[Drama Recap] She Was Pretty: Episode 5

On the fifth episode of the MBC drama "She Was Pretty", Hye-jin tries to get into Sung-joon’s room to get her phone. After she finds it, she doesn’t notice that Sung-joon is starting to wake up. He asks what she’s doing. Hye-jin speaks out some random words and tries to clean up the mess she made of the puzzle.When she leaves, she accidentally wears one of his shoes.

Ha-ri meets Sung-joon at the gym and he drives her home. During the car ride Sung-joon gets excited when a song he likes comes on the radio. He sings along in a simultaneously hilarious and adorable manner that makes Ha-ri laugh.

At home Hye-jin asks about Ha-ri’s long workout took tonight, and Ha-ri is confused.

Sung-joon meets Hye-jin in the same elevator again and they give each other strange glares but Sung-joon notices a bandage on Hye-jin’s hand and he starts to ask about the glass thing but then then elevator opens.

Shin-hyukknows about Hye-jin's secret to at least one person. Shin-hyuk assumes she’s keeping the secret because of the boss/employee imbalance, but she says she’s not the popular, smart, beautiful girl Sung-joon remembers anymore.

When she tells him she used to be pretty, Shin-hyuk says in a quiet voice, “You still are, now.”

She tells Shin-hyuk that from now on he can think of her as his little sister, and she’ll treat him as an oppa.

Sung-joon happens to drive past just as Hye-jin is feeding Shin-hyuk some veggie wrap, and watches them for a long moment with a strange expression. He drives away looking unsettled, while Shin-hyuk asks what Hye-jin will do if Sung-joon recognizes her. She tells him that won’t happen, because Sung-joon thinks his first love is someone else.

At the gym Ha-ri watches the door, hoping that Sung-joon will show up but instead she meets Shin-hyuk.

On her bus heading home, Hye-jin sees Sung-joon collapse in the middle of the street. He has difficulty breathing when he saw a car accident due to the rain. Hye-jin sees the nearby accident and knows exactly what’s happening. She takes off her hoodie and holds it over both of them, telling Sung-joon, "Don't look there. Nothing happened. Nothing will happen". She soothingly repeats that it will be okay, and Sung-joon finally turns his face to her.

Sung-joon kneels in the street staring at Hye-jin. He remembers this exact situation when they were children, when Hye-jin had promised to be his umbrella from now on.

Seong-joon recalled the Hye-jin who had done the same thing in the past and called her by her name.

He reaches up to caress her face, whispering, “Hye-jin-ah…” and Hye-jin’s eyes widen.

Neither Sung-joon nor Hye-jin notices the truck barreling down on them.
