Extra Special: Rebound EP 04 Recap

Rebound hasn't been capturing my attention at all. It feels as if I could shorten this episode into a short paragraph but this time I actually have a lot of pictures so I feel as if I should give a full recap. Let's just say this episode gives you a glimpse into the worries of life all in one go. Rebound does give you a glimpse of life to be real. It gives you someone who's not of average weight who tries all ways just to satisfy the one she loves. She works at a brilliant company and finds herself the job she always wanted. She has a friend that's with her no matter what problems she may face in the future... etc. Really... it's probably the future of many people. This just stuffs it all in at once.

So if you watch this drama and not only read recaps Oba once again retells what has been happening in the past few episodes but I won't if you want to know you can look at previous recaps. (<- Click to see previous recaps under Rebound Category). The episode starts with Oba lying in bed and reaching to the side for Imai. But he's not there. She opens her eyes and looks up seeing him get dressed. But don't worry he's not leaving her. He's just getting ready for a morning run. She insist that she comes and both of them go to work out at the gym.

At the gym they both talk about their past and how they got bullied as kids and never wanted to go to P.E class. After that they go back to the shop ANGE. As he's taking out a tray of cakes Oba gets a

Extended Special: Rebound EP 03 Recap!

Extremely sorry! I’m trying my best right now to catch up to where we should be at. This time there aren’t that many pictures. I have to say it wasn’t as exciting as the first 2 episodes. But still satisfying to the point where I’m writing summaries for it.

To understand this week’s recap. I’ll start off with the small recap she gives us herself at the beginning of the episode. She tells us how she worked super hard to become the girl she was before and finally becomes skinny with a special drug that has not yet been tested. She waits for her “prince” at the water fountains but instead a little girl comes over handing over a take away box of cake. Inside are her beloved cream puffs that she had longed for. She tastes them and returns to her happy place where the bells of the church ring. She looks around for Imai but he isn’t there. She gets worried and realizes a man is struggling to get up. She walks over and finds out that it’s Imai – but he’s fat now.

 

The episode now starts with both of them at his bakery Ange. He keeps avoiding eye contact with her but she continuously stares at him. Not believing that he could be fat because he specifically said no to her being fat. He asks her whether she likes the cake and yes she does but still she’s amazed that he could be so fat. He reaches in to his drawers at the back of his store and takes out a pictures explaining that’s he’s always been fat but once his parents died he was in such sorrow that it just happened. He just became skinny. (So the stories been reversed as you can see) After explaining his reasons he reaches down to get bags of snacks and starts chugging them down. Oba looks at him in terror and tries to stop him from eating but his responses is just “I’ll start dieting tomorrow”. He also throws her the fact that she would not like a fat person. She starts to reflect on to her past and tells him that she does understand how he feels because she’s been in the same situation in the past. He looks at her and laughs because he doesn’t believe her from looking at her now.
