My Thoughts — My Sassy Girl — Episode 13
At the end of my recaps I have a “My Thoughts” section where I summarize my opinions. For shows that I’m not writing detailed watch-n-blog recaps, I’m writing a “thought-cap.” I just finished the next episode of My Sassy Girl.
Nutshell Summary: Who is the ghost archer? Who will catch the ghost archer? This was the focus of the episode. Officer Kang is charged with finding the ghost archer by the King. Wol Myung is charged with finding the ghost archer by evil Minister Jung. Everyone figures out that the ghost archer spreads his flyers of truth from sky lanterns.
As Kyun Woo walks the Princess back to the castle, he sees the sky lanterns and knows the ghost archer is at work. The ghost archer doesn’t realize Wol Myung is one knife throw away from killing him. Kyun Woo tackles the ghost archer just as Wol Myung throws the knife. The ghost archer and Kyon Woo roll down a hill. The Princess has followed and sees Kyun Woo on the ground. The ghost archer flees. As the Princess runs to him, Kyun Wol recalls as a young boy, he took the young Princess away from the massacre of her mother’s entourage the night the Queen was expelled. This is a full circle moment as Kyun Woo flashes back to the young Princess running to him just like she is in present day.
My Thoughts
Kyun Woo (Joo Won) had headaches and flashbacks that revealed his past connection to the Princess. Kyun Woo saved the young princess on the night her mother’s entourage was attacked. It is unclear how the young princess followed her mother’s entourage or why she was allowed to. Was hitting the tree what triggered Kyun Woo to forget this part of his past? Do his parent’s know the truth? Where is the deposed Queen? Wasn’t it cool when Kyun Woo calmly declared that he was considering marriage to the Princess? He was unflappable in spite of his parent’s shocked displeasure.
Princess Hye Myung (Oh Yeon Seo) tried to investigate her mother but the truth was difficult to obtain with the majority of players killed by Evil Minister Jung. She didn’t want her brother to learn about her mother’s alleged affair. When will Prince Wonja learn that the deposed Queen is his biological mother? Would the Princess agree to marry Kyun Woo if he asked?
New writer Yoon Hyo Je delivered an episode built to the long awaited reveal of Kyun Woo’s past memories. They have a shared past. Why doesn’t the Princess remember it? Why did Kwon Woo memories become blocked? Are they star crossed lovers or will they triumph in the end?
Other Thoughts:
* My favorite charmer Choon Poong sported the ghost archer mask for fun. Is he the ghost archer?
* Evil Minister Jung doubted Wol Myung for a millisecond then ordered him to kill the ghost archer. All the murders Wol Myung committed for Minister Jung showed how evil protects power above all. Is Choon Poong the crying baby of the printer that Wol Myung murdered?
* Dae Yeon continued her hunger strike to force her father to consider Kyun Woo as a potential husband for her. It didn’t work. She was angry to learn her maid had found love and slapped her. Does anyone like Dae Yeon?
* Could Kyun Woo’s sister be more irritating? His mother isn’t a winner either. And his father decided fleeing was the best way to keep his son safe. Does this mean he isn’t the Queen’s keeper?
Ranking the episodes (on a scale from 1-10) had me rank this episode as good. My episode ranking chart is below.

Evil stepmommy Queen was all too gleeful ๐ค to relate to Princess ๐ธ Hye Myung that her mother, the deposed ๐ queen, had an affair with Prince ๐ Choosung. That evil queenโs cackle grates on my nerves! Thankfully ๐ธ Hye Myung has faith in her mother. Iโm concerned she will say something to Won Ja about the deposed ๐ Queen; then again, that disclosure would not benefit her–the King ๐ would be most displeased! Evil stepmommy Queen is using Won Ja to protect herself since she has not had an heir ๐ถ; it would not be advantageous for her to reveal to Won Ja that the deposed ๐ Queen is his biological mom.
Da Yeon is something else, she โtrustsโ her father? Does she mean she โtrustsโ him to give into her demands? I snickered when evil Minister Jungโs face twitched at the mention of Kyun Woo. Those nasty yangban girls to ratted out poor Mal Geum, Da Yeon doesnโt want anyone else to be happily in love when she isnโt. Now Da Yeon is using Kyun Hee to spread rumors about the princess. In many dramas, most families would love to join with the Royal ๐ family, why are Kyun Wooโs parents so against it or afraid of it? I concur with KJT that “it was cool when Kyun Woo calmly declared that he was considering marriage to the Princess”. I think ๐ธ Hye Myung would agree to the marriage, but would the King ๐ or the Minister’s allow itโ
The King ๐ seems to have great confidence in Officer Kang. Does Officer Kang have romantic ๐ feelings towards Princess ๐ธ Hye Myung? If so, the writer missed the window of opportunity to try and develop anything. If not, then Officer Kang is most likely worried about her personal safety.
It was surprising when Choon Poong showed up with a โGhost ๐ป๐ญ Mask” until we saw that the masks were widely available. I consider the Scarlet ๐ธ Pimpernel-ish character to be a contender for being “Ghost ๐ป๐ญ Mask”. I am curious about who Choon Poong is and who he is working with…Prince ๐ Choosung? As KJT indicated, maybe he was the crying ๐ถ baby of the printer that was murdered. I laughed my butt ๐ off when officer (Da Yeonโs would be suiter) tried to arrest Kyun Woo for possession of the ghost ๐ป๐ญ mask, but Kyun Woo turned the tables with pointing out his fellow officers soliciting bribes.
What is the meaning of the words ใ on the poster Kyun Woo remembered in his dream ๐ญ? Are his headaches a PTSD symptom? Did he have headaches 10 years ago too, is that why his family is trying to protect ๐ก him? The fact that Gyun Wooโs father wants the entire family to disappear from public life makes me think all the more that Dad may be the one who hid the deposed ๐ Queen. Little sis, Kyun Hee, is the one who needs to be removed from the evil clutches of Da Yeon, to keep the family safe. Is Dad not aware his daughter is cavorting with Evil Minister Jung’s daughter? Gyun Hee is a girl with loose ๐ lips that could sink ships.
While Kyun Woo seemed to be a target ๐ฏ this episode, I sighed ๐ฌ with relief that โGhost ๐ป๐ญ Maskโ was not aiming for our Kyun Woo! Did “Ghost ๐ป๐ญ Mask” realize Kyun Woo was protecting ๐ก him? When did the ๐ธ Princess leave her eunuch and body guard to run to Kyun Woo? I would think Byul Yi could keep up with her. Iโm so glad Officer Kang captured Wol Myung, Minister Jungโs henchman. I hope Wol Myung spills ๐ค ๐ญ his guts before his guts are spilled ๐ก.

I agree Kyun Woo’s parents are afraid of the affiliation

That’s a good question.
Little sis, Kyun Hee…is a girl with loose ๐ lips that could sink ships.
You referenced Gyun Hee but Kyun Hee is the worst offender of this show and grates on my nerves.

I studiously ignored the logic gap.
Wol Myung, Minister Jungโs henchman…spills ๐ค ๐ญ his guts before his guts are spilled ๐ก.
Given the track record of anyone going to jail, he doesn’t have long to live.

I kept thinking Tae Mi,the actress who plays Byul Yi, looked familiar. On her bio I saw she played JCW’s motorcycle ๐ riding sidekick in “Healer”.
I have also had it with Kyun Hee; she keeps trying to run her older brother’s life. Between matchmaking ๐ Kyun Woo to Da Yeon and her blatant rudeness to the ๐ธ Princess, I simply want to slap ๐ that irresponsible girl upside the head. I also have that urge to slap ๐ her mother and find an even more severe punishment for Da Yeon. The rest of the traitors just need to be executed for the mayhem they have cost and the lives lost.

JJ (Justice Jane) you couldn’t be any clearer that Kyun Hee is a complete loser of a sister. I concur completely. I’d pack her up and send her to boarding school ASAP. Wait…wrong era…
I do agree Team Evil – Minister Jang, Dae Yeon, the Queen, and side kicks galore, need to be punished to a sufficient degree to satisfy JJ!
