49 Days: Episode 12
by girlfriday
This episode RULES! Here are a few reasons why: Sweet Kang, Angry Kang, Hero Kang, Smart Kang, Jealous Kang, Fisticuffs Kang, Bratty Kang, Petty Kang, Cutie Pie Kang, Bad Excuses Kang, Playboy Kang… Did I leave any out? Oh yeah… Kang in a Suit. Need I say more?
Ji-hyun starts feeling woozy, and then her soul pops right out of Yi-kyung's body. In the middle of the park, in the middle of the day. Oh, crap.
Min-ho asks if Yi-kyung's okay, but all he gets back is a "Who are you?" But before things can get too complicated, (and damn, too bad) In-jung arrives to discover Min-ho here "with that woman." He drags her away to talk, leaving Yi-kyung confused and alone.
Ji-hyun calls the Scheduler in a panic, but Kang has been keeping an eye from afar, and swoops in to save the day. Gawd, I love Kang as the big bleeding heart hero. I mean, don't get me wrong—I ALSO love petulant, petty Kang. But this Kang is so sweet.
The Scheduler drags Ji-hyun away, calling her a troublemaker (hey, takes one to know one, buddy) and Kang reassures Yi-kyung that everything is okay. She recognizes him, which does calm her down, but as she looks at her surroundings, she has a momentary flashback…
Oh noes. More tugging of the heartstrings. Damnit, Show.
Yi-kyung and Yi-soo walk hand-in-hand in their high school uniforms, looking like the cutest couple there ever was. She says, "Oh no, what am I going to do? This place is so pretty."
Yi-soo: "What am I going to do?" And she finishes his thought: "…because I'M so pretty?" Haha. I'd barf if you weren't so cute. They walk along and then disappear, like a momentary hallucination.
In-jung demands to know what Min-ho is doing here with Yi-kyung, and asks if he came here with her. He doesn't directly answer her, but ends up running off to check on Yi-kyung because he's worried about her, leaving In-jung stewing and totally rejected. I sense some deep-seated issues about to surface with this one.
Meanwhile, the Scheduler gives Ji-hyun a talking-to, and she worries what'll happen if she can't get back into her host body before midnight (the official penalty is one day per minute that she's late). But there's at least one loophole for today: this wasn't her fault, getting ejected in the middle of the day, so she won't be getting that penalty.
But that makes Reaper Boy wonder what made Yi-kyung wake up. He guesses that there's something about this place, and that bringing her here has triggered something significant for her. Dude, you have no idea.
He consults his reaper smartphone, which tells him that in the case of the host waking up in the middle of the day, he can make her believe that the entire day was a dream. The cost: another of the 49 days shaved off. Ji-hyun pouts that she's already used a day, but they're pretty much out of options at this point.
They run to catch up to Yi-kyung, who is walking along down the path where she and Yi-soo had once walked. She instinctively just follows a young high school couple, as if in a trance, and Kang follows silently behind her.
Ji-hyun and the Scheduler catch up, and then as all four of them walk along, Yi-kyung sees two kids at a table with tarot cards and stops. That triggers Kang's memory, and then he flashes back…
After their magic club had picked partners, he and Ji-hyun were assigned to raise money for a charity by setting up a tarot card booth in that park. Ji-hyun works tirelessly trying to get people to stop, while he just sulks off to the side, all the while stealing glances at her.
After singing to get people's attention (which of course embarrasses Kang to no end), one couple, a pair of kids from another school, finally stops at the table…
O.M.G. It's Yi-kyung and Yi-soo! Dude, I assumed they were tacitly connected because they lived in the same so-called "reaper district" as adults, but it didn't even occur to me that it might go back as far as high school.
And there they are, our main foursome, all dressed in high school uniforms, all alive, and staring right at each other. My mind, she is blown.
Ji-hyun coaxes them to pay 5 bucks and pick a card, and Yi-soo hesitates saying that it's a hoax. Ji-hyun swears it's not, and Yi-kyung wants to play for fun, so he agrees. As he pays, Ji-hyun notes a few things: he's got worn sleeves, and she carefully reads Yi-kyung's nametag, and sees that they've come up from another town.
He then picks a card—it's the Lovers card, featuring two naked people, making both of them blush. But Ji-hyun's reaction reveals that this is not the fortune she wanted to deliver to the young couple.
They note the look on her face and ask if this is a bad card. So she lies, telling them that they're meant to be, and that they'll get married and have a long, happy life together. She then does a trick and reveals a pink rose, and hands it to Yi-kyung with a smile.
She tells her that it's her favorite flower, and we see that this is the moment when Kang discovered this about Ji-hyun, and why he still brings her pink roses to this day. It's ALSO the same rose that Yi-kyung still has in her apartment—the one that Dr. Noh returned to her. It has to be.
In the present, all four of them stand there in front of the table, and the Scheduler watches them quizzically, trying to figure out why they're all so lost in thought. It's a nice moment, as each of the two who are still alive—Kang and Yi-kyung—are flanked by the people they loved, hovering by them as spirits.
Back in the past, Yi-kyung and Yi-soo sit by the water talk about their dream to build a pension. Yi-soo takes the flower and tells her that he'll build it for her, and call it June Love, because he'll build it for her by next June.
He then gets down on one knee and gives her the rose, telling her that he loves her. Oh, my god, I can't take it! It's so sad!
He kisses her on the forehead, and then in the present, Yi-kyung's tears start to fall as she remembers it all. The Scheduler looks at her, a little shaken, and then in an instant, she collapses.
Without even thinking about it, the Scheduler materializes in order to catch her as she falls. Yi-kyung looks up, actually seeing Yi-soo's face in a haze, before passing out. Omigod, omigod, omigod.
Yi-soo holds her like that, moved by her tears, and he wipes them with his hand. It shakes him, though he can't remember or know why.
Kang doesn't even notice, as he and Ji-hyun keep staring at the kids, lost in memory. Back in the past, Kang scolds her for lying to the young couple. He may have half-assed most things, but he knows enough that she read their card upside-down, meaning that the "true" fortune would have been: lovers who are destined to part forever.
She just says in her Ji-hyunesque way that they looked so happy together, and that she didn't want to give them bad news. So, what's wrong with a little white lie? He argues in his stubborn way that it's still lying, and that she doesn't get to decide whether or not they ought to hear the truth.
She grumbles that he's one to talk, being the brat who rejected his mother's birthday soup, and that riles him up. He starts to pack it up, and she grabs his arm to stop him, and in anger he shakes her off, only she's a stick, so she goes flying into the bucket of roses.
That's when her bracelet comes off (the one he still keeps) and she cry-yells at him to go away. This is the big fallout? Everything else about this flashback is awesome, but this part is lame-o. Oh well. Maybe there's a part 2?
And…there is. Oh, thank god. Kang rushes back to the scene but doesn't find Ji-hyun there. He does pick up the bracelet, though, and shows up to school the next day bearing a giant bouquet of pink roses. Aaaaaargh. Kang ah! So. Cute.
But timing's not on his side, as he walks in to hear Seo-woo announce to the class that Ji-hyun is off to Seoul, and that they'll never see her again. He rushes out to try and find her, only to be met by his mother, and then his father. His bags are already packed, as Mom has decided to give in and send him to the States to live with Dad.
Aw, poor puppy. So it wasn't like a giant fallout or anything, but basically an unfulfilled chance at first love. Kang's also stunted emotionally, so we can see why he clung to this memory for so long.
Note: In each of their flashbacks, I think present-day characters are only remembering the other couple vaguely. As in, Ji-hyun hasn't put together that Yi-kyung is that girl in the past, and that the Scheduler was her boyfriend. At least not YET.
Reaper Boy yells at Ji-hyun to pop back in while Yi-kyung has fainted, and Kang literally sees the change right before his eyes. He knows that it's Ji-hyun again, and pretends not to notice the crazy, just offering up the excuse that she's fainting because she's hungry.
Meanwhile, Min-ho runs back to the scene to look for Yi-kyung, shouting her name in the crowd. In-jung stands in place, still stung from the rejection, as a tear falls.
Over dinner, Kang stares at Ji-hyun intently, and we see that after he had dropped her off to meet Min-ho, he still followed her out of worry. He saw everything—that In-jung had arrived and gotten miffed, that Min-ho dragged her away, and that she had called him "oppa."
He puts some food on her plate, and she notes his increasing weirdness—that he's being nice, and not even getting angry about the fact that she came here with Min-ho. So when she gets a phone call from the bastard, he half-acting / half-truthfully grabs the phone out of her hand, yelling that people shouldn't call when she's eating.
He tells her not to meet Min-ho, and to go back up to Seoul with him instead. Ji-hyun, dim girl that she is, interprets the action as him basically confessing that he likes Yi-kyung. Heh. Well, you're half-right.
By the time Min-ho gives up trying to find Yi-kyung and remembers that he ditched In-jung, she's long gone. She's gone to her parents' house, and we see that she grew up very poor, which was probably the main source of her ire towards Princess Ji-hyun.
She can't bring herself to go in though, and Min-ho catches up to her there. She gets a call from Seo-woo, or rather the restaurant owner where Seo-woo is drunk and passed out, from being stood up by Kang.
In-jung makes a snide remark to Min-ho that she'll take Seo-woo and that he should go, since he has someone waiting for him in his hotel room. But he cancels the rest of his business trip and takes them back.
On their way out of Jinan, Ji-hyun perks up at seeing her dad's favorite restaurant, and Kang notes her interest. He makes up an excuse to bring back some food for the others, and so they stop. Min-ho drives past on the same route and sees Yi-kyung happily carrying out food with Kang.
He's dying of curiosity—what happened to her, why Kang is there in Jinan—but can't let on, so he just keeps driving.
It's time for Yi-kyung to arrive at work, and she makes it, but it's clearly not Yi-kyung, unless she's gotten a lobotomy between Jinan and Seoul. She sasses her boss and gets to work, starting with a caramel macchiato for herself. Her reflection in the mirror reveals that it's Yi-soo, playing dress-up to help Yi-kyung keep her job. Aw. Your prickliness is SUCH an act.
He yells at a couple of kids who are about to ask for some help buying cigarettes, and then sighs when he sees Dr. Noh walk in. He presents himself in his own body this time, and sends him away brusquely, noting that all men are the same. Hm, I wonder if it was a mistake for you to reveal your face to the doc. I guess we'll see.
Min-ho helps bring Seo-woo home, and then he and In-jung have it out. She notes that this is the first time he's ever been in her place, and that she's basically never been able to do any normal couple things with him, and yet here he is, taking a woman he's known for a month to Jinan. Why?
Min-ho: "Because I'm drawn to her." Dayum. He's not mincing words. He tells her that he's tried not to, and that he feels bad, but he can't help it…that's where his heart keeps going. He tells her that he's not going to do anything about it, and so to wait for him.
In-jung's jaw drops, even amidst her tears. She's waited for five years…how much longer is she supposed to wait? They hear Seo-woo stumble to the bathroom to throw up, and he tries to get In-jung to quiet down, but she's done keeping secrets on his behalf.
She shouts that she's got nothing to lose and no one to be afraid of if the truth gets out, and so she's done caring about that. Seo-woo's practically passed out, but she does wake up just long enough to see Min-ho from the side, for an instant, as he leaves.
Kang walks Ji-hyun home, and insists on watching her go inside. She keeps eyeing him warily, like Nice-Kang does not compute. He just asks her in exasperation if she likes Min-ho enough to follow him all the way to Jinan, and she just replies that there must've been a reason for her to do so, but doesn't offer up what that reason is.
As he watches her, Kang thinks to himself, "Idiot. Idiot, Idiot. You said you saw him in a hotel room with In-jung. And you still like him?" Oh, I totally forgot that he knows that—well, that Yi-kyung had come back from that hotel with her resume, reeling from the trauma of seeing her ex with her friend. Now he's got all the puzzle pieces.
And with that knowledge, he greets Min-ho with a fist to the face. Aw, yeah! He says, "That was for Ji-hyun!" And then he hits him again. "That's for Ji-hyun too!" He raises his fist a third time, "And this…"
But he finally calms down, seeing that Min-ho has no excuses and just takes all the hits. Inside, he gives him some ointment, and asks how long it's been going on with In-jung. Min-ho lies that of course it was after Ji-hyun's accident, but Kang tells him not to assume he's an idiot.
He lays into Min-ho for carrying on with In-jung before the accident, and asks if he came to like Yi-kyung at the same time. He can't believe the hyung he liked and respected so much turned out to be this kind of person.
Min-ho in turn asks why Kang liked him so much, and Kang says it's because he knows that Min-ho grew up poor, but overcame everything with his own strength. Min-ho just tells him that guys like him think that growing up poor means that he couldn't afford a car or nice restaurants, and scoffs without further explanation.
So, basically, Kang : Min-ho :: Ji-hyun : In-jung, yeah? Kang warns Min-ho not to bother about Yi-kyung anymore, and Min-ho leaves without answering him.
Kang broods for a while, and then decides to tell Manager Oh everything, because he needs help processing it all. They suss out that she had 49 days from the date of her accident, that she can't tell anyone who she is, and he wonders about the monk's words: that she has to get proof of people's true hearts.
He also can't figure out why she hid her official seal, and Manager Oh just tells him to help her, because he's the only one who can.
Ji-hyun has slept all night in Yi-kyung's body, both of them worn out from the day's events. She wakes up the next day and remembers the food she brought back, and visits the hospital as Ji-hyun's friend.
She gives them the soup and tells them that Ji-hyun said that even if she got married, her father would always be her lighthouse, and she asks him to live a long, long time.
Belatedly, In-jung wonders who sent her the text yesterday to meet Min-ho in the park. What, you didn't wonder that when you got it? Anyway, she calls the number and Ji-hyun answers on the other end, clearly having anticipated the call.
They meet, and In-jung asks what she's up to, not about to give an inch. But Ji-hyun shakes her, declaring that she said she'd keep her secret, not that she wouldn't meet Min-ho. She tells her not to worry though—he won't break it off with In-jung so easily since they've been "partners" for so long.
She muses that In-jung, being the president's secretary and Ji-hyun's old friend, probably got Min-ho his job in the first place. She thinks it shouldn't be a big deal for them to share Min-ho, since hell, she handed him over to her best friend for two years. Ha. I like this vindictive streak in Ji-hyun.
Kang goes to see Seo-woo and asks about yesterday. He confirms a myriad of things: that she overheard In-jung and Min-ho say that they've been together for five years (which she shrugs off as having heard wrong), that In-jung has a boyfriend that she's never met, and that Ji-hyun's dad doesn't have long to live.
Damn, it's so refreshing to have people just find out everything at once. Kang works it out on his drive back, figuring out that Ji-hyun isn't still interested in Min-ho; she's got some sort of plan to reveal his true nature to her father before he signs everything over to him.
In-jung walks into Min-ho's office and shows him her resignation, announcing that she's on her way to submit it, and she adds that Yi-kyung sent her a text that day to meet him at the park.
That sends his wheels spinning, and he tasks his minion to dig up everything he can on Song Yi-kyung. He figures that there's a reason why she's playing him, and he won't rest until he finds out.
At the same time, In-jung goes to the hospital intending to resign, but finds out that Ji-hyun's "friend" is going around interviewing people but hasn't called Seo-woo or herself, and at Mom's mention of her coming by with soup from Jinan that she picked up yesterday, her suspicions are aroused.
Kang comes back and finds Ji-hyun lost in thought. He looks on and thinks to himself that he hopes she doesn't know about Dad's illness, worried about how she'd handle it. He counts the days and sighs that she's only got 23 days left.
Yi-kyung goes to work that night and thinks about what she thinks was her dream—that she remembered Yi-soo and that he appeared to catch her. She says aloud, "You shouldn't have come…even in my dreams. Don't come. Don't come."
On Day 20, a curious thing happens. Just as Ji-hyun starts to pop into her host's body, Yi-kyung opens her eyes and wakes up for a second, and sees Ji-hyun's face. Hm. Seems she's not far from figuring out a few things herself.
Ji-hyun shows up to work to find Kang dressed in a snazzy suit. Hello, nurse! Her reaction is a lot like mine—she looks him up and down and her mouth hangs open, wondering where he's going, dressed up so nicely.
Just then, a delivery boy shows up with a bouquet of pink roses, and he tells her that he's going on a date. She's like, "A date? Wait, you have a girlfriend?" He gets all defensive, asking if he's not allowed to like anybody, and Ji-hyun thinks to herself that he flirted with Yi-kyung, all the while dating someone else.
Out loud, she calls him a playboy, and then mumbles under her breath, "Pisses me off…she even likes the same flowers as me." Ha. He tries to explain that she's not his girlfriend so much as the girl he likes, but she's not listening.
He goes to the hospital and Dad reacts badly, kicking him out. He tries to get back on the Haemido project, which Dad doesn't accept, insisting he doesn't need people who are flaky.
Mom follows him out and apologizes, and Kang takes the opportunity to ask about what Ji-hyun was on her way to do, the day of her accident. Mom says she was going to drop off her seal to Min-ho, because the Haemido land deal hinged on the sale of land in her name.
Ji-hyun calls Min-ho, and he goes to meet her, but this time he's a step ahead of her. She fesses up to sending In-jung the text, and tries to bait him, by saying that she wants the same thing that Min-ho wants.
But he doesn't fall for it, saying that there's nothing he wants from her. She tries to bait him again, saying that he'll never figure her out, but he counters, "You're not someone I want to figure out." And walks away.
She wanders and the minion follows her with a telephoto lens, like a proper stalker.
Kang drives back to Heaven, putting together more pieces of the puzzle: that Min-ho had no intention of marrying Ji-hyun, that Ji-hyun found out about his true nature after the accident, and that's why she hid her seal.
Kang: All this time, standing in the space between life and death… you've had such a hard time. What can I do for you?
Just then, as if answering his thoughts, he comes upon Ji-hyun, walking alone. Swept up in the moment, he answers his own question by getting out of the car and walking toward her…
And he pulls her in for a hug.
Epic. Swoon. Gah, it kills me. He can't tell her that he knows, he can't offer words of comfort, so he does the only thing he can do… Aaaargh, I'm RE-swooning.
Make it stop.
I seriously thought he was going to kiss her, when he stopped two inches from her face, but then, considering I might've died from heart failure, I suppose it's good we stop here.
Dear javabeans: Meh-rong!

Required fields are marked *
"I seriously thought he was going to kiss her, when he stopped two inches from her face, but then, considering I might've died from heart failure, I suppose it's good we stop here."
HAHAHAHA couldn't agree with you more on that one GF! :D
Required fields are marked *
I thought the same thing...but...it might happen during the opening of the next episode! OMG! I don't think I can wait until next week's episode. This is the best episode yet and I'm so glad that this is a 20 episode drama and not the usual 16. There are so many epic moments in this episode and my hands down favorite is how he pieces everything together and ends the episode with a hug that is so full of love, I can't stand it! I want my own Kang!!!
Required fields are marked *
If only there would be a lot of man in this world like Kang-ahs that are not clueless...I think it will be a better place to live in...LOL! I want my own Kang-ah too! :D :D

Required fields are marked *
I hear you, Boss...back at the assembly line now waxing my kang-ahs, 1, 2 ,3, wax, 1,2,3, wax....
a bunch of depraved women here ..... going crazy over a KANG WAX figure!!!
where do I fall in line?
I too was disappointed with the whole jihyun/KANNGGGGG AHHHH's back story....
i mean I get how he would develop feelings for her, but i mean with the couple of clips we've seen it seems hard to believe that those feelings stayed with him all this time with those small interactions here and there....
but maybe it's those little things that KANNNGGG AHHHHH is most sensitive to....
nevertheless, i would love to see more to their backstory...... maybe they bumped into each other years after high school?? EEKKK can't wait XD

Thank you its fun to understand the story from another person's view.
Required fields are marked *
so addicted! thanks, GF!
Required fields are marked *
Yay! Thanks for the recap! I absolutely LOVED this ep! Especially the Yi Kyung + Yi Soo moments ~
Required fields are marked *
couldn't agree more!!
but it is incredibly sad at the same time...
they were so much in love with each other.... it breaks my heart ~
I hope all this magic and fantasy story plots will bring scheduler/yisoo back to life!! :D:D:D
Required fields are marked *
Yeah! I'm hoping there's a way for him to come back to life...or at least be able to meet each other one more time with Yi Soo's memory back ;_;
Required fields are marked *
Aaahhh I wish you're right Godislove...to bring the scheduler/yisoo back to life but a strange scenario cross my mind...
What if Yi Kyung dies at the end due to health reason and the Scheduler/Yi Soo will be her guide to the elevator. Yi Kyung will be his last "customer" since his 5-yr contract is up and he already remembers everything. They'll go to the elevator together...holding hands....hope I'm wrong and looking forward to a happy ending :D
Required fields are marked *
that would be an awesome ending!!!
but i think from my understanding shin ji hyun is his last "customer" :(
but who knows... anything can happen... LITERALLY ANYTHING like we've seen throughout this whole drama series LOL!
Required fields are marked *
True, but since his term is lengthened by a week, someone else could end up being his last "customer". Although I'm hoping for some strange twist of fate that grants Yi Soo his life back too...
You're so right...aside from JHJ...unpredictability is one of the things I love about this drama series! LOL! hopefully there will be more surprises...like the kiss that everybody would like to see... :D
There's a similar scenario that crossed my mind:
Ji Hyun's parents decide to pull the plug on Ji Hyun and hastily have her body cremated before she has the chance to go back to it. Yi Kyung dies and meets Yi Soo in the afterlife (they ride the elevator together). Ji Hyun takes over Yi Kyung's body, permanently this time.
This scenario fulfills my wish as to how this drama should end (and I suppose fullfills other fans' as well)--Jo Hyun Jae and Lee Yo Won together in the end, and Nam Gyu Ri sort of out of the picture :D
Required fields are marked *
LOL, guuurrrl.
You and I think alike about Gyuri...but I really want a happy ending for Yikyung and Yisoo. HE MUST COME BACK TO LIFE SOMEHOW!!!
Thats a bit harsh. I really like Nam Gyu Ri and I think she plays her character well. Im hoping for KANG and Ji Hyun!!
same here @Asama. I had my initial dislike for Nam Gyuri too but her character is just SO.DAMN.ENDEARING. :D
Definitely endearing. I love how she (JH's soul) cares about Yi-Kyung. Dr.Noh cares abt Yi-kyung too but in a more professional manner. Besides, Yi Soo, who else could show Yi-Kyung such tender care like saying she's pretty, making sure she eats and exercises right, wanting to find out how to bring Yi Soo back to her (before she found out he's probably dead), and talking to her like she's a friend and a sister. And even scolding her a bit. She really is like YK's guardian angel. The scenes where JH talks to YK are always touching.
I think Yi-soo would be sad if Yi-kyung dies too. He's unselfish enough to want Yi-kyung to live long and well. They will meet each other when she dies as an old woman and their young souls will reunite.
So here's what I've been thinking: Do we know for sure that he's dead? I too am looking for a happy ending here. I keep thinking of the newspaper article Ji-hyun mailed to her father; the woman in the US waking up after 20 years. Maybe Yi Soo in the unknown 49-dayer and he didn't succeed in his mission finding those that loved him but instead volunteered to be a Scheduler (mandatory memory wipe and all). So his body is still around somewhere waiting for his soul to return. And Ji-hyun after becoming his buddy will his final reveal of love.
Required fields are marked *
I also thought of the same thing...cause in the first place if Yi Soo is supposed to be Yi Kyung should be visiting him in the cemetery and not in the place of the accident. He may still be alive but I think his body is not in Korea and may be in another country which is why we can't see exactly where he is at this time...
if this is the case could it be possible that Yi Soo was adopted in his later age or his real family have finally found him?...this drama is getting interesting by every episode...
Required fields are marked *
man you are FAST! am checking for subs every ten minutes, I love where this show is going and am super excited for this episode!! :D
Required fields are marked *
Also: I don't read the recaps till I've watched the episode (well in this show's case) but omg, just skimming through the pictures, I just about squeeled as I saw shots of Yo Soo and Yi Kyung....my heart just melted into a puddle of goo :D

49 Days just keeps getting better and better!
Required fields are marked *
Required fields are marked *
I'm loving the pace...
Even though Ji Hyun is slow to catch up but at least Kang is fast. He just knew about Ji Hyun yesterday and now he knows what she knows...
Required fields are marked *
Thanks GF...can't go to bed without reading your recap...:))
Ok people...I've been trying to ignore this feeling but I got the urge that it is about time to join the bandwagon....
there....I've been screaming it deep inside but can't hold it anymore. This episode really burst it open...
Now, back to reading the recap again...lol
Required fields are marked *
Hahah resistance is futile....
Required fields are marked *
it feels good to just finally let it out, right?
our KANG should just follow our example and tell JH how he feels, bet he'll feell good as much as we do when we finally declare our KANG love....
Required fields are marked *
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!! Why do we have to wait two more weeks to find out what happens!!!!!!
Required fields are marked *
The last episode.
Required fields are marked *
that's what i hate about these dramas, the last episode just ties up the story. Throw us an episode of them living happily every after!!! Even half an episode would be nice, i just want to see them happy!!!!!!
Required fields are marked *
this is a 20 episode show..so 4 more weeks!!

Kang in a Suit.

Smiling, holding flowers, worrying, resolving to help, hugging - all in a Suit - freaking drama god's gift to women.
He took my breath away.
Required fields are marked *
I am so with you. Kang in a suit...sigh!
Required fields are marked *
but isn't it funny, cute and adorable of Kang that he wore a suit to the hospital? what was he thinking? is he trying to make a good impression on his future parents-in-law? lol
and JH's mom has good instinct for people - she doesn't trust MH, but is very gracious towards Kang every time they see each other.
Required fields are marked *
Kang-ah in a birthday suit would be amazing! *winking*
Required fields are marked *
Make that Kang-ah in a birthday suit holding pink flowers......*chortling*
Required fields are marked *
Damn I love this show!!! Epic Kang!!!!
Required fields are marked *
I loved this episode. It broke my heart to see the Scheduler watch Yi-Kyung as she reminisced.
Required fields are marked *
Required fields are marked *
Ah! This is so great! One of the best episode ever!
Required fields are marked *
KANG-AH. so much love. thank you so much for the recap -- been waiting for it all day, heh. ahhhh!!!!!! KANGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG can't get over kang.
did yikyung see jihyun enter her body when she opened her eyes, though? i didn't think she would be able to see jihyun...
and i'm worried for jihyun now that it looks like minho + injung are catching on...but at least she has kang on her side :) eeeeee!!!! can't wait for next wed.
Required fields are marked *
wow i m loving it............. ah i have to wait 5 more days to know whats next ...
Required fields are marked *
Yi Kyung & Yi Soo.. so sweet..
Since Kang doesn't know that Ji Hyun lost 2 days, wonder how that will play out..
Required fields are marked *
Hey, yeah. I completely forgot that Kang doesn't know about her lost days. That's bound to bring in more drama.
Required fields are marked *
i never ever though that anyone would find out?
(huh. that's why my fanfics never ever become popular xP)
but SERIOUSLY. KANG AH!
he must have a IQ of like gazillion!
so proud of him. not only does he figure that she's actually jihyun. but also that she can't tell him for a reason. that she really only has like 20 days to live. and that minho is a jerk. and that injung is a bitch. WOW.
the two couples....
omg. what could have been.... it pains me to see that jihun and kang can probably still make it. but yikyung and yisoo will never ever have another chance. sighs.
Required fields are marked *
HAHA! exaclty!
Han Kang is super smart!!
Even Minho mentions kang's intelligence to ji hyun's dad in episode 1....
Man.. being smart is so attractive :p
Required fields are marked *
Does Kang know about the two penalty days that have been shaved off from Ji-Hyun's 49 days? I thought it was a bit strange how Kang's "23 days left" jumped to Ji-Hyun's "20 days left"...ergo, he probably doesn't know. Wonder if that will play a part the plot later...
And is anyone keeping track of how many days Scheduler have left?
Required fields are marked *
KANNNNGGGGG AHHHHHHH~!.......i think, unfortunately, doesn't know about the penalty days since the 49day situation in itself is a load to handle! lol
let's hope that everything works out before the 20 days :S so that KANNNNGGGG AHHHHH doesn't get blindsided with the penalty days and is too late to help!
I'm not entirely sure how many days scheduler has left, but I'm pretty sure its exaclty 7 days after ji hyun is finished with her '49' days which is more like '47' days due to the penalties.... soooo i'm guessing scheduler has ~27 days left :S
Required fields are marked *
Ah thanks for clearing that up! Oh but does the 2 day penalty apply to Scheduler's days as well? If not he'd have 29 days left right?
Unless he gets another visit from bike-riding leather-clad Haemoni...he's been directly meddling with human affairs lately...
(It'd be funny if all this brainstorming had nothing to do with the plot XD)
Required fields are marked *
HAHA yeah that would be funny XD
but that's the beauty of imagination... doesn't matter if you're wrong or write :D
HAHA yeah that would be funny XD
but that's the beauty of imagination... doesn't matter if you're wrong or right:D
a week AFTER ji hyun's 49 days are up, if i'm not mistaken.
KANG AAAAAH i need a hug just.like.that. right.now.
Required fields are marked *
Wow, an episode with a lot of revelations. Kang must have been exhausted feeling different emotions. And I feel really bad for Yi-Kyung and Yi-Soo.
Required fields are marked *
Gah nonstop refreshing to get non stop KANG AHHHHHHHH yay! Thanks GF!<3
Required fields are marked *
Oh the suit!
Required fields are marked *
By the way, how is it that the box that holds all Y-K's pretty clothes is like this big:
but there are enough clothes/bags/shoes to last her about 26 days with nary a repeat?
It must be like Mary Poppins' carpet bag...
Required fields are marked *
I had wondered abt that too!
but when it comes to kdramas and clothes....yikes! I guess this is the equivalent of a poor girl owning tons of designer clothing that couldn't possibly fit into her living quarters.
Required fields are marked *
i love that you literally DREW that for us, man. :P
also yeah, their suitcases are like that as well.and these guys rock up to places and they're in suits (SUITS!) and i'm like, "wut..HOW?!"
Required fields are marked *
Yup, it's magic and I've asked someone in Seoul to look for one for me.
Required fields are marked *
:) Let me know if they find one! I need a magical carry-on bag for when I travel!
Required fields are marked *
Or a magical parking spot...I don't know anything about Korean traffic regulations, but it's funny how the cars can just stop anywhere...be it near a bus stop or the middle of a bridge. Not that I'd mind. Hell if I had the likes of BSB and JHJ stopping in front of me the first thing I'd do is flatten their tyres so they can't away...jokes!
I think...
Required fields are marked *
they can't get away*
Fortune teller Kang is missing from the list :)
Required fields are marked *
thank you for such a quick recap. I just finished this episode and desperately needed someone to do the fangirl thing w/ me.
Firstly, KANG AAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! I love having a main character in a drama NOT be so obtuse about the situation and I loved every Kang in this episode.
Secondly, how heart breaking was the flash back? It's curious how I am bleeding for the star-crossed lovers even though we only got to see a few scenes of them. I may even be more emotionally invested because I have been watching her heart break. It breaks my heart to see Yi-kyung as herself.
Lastly, fangirl squeal. How awesome was this episode!!!!!!!!!!
Required fields are marked *
Warning: The content of this comment is schiz-like.
The Ghost is getting used to the Host's body and even can sleep in that body. The Host is starting to see creatures from another parallel world. This is the start of transition time.
The hour glass has turned and the sand has started to fill the another side. If one side is full, another side will empty.
One wants to live and another wants to die. One has every reason to hold on to her life but another has none.
Will the host give up all for her love? Will the Ghost take over? Is it even fair trade. Well, if both party agree, I'd call it fair.
Crazy mind and fantasty drama. It sure doesn't do any good at all.
Thanks GF.
Required fields are marked *
That's a crazy possibility!
What if Yi-kyung gives up her body and follows our reaper to the after life?
That doesn't make drama sense thought, since it leaves too many loose ends. Parents, bad couple, friends...
Would be an interesting twist though.
Required fields are marked *
There is no WAY they can let YK die, as asianromance pointed out, because she gives up.
Why would they have JH go though all that struggle to get her own life back, and let YK say, "OK, I give up. You can have my body. My life is not important enough."
This could happen:
-We see the Kang-ah/JH story resolve nicely in the 47 days.
-Something, don't care, happens to MH and IJ - totally indifferent to whether they redeem or get punished.
-We see YK somehow reaffirm her life by buying a plant and watering it, and pick up some college brochures, etc.
Scheduler whines to Gramma-Biker, etc, about getting his week reduced.
YK does something fun and LIFE IS GOOD, but
out of nowhere, a piano falls out of the sky, and she expires.
And when her Scheduler walks her into the elevator, he hands her a new living rose. Hand in hand, they get on TOGETHER, and, walk off into the sunset for eternity...
Required fields are marked *
"out of nowhere, a piano falls out of the sky, and she expires."
jomo, that would be so odd. but as long as YK-YS ends together, im ok if anything falls from the sky even haemoni lol!
Required fields are marked *
THAT would be funny!
Haemoni on her bike would land, yawn, and drive away, leaving poor YK all splat, but happy to be with the S.
I think one of this drama's strongest messages is about valuing life and lucky and wonderful it is to live. I don't think they will let Yi Kyung die to just be with the Scheduler. I am sure both girls will live!
Required fields are marked *
What this drama tries to sell is undying love, love beyond death, I can't let you go even if I die(yep, I even use song name), forever love......geez... my clues become cheese overload. Ok, I stop now.
Required fields are marked *
asianromance is right. The drama stresses the importance of life. Even the scheduler spoke about the pain from losing his life at 23. Yi Kyung will not die and chances are Yi Soo won't be brought back to life. Yi Kyung will find the will to live again and possibly open her heart to the possibility of new love.
Required fields are marked *
Message's received. Thank you for pointing out the right moral of this drama for me. I just grew up in the era of kdrama where love is everything. My bad.
Love Life :P
Really though, I hope Yi Kyung moves on, if only to show that while loving someone with all your heart and soul is okay, you CAN have a life after that.
I hope she gets with the doctor. They can help eachother heal ;P
Oh I hope not, but that does sound like a possibility...a part of me want Yi-Kyung to be with Yi-Soo, but another part of me wish she would cherish her own life.
That and the fact that Ji-Hyun's vitals spiking (in episode 11, when Kang-ah <3 was crying for her) seems to suggest that she will go back to her own body.
If she does end up in Yi-Kyung's body permanently, the plot will have to somehow resolve the whole Kang is in love Yi-Kyung because of Ji Hyun's soul subplot, and it just seems a bit too wishywashy for me if Ji Hyun stayed in Yi Kyung's body permanently XD.
Required fields are marked *
I totally thought the same thing! That Yi Kyung is a liminal figure whose desire to die leaves her with one foot already on the other side. I soooo hope for a body swap of Ji-Hyun & Yi-Kyung. I love the dynamic between Lee Yo Won and Jo Hyun Jae, though I very much love Lee Yo Won as Yi Kyung with Yi Soo (sniff).
Two things:
1. Dr. Noh! He soooooo realized that he was seeing Yi Soo.
2. Is there some direct correlation between Ji Hyun having to move to Seoul all of a sudden and Han Kang being packed off to the US on the very same morning? Is there some unsavory deal between Ji Hyun's dad and Han Kang's mother, one so unsavory that Ji Hyun's dad can't stand being reminded of it by the mere sight of Han Kang? Is that why he accepted Han Kang as architect only as Min Ho's insistence? Why he keeps shooing Han Kang from Ji Hyun?
Required fields are marked *
2. Yes (don't know what)
Required fields are marked *
With regards to comment 1. hmmm... not sure I think we'll have to wait and find out! lol
and 2.
I had never thought about that.... but i don't think jihyun's dad even knew about KANNNNNGGGG AHHHHH~ before jihyun and minho's engagement party in the first episode because JH's dad had to ask minho who he was and that's when he finds out who KANNNNGGGGGG AHHHH~ is.
so i doubt that there is any connection between JH's dad and KANNNNNGGGGGGGG AHHHHHHHH's~ mom
but then again, who knows? xD lol
Required fields are marked *
I wish I could hear you read your comment aloud so that I could hear the passion in your voice each time you speak of
Required fields are marked *
2. yes, it is really weird how the 2 were hustled out of that place at the same time. i wonder if it was just one of those kdrama coincidences or could it be a portent of something bad for the HK-JH pairing.
Required fields are marked *
#2: I never thought of that... does seem fishy.
Required fields are marked *
My Reaper Boy.... raising the temperature in my house...
Required fields are marked *
Thanks girlfriday for the recap!!!
I am loving 49 days! Haven't been so obsessed since Secret Garden, but this obsession feels better because I think the story here is better told and more compelling. And omg, Kang is so smart!!
This episode was so super awesome! Lee Yo Won played like 3 characters in one episode! Scheduler as YK! Best scene of the episode! XDD.
I loved that image of the four of them standing in front of that table in the present. For that one frame from above of all four of them right after the magic trick flashback, it really gave me the feeling that some higher power is at work at that very moment- maneuvering things since that very moment 7-8 years ago.
And i LOVE LOVE LOVE catty JH-in-YK's-body! How many times have we watched heroines suffer in silence while some other woman sharpens her claws on them? This is how it should always be like with kdrama heroines. Not afraid to get down and dirty! IJ, you got PWNed. K.O.!! In your face! Yo' mama!!
The only quibble I have with this episode is how fast JH and HK's respective parents hustled them out of Jinan all on the same day. JH's parents were in a suspicious hurry and HK's mom's image was unlike her image when she brought him the soup. way too contrived even for kdrama.
I can sort of see why Ji Hyun never figured out that Kang was in love with her. He was always a bit of curmudgeon (look at him not making an effort at the table and then getting all self-righteous over JH's false prediction. It's not like tarot cards are always correct!) and that's her first, second, third...bajillionth image of him. It is only recently that he has become nice Kang.
And did YK really see JH's face or was it editing (since I'm sure they're cutting it close by this pt in the drama). She closed her eyes, then opened her eyes, "saw" JH leaning in, and then closed them again as if she knew what must happen next.
Required fields are marked *
She saw her - the thin membrane of majic that separates them is being worn away...
Required fields are marked *
I think YK is aware of someone inhabiting her body, what with the unexplainable events that have been happening around her this time.
Perhaps that's why her body seems asleep even though JH lies down in one of the scenes, getting all ready to be ejected from it, but it never happens.
Required fields are marked *
I was thinking of LYW and her 3 roles too!! She is SUCH a good actress. Her JH is getting better and better, with the little quirks and expression...in the last ep she even managed to remind me of NGR and she was like 'omo! the house is too clean I need to reclutter!'
asianromance, I'm with you cheering the catty JH on. YEAH!
Required fields are marked *
haha,, yeah 3 characters !! Wow ! amazing !! i hope next episode we will see more Sche-Kyung again .. hahahah
Lee Yo Won, you are so Great !
Required fields are marked *
I enjoyed that scene very much, Lee Yowon playing tomboy!!!
Required fields are marked *
Oh LEE YOWON can't praise her enough in this drama, she's EVERYTHING!!!
I'm watching for a second time tonight. This time I paid more attention to LYW as the Schedular: all attitudy.
What I'm enjoying so much about her acting is that the different personalities come across so cleanly. I know dress and the necklace help but I don't find myself having to think about which character she is playing at any moment. She completely convinces me.
Unlike Secret Garden where they had the magic veil of switchiness to allow the characters to say important things to each other *in-character*.
Required fields are marked *
Yeah.. TBH I never saw any of LYW's dramas so I find her acting here quite a surprise...I find her portrayals of all 3 characters quite believeable...in fact I enjoy seeing her more than NGR as JH sometimes...NGR is fine just prefer LYW's portrayal.
I like her interactions with all the male leads too...how awesome is that that I like it when she bickers with Kang, then flirt with the devil Minho, and play lovey-dovey with YiSoo...how can 1 girl have such nice chemistry with 3 guys in ONE drama??
By the by, I think BSB is doing a nice job as the villain, it's my first time seeing him act all bad...but his eyes are so intense that I LOVE seeing him conflicted, angry, amused or cold. He's not going to get a lot of love for being the bad guy...but I can never hate you oppa! Just though he deserve some credit even though JHJ deserves all the love...
Required fields are marked *
This show is killing me! I super love Han Kang! But I was wondering why did Ji Hyun frown when she saw the lover (tarot card) what does it mean?
I searched for it and here is goes.
THE LOVERS TAROT CARD: It's possible when this card appears that you are feeling ambivalent about a relationship or situation in your life. It could be that your heart is telling you one thing, and your head, another.
For Yi Soo (the one who draw the card) I guess being together with Yi Kyung since she was a child kinda 'bores' him even at this point. I think he is having doubts on being with her even at this point. Too bad destiny already played the part on their story.
Required fields are marked *
Umm . . . choice but if I had to pick just one out of this episode, me thinks me likes Fisticuffs Kang the best. I'm swooning with you reliving that hug, Girlfriday.
Required fields are marked *
tough choice, that is.
Required fields are marked *
Yi Kyung and Yi Soo has to be together, or else I'll cry my heart out...huhuhu
Required fields are marked *
He's already dead....for 5 years. So just start crying now.
The writer is so cruel, gave us the outcome and torture us with their cuteness.
Required fields are marked *
I wouldn't give up hope yet. Didn't the scheduler say there was a reason why he was working as a scheduler. To fulfill a promise or something after the term is up. Maybe he'll be able to live again. Like I've said before I don't care what the script writers have to pull I just hope Yi Soo & Yi Kyung are together in the end whether in human or ghost/spirit form.
Required fields are marked *
Hey maybe his body is alive in some place YK doesn't know about? We can hope right? :D
Required fields are marked *
I would totally be willing to bypass all reason for that, logic be screwed! :)
Required fields are marked *
Maybe his body is also in some random hospital in a coma? :) Ok, I really doubt that but then that would give him a good reason for being able to "come back to life"/wake up. :) I love love Yi-kung and Yi-Soo!!
I still like JHJ with LYW but it's so strange cause sometimes when LYW is playing YK with JH spirit - I think of NGR even though it's LYW playing two parts! eeks.
What an awesome episode. Well, this MH - I hope he gets what's coming to him.
Required fields are marked *
Maybe his body was frozen after the accident?
What Nana said, Monkey Paw.
Required fields are marked *
agree... the two MUST be reunite !!!!
ahhhh... so heart braking!!
their sweet momment are so cute!!!
Lee Yo Won-Jung Il Woo's Chemistry are amazing !!!

luv this drama..... more yi soo and yi khung moment pls.....
Required fields are marked *
Yeah More Yi Kyung-Yi Soo PLEASE !!!!!
Really Love them !
Required fields are marked *
Required fields are marked *
the best
Required fields are marked *
I downloaded this episode like the hour it was available because i couldnt stand it anymore!!! AHHHHH KANG... you make my heart beat faster....
Required fields are marked *
KANG AHHHH!! Thanks for recapping :)
Required fields are marked *
where can i watch these episodes in real time? i can't wait to see them!!
Required fields are marked *
best episode so far!!!
i can't wait for next week's episode! it's like, 'let's get it on!' with this foursome!
yi soo and yi kyung story is really poignant... sniff sniff
Required fields are marked *
this was so saddddd... and i love how cleverly they connected everyone. it was brilliant!
Required fields are marked *
thanks for the recap!
this is a best episode!
Required fields are marked *
omgggg Show is slowly killing me... the flashback of the 4 of them with the tarot cards... the utter adorableness of yi kyung and reaper boy as students... kang-ahhh in all his glories. i can't wait till jihyun puts all the pieces together toooo... it's RIGHT in front of her and i'm just waiting for her to go waiiiiiiaminit here. sighs.
but i am loving that kang has it pretty much all figured out and is smart enough not to let it on. <3
you really do get all the great eps GF haha.
Required fields are marked *
This was so sad! I feel so bad for Yi Kyung and Scheduler!
But I find it funny that they both used to have straight hair and now they both have perms.
oh yeah, kang is super adorable
Required fields are marked *
Maybe they were too poor to get perms in their youth!
Required fields are marked *
No way. If they were too poor then how come yi kyung has so many nice clothes? Has anyone noticed the many many outfits jihyun puts on yikyung's body? Lots of shoes too.
Required fields are marked *
yea, and how come he has enough money to build a pension for her, if they were both orphans? kkk
Required fields are marked *
Maybe his parent's where killed in a tragic accident and they both had good life insurance policies. He was named sole benificiary but couldn't touch the money until he was an adult? So he was going to use this money to build her a pension?
Yi Kyung used to work in that hotel where Ji Hyung(in Yi kyung's body) found out about Min Ho and In Jung relation when she was in her way to get a resume to prove to Kang Ha that she worked in that hotel. So, that's why she was able to afford such outfit and shoes ;-)
Required fields are marked *
Exactly! Why people care so much about the materials thing in the drama? And Rina's comment was just too piratical lol ...
really really love this drama..... <3
it just shows two sweet couples han kang n ji hyun and so yi kyung with the sceduler !!!
become so addicedt to this drama !!!
but, really hope that the real ji hyun will back to alive and act as the real couple with han kang !!!! as soon... :(
Required fields are marked *
Great story and recap!
Why doesn't Scheduler know that Kang has it figured out? Certainly God knows!! Scheduler knows the thoughts of people at the funeral.
It seems like Ji-hyun and Yi-kyung are sort of merging somehow into each other. This is very interesting. Maybe this will make Ji-hyun more astute by the end of the show.
The fact that Kang hugs Ji-hyun in Yi-kyung's body seems to indicate that he is OK with both of them. He is showing true love by loving her spirit in someone else's body. Very mind boggling and refreshing!!! Kang is described well by girlfriday. I just feel, however, that he is indescribable!
Required fields are marked *
maybe God intended for Kang to find out and for the Scheduler not to notice....it's part of the master plan...
Required fields are marked *
The rule, as I recall it, was that SHE couldn't tell anyone by either her words or actions who she was. There didn't seem to be a clause spelled out in there for other people figuring it out, as long as she didn't confirm it.
Required fields are marked *
I am 87.56% sure that scheduler DOES know the fact that jihyun is using yikyung's body... But the fact of the matter is jihyun didn't tell him anything directly (like momosan said) so it's not jihyuns fault for him knowing thus she should not get penalized for it...
And I'm pretty sure kang seeing the real yikyung made him even more suspicious... And the reason he saw the real yk was due to his own curiosity Which again, is not jh's fault.
I don't know if he's 'okay' with the whole yikyung/jihyun body thing because the only reason he started feeling something for yi kyung was because she reminded him of ji Hyun Which ultimately means he has only liked jihyun this whole time.... Which is why he's workin his brain off to try and get jihyuns real self back.
It's incredibly sad that all he can do is hug yk/jh..... Cause jh thinks kang likes yk... And kang can't even tell her that he knows all that's going on or the fact that the person he truly loves is in fact her.... jihyun!!.. Oh gosh! I'm in dire need to know how this will all end :s
Kannnggg ahhhhhh~~~~!!!
Required fields are marked *
sorry the first sentence should have said 87.56% sure that scheduler DOES know that KANG knows about the fact that jihyu.......
LOL i got a little too excited and forgot the word Kang in that sentence haha ;;;
Required fields are marked *
so I may or may not have jumped up and down in my seat squealing at the sight of the four of them as high schoolers.....and high school Yi Soo and Yi Kyung? <3 <3

Tengo treinta y dos paquetes (I have thirty two packets)
It's the end of break time. Luis wants to finish counting his cards. Juan and Carlos don't want to get in trouble, so they go inside. Luis has nearly finished counting up all the cards when who should come out but Señor Blanco!
Tengo treinta y dos paquetes is one of the stories in Learn Spanish with Luis y Sofía, a story-based scheme for teaching Spanish in primary schools.

SAN FRANCISCO — Nikil Viswanathan and Joseph Lau have built the hottest new social app in America. Now the young men have to keep it from getting crushed by an anonymous slander campaign, overwhelmed servers and their urge to personally respond to thousands of messages from users.
The app, called Down to Lunch, is shockingly old-fashioned: It's all about meeting up with your friends in person. You send a message to some or all of your buddies saying that you have free time and are looking for company for a meal, a gym workout, even a church service. Whoever is interested responds and you arrange to meet.
"We're trying to make it feel like you live with your friends again in your freshman dorm," said Mr. Viswanathan, a Texas native who graduated from Stanford University in 2012 with a master's in computer science.
The concept is so simple that the first version was built in a day last spring. By last week, Down to Lunch, also known as DTL, was the No. 1 free social networking app for the iPhone and the No. 2 free iPhone app over all. (It doesn't rank quite as high on Android.)
But keeping a prime position on crowded smartphone screens isn't easy. Just ask Foursquare, which debuted with a splash in 2009 but has drifted into near irrelevance, or Yo, an app that lets you send the word "yo" to your friends, which momentarily topped the charts in 2014.
Mr. Viswanathan, a mile-a-minute talker, and Mr. Lau, who is more laid-back, meet one fundamental requirement for success: a stubborn belief that they have a great idea. Mr. Viswanathan worked on five previous services that tried to connect people, three of them with Mr. Lau, but Down to Lunch was the first to catch on.
The San Francisco start-up has needed little capital so far, and the founders have turned away dozens of potential investors. However, the men, both Stanford alumni, have not been shy about seeking advice from their array of Silicon Valley connections, including senior tech executives, venture capitalists and other company founders.
As thousands of app developers have discovered, attention spans are short, especially among the college and high school students that Down to Lunch is targeting. Dozens of competitors are vying to help people organize spontaneous gatherings, including Hangster, Shortnotice, Down to Hang and a Google app called Who's Down.
And a lot of things can go wrong on the road to becoming the next Snapchat.
Down to Lunch's servers went down last week after hitting limits imposed by their cloud computing provider, forcing the start-up to devise a work-around. A human error derailed sign-ups for six hours on Monday.
In addition to typical start-up problems — lack of sleep, inadequate staffing, technical malfunctions — Mr. Viswanathan and Mr. Lau have also been battling an anonymous social media campaign claiming that Down to Lunch is used for sex trafficking.
The assertions, some describing encounters with suspicious strangers, are dubious. Down to Lunch is designed to allow communications only between people who know each other and have each other's phone number.
Kirsta Melton, who heads the human trafficking division of the Texas attorney general's office, said that she looked into the app and found no evidence supporting the allegations.
"Unless you have random strangers in your address book or someone stole your phone, it's unlikely that this app could be used for human trafficking," she said.
It's not clear who is behind the smear campaign, although Mr. Viswanathan and Mr. Lau believe it might be a competitor. They traced the accusations back to several Twitter accounts. Twitter temporarily suspended one account and appears to have blocked offending tweets from others. Apple and Google have also removed app-store reviews that mention the trafficking allegations.
But that has not stopped worried users from contacting Mr. Viswanathan or Mr. Lau or simply deleting the app. Mr. Viswanathan said one school administrator even called him about it.
Despite the damage the trafficking accusations have caused, there is no question that Down to Lunch has struck a chord with young people. After the app appeared on the University of Notre Dame's campus, for example, 15 percent of the student body downloaded it within 12 hours, Mr. Viswanathan said.
Aakash Malhotra, a freshman at the University of Georgia who downloaded the app last September, said it helped him build friendships on campus. "We have enough apps on our phone that give us information or entertain us," he said. "We'd rather have an app to help us connect in person."
Until February, Mr. Viswanathan and Mr. Lau were the only employees. The six-person company still operates from the loft-style apartment that the founders share in San Francisco's South of Market neighborhood.
Whiteboards cover one wall, laying out the top tasks for the day and week. Mash notes from fans are posted as inspiration. Leaky takeout containers have colonized the kitchen, and Mr. Lau often stashes McDonald's breakfast burritos in the refrigerator to fuel marathon coding sessions.
Mr. Viswanathan, 28, interned at Microsoft, Google and Facebook, where he sat right outside the glass-walled office of Mark Zuckerberg, the co-founder and chief executive, and occasionally played chess with him.
Mr. Lau, 26, was an engineering intern at LinkedIn. When the job wound down, LinkedIn's chairman and co-founder, Reid Hoffman, personally implored him to stay. Mr. Lau declined and later went to Pinterest.
While the pair has not been shy about tapping their networks for help, they have eschewed most of the usual marketing tactics for a start-up.
They have avoided publicity, refusing most interview requests. When Product Hunt, a service that highlights new apps, opened a discussion about Down to Lunch two months ago, Mr. Viswanathan quickly posted a note saying, "Haha what how is this on product hunt — can we take this down?"
And in an industry where an investment from a top venture capitalist confers immediate credibility, "they've been pushing everyone away, even the who's who of investing," said Cameron Teitelman, the chief executive of StartX, a nonprofit for Stanford entrepreneurs that has helped the company.
Mr. Lau explained, "If we take time out to raise money, that's time we're not working on the product. That's time that users can't talk to us. That's time that we're not keeping servers up."
The founders and their small team have instead focused on improving the app. When they have a new version to test, they drive across the Bay Bridge to the University of California, Berkeley, to get feedback from students.
They try to respond personally to the thousands of messages they get from users every week. At one point, Mr. Viswanathan was getting so many texts that his iPhone's messaging app froze. The problem stumped even Apple's V.I.P. support team, which got involved after Mr. Viswanathan emailed Apple's chief executive, Timothy D. Cook, for help.
The founders are also wrestling with a question faced by developers everywhere: How hard do you push your users to recruit friends to download your app?
Last week, they added a button that allowed people to invite all of their contacts with one click. But many people consider such requests to be spam, and Twitter was already filled with complaints from people who received unwanted Down to Lunch invitations.
After a couple of days, the pair decided to disable the mass-invitation feature.
Although their lives are stressful, the founders say they are having a blast.
"We know we can build something that improves the lives for every single person on the planet," Mr. Viswanathan said. "It sounds kind of crazy, but we're going to do it."

Product Description
World Literature: Ivan Turgenev – Fathers and Sons
World Literature: Ivan Turgenev – Fathers and Sons
Fathers and Sons might be regarded as the first wholly modern novel in Russian Literature (Gogol's Dead Souls, another main contender, was referred to by the author as a poem or epic in prose as in the style of Dante's Divine Comedy, and was at any rate never completed). The novel introduces a dual character study, as seen with the gradual breakdown of Bazarov's and Arkady's nihilistic opposition to emotional display, especially in the case of Bazarov's love for Madame Odintsova.
The fathers and sons of the novel refers to the growing divide between the two generations of Russians, and the character Yevgeny Bazarov, a nihilist who rejects the old order.
Turgenev wrote Fathers and Sons as a response to the growing cultural schism that he saw between liberals of the 1830s/1840s and the growing nihilist movement. Both the nihilists (the "sons") and the 1830s liberals sought Western-based social change in Russia. Additionally, these two modes of thought were contrasted with the Slavophiles, who believed that Russia's path lay in its traditional spirituality.

Meaning of Channel Dynamics
Products of any company should be sent to sale – centers for selling out. The way used to send goods/products of a company to consumers is called distribution channel. Distribution channels may not be same forever. Distribution channel should be changed according to environmental changes. Changing of channels according to time is called channel dynamics. As the marketing is dynamic, so the distribution channel is dynamic. It does not remain in traditional structure. It also remains changing and developing according to time and is applied accordingly.
|New persons and new organizations enter in marketing channel system at different times. The functions and roles of such channel members become different according to the changes of time. So, distribution channel does not remain same for long, but remain changing. The channels unsuitable to the new behavior
Channel Role
Each member involved in channel has his own roles. Such role may be leadership providing role and also may be subordinate or follower's role. If any change takes place in existing roles of the members, help may increase or conflicts appear. If any change does not come in the roles of channel members, only then marketing channel system can work well. So, roles of all channel members should be clear. Only then all the channel members can perform their responsibilities. As a result, all the activities of distribution channel become fruitful.
Channel Power
The capacity that can change channel members involved in distribution is called power. Channel leader persuades and controls the channel members. Mostly, channel power emerges from following five sources:
1. Reward power
The capacity to give financial or non-financial reward to the channel members involved in distribution is called reward power. Mostly, the producers use such type of reward power. Nowadays, this power has become very popular.
2. Coercion power
The power to punish, frighten, threaten etc. to all the channel members is called coercion power. Under this power the channel members are forced to perform any work. Such power can be used by producers against wholesalers and retailers.
3. Referent power
Referent power comes out from intense desire of any channel member to be involved in channel system. Many middlemen desire to be involved for dealing with best brand of products. due to such desire of middlemen, producers may use referent power.
4. Expert power
Expert power is acquired from long experience and special knowledge. Every channel member cannot use this power. Only those who have special knowledge and experience can use this power.
5. Legitimate power
The power which can influence/persuade and control channel members is called legitimate power. Ownership of reputed brand can provide this type of power. This types of powers makes every business just and regular.
Channel Conflict
Good relation and mutual coordination is needed among channel members in order to achieve the goal of distribution channel. As many members are involved in distribution channel, there appears conflicting environment. All the channel members may not have same wants, interest, beliefs, objectives and attitudes but may be different from person to person. As a result, conflict arises in distribution channel. Absence of harmony among channel members in their objective and functions causes conflict in distribution channel. Ideological difference, poor information, perceptual differences, unclear role, goal incompatibility etc. cause conflict.
Channel conflict is related to human behavior. The humans have to perform their works remaining within a certain organizational environment. Misunderstanding may occur among them for several reasons. Such conflict may arise among individuals, groups, places, situations, organizations etc. In this way, conflict may arise between two sides or more in different situations. So, channel conflict can be resolved through talks, change in objective, improvement in communication and restructure of channel. So, conflict should be minimized as soon as possible not letting it spread from certain limit.
Resolution of Channel Conflict
The task of solving channel conflict is also called conflict management. Conflict surfaces for one or the other reason, but it should be not be let go beyond certain limit. If such conflict is not solved in time, it invites a great accident. So, conflict should be solved immediately by identifying its responsible causes. Generally, the following methods can be applied to solve conflict:
1. Problem solving
Various types of conflicts can emerge in distribution channel. They should be solved as soon as possible. Problem solving method is one of many methods. According to this method, all the channel members sit together, interact and find a common solution of the problem. Channel deader or any other member can also do such work.
2. Goal modification
Channel conflict can also be solved by modifying goal. Under this method all the channel members sit together, scrutinize the causes of the conflict and new goal is formed. Such goal should be accepted by all channel members.
3. Persuasion
Channel conflict can be solved by clearly interpreting subject matter or persuading the channel members. Under this, channel leader persuades and calls all channel members to work for the interest of group members. In this method, the channel leader uses his power to persuade or convince the members and solve the conflict.
4. Bargaining
In this bargaining method, all the channel members sit together, discuss the responsible causes for the conflict and agree on a new contract. Neutral member plays an important role in facilitating new agreement. Such agreement should be accepted by all the channel members, channel conflict is automatically solved. But, if the channel conflict is to be solved promptly, this method is not suitable.
5. Diplomacy
Conflict among channel members should be minimized at certain level or solved. Diplomatic behavior of management helps in solving conflict. When the conflict appears, the management should give notice or information to all the channel members that it will be properly solved finding out the responsible causes. Because of mannered conduct, equal behavior, evidential logics of the management, channel members feel satisfied by which the conflict can be slowly tapered down.
6. Improvement in communication
Distribution channel also needs different information and notices. So, information should be clear, meaningful, and simple. Due to weak information system, conflict arises in channel. Such conflict can be tapered down through improvement in information system. But improvement in communication should be on both sides. Otherwise information becomes meaningless.

Mathy Dice Games
Over the recent holiday weekend, I brought out my copy of Dice Games Properly Explained by Reiner Knizia (@ReinerKnizia). I enjoy playing dice games at home with my family as well as playing dice games in class with students. Dice games often have simple rules and typically don't require of lot of material other than dice. Dice are a great mathematics manipulative that can be used with wide range of ages. Even very young students can practice subitizing numbers from 1 to 6 by reading the dots on the face of the dice. Below are a few of my favourite mathy dice games.
Shut the Box
The object of the game is to cover as many of the 9 boxes as possible. Any numbers left uncovered at the end of your turn are added together. "Shutting the box", or covering all the numbers, leads to a perfect score of 0. The player with the lowest score is the winner.
On the players turn, they roll the dice and add them together. You can then cover any boxes that are not already shut that sum to the total you rolled. For example, if I rolled a 2 and 4 my total is 6. I could cover the 6 box, the 5 and 1, the 4 and 2 or the 1, 2 and 3 boxes if they are uncovered. If I can't partition my number to cover any boxes then my turn is over and I add up any uncovered boxes to determine my score.
This is a fun game with some strategy to it. It really focuses on early addition skills as well as partitioning numbers in a variety of way. It is a great game for a lower elementary classroom.
NS Outcomes:
Primary - N04 Students will be expected to represent and describe numbers 2 to 10 in two parts, concretely and pictorially.
Mathematics 1 - N04 Students will be expected to represent and partition numbers to 20.
Mathematics 2 - N10 Students will be expected to apply mental mathematics strategies to quickly recall basic addition facts to 18 and determine related subtraction facts.
Even Minus Odd
In this game, players take turns throwing six dice. You then total all the even dice together and all the odd dice together. Subtract the odd total from the even total to get your score. Take counters from the centre of the table equal to your score. If you have a negative total, pay that number of counters to the centre (don't worry, if you don't have any counters left, you're still in the game). When all the counters are gone from the centre, the game is over and the player with the most counters wins. Start with about 10 counters in the centre or more if you have a large group playing.
NS Outcomes:
Mathematics 2 - N02 Students will be expected to demonstrate if a number (up to 100) is even or odd.
Mathematics 2 - N10 Students will be expected to apply mental mathematics strategies to quickly recall basic addition facts to 18 and determine related subtraction facts.
Game of Six
In this category game, you need only one die and a score sheet. Players take turns rolling the die over six rounds. One your turn, roll the die and decide which category to score. Multiply the number on your die by the category value (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6). Each category can be used only once each game. For example, if you roll a six on your first turn, you could score it in category 6 and earn 6x6 = 36 points. At the end of the six rounds, each player adds up their total points. The player with the most points wins.
NS Outcomes:
Mathematics 4 - N05 Students will be expected to describe and apply mental mathematics strategies, to recall basic multiplication facts to 9 × 9, and to determine related division facts.
Mathematics 5 - N03 Students will be expected to describe and apply mental mathematics strategies and number properties to recall, with fluency, answers for basic multiplication facts to 81 and related division facts.
The focus of this game is on the order of operations for whole numbers. Five dice are rolled in this game and the player who rolls the dice calls out any number they wish between 33 and 99. This is the target number for the round. Once the dice are rolled, players create an expression using all five numbers on the dice and any operations (+, - , x, ÷). The goal is to create an expression whose value is as close as possible to the target number without going over. Divisions must work out without a remainder. Players secretly write down their expression. Once everyone has an expression (or a reasonable amount of time has passed), players reveal their expression. The player closest to the target scores a zero. All other players score the difference between their expression's value and the values that was closest (to a maximum of 5). Play as many rounds as their are players so each person can have a round setting the target.
NS Outcomes:
Mathematics 5 - N03 Students will be expected to describe and apply mental mathematics strategies and number properties to recall, with fluency, answers for basic multiplication facts to 81 and related division facts.
Mathematics 6 - N09 Students will be expected to explain and apply the order of operations, excluding exponents, with and without technology (limited to whole numbers).
A Focus on Mathematical Content
There are lots of really fun dice games in Reiner's book although some are more suited to a mathematics classroom than others. I also really like the chapter on the theory of dice and probability (chapter 3).
I think the games above are not only fun, but closely related to mathematics outcomes. A recent post I read from Hilary Kreisberg (@Dr_Kreisberg) discussed a protocol to assess good classroom tasks. One dimension of her protocol was to assess the mathematical content of a task and ask yourself if the task aligns well with specific grade-level standards. I think this is an important aspect to remember and not just play games that are fun, but ones that also offer meaningful mathematical practice.
Functions on the Floor
I recently had the opportunity to work with a calculus class on curve sketching and how derivatives affect the shape of a graph. The classroom teacher and I brainstormed some ideas about how we might infuse some hands on activity into the lesson. We decided to try an activity called Functions on the Floor. I originally saw an outline of this activity in a presentation from Liana Dawson called Hands-On Calculus Activities.
Warm up - Functions and Their Derivatives
We started the class out with a Demos activity called Functions and Their Derivatives. We had students work in pairs on this activity. In the first part of the activity, students are presented with the graphs of three functions and they have to decide which is the original function, which is the derivative and which is the second derivative. In the second part of the activity, students create their own challenge and then get an opportunity to try out the challenges created by other groups. I really like the collaboration and discussions creating by working on these challenges.
Functions on the Floor Instructions
After the warm up, we transitioned to the Functions on the Floor activity. We used masking tape to create several coordinate systems on the floor with the x- and y-axis labeled from -3 to 3. At each of these stations was a list of information about a continuous function. Students used a small rope to create a function on the axis that satisfied all of the conditions listed. They then drew their function into a Desmos activity I had prepared. Using the drawings in the Desmos activity we could monitor students activity and plan for our review of the functions at the end of class. We heard some really constructive conversations taking place. The Google slides for the stations can be found here.
Sharing our Work
I thought that this activity was a nice way to incorporate both hands-on physical problem solving while still leveraging some of the power of online tools like Desmos. I learned a few lessons doing this activity and the classroom teacher and I had a productive discussion after the lesson. We talked about how the lesson went and where we saw areas for improvement. We both agreed that eight stations was more than needed as it took some time for the discussions in the student groups to come up with a reasonable graph. We thought that some of the stations could have fewer constraints to consider as well. Also, I think next time I would use something besides rope. I had pretty inexpensive rope and it wasn't as pliable as I would have liked. I think a thick piece of yarn might have worked just a well. If you give this activity a try, let me know how it goes.

Calculus 12 C5 - Apply the First and Second Derivative Tests to determine the local extreme values of a function
Calculus 12 C6 - Determine the concavity of a function and locate the points of inflection by analyzing the second derivative
Spinning Tops
We started the lesson by reviewing strategies for decimal division. To create a need for division we had an activity where students found an average. We used the Estimating Time activity from NRICH. We challenged several student volunteers to estimate 5 seconds, giving each student three tries. We then asked the class to find the average of each student by dividing the total of their three attempts by three (just a note that students don't have a formal introduction to mean, median and mode until grade 7 SP01). After students finished, we highlighted several strategies that we saw student using and had the students explain their division strategies. We saw students making equal groups with base 10 blocks, partial quotients and the standard long division algorithm. Check out Graham Fletcher's progression of division video for some background on division strategies.
Designing a Spinning Top
Testing Designs
Groups used a stopwatch (on their phone app or on https://stopwatch.onlineclock.net/ using a Chromebook) to see how long each top would spin. The tested each design three times and recorded their times. They then used division to find the average spin time for each design. They used this data to decide which of their designs was the best.
Sharing Designs
At then end of the class we led a class discussion about their design process. We asked students what characteristics made a top spin longest: size of the top (number of cubes used), shape of the top (symmetry). How it was spun seemed to be a big factor. One student spun the top from the sides instead of the top and was able to get a long spin (average of about 25 seconds).
