Best K-Drama Moments: July Week #1 - The Time We Were Not in Love, Warm and Cozy, Mask, I Remember You, Oh My Ghost + High Society

The Time We Were Not in Love
Love is sneaky.

During another crisis with her broken heart, Won dashes to be with Ha Na, and he cheers her up with the best way he knows how - with beer. In her hotel room, the two twig lots of brew, play games, get very loud, and trash the place in between some serious, heart-fluttering talks. The next morning, Won opens his eyes to find his best friend next to him, asleep on his arm. His mild surprise is quickly substituted with awe, as his eyes gently sweep over her lovely face. While he lightly brushes her hair back, his lips curl up in a smile. Won snaps out of the moment, though, when Ha Na begins to stir awake.


Warm and Cozy
Just staying in.

Wanting a proper date, Jung Joo dolls up for her man. What does she have in mind? How about seeing a movie, eating out, or just going for a drive? Nope, Geon Woo doesn't want to do any of those. Jung Joo frets that their relationship might be lacking spark and maybe he's too comfortable with just the way things are. On the contrary, he's been uncomfortable around her the entire time. He's been nervously waiting for her to show up, feeling very uncomfortable. Hearing this, Jung Joo perks up, thinking they'll be going out. However, Geon Woo's idea of a night with Jung Joo is better. He pulls her on his lap and kisses her. He repeats that he doesn't want to do anything, and Jung Joo agrees. When she tells him she loves him, they kiss some more, their arms pulling each other closer in an embrace.


Mask
The musical couple.

I love this scene because it exemplifies how sweet Min Woo has become to his wife and that Ji Sook just might be able to win the games at the end. Nothing couple have stopped me from smiling when Min Woo throws out all embarrassment and serenades his wife with a birthday song, getting all their guests to join in. What has me really proud is when a suspicious Mi Yeon is unable to see Ji Sook fail when she's asked to display Eun Ha's piano skills. No one would expect a shop-girl with loan sharks on her tail to be maestro, so when she confidently walks to the piano and plays a song beautifully, I've got to holler for her.


I Remember You
You know this how?

Lee Hyun catches Ji An, who knows the location of his childhood home, and he tells her to figure out why she's aware of this. Backed up against a wall by Hyun and with nowhere to go, she scrambles for answers, but can only tell him she's a fan. He's puzzled over why a fan would know an address he told no one, and she responds that as a saesang fan (dedicated fan), information like this is too easy to find out. He then realizes that a saesang fan is the equivalent of a stalker; before he can make a big deal of it, she admits to moving on from him, as she's now a fan of EXO (popular K-Pop group).


Oh My Ghost
She remembers her family.

Soon Ae is a fun, tough-talking ghost with memory loss. However, one thing she does remember is that she died a virgin, and she's going everything she can in the three-year window she has to finally experience sex. This moment comes after she grudgingly does a good deed. She takes a drunk to the police station, and when his father comes to get him, it triggers her memory. She remembers they are her family. The drunken boy is her younger brother and the main is her grieving father.


High Society
I'll do it for you.

Chang Soo has brought Ji Yi to one of his vacation havens, and Joon Gi and Yoon Ha have also joined them. Our couples are all in for lots of flirty fun and lovey-dovey cuddles and kisses during their getaway. However, a fight between the boys immediately puts the kibosh on the happy times. Chang Soo and Ji Yi have a silent ride back home, but our sweet chaebol heir won't let her go upset, and so, they talk. Seeing how hurt Chang Soo was after the scuffle, Ji Yi expresses her concern. Her reaction touches Chang Soo, and he hugs her, assuring her that he won't fight again.
