The Nice Guy- Episodes 9-10
🌷 Episode 9 “Home-Coming & Car-Wash Chaos” – The Nice Guy Recap 🌷
Hey Nice-Guy buddies! Ep 9 just dropped and it’s basically a hug sandwich sprinkled with spy sprinkles...let’s unpack:
Seok-kyung rings the doorbell at 2 a.m. like “Guess who’s back, back again?” The whole house erupts: kiddo sprint-hugs, Seok-hee squeals, Mom’s in happy tears. Dad’s thunder-cloud face almost explodes, but one look at his grandson and, poof, upgrade to icy-glare mode. He’ll take her in, just won’t chat. Baby steps, Papa Bear!
Seok-cheol returns from an adorable overnight trip with Mi-young (still wearing matching couple vibes) and immediately detours to sis-smush central. Big-bro smile level: MAX.
Tae-hoon’s goons keep whispering “Seok-cheol’s gonna stab you!” but our conflicted prince remembers Cinnamon-Roll-Seok holding his hand at the columbarium and hits PAUSE on any car-wash ambush. Moral compass: wobbly but working.
Seok-kyung finally walks into her son’s classroom for Parent’s Day, Byeong-soo in tow as honorary bodyguard / snack holder. Kid’s grin could power Seoul. We stan this impromptu family portrait!
Seok-cheol rolls up to HQ, slaps down a resignation letter like “I’m out, fam!” Senior side-eye warns of retaliation, but our boy just wants a clean slate (and maybe clean car—priorities). Tae-hoon hears the news over lunch, does the tiniest sad-puppy nod, then IMMEDIATELY orders a gang beat-down the second Seok-cheol leaves. Rude much? Luckily Byeong-soo is nearby, crashes the bully party, comedic punches fly, day saved by accidental timing. Talk about friendly fire fails!
Mi-young swings by to find Mom upgraded to a private suite, sounds fancy, smells fishy. Yup, Tae-hoon’s fingerprints all over it. She side-eyes so hard the door rattles. Sir, we said “care,” not “control.”
Ki-hong’s promoted to associate professor and could not be cuter. Seok-hee, however, is low-key plotting grad school abroad. She comes home bursting with plans, only to watch Dad count pennies for a shoe-box apartment. Empathy punch incoming... our hearts are soggy.
Sick boss Chang-soo pulls Seok-cheol aside: “I’m dying, take my crown.” (Cue dramatic choir.) But sneaky senior is eavesdropping from behind a plant like a villainous meerkat. Power-hungry whispers ahead, cliffhanger engaged!
🌸 Episode 10 “The Break-Up Truck” – The Nice Guy Recap 🌸
Hey Nice-Guy buddies! Ep 10 just pulled the emotional emergency brake and my heart is still skidding across the pavement, let’s hug it out while I recount the chaos:
Chang-soo slides the “Gang CEO” nameplate toward Seok-cheol like it’s a fun party favor. Our boy simply bows out: “Thanks, but I’m clocking out of crime.” Mic drop, door swish, moral compass intact... Cinnamon Roll remains un-toasted!
Tae-hoon’s earlier “love your folks while you can” speech replays in her head on loop. She meets freshly-ex-gang Seok-cheol, showers him in proud-girlfriend sparkles, and they plan a squeaky-clean future. We stan a power couple upgrade!
Cue villain playlist: Tae-hoon’s goon turns a delivery truck into a missile. BAM—Seok-cheol goes airborne, Byeong-soo sprints in yelling “That was NO fender-bender!” Hospital gown activated, Seok-cheol still phones Tae-hoon like “Dude, chill, I’m retired.” Niceness level: superhero.
A few bed-rest days later, Seok-cheol clocks in with the neighborhood resistance leader, yes, the one whose life he saved. New job description: community hugs and protest banners. Has anyone looked this cute holding a clipboard? Doubt it.
Seok-hee’s bags are half-packed for study-abroad glory, but Ki-hong’s promotion party is crashed by Hospital Director’s evil whisper: “Dump her and I’ll make you king.” Um, rude much? Tension thicker than hospital pudding.
Seok-kyung snips locks at a local salon, finally debt-honest with Byeong-soo. His response? “I like you, scissors and all...let’s budget together.” SWOON. Somebody give this man a rom-com spin-off!
Momma Mi-young takes a scary turn; Tae-hoon plays ambulance hero. Side-effect: he corners Mi-young with the classic “Leave him or I’ll burn the world” speech. She fires back eye-daggers, but worry lines creep in.
Seok-hee empties her savings jar (almost nine figures!) to help big bro, proving sister love > Swiss bank. Meanwhile, Mi-young decides the only way to protect Seok-cheol is… to break his heart. LIE #1 activated: “Sorry babe, can’t talk...Mom needs me.” They meet in a pretty park, she drops the “Let’s break up” bomb, and our cinnamon roll’s smile shatters like dropped meringue. Roll credits while I scream into my pillow!
So here we wait: Will Seok-cheol fight for love or fold? Can Tae-hoon be stopped before he wrecks everything? And how many more trucks can our hearts survive? Stay tuned, cupcake crew...next week promises bigger stakes and hopefully a reunion hug!
