Maestra Episode 8 Recap

Se-eum wakes up in her office to the news of Bong-ju’s death and with blood on her hand which leaves her shocked as she is unable to remember what happened the night before. Later, she finds out that the blood on her hand was due to the broken glass at home which left the cut.

Elsewhere, detective Dong-sik is in pursuit of the truth only to be stopped by Bong-ju’s father who knows that the investigation will bring out the truth of his son’s drug abuse. Meanwhile, the orchestra arrive at Bong-ju’s funeral where Se-eum remembers that night and is unable to enter.

Luna sees her and drops her home, only to find her having a fever. She stays back all night with her only to find Se-eum missing the next morning. On the other hand, Se-eum decides to finally get a blood test done to see if she has the disease or not. Following this, Se-eum prepares to make a comeback by contacting the people who left the orchestra.

She finally gets them all back to the orchestra and plans something more for damage control. She gets in touch with Ko Han-gil and tells him to proceed with the documentary she has been rejecting this whole time. However, this time it will be about the orchestra and Kim Phil will be hosting the same.

Han-gil is not ready to accept this but Se-eum is prepared and tells him the days before the documentary is released, she will announce her divorce and get all the attention needed to make the documentary a hit. This intrigues him and he agrees for the same, also accepting her condition to not let anyone know about her plan for divorce.

Soon, the preparation for the next concert begins while Kim Phil is shocked when he finds out that Se-eum accepted recording the documentary and with him as the host. Elsewhere, Jeong-jae finds out about the same and heads to question Se-eum about this. However, after pouring out her anger, he asks her why Hanphil is so important to her.

Se-eum answers to him that this might be her last orchestra which is why Hanphil is so important for her, leaving him shocked. The next day, the recording begins at Hanphil and Se-eum makes sure nothing goes wrong, however, the fear hidden inside her leaves her stressed.

Soon, the day of the concert arrives and while there is a lack of audience, she is ready for the performance. But, right before the performance Kim Phil arrives to meet her and tells her that he had met her on the night of Bong-ju’s death. This surprises her while Kim Phil mocks her thinking that the disease must have started to show its symptoms because of which she doesn’t remember anything.

This makes her stressed as she enters the stage and begins her performance. However, the stress does not stop and she begins hallucinating, seeing visions of her mother and Bong-ju. Unable to control her emotions any longer, Se-eum finally faints at the end of the performance, shocking everyone present.ogo ảnh widgeogo ảnh wiya Singh ảnh widgiya Singh ảnhogo ảnh widgetogo ảnh widget

Episode 8 was a piece of art as Se-eum’s emotions take drastic turns in this episode. From being able to control every situation in front of her to breaking down when she is unaware of what happened, Se-eum is facing a situation where she can no longer control Bong-ju’s case.

We see her panic and push down every stressing emotion until she faints which shows how tense she must have been during this time which made her body finally give up. Se-eum is the perfect protagonist for this show as she shows how crazy she can get for what she wants and she is very well deserving of all the praise surrounding her.

Meanwhile, we also see the helplessness of Jeong-jae who wants to save her and the cunning Kim Phil who just wants what is good for him. The difference between the two men is visible and makes us see that not every smiling face with tender expressions is the right choice.
