Bad Love – Episode 12
Episode 12 opens with this scene: Kang Yong-gi (Kwon Sang-woo) is jogging in the city early in the morning. He stops on a hill overlooking Seoul and wishes aloud that Na In-jung (Lee Yo-won) slept well last night.
Yong-gi gets some much needed exercise and recalls what happened in the previous episode
In-jung and Yong-gi made a deal. If Yong-gi would delay the demolition of the House of Hope until spring, In-jung will move to Seoul, work for him, and do as he says until then. At least the occupants will have time to find a new place by then.
In-jung did not get knocked down by the crane after all.Instead, they made a pact. Demolition to be postponed until spring.
In exchange, In-jung becomes Yong-gi’s slave and moves
to Seoul to be close to him.
Samchun (Mr Hwang) and Chansuk (samchun’s girlfriend) has conveniently moved to Seoul as well, and In-jung is now living with them.
Samchun, Chansuk & In-jung relocates to Seoul – all because of Yong-gi. In-jung skips breakfast in order
not to be late on her first day at work.
Yong-gi makes In-jung his secretary. She will be in charge of his schedule. The first thing she has to do is bring him some water. [At this point, Liz says…”I want to be Yong-gi’s secretary. I can do the job. I want! I want!]
Daehan Construction is in a bit of a fix. Because of the delay in demolition and the resort project, their partner has withdrawn funding the project.
Lee Su-hwan (Kim Sung-su), who is now out of Daehan Construction, meets with Assemblyman Kim. The latter is really cross with Yong-gi and uses his power to ensure that Yong-gi’s project will not be funded by any bank.
Assemblyman Kim and Lee Su-hwan are pals.Assemblyman makes it impossible for Yong-gi to get funds
for his project unless Yong-gi reinstalls
Su-hwan as CEO of Daehan Construction.
Christian: Yong-gi, the company is in a lot of trouble. All funding has been cut off for the Samcheok project.
There’s a conspiracy. We are done for. We are in deep sh*t!
We need Su-hwan back.
Su-hwan and his best friend (former driver) meet up to talk. Mr Yun confessed to Su-hwan about his affair with Joo-ran. Su-hwan really does not care about that at all, and goes on to tell Mr Yun that he still has feelings for In-jung. She is the only person he would sacrifice for. He is willing to give up anything – just to get her love and affection again.
While his former driver Mr Yun envies Su-hwan for always having Joo-ran’s love, Su-hwan confesses that
he is still pining for Na In-jung.
Mr Yun then asks Su-hwan “What are you going to do about that? At least Yong-gi hangs on to her and makes sure she is by his side – she is working for him. But what are you going to do?” Su-hwan says, “I will get her back.” Su-hwan is all worked up. He psyche’s himself up with all the talk to get In-jung back. Since he has divorced, he is a “free man”. Nothing can stop him from getting the woman he loves now. He is willing to risk all.
At the office, In-jung overhears the trouble Yong-gi and Daehan Construction is in. Yong-gi needs Su-hwan in order to save the company.
In-jung calls Su-hwan on his mobile.Su-hwan answers the call he has been waiting for his entire life.
He probably set a special ring tone for her.
In-jung swallows her pride and calls Su-hwan on his mobile phone. Su-hwan appears nonchalant, but cannot totally hide his excitement. He answers the call anxiously. In-jung wants to meet Su-hwan to talk and ask him for a favour.
Control macho: Su-hwan is nervous as he observeshis ex-lover (whom he still has the hots for) approaching.
His heart is beating doubly fast, his palms are
sweaty and he desperately tries to look handsome.
Su-hwan is disappointed that In-jung wanted to meet to askhim to return to Daehan Construction to help Yong-gi as a
favour. Su-hwan’s hopes shatter and is probably thinking…darn,
she wants to meet me for this?
Su-hwan agrees to In-jung’s request because he reasons that he owes her. Plus he is hoping that all debts will be canceled between her and him so that he might have a second chance with her again.
In the meantime, Yong-gi gets good advice from his late father’s former driver – Mr Guardian Angel. Yong-gi accepts the advice graciously and immediately seeks Su-hwan at his hotel.
Mr Guardian Angel advices Yong-gi: In the business world, you need to sometimes swallow your pride and work
with people you don’t like.
Su-hwan smugly says, “Oh yes…i was just with
In-jung and she told me about this. I will help
you because she asked me to. Unlike you, i worked my
way up so i actually know how to manage a company.”
Yong-gi is furious and intercepts In-jung on her way home and scolds her for meeting up with Su-hwan and interfering. They are at each others’ throats, but it’s so obvious that both love each other.
In-jung and Yong-gi exchange a very heateddiscussion on a cold wintry night.
[Orchid says: Stop with the fighting and kiss already!]
Yong-gi yells out at In-jung: “Don’t you dare meet withLee Su-hwan again. And don’t you raise your voice at
me again.” Then he drives off in his Beemer.
Su-hwan bumps into Ms Lee Sin-yeong the irritating looking lady who looks like Yong-gi’s deceased ex-girlfriend Kim Jo-ann. Ms Lee only wants to make money no matter what the cost. Su-hwan notices her suicide scar on her wrist and starts to scheme. He plans to use this woman to trap Yong-gi – let him think she is actually Kim Jo-ann.
Adulterer now turns into an evil scheming man to get awoman who not only does not love him, but hates him.
Ms Lee attempted suicide because she needed $$$. Su-hwan asks her to lie about her scar to trap Yong-gi
into thinking she is actually Kim Jo-ann.
Su-hwan executes his plan by showing Ms Lee old videos of Yong-gi and Kim Jo-ann. He also introduces Ms Lee to Jo-ann’s mother and encourages them to spend time together. Kim Jo-ann’s mother is shocked to see the uncanny resemblance of this woman with her late daughter.

Low-down schemer says: “Watch and learn –be that woman! Muahahahahaha”
One night, In-jung leaves the office suffering from a stomach ache. She refuses Yong-gi’s help, but after taking a few more steps, bents over in pain. Lo and behold, Ms Lee appears out of nowhere to help her.
Introducing Ms Lee: She comes to help In-jung.
Yong-gi is shocked to lay eyes on a woman who looks sosimilar to Kim Jo-ann. Schemer Su-hwan in the background
leaning against his car is pleased that his plan is going underway.
P.S: We are liking the Bad Love Soundtrack very much. Anyone else out there thinks the songs are nice?

Orchid,
Yeah, i rushed home only to catch the new year variety program.
Not sure if they skipped one ep in korea too, it would appear so since seolla is quite a biggie. Full House also skipped one ep last wednesday nite.
Btw does anyone know why they show the “premiere” eps of cruel love at the super ungodly hr of 3 AM ? Is it meant for the folks in the north america /europe since KBS world is shown worldwide?
alamak! It’s Monday night and there’s no Bad Love. Some New Year Special is on instead – Soda (사이다). * shucks *
I wonder…in Korea did they skip one week due to new year programs too. Anyone know?
Yay,
yep i can tell ; )
@fraulein
^^ haha you can tell i’m not a very big fan.
LOL @ the “butt faced mum” comment
Thanks again for the excellent recap!
You can just tell that Jo-ann look alike is going to be a pest.
I know Su-hwan is evil now but I still feel bad for him…
I blame everything to Ju-ran and her buttfaced mom..
Yong-gi, however, needs to just overcome all the obstacles and MAYBE..just maybe.. In-jung might get her brain cells back.
oh yeah…Joo-ran wants to go work at Daehan Construction. Forgot to add that in. Too many things happening.
It’s quite funny, now everyone wants to go and work in the company.
I love the OST too ; ) I am this close to snapping it up.
* Sigh *.. Yong-gi – intent on making In-jung miserable but still loves her
I have quite the tolerance for weak plots but two unrelated people who look like twins ? Even the woman who gave birth to Joanne didn’t know ?? Or did she give birth to twins and had one taken away without her knowledge ?
I reckon Yong-gi and Mr Guardian Angel have mutual respect for each other. Yong-gi treats him with respect and once told him to scrap hierarchy, which he doesn’t seem to give two hoots about. The latter seems to admire Yong-gi’s guts and devil may care attitude.
Injung – stomach pains again ? Worrying…. Even though I find her downright irritating for creating the needless (as someone said earlier) and emotional barriers between herself and Yong-gi. They could have been so happy together.
After Ju-ran asked Yong-gi for a job at Daehan, I found myself wondering, will all 5 characters end up working there? That would be so weird, not to mention awkward. Suh-wan looks like he’s ready to hire Sin-yeong. And sang-woo oppa may just give his bored sister a job there. Hell will break loose…..in the penultimate showdown.
I know this has been said before but I really really dislike the Sin-yeong character!
Hmm, another long comment
during the 1st half of the episode,
i really felt sorry for Su-hwan, seriously. but after the evil plot and all, i felt like having a tomato fight with him. (not stones, cos that would be too hard for KSS. lol, im lame. xD)
sheesh, i wonder what would Yong-Gi think about Jo-anne look a like.. (I still can’t remember the real name).
another 8 episodes to gooo!
as for now, im guessing that Su-hwan will die later on.
how about a Su-Hwan+In-Jung will die ending? NOOOO! ANIO! >_<
Although KSW is 3cm more shorter than KSS i really like KSW oppa. He is so hawt.
Oh so the exciting! It’s so blatantly manipulative…but it’s so bad, it’s all gooood! *rubs hands in glee*
I still like looking at Lee Su-hwan because Oppa’s handsome. Less constipated look, and more control macho looks. yeah, that outta do it.
Also, I’d like to slap In-jung. Thank you.
while liz trying to be yongi’s secretary, i’m trying to kill suhwan thru my psychic ability..darn..lowlife!!!
*clutches heart* me.lo.dra.ma. i enjoy reading your “bad love” summaries, orchid.
Orchid..thanks so much for the post. I’ve been waiting for it coz i missed it last nite 🙁 and I like the part where you wrote “He probably set a special ringtone for her” hehehe
Liz… I want to be his secretary too! 😀
Oh my…what is Suhwan trying to do..am so disappointed with him…
“They are at each others’ throats, but it’s so obvious that both love each other.” – I really hope that they’ll be together no matter what happens.
Can’t wait for the next episode 😀
