Midnight Studio Episode 8 Recap

The beginning shows how Han Bom got possessed. Choi Hoon had met her on the street and followed her to her lawyer friend’s office. However, her friend reveals that many of Choi Hoon’s clients disliked him for his clingy behavior. As a result, he was on the verge of getting fired. He also has a criminal record and had been reported for stalking. When Choi Hoon discovered that Han Bom already knew of his secret and wanted to contact Ki Joo, he possessed her.

After the call, Ki joo rushes to the bridge and tells Choi Hoon to get out of Han Bom’s body but he refuses. Ki joo asks him why he stalked Na hyeon Joo and he responds that she abandoned him after getting a boyfriend. He used to be her reason for living but yet, as soon as she got a man, she forgot about him. Because of this, he decided to make her remember she needed him so he stalked her repeatedly even causing her boyfriend to break up with her after leaving pieces of men’s clothing, shoes and underwear in her house.

After this sick explanation, Ki Joo tells Choi Hoon that he’s nothing but a criminal. He grabs Han Bom thereby ejecting Choi Hoon from her body then he kicks him onto the street. Baek Nam ku sees Choi Hoon and the two start fighting ruthlessly until Baek Nam ku strangles him and throws him back into the seas, killing him the way he died while alive, a method that can completely disintegrate a ghost. Han Bom regains consciousness but is troubled by the memory of Choi Hoon possessing her body. However, Ki Joo is there to comfort her. 

The next morning, Seung ho and Baek Nam ku talk. Seung ho is worried about turning into a ghost the longer he remains on earth without fulfilling his wish list. He asks if Baek Nam ku would finally leave peacefully after catching his killer. Baek Nam ku says he has to in order for his wife to be at peace. Then Seung ho teases that if he were his wife, she would have divorced him long ago. Baek Nam ku doesn’t take his words lightly and throws a stone in his direction which thankfully hit a ghost cat.

Ki Joo is so worried that he takes Han Bom to the hospital for a check up but the hospital is full with patients that they cannot attend to her. Han Bom urges them to go since she’s fine. The nurse who mistakes them for a married couple points out that Ki Joo is injured. Han Bom treats him at a park warning him to be careful of getting hurt. She then asks him why he’s so intent on keeping the studio and Ki Joo replies that he’s waiting for his uncle to return. This causes Han Bom to get emotional and embrace him.

The next morning, Ki Joo follows Han Bom everywhere, even to her lawyer friend’s office. They hold hands, so the safe zone appears and keeps the ghosts away from them. They finally reach Na hyeon Jo’s house. There, he waits for Han Bom outside while she goes in. Seung ho then calls Ki joo, informing him that Choi Hoon’s ghost hasn’t shown up which could mean he’s gone so he should no longer worry about Han Bom. Meanwhile, Na hyeon Jo gives Han Bom evidence of Choi Hoon’s stalking. She then asks how she found her and Han Bom replies that some good people told her.

Meanwhile, the detective’s suspicions of Ki Joo increases when he sees video footage of Ki Joo trying to ‘push’ Han Bom off the bridge. Feeling concerned for Ji won who still has to stay up late packing boxes, Seung ho possesses the body of a colleague to help her. They end up talking about the staff who died (that’s him) from overworking and Ji won feels sorry for him but says she’ll do whatever she can to get acknowledged by his ghost. Seung ho is completely dumb founded by her. However, his fifteen minutes elapses and he pretends to go to the restroom to avoid suspicion.

That night, Ki Joo and Han Bom decide to stay together in her room. She gets a little touchy when Ki Joo doesn’t even show he’s attracted to her as a woman but it turns out he isn’t feeling well, an effect of not being able to send off Choi Hoon’s ghost. Han Bom lets him rest on her shoulder. 

The next morning, he wakes up in her bed. Han Bom is already gone, leaving behind medicine and a note. When Ki Joo comes out of her room, he runs into Ji won and flees out of embarrassment ignoring her calling out to him. Han Bom had actually wanted her to prepare breakfast for Ki Joo. Ki Joo meets Seungho outside. (He didn’t see Ji won) The latter was worried because Ki joo didn’t work yesterday. Ki Joo is surprised that he fell asleep for so long. Han Bom and Na hyeon Joo present evidence of Choi Hoon’s stalking to the police which eventually exonerates Na hyeon Joo. Outside the station, they are hounded by the reporters and Han Bom indirectly blames the prosecution and the police for doing a bad job getting Choi Hoon arrested despite the reports levied against him.

Later the next day, Na hyeon Joo is surprised with a full home makeover. Ki joo and the others had secretly rearranged her apartment, getting rid of everything that reminded her of Choi Hoon. She’s so grateful to Han Bom who simply tells her that it was the work of good people who care about her.

The team settle down to eat a nice palate of fried chicken until Baek Nam ku receives report on his walkie talkie that the man who killed him Park Doo Chil is being pursued by the police. It’s a tight chase. Park Doo chil nearly escapes but Baek Nam ku finally apprehends him leading to his partner arresting him. Soon, the news of his capture spreads. The team is so excited that Baek Nam ku has finally gotten his justice. Na rae, his wife, cries with relief as Baek Nam ku watches her.

The detective snoops around in Ki Joo’s studio, startled when he comes out from the boiler room. Not believing it’s actually a boiler room, he checks it out himself but sees nothing suspicious. Han Bom enters and he tries to subtly get her to speak up against Ki Joo but she tells him she’s fine, that she shares the studio with Ki Joo. Nothing is wrong with her. The detective leaves, disappointed that he wasn’t able to get anything on Ki Joo.

Meanwhile in a meeting, prosecutor Lee, the man who fired Han Bom sees her video defending Na hyeon Joo and is unhappy as his team predict that the recent backlash against the police and the prosecution could jeopardize his chances of winning in the upcoming elections.

Baek Nam ku watches as his wife Na rae packs up his things. Suddenly, she opens a drawer and brings out a document. Baek Nam ku cannot believe it when he sees it’s a divorce document she had planned to give him before he died. Just then, she is visited by a handsome young man who brings flowers with him. He hugs her and tells her he had missed her. Baek Nam ku is rooted at the spot, watching this unexpected betrayal play out before him.

Choi Hoon who is surprisingly alive attacks people at the sea, drowning them but just when he’s about to come out, he is attacked by the spirit of death who caused Yoon’s accident. That spirit of death ends up swallowing Choi Hoon.

Meanwhile, Ki Joo tells Han Bom to take his picture in the photo studio, a tradition each owner must do fifty days before they leave but he finds it difficult to smile at the camera so Han Bom uses her phone to teach him and they both end up laughing due to the funny filters. Han Bom seems immersed in the pictures they took together when Ki Joo suddenly confesses his love to her and they kiss passionately.
