Temptation Episode 3

 

After spending the night at the hospital, Kang Min Woo rushes over to check on his son first thing in the morning. He tries to pay Na Hong Joo a babysitting fee but she refuses. He then offers her a job as nanny to Roy. He'll pay her way better than any hospital will and she'll definitely get her weekends off. Hong Joo says she'll think about it.

 

Se Young and Cha Suk Hoon return to Korea. Someone really goes to town on their violin as the couple part ways at the airport. When he gets home, Suk Hoon wants to talk but Hong Joo would rather do housecleaning to avoid any unpleasantness.

 

Back at the office, Choi Suk Ki asks about all the money that was transferred to Suk Hoon's bank account. Se Young replies, "Nunyabiznez."

 

Hong Joo decides to stick it to Suk Hoon by accepting Min Woo's job offer. Suk Hoon again tries to make things up with her and begs her forgiveness. Hong Joo just curls her lip up and says they need some time away from each other.

 

 

A new character is introduced: Se Young's whiney younger sister, Yoo Se Jin.

 

Musical interlude.

 

 

Min Woo comes to the summer house to check up on his son. As he's leaving, Roy and Hong Joo walk out to see Min Woo to his car. Up on a hill, Park Han Soo is taking pictures. He shows the digital picture to Hong Gyu and says doesn't the woman look like Hong Joo? Hong Gyu, perhaps in denial, proclaims you can't really see the woman's face clearly. Of course it isn't his sister hanging around a cheating married man. Of course.

 

Se Young keeps mooning over Suk Hoon. Oh, that bicycle ride. Oh, how he waved down a taxi and opened her drink.

 

Even though they've been hired by Han Ji Sun to catch her husband in the act, Han Soo plans to show the pictures he took to Min Woo in hopes of getting a little extra blackmail money on the side. Min Woo, who's used to paying these guys off, laughingly agrees to pay for the pictures and even asks Han Soo to do a little job for him.

 

Hong Gyu hasn't seen his sister in days so decides to call her. When he learns Hong Joo has gotten a haircut and a new job as a nanny, he realizes it was his sister in the photos after all. Hong Gyu starts to drive over to the summer house to confront Hong Joo when he's in a minor fender bender with Se Jin's car. The two young people get out and start taking pictures of the accident - and of each other. Yeah, I figured they'd be paired up.

 

Se Jin had come by to drop in and visit Min Woo. Please don't tell me she's one of his side things. How do they know each other? Why so pally?

 

Hong Gyu tries to get Hong Joo to quit her job and get away from that notorious playboy. To show how serious he is, Hong Gyu quits his job with Han Soo. Hong Joo is glad her brother isn't going to be out spying anymore but she's not about to quit her job.

 

Yet another musical interlude.

 

Min Woo is taking his pasty wife out to dinner at Se Young's hotel. They all run into each other down in the lobby. Ji Sun, perhaps feeling threatened, rubs it in that at least she's married and has kids. Isn't there anyone Min Woo could introduce to the very single Se Young? Se Young fights back by asking Min Woo if he's told his wife yet about what happened in Hong Kong. What was that person's name again? Was it Roy? Somebody call the fire department as there are burns all around.

 

Also in the hotel is Suk Hoon who is here to meet with an old college buddy for drinks. The buddy, Choi Young Chul, thinks he's helping by arranging for Suk Hoon to bump into Se Young. Perhaps Suk Hoon can get a job here at the hotel. Suk Hoon and Se Young act like they hardly know each other. Once again somebody saws the hell out of their violin.

 

During their private dinner together, Ji Sun begs for them to move out from Min Woo's mother's place. Either that or send Mom packing to Boston. (Why is Boston so popular in Kdramas right now? That's all they talked about in Angel Eyes was Boston.) Min Woo makes it clear he's not about to leave Mommy.

 

After that pleasant dinner conversation, Min Woo drops by the summer house to sing Roy to sleep. He stays around to have a glass of wine with Hong Joo out on the back patio. A well-lubricated Min Woo whines about his problems. Hong Joo is on her way to being slightly well-lubricated herself when Suk Hoon arrives. Cue the violins!
