THURSDAY UPDATE ON MADAM ANTOINE

Hye Rim (Han Ye Seul) and Soo Hyun (Sung Joon) are cuddling on a couch, asking each other when they first started liking each other. After kissing, they realize that it is already dawn. Hye Rim does not want to separate from Soo Hyun, yet. Unfortunately, Soo Hyun must attend a funeral, and Hye Rim is forced to accept that they will not see each other again for a couple of days. Soo Hyun and his mentor, Mi Ran (Jang Mi Hee) attend the funeral of a fellow academic who died of cancer. Soo Hyun warns Mi Ran to get tested for cancer, and Mi Ran stays silent about her diagnosis. A child disrupts the service with her singing, and her parents are helpless to stop her. Later in the car, Mi Ran asks a reluctant Soo Hyun to consider treating the child. Six year old So Dam breaks out into song as soon as a room becomes silent. Soo Hyun questions the parents, and finds out that So Dam has a whole host of other behavioural problems in spite of exhibiting exceptional learning abilities. Soo Hyun enlists Hye Rim to help him observe So Dam, because he is no good with children. They meet So Dam after school and the child immediately has an accident in her pants. Soo Hyun explores the family’s home until Hye Rim has finished cleaning So Dam up. Hye Rim goes to clean up the bathroom, and when she returns, she finds So Dam latched onto Soo Hyun’s leg, proclaiming her love for him.

Later, Soo Hyun notes that So Dam’s sister So Yul competes in beauty contests of her own accord, and that the mother was once a pageant queen. The Chairman (Byun Hee Bong) and his men are frantically looking for his daughter when she is found by some hikers. They convince the hikers not to call the police, and pay them for their silence.

Hye Rim reveals that Ji Ho confessed having feelings for her, and she knows he took the rejection badly. Soo Hyun advises her to be clear with Ji Ho so that there is no false hope, and Hye Rim playfully accuses him of being jealous.
