May I Help You Episodes 3 and 4 Highlights
Dong-joo, a funeral director and Tae-hee, an errand service worker keeps finding each other at different encounters. Interestingly, Dong-joo grants the wishes of deceased people hoping to fulfill a cryptic mission after meeting a dead young boy. Meanwhile, Tae-hee has been caught in the requests of people which leads him to Dong-joo.
“We know a lot of each other’s secret when we’re not that close.”
Finding Dong-joo, they bicker about her illegal entry to the house. She proceeds with her mission to get the 100,000,000 KRW money check the deceased ajussi left his wife. Luckily, she finds it but left the place upside down for Tae-hee to clear.
The message she relayed to Tae-hee also made the dead ajussi’s wife happy as he kept his promise to her.
Just when Vincent is feeling hopeless about his business going bankrupt, A Dime A Job gets a boost because of the confession of the ajumma who got the 100,000,000 KRW left by her dead husband.
The bad rumors got dispelled and business is back with regular errand requests.
Tae-hee and Dong-joo meet again for dinner and get chummier.
Dong-joo gets permission from her father to move out with the excuse that she wants to concentrate on studying. But it’s really her ghost request send-off missions.
Coincidentally, she becomes a renter at the building where A Dime A Job is situated.
“I can see ghosts.”
Dong-joo’s next mission puts her in a disheartening situation as the deceased involved is a mother about to give birth to her child.
Empathizing with her pain, she tries to help with her request to speak with her husband.
While trying to call her husband, the funeral parlor which usually transforms into a different place when Dong-joo communicates with the dead suddenly switches back to reality.
The deceased mother who is talking to her strangely suddenly lost consciousness as well when the door opens and reveals Tae-hee who was asked by Dong-joo’s senior to bring her the ordered food.
Surprised to see Dong-joo in super close proximity to the dead mother, Tae-hee can’t believe her revelation that she can see ghosts.
Worried about the dead mother’s warning that her husband might kill himself, they search for him when he disappeared.
“If you are sincere enough your wish will be granted.”
Blaming Tae-hee for causing the conversation with the dead mom to be interrupted, Dong-joo relentlessly tries to look for the chief mourner.
Bothered by Dong-joo’s claim, Tae-hee makes an effort to look for the chief mourner as well.
Luckily, through the information Dong-joo receives about a story the dead mom sent to a radio station, she and Tae-hee prevented the husband from committing suicide.
Correspondingly, the chief mourner was able to say goodbye to his wife and firmly holds on to their love and promise to be together again in their next lives.
May I Help You Episodes 3 and 4 Musings
It seems like the link between Dong-joo and Tae-hee runs deep. The boy who kickstarted Dong-joo’s psychic ability appears to be connected to Tae-hee. Since we met him in bits so far, we can infer that he holds a crucial meaning to the series.
On that note, Tae-hee’s nightmare about the little boy asking why he was murdered by Tae-hee peeks at probable intertwining clues that would manifest clearly in the coming episodes. Additionally, a decisive situation surely would make him believe that Dong-joo is telling the truth about her psychic ability.
Capitalizing on messages about death and living, May I Help You has so far featured affecting stories relevant to a wide range of audiences. Foreseen disheartening moments and instances of regrets are expected in the plot. Nevertheless, we can see the attention to carving life lessons.
This week’s episodes particularly put emphasis on braving the pain of losing someone permanently. Possibly, a constant or general theme in the duration of the series.
Amidst the anticipated featured weekly stories, the uncanny encounters between Dong-joo and Tae-hee will also unfold.
Notably, well-functioning supporting cast members and guest actors add vibrance to the narrative with their interactions with the lead couple.
Also, Hyeri is surely making an effort to alter a different kind of “vibrant character” in her works, and it is quite noticeable just like what she’s doing in May I Help You. Similarly, Lee Jun Young is also successful to warm characters that switch from cold to kind.
Will Dong-joo and Tae-hee resolve their misunderstandings soon?
Join Butler Kim and Dong-joo in their journey of granting wishes to departed ones in May I Help You. International fans can watch on Prime Video.
