My Thoughts — My Sassy Girl — Episode 14
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: Kyun Wol recalls more of his involvement as a young boy. He heard the Queen was having an affair. He wrote a scathing note and posted it. Evil Minister Jung had it copied and used it as a springboard to finish off the Queen by deposing her. When Kyon Wol found the dead pen maker, he realized the pend maker forged the letter on order of the wannabe Queen. Horrified Kyun Wol went to remove his note but it was gone. He learned the Queen had been deposed. He assumed the guilt for this. He saw the young Princess scaling the wall to look for her mother. When they massacred entourage, Kyun Woo found the Queen’s box empty. The Princess refused to return to the palace without her mother. As they shivered in a shelter, Kyun Woo told the Princess he’d look for a nearby house. When he spied one, he tripped and fell down the hell. He was knocked out and amnesia of the past year was the result.
Present day Kyun Wol remembers everything and assumes his actions lead to the Queen being deposed. He tells his father he remembers everything and bears the responsibility for writing the note that went viral. His sister overhears and tells Evil Minister Jung’s daughter who in turn tells Evil Minister Jung. Kyun Wol realizes this will shatter his relationship with the Princess when she learns of it. He avoids her, then decides to go on a farewell date but the Princess doesn’t know this is their last day together. Evil Minister’s daughter tells the Princess that Kyun Wol was the catalyst behind her mother being deposed. The Princess demands that Kyun Wol deny the ludicrous claim. He can’t. The Princess is stunned, hurt, and sad.
My Thoughts
Kyun Woo (Joo Won) remembered everything and assumed the guilt for the Queen being deposed. I wanted to smack Kyun Woo. Dude, your note was used by Evil Minister Jung, he is the reason the Queen was deposed. Evil Minister Jung had been working against the Queen setting the stage. Kyun Woo’s note provided more ammunition. I was surprised adult Kyun Woo didn’t see that his actions, while not helpful, were only a blip in the machinations to depose the Queen. I was surprised that Kyun Woo’s father didn’t put his actions in perspective.
Princess Hye Myung (Oh Yeon Seo) had several blows this episode. Kyun Woo pulled away from her. Kyun Woo’s mother told her not bother her son again. She had a wonderful date with Kyun Woo not knowing that he planned the date to give her happy memories before blindsided her and left her forever. Tacky move Kyun Woo! I know this is a standard kdrama breakup move, but I dislike it. And Kyun Woo ordered 1 copy of the artist’s drawing of them and took it for himself! My question is simple – why doesn’t the Princess remember Kyun Woo helping her on the night her mother was deposed?
New writer Yoon Hyo Je delivered an episode that revealed all of Kyun Woo’s past memories. It is faulty logic to let Kyon Woo assume that much guilt. Why doesn’t the Princess remember their shared past?
Other Thoughts:
* My favorite young Prince Wonja wrote a charming letter to Kyun Woo. He approves of Kyun Woo’s interest in his sister.
* Evil Minister Jung elected to blackmail Kyun Woo’s father in to agreeing to marriage. Kyun Woo’s father declined. I would have liked to see that scene.
* The Queen was more than willing to poison Wol Myung (at Evil Minister Jung’s suggestion) to save her own skin. Wol Myung, you loved the wrong woman. When the Queen said she’d pay for the action in hell, I hoped she did.
* Could Kyun Woo’s sister be more of a blabbermouth? She and her mother have no idea what kind of person Dae Young really is.

Despite painful 😖 memories, Kyun Woo having his memory back is a good thing; now he can work on reconciling his past actions. OMO, Kyun Woo’s words were used for the flyer 📃 that led to deposing the 👑 Queen. Looks like our OTP will break up; Kyun Woo will either have a bout of noble idiocy, 👸 Hye Myung will be furious or both. The casting of the younger Kyun Woo and Hye Myung were very good; there is a strong physical resemblance to the adult actors. I can’t blame Kyun Woo’s dad, Minister Kyun, for doing his best to protect his son and cover-up the past.
I am incredulous 😦 at the callous treatment Kyun Woo’s mother and sister gave the 👸 Princess when she came to visit Kyun Woo. What happened to the graciousness of noblewomen or even the fear of offending the Royal 👑 family⁉ When Kyun Hee overhead 👂 Kyun Woo and his dad talking about the poster 📃, I 😒 knew Kyun Hee was going to blab 🚫🤐 to Da Yeon, who tried to use the 4⃣1⃣1⃣ to snag Kyun Woo. ✳CRINGING✳ I was glad to see Minister Kyun was not going to make any deals with Evil Minister Jung – Dad is smart enough to steer clear of the Evil Minister – too bad Dad didn’t keep Kyun Hee from associating with Da Yeon.
I 💗 how Choon Poong tried to cheer up the 👸 Princess; he is a very enjoyable, colorful 🌈 character who adds depth to the story. Choon Poong is way too old to be the baby 🚼 from the print shop, if the baby survived, it would be around Prince 👑 Won Ja’s age. Speaking of Prince 👑 Won Ja, isn’t he just the most adorable guileless prince? Prince 👑 Won Ja’s letter yo Kyun Woo was charming.
Wol Myung knew that the Evil queen poisoned ☠ his food—did he eat it? How stupid is the Evil queen to personally deliver the poisoned ☠ food to Wol Myung; it will get her caught – oh well, the Evil queen being busted isn’t necessarily a bad thing! Holy smokes 💨, did the 👑 King recognized the Evil queen’s handwriting ✍ on the note that ordered the forged documents that deposed Hye Myung’s 👑 mom?
Color 🖍 me 🎊surprised🎉 that Kyun Woo walked away on his own after his confession to the King 👑 about writing ✍ the poster that supposedly instigated the 👑 Queen’s deposing. Of course we KNOW Kyun Woo didn’t really instigate deposing the 👑 Queen, that was Minister Jung’s machination. The Evil Minister took advantage of the anonymous (although we know it was young Kyun Woo’s) writing ✍ based on a false impression of the situation. I suppose the 👑 King took into consideration that he was a young boy who had a misunderstanding that he couldn’t correct his mistake due to his amnesia. 👸 Hye Myung aside, Kyun Woo was already tortured about what he did. The youthful Kyun Woo’s actions may have aided Evil Minister Jung, but the evil minister would have found a way to depose the 👑 Queen regardless of Kyun Woo. Leave it to Da Yeon to vindictively divulge the news to Princess 👸 Hye Myung in efforts to break them apart. I’m sure Da Yeon thinks she can end up with Kyun Woo, but she is sadly mistaken, like father like son, neither one of the Kyun men are interested in getting figuratively or literally into 🛏 bed with the Jungs. ✳SHUDDERS✳
I despise the “Let’s have a lovely 💕 date before I breakup with you” concept. It smacks of dishonesty and leaves me with a bitter 😛 taste in my mouth, not the sweet 🍭 memories that were intended.
Will Kyun Woo be able to right his wrong in Hye Myung’s eyes 👁👁? Is it possible for Kyun Woo to find the deposed 👑 Queen? Would the 👑 King be willing to reinstate the deposed 👁 Queen? More importantly, would the deposed 👑 Queen even want to be reinstated as Queen, I’m not sure I would want to go back to the man who wouldn’t believe me in the past. Reuniting with her children 👩👩👧👧 may be enough. It’s not looking 👀 good for our OTP just now.

I felt terrible for young Kyun Woo when he realized what happened. Unfortunately he incorrectly bore the burden for the Queen’s deposition when it Evil Minister Jung was the mastermind.
I can’t blame Kyun Woo’s dad, Minister Kyun, for doing his best to protect his son and cover-up the past.
Why didn’t he point out that Kyun Woo’s writing was used by Evil Minister Jung and tell Kyun Woo his writing wasn’t the cause of the deposition that had been plotted for a long time?
I am incredulous 😦 at the callous treatment Kyun Woo’s mother and sister gave the 👸 Princess when she came to visit Kyun Woo
They were unforgivably rude.

Choon Poong and Prince Wonja are my favorite supporting characters.

Good question

Thank goodness. At least Evil Minister Jung realizes the Kyun men are a lost cause.
Is it possible for Kyun Woo to find the deposed 👑 Queen?
That could be the key. Can Choon Poong help?

I concur that Minister Kyun should have comforted Kyun Woo about his youthful writings ✍; Dad should be aware Minister Jung is the mastermind after the failed blackmail 💌 attempt. Maybe Dad decided to use Kyun Woo’s guilt to get his son the heck 🏃 out of Dodge‼.
I wholeheartedly ❤ concur about Choon Poong and Wan Ja being the favorite supporting characters. Hopefully Choon (Scarlet 🌸 Pimpernel) Poong can help set things right in regards to the deposed 👑 Queen.
