This recap of the Netflix K-drama series Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) season 3, episode 9 contains spoilers.

Read the recap of the previous episode.

Bringing ghosts into Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) was one of the most absurd decisions by the writers. When I start to enjoy this series again, it does something silly to annoy me. Anyway, let’s recap episode 9.

Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) season 3, episode 9 recap

Episode 9 opens with Pi-young making a morning coffee for Dong-ma, who stayed the night. Dong-ma renews his intentions to marry, but Pi-young wants to tell her daughter first. A few days make a difference — the character seems to be seriously considering marriage with Dong-ma. Meanwhile, Seo Ban meets his father. The father tells him to marry the woman he wants, but he wants him to let go of his family grudge for the sake of his brother. He also wants to meet Si-eun. There’s almost a chance that Seo Ban may get approval after many awkward conversations with his father.

Dong-ma reveals to Seo Ban that he ended it with Ga-bin so he could be with Pi-young. The brothers debate their futures and whether their father will be happy. This is undoubtedly a complex family, and it’s intriguing where this may end.

Park Hae-ryun learns that Si-eun is in a relationship with Seo Ban after Yu-sin tells him. He decides to take matters into his own hands. He heads to Si-eun’s apartment and confronts his ex-wife and family about Seo Ban. Si-eun defends the family and Seo Ban. Park Hae-ryun argues that he’s still the father of his children, leaving them stunned. This story does not feel over, but it doesn’t stop Si-eun from picking her wedding dress.

Seo Ban reveals to Si-eun that his brother Dong-ma wants to marry Pi-young so she will be his sister-in-law. Si-eun is surprised by this revelation. When Hye-ryung finds out, she feels like she is being pranked by both women, with Seo Ban and Dong-ma snapped up. She starts questioning her value as a woman. This is a sad moment for the character. She’s devaluing her worth due to being single. A perspective shift is needed for this character.

The ending

The episode ends with the brothers doing their best to impress families and a new spiritual possession.

Pi-young brings up her potential marriage to her daughter Ji-a, and she reacts emotionally. Pi-young wants her daughter to give Dong-ma a chance and mentions that it’s Seo Ban’s brothers. And so, Pi-young and her daughter meet Dong-ma. He’s very welcoming and keen to impress. Ji-a is impressed by Dong-ma’s house and slowly warms to him.

Meanwhile, Seo Ban receives a phone call from his father. The father reveals he’s still unsure about his upcoming marriage as he was always sure he’d give him grandchildren. And then, the father meets Si-eun and her family for a meal. The father is respectful and wants the family to act normal in front of him,

It ends with Hye-ryung visiting Sa-hyeon’s baby, and once again, she sees the spirit of Song Won, leaving her shocked. Song Won possesses her. Episode 9 looked like a standard chapter until that strange, irritating ending.

Additional points

  • Ji-a finds her grandmother Dong-mi after she has cut her hair with scissors, and she’s mortified. Yu-sin disagrees with what Dong-mi has done, but she argues her hair is more straightforward now.
  • Ga-bin asks Sa-hyeon’s family for advice on men. She also offers the newborn baby gifts.
