Witch's Castle episode 3 recap

So we are back to where we left off. Dan Byul is trying to turn on the stove but as she tries her past is back to haunt her. Jun Young has just finish showering and sees Dan Byul. He walks over to her and pulled her trembling hand to the stove knob and gave the knob a sharp turn. The Stove lights up and Dan Byul looks extremely shock. Dan Byul then tells him how she is really afraid that she will continue to be the way she is. Jun Young assures her that he will help her. She tells him of how she wants to get over her phobia as she wants to cook nice dishes for him every day. He embraces her and tells her that he knows that she has a scar in her heart and he will help her overcome it.

Back in the hospital with Kang Hyun we see him opening a shoe box and in them are Dan Byul’s shoes (Now we know where it went). Kang Hyun tries to recall what happened on the day of his accident but to no avail. Jumping to the next scene where we see Hee Jae waking up after the whole drunken episode. She walks up to her phone and wanted to delete Jun Young’s number. But she couldn’t bring herself to do it. She goes back to lie in her bed when suddenly she gets a call. She jumps up and hurried over thinking it was Jun Young. But to her disappointment it was Kang Hyun checking if she had finish the work he has given her. Pissed off, Hee Jae insults Kang Hyun saying “What do you get from being so loyal to the company? But of course, a hunting dog should obey its master.” With that she tells him she isn’t feeling well and hangs up on him.

Back to our couple we see Jun Young setting up a candle light room. He seems please with his handy work, he then wonders why Dan Byul is taking so long. We skip to Jun Young dad. Who is now waiting outside in the cold for Mil Lee. As Mil Lee returns home she sees him waiting outside and started smiling. She then changes her expression and walks up to him. Pretending to be concern. (She obviously like the attention she was getting.) Nagging at him about how worried she is for him. He then ask who the earlier guy was. She then started “crying” saying the guy was the only way she could try to get over him. (right…) He then tells her that he will get a divorce and that his son has gotten married. Mil Lee then pretends to be concern and says that she doesn’t want to be the one to break up a family. Asking him to go back to his family, leaving the good memories behind and how a nice guy like him won’t be able to ask his wife for a divorce. (Now we can see what she is doing here huh).  She then “apologies” for asking him to divorce but only because she didn’t want to lose him. But how she think it isn’t right and she ask for a break. Mil Lee runs off.

Only to have him chase her to her house. Here we can see her smirking. She quickly opens the door and closes it just before he reaches. Just to make it more dramatic. He yells for her to open the door. She then tells him it is hard for her too and ask him to go. He then says if she doesn’t come out he will wait outside her house until she opens the door. Mil Lee smiles after hearing what he said. (She obviously wanted him to do that.) She then receives a phone call and from the conversation she seems to have debts.

The next scene we see Jun Young’s mum sneaking into Jun young’s and Dan Byul’s house. She looks at their home and started worrying. Like why wasn’t there a lamp outside their home and it was so dark. Or why was the window so thin and things like that. We go back to Jun Young’s dad. He left Mil Lee's place and was thinking of how to solve the problem that he has.(Which is probably getting his wife to agree to a divorce) He seem to have come to a conclusion and left the food stand he was at. Jun Young’s mum has return home having her dinner. He husband has also reached home and he enters the kitchen. He sits down and tell her he needed to talk to her. She keeps interrupting him and got a bit carried away with complaining about her son’s new place. He then yells at her to listen to him.

 Jumping to the scene of Dan Byul and Jun Young in the candle light room. The two of them having a romantic moment and they jump back to Jun Young’s parents. Where his dad tells his mum he wants a divorce. Mum was obviously taken totally by surprise and didn’t know what to say at first. She then ask him why he wants a divorce and he says he wants to live another life. A life in which he chooses. Since all his children are married he is not responsible of them anymore. His duty was done. She asked him if he wanted to go back to the countryside life again. She laughs and tears the divorce papers and tells him to stop joking around. Mum was not having any of it and she walked out of the kitchen. He then quick shouts “I have another woman.” Mum stops at her tracks and turn. She ask him to repeat himself and he did. She then sighs. “Okay” she says. He was shock for a moment. Then mum continues “I will find you a house at the countryside and you can do whatever you want.” (HAHAHAHA I like how she believes her husband is not capable of doing something like that.) She then walks away saying she needs to shower.

She enters the bathroom and ask herself if her husband was lonely too after their son’s marriage. In the kitchen dad calls Mil Lee and tells her that he will give up everything for her. Even if it mean his wealth.  Telling her how much he loves her.

 They then show Mil Lee hanging up the phone and she ask if he was crazy giving up his wealth. Mil Lee gets a phone call and it is from her daughter, Hyang. Hyang wanted money because she was a model and she needed money to go shopping and if she wanted Hyang friend’s to think she was poor. Mil Lee then tells Hyang to wait a few more days. Hyang then tells Mil Lee that she wishes to leave the modelling agency she is with saying it was too tiring. Mil Lee ask “again?” Clearly this isn’t the first time. She then tells her daughter to be patient. Hyang ignores her and tells her to send her the money and quickly hangs up. Mil Lee complains about her daughter being so selfish. Mil Lee then takes out her bank book and looks at it. There isn’t much money left. She then says to herself “There is only one way left.”

Yoo Sung was planning to leave to go aboard but was caught by Grandma Chun. She was so angry that she said she couldn’t be bother anymore. Sang Gook then ask Yoo Sung into his study room for a chat. Yoo Sung then tells Sang Gook he can’t stand staying at home because every time he sees Grandma Chun she would nag about working in the company which he doesn’t want to. Sang Gook then made a deal with Yoo Sung that if he settle down and not go abroad anymore. Sang Gook will invest in his movie and he will talk to Grandma Chun about nagging. So they had a deal.

Ho Duk (Jun Young’s mum) came out of the bathroom to find her husband fast asleep on the couch. She then talks to her sleeping husband about how upset she is as her only son has left her for good. The next scene shows Hee Jae about to go for a run. Her father (Sang Gook) ask if he could tag along. She was a little confuse as she thought her father had a golf appointment. He then tells her that he had cancel his golf session to run with her and she agreed. (Mostly some father daughter bonding scenes.It’s quite cute actually. Haha)

Jun Young sees Dan Byul packing their bags despite having one day more to their honeymoon. Dan Byul then tell Jun Young that she feels that they should go to his mother’s house. Telling how upset his mother must be and insist they go over. Jun Young tell Dan Byul he hope his mother would be moved. Dan Byul tells him how if she was sincere she is sure his mother will acknowledge her someday.


Sang Gook and Hee Jae finished their run. They said down for a meal and her dad tells her that what they were have was really good for hangovers. Hee Jae apologies for the commotion she made the day before. But her father brush it off by telling her that he was glad to know that she actually still had fun and even drink in the day. He then tells her that they must drink together sometime. He then tells her the company is forming a legal team and asked her if she would want to take charge and she agreed. The zoom into her and she thought “wait and see… Jun Young.”(That doesn’t sound good)



 Nam Soo(Jun Young’s dad) was having a terrible hangover and his wife Ho Duk has made him hangover soup. She nags at him for drinking so much and sleeping on the couch. Suddenly Nam Soo receives a call from Mil Lee and he runs into his room to pick it up. Ho Duk wonders who may call so early in the morning. When Nam Soo picks up the phone he hears Mil Lee scream. He rushes out of the house to find Mil Lee and when he arrive to his horror her house was a mess and two thugs sitting in the living room and Mil Lee on the ground. Apparently, Mil Lee owes the thugs money and if she can’t pay it she will have to sell her organs. They tried to force her to sign her organs off until Nam Soo decided to pay for her. He hesitated when he found out how much she owed but in the end he signed the agreement to pay off the debuts for her.



 At home, Ho-Duk realizes that Nam Soo forgot to bring his phone. She calls his office only to be told that he has not arrived yet. Ho Duk is befuddled as Nam Soo should have reached the office already. Ho Duk checked his call logs and realizes he call someone called Seo Bong Goo very often. She wondered who it was. Moments later, Ho Duk was ironing the clothes and she noticed that her husband’s shirt had a red stain that looked like a lipstick stain. Being to absorbed in her thoughts she accidentally hurt herself.

Just then Jun Young and Dan Byul arrives. Still angry with them, she ignored then and gave them the cold shoulder even when Dan Byul ask if they could stay the night Ho Duk immediately said no. When they wanted to pay their respects Ho Duk told them to just leave as they have nothing to do with each other.


Ho Duk slams her room door in both Jun Young and Dan Byul's face. Dan Byul trying to be a good daughter in law decided to help finish up the ironing and she clean up the refrigerator. She accidentally found the torn divorce papers in the trash can.  Suddenly, Ho Duk enters the kitchen and ask her what she was doing. Dan Byul quick places the paper back into the trash can and told Ho Duk she was just cleaning up. Dan Byul then asked her if she was hungry and wanted something to eat. Ho Duk wanted to make her life difficult and tells her to heat the soup at the stove up. Despite knowing Dan Byul phobia. Even so, Dan Byul quietly agreed to do it. She stands in front of the stove and looks at it. Ho Duk watches Dan Byul as she slowly moved towards the stove knob.


This episode is so much better than the last. I like the speed in which the drama is moving at, how we slowly find out about each character a little more. This was a pretty humorous episode too. I like how much Ho Duk trust Nam Soo. Sadly she put the trust on the wrong person at this point. I can’t wait to see Ho Duk and Dan Byul’s relationship grow… That will be interesting. Looking forward to the other episodes. Do drop me comments on what you think and your opinions! Cheers
