With Hae Joo and Kang San as an audience, In Hwa has a PDA with Chang Hee, who doesn't seem to be at all reticent if you ask me. Hae Joo and then Kang San simply walk away. (Someone at Viki commented that this couple should have started making out in retaliation. That would have been so much better. Scriptwriters should listen to us.)
Hae Joo, as she usually does, quickly gets over it all and goes with San to work on their damned propeller.
After the oil disaster in Indonesia, as well as being late building the drill ship for Noble, Do Hyun's business is down in the dumps. So naturally he hits upon the idea of getting Kang San fired from Noble in order to save Cheonji. No, that doesn't make sense, just go along with it.
Random White Guy alert! San and Hae Joo are hanging out on his yacht when "Mario" from Noble arrives. He. Castigates. San. About. Not. Concentrating. On. Noble. Business. He. Must. Chose. Between. Noble. And. His. Propeller. Shop. San responds with almost but not quite passable English. The entire scene is painful to watch. Why do the producers do these things to us?
Hae Joo meets with In Hwa (why, girl, why?!?) so In Hwa can rub it in that she's going to marry Chang Hee. Hae Joo just tells her to be good to him and walks away. C'mon, stop being a saint and get into a cat fight! As she's leaving the restaurant, Hae Joo spies her younger sister Young Joo and Il Mun coming in. Young Joo splits while Hae Joo lays it down to Il Mun to stay away from her sister or else.
Hae Joo goes home to beat up Young Joo. Dal Soon pulls Hae Joo away and tells her to allow Young Joo to keep seeing Il Mun. This way the family will get revenge on Chang Hee, as well as get all sorts of money and presents from Il Mun. Um, Dal Soon, are you pimping out your daughter?
At the dinner table, In Hwa announces her marriage plans. Surprisingly it is Il Mun who has the sense to point out Chang Hee just broke up with his girlfriend of fifteen years to just turn around and now want to marry someone else. Geum Hee doesn't support the decision and pulls her daughter away for a woman-to-woman talk. Do Hyun, in his bumble bee sweater, takes Chang Hee to his study for a man-to-bee talk. This leaves Il Mun and Gi Cheol to have a bastard-to-bastard talk at the dinner table.
Kang San and Dae Pyung have a grandpa-to-grandson talk. All this episode is is talk, talk, talk. At least their talk seems to accomplish something and mend some bridges.
The next day San meets with In Hwa. (Side note: it's obviously getting cold in Korea at this time. Everyone else in the cast is wearing sweaters and coats. Yet poor In Hwa must still run around in teeny tiny shorts.) San, like everyone else, is trying to talk some sense into her. Yet the more people preach to her, the more In Hwa stubs up and insists on marrying Chang Hee.
Oh no, Random White Guy is back! Kang San gives him a letter to give to the president of Noble. Basically it is his resignation letter. Mario. Begs. Him. To. Stay. San has made up his mind to devote all his attention to propellers.
Yoon Jeong Woo drops in from his other drama long enough to meet with his old minion at the prosecutor's office. The bullets Jeong Woo retrieved from his brother's grave go to the kind of guns used by the Korean intelligence back in the day, not the Japanese intelligence. I'm starting to get the feeling that as Jeong Woo digs deeper and becomes more suspicious of Do Hyun (and especially since the actor is now on another drama), our beloved prosecutor is going to meet with a fatal "accident." It's just a feeling.
Bong Hee has killed and skinned a yeti. That's the only explanation for what she's wearing when Geum Hee stops by Jeong Woo's house to talk her sister into coming back. Jeong Woo comes home with that "your husband killed my brother" look on his face. He argues with Geum Hee, saying he knew about her and Do Hyun having a previous relationship before she married Hak Soo, and he also suspects her and the bastard of messing around after she was married. He throws both women out of his house and orders both to never come back here again.
I'm worried about you, Jeong Woo. I'm seriously worried about your life expectancy on this show. At least give us one shirtless scene before you go.
San and Hae Joo work on the propeller. I decide to skip ahead. I get to the part where apparently they've achieved some kind of success. Hae Joo joyfully hugs San. He appears almost ready to faint although I'm not sure if it's from the propeller or her hugging him. They go to celebrate with Grandpa Dae Pyung and idiot turned spy Sang Tae.
Il Mun is at the office threatening Chang Hee when he gets the call from Sang Tae. Chang Hee is able to overhear everything as Il Mun orders Sang Tae to steal the propeller plans from San's yacht. Chang Hee goes to squeal to Do Hyun.
San's phone receives a video from the security camera on the yacht which plainly shows idiot Sang Tae searching for the plans. San and Hae Joo hop into a cab to race to the dock when his phone gets yet another video. Sang Tae is long gone with the new plans and now a bunch of suited men in ski masks are searching the yacht. They discover the old plans and think they've found what they're looking for.
Kang San and Hae Joo confront the masked thieves and finally I get a fight! In a nearby car sits Nameless Minion (who turns out to have a name - Choi) and Chang Hee watching the fight. Hae Joo manages to retrieve the plans (not realizing they're the wrong ones) and yells for San to run. Without Chang Hee's say-so, Nameless Minion starts the car and guns it towards the fleeing San and Hae Joo. There's just enough goodness in Chang Hee to make him fling himself at Nameless and cause the car to veer to the side a bit. At the same time, San sees the car coming for them and pushes Hae Joo away. He's hit by the side of the car and knocked to the ground. The masked men (who just had their asses handed to them) grab the plans and make their getaway. Hae Joo, who I'm sure is feeling a lot of deja vu right now, cradles the unconscious San and cries out for help.
