Last Scandal of My Life



He's a famous celebrity. She's a housekeeper who doesn't take his crap. Together, they were... highschool sweethearts? Oh shit!

Have you ever met your old flame? Did your reunion involve brawling with him in public, then wondering how you ever could've loved such a jackass? It's like that.









Once upon a time, Sun Hee and Jae Bin were highschool sweethearts. Twenty years later, she's an overworked housewife with a douchey, cheating, unappreciative husband, and he's a glitzy Korean superstar with more money than sense.





You see where this is going.





She needs money; he needs a housekeeper. It works because she's married (and uninterested) and he's such a ~*flawless god*~ that he would never deign to look at Ugly Betty...





IT'S LIKE HER FACE IS MADE OF ROADKILL EWWWWWW... oh, wait.



The "infidelity" is also laughable because her husband is a sleazy horrid obnoxious slimeball whose mere existence almost made my face erupt in flames. (HATEHATEHATEHATE DIE IN A FUCKING FIRE YOU WORTHLESS WORM YOU DESERVE TO BE STABBED IN THE FACE AND LEFT FOR THE BUZZARDS AUGHHHHH.)

















You can never escape your first love. Even if that means she's a pushy housewife who refuses to treat you like a bigshot (Sun Hee) and he's an irritating overgrown child who drives you absolutely batty (Jae Bin).







THIS MAN IS PUSHING 40. It might be hard to remember when he's booty dancing alone in his room to "Brother Louie."



Or when he loses his clothes for no reason.



That happens a lot.









Being mentally twelve, his idea of affection is yanking her pigtails and then wondering why she isn't in love with him. He blusters and orders her around but it's only a cover for his DORKY FEELINGS. "Do my laundry or you're fired!" "Accept my shy smiles and expensive gifts or you're fired!"



"Happy divorce day! I bought you a cake!" The Korean Don Juan.









Damn that inconvenient doki-doki, if she'd just stop being so gorgeous and easy to tease, and if he'd stop being so cute and oddly thoughtful, and if they didn't fit together so well...



Hmmmmmmmmmm.











CUTE CUTE CUTE SO DARLING AND ADORABLE AND UTTERLY PERFECT. This is a date set to oldies music. And later he buys them school uniforms and packed lunches to pretend they're nineteen again. I'm not even their age (my nostalgia blast would be Pokemon and rolling backpacks) and I was melted into goo.







THEY'RE SO PERFECT I WANT TO TRAP THEM IN MY HANDS LIKE FIREFLIES.





Even the kids are OTP. With this boy's amazing face:







It's so versatile!









Om nom? Om nom nom!



If you're still unconvinced, check out this (SPOILERY MOMENT!) from the finale. Their love affair was twenty years in the making but WORTH THE WAIT.
