Summary
This was a good episode in parts, but the lazy writing is shocking.
This recap of the Netflix K-drama series Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) season 3, episode 11, contains spoilers.
Read the recap of the previous episode.
If this is the last season (fingers crossed), it will make sense. It does feel like the writers are finding ways to wrap things up using spirits and sudden marriages. Anyway, let’s recap episode 11.
Love (ft. Marriage and Divorce) season 3, episode 11 recap
https://youtu.be/YUgtDwWf-90
Episode 11 opens with a drunk Seo Ban heading to Si-eun’s house. The family is accommodating to him, but he also brings a range of snacks. He never does things in halves, after all. The next day, Si-eun delivers food to her ex-husband Hae-ryun for the last time and tells him the children will be staying with her. Lovely power move for Si-eun. Hae-ryun deserves it.
Sa-hyeon and Hye-ryung are giving their marriage another go. Of course, Hye-ryung has been possessed by Song Won, and she’s cast some spell on Sa-hyeon. Sa-hyeon’s parents are delighted that they are giving their romance another go. Hye-ryung tells her friends Pi-young and Si-eun that she and Sa-hyeon are giving their marriage another go and that his child is adorable. Strangely enough, the two friends do not find it weird at all. No one finds it odd. This story has been shoed in rather hastily, and I wonder if the writers decided to script around it in a crazy manner.
Dong-ma tells his father he’s getting married to Pi-young. The father has many questions about her life, age, and family. He’s mad at the age Pi-young is and that she already has children. It ensues in an argument between them. Dong-ma stands his ground, but the father tells him to think of his mother. But then tragedy strikes in their family. Dong-ma and Seo Ban’s mother has passed away. The news spreads to Pi-young and Si-eun, and they are in shock. The soon-to-be-wives head out to support their partners.
Sa-hyeon and Hye-ryung remarry rather quickly, and Ga-bin sings at their ceremony. Song-won is filled with love, living her spirit through Hye-ryung’s body, and enjoying the walk down the aisle with the man she loves. The writers have dedicated themselves to this story, which feels rather silly.
Despite the grieving in the family, Pi-young meets Dong-ma’s father. There’s a somberness in the room. He seems more accepting of their marriage. Pi-young takes care of the father, offering him healthy food and ice cream as she recognizes he’s emotionally drained. Seo Ban and Si-eun visit too, and there’s a real family spirit among them. The father wonders how they’d feel moving in. Seo Ban does not answer, but Si-eun and Pi-young confirm they are happy with it.
The ending
As the episode ends, Sa-hyeon’s mother is seen walking with a child spirit. Let’s be frank. We are sick of this series using spirits to move around plot points. This was a good episode in parts, but the lazy writing is shocking.
Additional points
- Hae-ryun helps Dong-mi take her golf kit to her car, and they decide to go somewhere for food and drink. The pair get to know each other.
- A-mi tells Pi-young’s daughter that her father misses her. She then learns that Pi-young is getting married.
