90 Day Fiance The Other Way: Can Deavan and Jihoon Make It?

August 25, 2020

90 Day Fiance: The Other Way had a lot going on for Season 2, Episode 13.

Deavan and Jihoon are still trying to recover from Jihoon's lapses in judgment.

Ariela's mom is about to leave, and Ariela's not exactly hyped about being alone with Biniyam, even though it's not his fault.

Yazan and Brittany had yet another huge fight, this time caused by his family over her photo.

Tim finds out that he may not be able to stay in Columbia for long without marrying Melyza.

Kenneth and Armando go out for tacos with Kenneth's daughters.

They are harassed with hate speech in a moment that leaves Armando sad and withdrawn.

You can watch that scene for yourself, below.

After last week's emotional episode, things are relatively at ease. They're on their way because Deavan is going to cook with Jihoon's mom for a Korean tradition -- Baek-il. The cooking together is just prep, but it's traditionally done between the mom and the mother-in-law.

2. It's not bad

But it quickly becomes clear that Jihoon's mom has low expectations of Deavan. And she says as much. Meanwhile, Jihoon is watching Drascilla and Taeyang. This time, when Deavan reminds him to hold Drascilla's hand, he takes it seriously.

3. To be fair ...

Deavan, like countless busy parents, disabled folks, and people with limited time on their hands, generally buys most of her food pre-sliced, so she's not exactly handy with a knife. Jihoon's mom admits that Deavan isn't very good at it, but she's just being honest.

4. Jihoon doesn't see the big deal

Until, that is, Deavan asks him how he'd feel if he had to cook with Elicia. The fear on Jihoon's face is, well, an endearing moment and a reminder that these two really do care about each other.

5. On to the Baek-il

Drascilla is obviously excited for the party celebrating her baby brother.

6. Jihoon explains

For those of you unfamiliar, Jihoon explains that, like so many cultures, the grim reality of infant mortality meant that people had to accept that newborns didn't just sometimes die, but regularly did. Countless cultures all over the world that ways of coping with this. In Korea, the solution was to celebrate the baby's 100th day of life -- a milestone in a world where so many infants died, and where celebrating a newborn could be bittersweet. This tradition endures even though infant mortality rates plummeted generations ago.
