"Fated To Love You"

February 14, 2105

"A young woman walks barefoot among lush vegetation, and then the camera cuts to a close-up of hair products. Wait, are we watching a commercial before we get to the show? Dipping her hair in water, she works it into a lather, takes a whiff... and then reels in disgust.

The director calls cut on the ruined take, and the model (cameo by Clara) throws a fit on set, complaining about how she can't use a body double and how this "measly shampoo" could ruin her hair. Noticing the disgruntled staff, however, she gives into another take and has her stylist bring in her luxury foreign-import shampoo.

Just then, someone snaps their fingers and a voice calls out, "Hold it." A man in an expensive-looking suit saunters into the set, handing off his swanky accessories to the bewildered crew, and moves the model off-camera.

His stare remains unwavering as he peels off his jacket and throws it at the staff, then scoops up some water and pours it over his head. After working the shampoo into his hair, he dunks his head into the water before flipping his hair backwards, showering the camera with soapy water droplets. This. Is. Awesome.

But he's just getting started-he rips the front of his shirt and exposes his chiseled abs, all the while rattling off lines at the camera. Picking up the "measly shampoo," he bursts into hearty laughter, then tops off his performance with a moan. "Ah, refreshing." Now this is what I call a shampoo commercial. *fans self*

After that perfect take, the director wonders who their impromptu model is. He's none other than our hero, LEE GUNzz (Jang Hyuk), who introduces himself as the CEO of Jangin Chemicals, aka the company that produces this "measly shampoo," which is, in fact, their best product.

It's clear that Gun takes great pride in his company's products and how they're advertised to their potential customers, and he tells his right-hand man, MANAGER TAK (Choi Dae-chul) to rescind the model's CF endorsement deal.

Mention of that effectively has her singing a different tune, as she coquettishly asks if there's a way to smooth things over, say, over dinner. He declines-he has no need for an expensive diva who doesn't value authenticity. Ooh, burn.

It's kind of great how Gun struts out of there like a boss, and now he can finally turn his attention to the source of Manager Tak's panic: Grandma's been called into an urgent meeting by the Jeonju Lee clan elders.

And that's where we meet Gun's grandmother, WANG BOK-SOON (Park Won-sook), who asks for the clan elders' patience, promising to marry off her grandson within the year. But the restless elders are fed up with hearing those same words year after year, and demand a written guarantee this time.

(A little context: Gun belongs to the Jeonju Lee clan, whose notable descendants include King Taejo, who founded the Joseon Dynasty. These clan meetings are typically reserved for males, where discussion topics can touch upon lineage, land, and so on.)

There's a lot of pressure on Gun to get married and produce a male successor-as the only male descendant in the past nine generations, there's also the unlucky notion that the males in his family line have never lived past their thirties. Basically, time's a-tickin'. Before Grandma can speak to her grandson's defense any further, Gun appears himself, in dry clothes and perfectly-coiffed hair.
