Caught Between Her Ex and Her “Kept Girl” 😬 | Moonshadow EP 3 Reaction

Episode 3 „Can’t fight the Moonlight“ starts right where we left off last week, as Sun met Chan with Key. Chan tells Sun to say what she wants to say, but Sun wants to enjoy the moment and asks to get to know her girl. Key just smiles at Chan as Sun tells her to take good care of her sister, arguing that she can be stern, hotheaded and irritable sometimes, but she’s actually a sweet person. Key claims that no matter what she’s like, she can handle her. Sun claims that Key has the confidence and likes her and argues that this is the kind of girl who can handle her, and she has her approval. Key thanks her for it and claims she will do her best. Chan argues that Sun should leave, but Sun tells her not to try and get rid of her. Chan wants to know what she wants to talk to her about, and Sun claims to see her today because she wants to talk to her about Jay, whom she thinks she wants to get back with her. But she doesn’t want that to happen, and wants her to promise her that she won’t get back with her. Key looks at Sun as Chan argues that isn’t she hurt enough because of her, and Chan wants her to stop talking about Jay, but Sun won’t stop, she argues, as she doesn’t want to see her falling apart again. Chan tells her she should leave again, and Key should as well, as she wants to be alone that night. She gets up and leaves. After the credits, Jay checks has checked into the Crescent and gets a drink from the staff who asks how long is she going to stay and she replies indefinitely. The staff claims that it’s their pleasure and leaves, as Chan comes in and asks what she is doing there, and Jay just claims to try out her hotel service, arguing het hotel is the best. Chan thinks she should stay at another hotel, and offers to arrange it for her, but Jay just says no to that offer and will stay there. Chan doesn’t know what she is planning, but argues that it’s not going to happen. Jay gets close to Chan and claims she that can’t run away from her and that she is going to get back with her, arguing that Chan and her can never really be over. Chan asks her not to cause a problem at her hotel, and Jay claims she isn’t there to cause a problem. She stays there because she wants to monitor the restaurant to make sure everything is in order. Chan asks if that is all, and Jay nods. Chan accepts that lie, welcomes her to the Crescent and leaves. Next, Jay meets with Phu, who thinks she is coming on a little too strong and makes Chan uncomfortable. But Jay claims he knows her well, and argues that she will never get her back if she doesn’t do this. She claims that from now on, she will discuss all the details of the restaurant opening with Chan, and tells her to just set up a meeting with her for her. Phu claims that it’s also his restaurant and wants to attend the meeting as well, but Jay just says sorry, claims he doesn’t need to attend it and tells him to just make the appointment. Then, she tells him to leave, and Phu claims he will pay her back as soon as possible, and when he pays her back, he will not help her with Chan anymore. If Chan refuses to get back with her, he wants her to move on. But Jay claims that she will make her love her again as he leaves. Chan thinks about Jay at work and has trouble focusing. She thinks back at high school where Jay and her kissed over a water dispenser, and Jay thought she liked boys, but Chan claimed it’s because of her that she realized she liked girls, and Jay asked her what if one day she would change her mind and liked a boy. But Chan claimed it would be okay, as long as she liked her back then, that’s enough for her. (Is that what happened?) Chan tells herself that it’s time to move on, and not to be a fool. She calls Key and asks her to come see her. At night Chan and Key arrive at the hotel and Key thanks her for buying her an entire new wardrobe, but Chan claims she doesn’t need to thank her as she is her sugar baby. Key claims it’s too bad that the store didn’t sell any nightgowns, but Chan thinks she doesn’t need them and Key agrees. Chan calls he a perv, but Key claims that Chan was changing her fashion style, and argues don’t her nightgowns need to be changed too? Chan thinks she should go to work and argues she’ll be late. Key wants to know if Chan isn’t going to watch her sing at night, and Chan claims she has reached her limit of spending time with people for today. Key asks where she should put the clothes and Chan offers to take them to her condo first, with Kay arguing that she can move in with her, so she doesn’t have to take them back to her home. Chan just tells her to go to work, Key thanks her so much, claims she had a great time that day, kisses her on the cheek and leaves. Chan thinks about her and smiles… … as Key performs “Red kiss” at the bar with Jay in attendance. After the performance, her band mate praise her for being so dressed up that day, and Key claims that someone bought her that dress. They think that she never lets anyone tell her what to wear, and think she is serious about her, but Key just tells them to stop teasing her, and asks them whether their partners are looking for them. They want to talk more about her new crush but get called by their partners, so they leave her alone. Jay claims that she’s a talented singer as she approaches, and Key tells her to take a seat which she does claiming they run into each other quite often as she said. Key claims they should tell each other their name, but Jay likes it that way, and Key claims she likes things to be mysterious, with Jay arguing that it’s fun. Key asks if Jay is afraid that she will fall for her, but she claims she isn’t and asks the same question back at her. But Key claims that she already has someone she likes, and asks her if she also has someone. Jay confirms it, but claims that there’s a problem: she’s really mad at her arguing that it’s her own fault. Key proposes she try and make up with her, and Jay claims that she is trying, but that it’s very hard. But Key claims that if she can’t move on from her, she needs to do everything so she can go on with her, even if that means to change herself, she needs to do it, so she can be with her. Jay (correctly) thinks changing herself might be a bad idea, but Key argues it’s the price she has to pay, and argues that sometimes, for love, she has to do it. Jay likes what she says and gets it now. Key tells her to keep fighting (oh, the irony…) as Chan calls and tells Key to come up to her room. She excuses herself and leaves with Jay saying good luck to her. To herself, Jay asks Chan to give her another chance. Key goes up to Chan’s room, and after a while, Chan comes out of her bedroom wearing a nightgown and blinds her with her hands, claiming she caught the little perv. Kay asks what she is going to do to her now that she has caught her, and asks if she should take a shower first, but Chan claims she still smells fine. She kisses her all over (but not on the mouth) as the door opens, and Jay comes in and catches them. She calls Chan, who then notices her and calls her Jay, and Jay and Key are shocked to meet each other again, as Chan asks how she got in. Jay claims to still have the key card as she acknowledges Key and Key learns that she is Chan’s ex. Chan asks if Key is her new girlfriend, but Chan claims that it’s complicated. Jay asks her what her relationship with Key is, and Chan admits that she’s just her sugar baby. Jay claims to Key that she knows now why she shouldn’t tell her her name, and argues that she doesn’t think they can be friends. Chan wants to know if she met Key before, and Jay claims that Key should leave, because she wants to talk to her girlfriend. But Kay argues that they broke up and asks what right does she have to tell her to leave, claiming Chan is no longer her girlfriend, but Jay argues that neither is she. Jay argues to Chan that they need to talk, but Chan argues that she has no right to tell her what to do, reminds her that they broke up, and tells her to leave. Jay excuses herself saying she’ll see her to Key, and Chan tells her to leave as well after Jay has gone, claiming that she has no right and reminds her of her status. Key leaves as well looking sad. The next day, Chan is thinking about calling Key, but decides against it. Her assistant Game comes in and tells her Phu wants to see her. Phu apologizes as he shouldn’t have asked Jay for help, but Chan isn’t mad about that, she’s mad at him because when he has a problem, he never comes to her. Phu claims he didn’t want her to be disappointed in him, but Chan claims that’s exactly what she is right now, and claims he needs to do everything to make Jay leave this hotel. But Phu claims Jay told her she needs to see her right now and gave him an ultimatum. He claims she needs to go see her, and argues she will leave only when told by Chan, but Chan claims she will not leave, never. Peach has lunch with Key and notices that she isn’t eating, she asks her little sister what is wrong, arguing that she’s looking so down. Key claims she’s okay, but Peach doesn’t believe that and thinks she lying, claiming she always avoids looking her in her eye when she does. She holds her face tightly until she agrees to tell her what’s really going on. Peach asks her why she cried, because she could see she cried all night as her eyes are all swollen. Chan meets Jay at the hotel and asks her to stop doing this, claiming she always has to get things her way, and Jay admits that she knows her well. Chan asks her to leave her hotel, but Jay won’t leave until she gets back with her. Chan wants to know if she thinks doing this will help her getting her back, but Jay takes her hand and claims that Chan knows she doesn’t care about methods, she only cares about results. She vows to do everything to get her back, and slings her arms around her, as she claims to really miss her. But Chan claims they broke up a long time ago and asks her not to do this. But Jay claims that she is back now, she came back to her and will never leave again, she promises. She argues that they will go back to how they were before. And we get a flashback of happier time, when Jay gifted the piano to Chan to show how much she loved her, and Chan promised to take good care of Jay’s piano, but Jay corrected her that is was their piano. Jay claims that Chan is her first love, as Chan remembers getting rings for them, but later getting back to an empty room with a note by Jay saying that she was sorry. Chan claims that it’s true that they are each other’s first love, but that for her, their relationship ended a long time ago. Jay sheds a tear as she claims she can’t accept it, she knows that Chan still loves her and she can’t run away from her feelings. She pleads with her to give her another chance and hugs her. But Chan is sorry and leaves her alone crying. Peach is shocked that Key agreed to be Chan’s sugar baby, she is worried about Kay, and think that dad and big mom will be crushed if they find out. Key pleads with her not to tell them, and Peach wants to know if she agreed to be Chan’s sugar baby because of mom, Key denies it, but Peach thinks she is lying and believes that she thinks she doesn’t deserve her. She claims that she and everyone else in their family feels that Key is very important to them. Key knows but doesn’t feel confident. Peach takes her hand and claims it’s okay, as Key asks what she should do about Chan. Peach tells her to fight for her, and argues that if she thinks she cannot move on from her, she needs to do everything so she can go on with her. (Where have I heard that before… 😉). She claims that Key didn’t do anything wrong and didn’t steal her from someone. If she thinks Chan is the one for her, then she should go for it. Later, Chan returns to her room to find Key has decorated it with many candles. She comes to her wearing a nightgown, and Chan rushes into her arms and starts kissing her everywhere (except on the mouth). And Key wants her to know this: it’s Key’s job to help her forget Jay and from now on, Chan will remember only her. Chan thanks her and apologizes for putting her through this, she asks her to hold her like this all night, and Key is happy to do it. Key tells Chan that she loves her, and claims that even though Chan still doesn’t love her, it’s okay. She claims that she will always love her (insert Doly Parton reference here) and won’t leave her. Chan thanks her as she starts to cry, and Key kisses her forehead as Chan claims she is so sorry. And that’s where the episode ends. ___ First of all: no Simba! That was an emotional episode with both Jay and Key clinging desperately to Chan, but I think that Key has the better chance of getting her than Jay, not only because they are the main characters, but also because Jay apparently hurt Chan deeply in the past. While we don’t yet know how Key and Chan are connected and what (I presume) Pin has to do with it, I’m interested enough to continue watching this well-acted drama, even as the setup feels a little too convenient and artificial to me.
