveals that she is worried about leaving Young Mi and Woo Jin alone together. (And so she should be..)
