Time for the meddlesome second lead to take to the stage as Yeon-ah increases the "evil" factor 150%. There is some ridiculously cute Joon-ho and Soon-shin, but not enough to curve my rage at the meddling.

AGB Nielsen Nationwide had this episode coming in at 23.7%.

"Lee Soon-sin is the Best" is directed Yoon Seong-sik by and written by Jeong Yoo-kyeong and features Lee Ji-eun, Cho Jung-seok, Go Doo-shim and Lee Mi-sook.

Episode 37 recap

Yeon-ah has directed Soon-shin and Co. to the wrong location. When they finally arrive at the correct location, Soon-shin embarrassingly interrupts filming. Yeon-ah looks pleased as pie as Soon-shin gets a good talking to from the director who is ready to find a new actress. She plays good unni and asks the director to be lenient, promising to help Soon-shin.

Honey, she don't need no more of your kind of help.

In-sung asks Yeon-ah about her misinformation and she gets offended that he's blaming her. She lies that she told her manager to call In-sung and inform him of the change. Then she scolds In-sung for not checking himself.

I hate that she's right! And I hate even more that she fed him bad information in the first place.

The hoity-toity older actress on set starts scolding Soon-shin for using her mother's connections to behave unprofessionally...which is totally unfair. Totally. Yeon-ah fake pretends to be nice again and Soon-shin offers In-sung a comforting smile. Aw, they're finally on the same team.

Yoo-shin is actually being cute remembering how cool her fiance Chan-woo was at the family meeting. This is why I love Yoo In-nah. No one does cute like her! Then she gets a call from Chan-woo and answers with a giddy smile, "Hubby?" Her man comes to get her and she concocts an evil plan: let's eat chicken with the in-laws.

Bok-man is happy to see Yoo-shin; Gil-ja isn't. She immediately starts in on Yoo-shin about the living situation. However, Yoo-shin takes it in stride and then says that she's going to live with Gil-ja as she asked. Chan-woo's proposal was his idea alone and Yoo-shin wants to follow Gil-ja's wishes. Everyone is taken aback by this, but she continues. She would like to stay at her house on weekends so her family won't be lonely. She also wants to learn about running a household from her elders and thanks Gil-ja for allowing her to learn. Gil-ja is flabbergasted. Hehe. It's awesome. I wanna see how well Yoo-shin does.

Chan-woo walks her home and she says she wants to keep Gil-ja happy - she's positive she can do it. Then she thanks Chan-woo for writing the letter. And she admits she's really happy to marry him. Aw, finally! Some real affection from her. They act cute all the way home.

Gil-ja pouts and Bok-man teases her for getting what she asked for. Heh. I likes him.

Yoo-shin tells her family about the arrangements and they are genuinely happy for her and really like Chan-woo. Jung-ae talks to her picture of Chang-hoon about the wedding and tells him she hates him for leaving her. She also wishes her busy Soon-shin would call her. Aw. Now if only you didn't treat her so badly for so long.

Speaking of, Soon-shin is practicing guitar with her Pororo band-aids. She gets a call from Joon-ho and answers it with a smile on her face. He immediately starts to comfort her about being late to the shoot. Aw! What a good not-boyfriend you are! She assures him that she's a brave trooper (making a reference to her name, heh) and he is pleased.

But when In-sung comes in, Joon-ho gives him an earful and then asks for the schedule. It says that Soon-shin'll be shooting on Wan Island next week because her character is following her love. On top of that, Mi-ryeong will be the embassador to the museum on Wan Island. Oh great.

Soon-shin gets distracted by her Pororo band-aids because they're so cute! Not really...it's because Joon-ho gave them to her. Then she realizes her heart is racing and wonders what is wrong with her.

I don't get these people. The first time I was in love, I KNEW it. It's kinda hard to miss...

She reads part of her script that has her character confessing. Fancy that, it mirrors exactly how she feels. She, however, blames it on identifying too closely with her character.

Mi-ryeong meets with Joon-ho about her schedule and Hwang outs her: Soon-shin won't even look at Mi-ryeong. Ha! I love that he's amused by it. Anyway, Mi-ryeong chose to be the Wan museum's ambassador to follow Soon-shin. Pathetic.

Mi-ryeong is keeping Hwang in Seoul so she can spend quality time with Soon-shin. Ha, good luck.

Soo-jung broods over her husband's cheating and when Dong-hyuk comes home, he barely pays attention to her. She follows him to his office to hash it out. She asks him what his relationship with Mi-ryeong is and he gets very defensive. Soo-jung admits that she chased him and helped Dong-hyuk achieve his dreams. She regrets helping him because she's so lonely. Then she forbids him to see Mi-ryeong. That's not the issue, but whatever.

Later that evening, he finds her sleeping on the sofa and wakes her. He offers to go to a beach together to get fresh air - he's going to visit his father's grave. She doesn't want to go; he's being selfish again.

I'm glad he's getting some kind of punishment for his bad behavior.
