All About Eve episode 3 recap 

Sun Mi arrives in the UK.

She goes to the college office to sort some things out for her course, but struggles in English to make herself understood.

Hyung Chul happens to be in the office too and notices that she is Korean. But he doesn’t say anything to her. Then she goes off to join her English class. (which is a rather odd and old fashioned style lesson!)

Afterwards on the bus on the way home she is distracted thinking about Woo Jin and Young Mi. So when she gets off the bus, she starts crossing the road on a red light and ends up getting hit by a car.

Hyung Chul is driving the car!

And of course he’s shocked that he has hit someone.

Meanwhile in Korea…

Young Mi and Woo Jin and family are enjoying themselves and eating in a restaurant.

They have just helped Young Mi move into a flat. But Woo Jin’s mum is still suspicious of Young Mi. She knows she’s trouble…

Back at the scene of the accident…

Hyung Chul takes Sun Mi to the hospital. And then she simply says goodbye without getting his details, so there’s no way that she can get in contact with him. It appears that she is OK physically. But Sun Mi’s aunt wonders if there is something wrong since Sun Mi is acting strange. She is not her usual bubbly self.

That’s because she is preoccupied with Woo Jin and Young Mi.

She calls her dad in Korea from a traditional red phone box (which you’d be lucky to find these days!) But there’s no answer. There’s no reply from Woo Jin either, so she leaves a message. But Young Mi hears the message and deletes it. Ooooh.

Later, Sun Mi tries again and calls Woo Jin’s mobile number. But he’s in the bathroom, so this time Young Mi answers his phone. She must realise that this will upset Sun Mi, which it does. Sun Mi tries to hide her feelings though.

Poor Woo Jin. He’s far too soft.

He comes out of the bathroom and though he looks disappointed that he didn’t get to speak to Sun Mi, Young Mi soon takes his mind off her by suggesting they go out.

Young Mi does her helpless act and tells Woo Jin that she’s jealous of Sun Mi because she has such a great dad  while her own dad is dead. She asks Woo Jin to look after her and he is obviously touched.

Over in the UK…

We are presented with another strange English class!

Then Sun Mi finds Hyung Chul waiting with a letter. But she doesn’t seem that pleased to see him. (even though this is Jang Dong-geon HELLO?)

The letter is from Woo Jin. But after reading it, Sun Mi doesn’t look happy at all. Hyung Chul asks her to go to dinner with him but she can’t because she’s working.

She works part-time at her aunt’s Korean restaurant. But that evening, Hyun Chul turns up! It just so happens to be the same restaurant where he regularly eats!

So this is where he was going to take her anyway. They laugh about that.

After work, she reads the letter again. Poor Sun Mi must feel so far away and helpless wondering what is going on between Young Mi and Woo Jin.

Young Mi has managed to add some bits to the letters as well. Enough to let Sun Mi know that she is spending lots of time with Woo Jin. (Oh she’s clever…)

In Seoul…

Sun Dal and Joo Hee are at work and are arguing over Joo Hee’s clothes.

They are doing a morning show but she is wearing formal evening wear. So Sun Dal doesn’t think her clothes are appropriate for a morning show.

We get another glimpse of Joo Hee’s personality. she has a lot of pride and points out how hard she has worked to beat the competition to become a news anchor (which seems to be a prestigious position) .

Back in the UK…

Sun Mi is in the park outside her school, trying to study. She’s eating kimbap that her aunt made.

Hyung Chul happens to be passing by. He comes over and ends up eating all the kimbap, much to her annoyance!

But he promises to make it up to her. So he takes her shopping.

They look at hats. Cambridge hats. He puts one on and jokes around saying the hat is for his girlfriend but that Sun Mi can wear it for now. She tries a hat on him and says it’s for her dad. Hyung Chul is moved since he does not get on with his dad.

In Korea…

Sun Mi’s dad visits Young Mi in her new place and gives her some spending money.

She goes shopping with Cho Jeh but suddenly gets a phone call and says she has to go.

It’s the bad boy from her past. He wants her to come and work for him – as a hostess. He says the girls he has working for him right now are not good enough.

She says no.

He demands to know if she is seeing the adjoshi (Mr. Jin) who helped her out, but she just walks off.

She eats alone in a cheap restaurant and then calls Woo Jin. They go to the cinema and watch a Japanese film. In the theatre she links arms with him. The bad boy from her past is sitting behind them snarling.

After they leave she asks Woo Jin to get her another job because she needs more work. He suggests his mum’s convenience store – night shift works out at 2,500 won per hour! 

She doesn’t like the sound of that. 

The bad boy, Bae In Soo, turns up at her flat. He is still pestering her to come and work for him.

The money must be too good to refuse because she starts working at the club wearing lots of make up and  a wig! Sun Dal happens to turn up at the club. He says hello to her but doesn’t recognize her in the wig. She gets loads of money and In Soo wants her to give up school and work with him.

Then Woo Jin turns up at Young Mi’s place and tells her he has found her a part-time job. But he is actually giving her his job.

He says he needs to quit anyway since he has to concentrate on his studies. She hugs him and tells him he is too good and doesn’t know how bad she is (That’s true. If only she could accept everyone’s kindness without always wanting more)

In the UK…

Sun Mi visits Hyung Chul. He’s playing the piano.

Back in Korea….

Young Mi is doing the part time time. It’s a tutoring job. (a very common part time just for University students)

However, her student is from a well-off family and is not interested in studying.

He tells her he will go abroad (as all rich kids do) and spends most of his time looking at her cleavage. She gets annoyed.

But Young Mi hasn’t given up the karaoke job.

Hostesses get lots of free drinks and she drinks too much and has to go to the bathroom to throw up.

She gazes at herself in the mirror and In Soo warns her not to drink all the free drinks she gets.

Meanwhile Woo Jin is in his dark room. And he is clearly in the dark about Young Mi and what she is doing too.

After work, Young Mi goes back to the workshop still in her makeup and wig and tells Woo Jin to look at her as she is dressed now because this is who she is. It’s like she is trying to make him interested in her and turn him away all at the same time.

He looks confused, but not put off.

But then Woo Jin’s mum walks in. And when she sees what Young Mi is wearing, she is shocked and appalled….
