After the class, Ga Eul goes up to Eunjae and asks her how she broke up with her first love (Yi Jung). We take a little break from the Junpyo-Jandi situation by going to Ga Eul and Eunjae at their pottery lesson. She asks Mummy not to chase Jandi out, and asks for another favour from Mummy. Jaekyung’s determination leads her to make a special request from Mummy Junpyo. I can’t say I hate her, even though I ship Junpyo-Jandi to death. She was just determined, which makes it even more difficult. Jandi barely gets a say in the entire conversation, but it’s just hard to hate Jaekyung, even now, because she doesn’t seem fake, and she was angry or scathing towards Jandi. She then reaffirms that she won’t let go of Junpyo, that she’ll work even harder at their relationship. She understands that it was hard for Jandi to tell her about things like this (working in Junpyo’s), but she wished that Jandi would’ve talked to her first. Jaekyung then has a little talk with Jandi. Halmo goes on to say that she owes Junpyo’s family too much, so she wants to nurture Junpyo to be a good person, that’s her final mission in her life. But all that has changed, and she thinks it’s becaue of Jandi. Turns out Halmo has been very concerned about Junpyo’s behaviour even when she wasn’t around, because as he grew older he’s become more violent and bad-tempered. And it’s not just because of Junhee either. Jandi thanks Halmo for helping her, but Halmo said that she didn’t do it for her. Halmo says that Jandi still has a lot to learn, if she just lets Jandi go, Jandi will ruin Halmo’s name, since Jandi’s her disciple. And apparently firing maids is not within Mummy’s juridistion lol. Mummy tries to oust Jandi, but Halmo says it’s not up to Mummy whether to keep or fire Jandi, it’s Halmo’s decision. Halmo comes from a whole line of people who served Junpyo’s family, and she knows the rules and how the house is to be run, so everyone, even Mummy Junpyo has to listen to her. It’s a bit far-fetched in the whole Hana Yori Dango anime sense, but it’s not completely baseless. Now, it sounds like there’s a whole pecking order/ranking system thingy in the family, but one thing I can say for sure: in most countries in Asia, age and experience counts for a lot, especially in big families, hierarchy isn’t only determined by blood ties. (I would too.) She reminds Mummy that the previous President (either Junpyo’s dad or grandfather, I suppose) left her in charge, that her position in the family remains. It does sound kind of sexist/degrading, but I have a feeling it’s not because Halmo thinks lowly of women, she probably just thinks lowly of Mummy Junpyo. Then she goes, oh right, I’m not used to calling you President Kang at all. Mummy Junpyo is taken aback by Halmo’s appearance too (she probably thought Halmo was dead too lol), and Halmo just looked at her smugly, and she called her Madam as opposed to President Kang (which she’s now known as). Mummy Junpyo questions Jandi’s presence in the mansion, but Halmo dearest steps in haughtily. Jaekyung somewhat knows what’s going on, but before Jandi can explain, Mummy Junpyo sweeps into the room. And she runs into them in the most awkward possible situation too, which has Jandi lying on top of Junpyo. After their shortlived moments together in Episode 20, Jaekyung finally finds out that Jandi is working at Junpyo’s place as a maid. Happy times with Jandi and Junpyo are just so hard to come by.
