“Beauty and Mr. Romantic” Episode 21 & 22 Recap:

Ji Young is startled to see Pil Seung waiting for her late at night. Pil Seung asks inquisitively about Ji Young’s whereabouts and declares that he will now be her oppa, becoming very protective of her. Ji Young scoffs and tells him that Jin Dan is not someone he should worry about because they are now dating. Knowing this already from eavesdropping, Pil Seung acts as if he is unaware and asks Ji Young to date himself instead.
During Pil Seung’s drama shoot, there happened to be a gap in the cast, and Ji Young filled it. Everyone was surprised by how good she was at acting. Ji Young feels a thrill when in the spotlight for some odd reason.
In desperate need of money, Mi Ja finds something she can bounce back to. She encounters a good-looking young lady and immediately thinks of becoming an agency CEO again; that is the only thing she has done her whole life and believes she’s good at. With her past connections, Mi Ja was able to get this new talent, Do Do, for a small role.
Jin Dan takes Ji Young on a date and even invites her to one of his apartments, suggesting she can freely move in. Ji Young finds Jin Dan being overly generous, unaware that the only reason he is being so kind is that he is substituting Ji Young for Do Ra and also to accompany him.
Geum Ja helps Ma Ri go on a date with Pil Seung for her own benefit. She believes that if Pil Seung marries Ma Ri, who is part of the chaebol family, Geum Ja and the rest of her family will become rich. Ma Ri is ecstatic to finally go on a date with Pil Seung, but Soo Yeon is livid when she hears about this. She cannot allow her secret biological son, Pil Seung, to date her other biological daughter, Ma Ri. Soo Yeon asks Jin Taek to send Ma Ri away to the States, but he strongly refuses because he is clueless about Pil Seung being Soo Yeon’s son.

Mi Ja, knowing that Pil Seung is the only source for her new talent Do Do to kickstart her acting career, visits his home without shame. There, she encounters Ji Young while having altercations with Pil Seung. However, they don’t seem to recognize her. Ji Young also overhears Pil Seung’s family talking about how Mi Ja led to her own daughter’s death. This leaves Ji Young with a negative impression of Mi Ja.

Pil Seung thinks she really needs to put a stop to this and kindly asks her to stop because he has a boyfriend.
Ji Young occasionally fills in as a background actor. Do Ra’s former manager sees her acting so well and approaches her to be his first actress in his agency. Pil Seung is worried sick that Ji Young might fall back into her acting career. However, Ji Young finds joy and happiness while acting.
Myung Dong, unable to deny fate, goes out with Do Shik. They had several uncanny encounters in the past, but now they are finally together.

To make matters worse, he encounters his own mother Mi Ja there, who has visited to beg Pil Seung for a position for her actress.
