Things are really tricky in these two episodes, so please pay close attention to the following recaps!
Let’s highlight the key recap points from episodes 37 and 38 of “It’s Beautiful Now”.
“It’s Beautiful Now” Episodes 37 & 38 Recap:
- Soo Jung is in Disbelief
After finally encountering her biological father, Soo Just is in huge disbelief. She could not believe her biological father was Kyung Chul all along. He is also the grandfather of her soon-to-be son-in-law. Kyung Chul is also in disbelief as well. He was ashamed not to be able to recognize his own daughter prior to finding out the secret like this. When Soo Jung came home, without having any conversation with Kyung Chul, she was in deep shock and didn’t know what to say to her daughter, Mi Rae. Soo Jun discreetly has a conversation with Mi Rae, telling her to rethink the whole marriage. But Soo Jung takes it back right away.
- Jung Hoo Visit Yu Na’s Macaron Shop
Jung Hoo became a regular at the Macaron shop. Even though he says he really enjoys the macaron, I think he definitely has an alternate motive for visiting here. Anyway, Jung Hoo tells Yu Na that he is soon going to become a family with Soo Jae since Mi Rae is marrying Soo Jae’s older brother. Yu Na is a little shocked. Yu Na’s boss suggests having dinner all together, and Jun Hoo excitedly agrees. He reserves a restaurant, and everyone is a bit flustered because it seems like a very high-end, expensive place. Yu Na’s boss said she would treat them, but when she saw the menu, the price was way beyond her budget. However, Jung Hoo breaks the uncomfortable situation by telling them that the dinner is on him. Yu Na and the boss are very relieved and choose an expensive course from the menu.

Soo Jung believed that her parents left her at an orphanage and had abandoned her all this time, but Min Ho corrected her by telling her that wasn’t true. That her parents left her at the orphanage only temporarily.

- Kyung Chul Meets Soo Jung
They finally sit down one on one and have a conversation. Soo Jung questions Kyung Chul why he had to abandon her, but he tells her that he never did. He lost his wife to cancer when she was around two years old, and he caught an illness that was contagious.

Hyun Jae and his grandfather are not related by blood so he does not have blood relations with Mi Rae either. So what’s stopping them from getting married?
Exactly! But it is rather a complex situation because they cannot be legally married on document. They can have the wedding ceremony but can never be legally married couple on document .. :/
