Temptation Episode 13

Now that he's found her prescription meds, Suk Hoon is worried about Se Young's health.

 

Min Woo and Hong Joo have barely gotten back from their honeymoon when Mama Im starts hounding them about having a child. This is when Hong Joo drops the bombshell on them that she's unable to have children. (Min Woo already has four kids. I think they should be talking about vasectomies instead.)

 

Mama Im continues to fuss at Hong Joo. The newlywed should stop doing housework and start being lazy like all the other Real Housewives of Seoul. Hong Joo breaks down and signs the pre nup agreement.

 

Natuur Pop Ice Cream continues to get shoved down our throats.

 

Se Young (wearing a really gaudy jacket) still has some collateral and contacts. She plans to start anew in the hotel business. She's unaware Min Woo is still shadowing her moves and plotting her downfall.

 

 

Under Mama Im's orders, Hong Joo is out shopping for expensive clothes. She doesn't realize she's at the department store Ji Sun got from the divorce settlement. I don't like Ji Sun's dress. Gaudy must be the fashion trend for Fall in Korea. Anyway, Ji Sun announces her plans to get custody of her two oldest children. She asks Hong Joo to help by persuading Min Woo into letting his daughters go. Hong Joo refuses to get involved. (This is the second time you've sought an ally, Ji Sun, and the second time you've been turned down flat. You need to rethink your strategy.)

 

Despite their hostile encounter from last time, Hong Gyu asks for his ex-brother-in-law to join him for a talk. After asking for advice about what to do with Se Jin, Hong Gyu informs Suk Hoon that is was Min Woo who was behind the scandal being leaked to the world. When Suk Hoon goes to confront the man, at least Min Woo doesn't deny anything. Just to stick the knife in a little further, Min Woo thanks Suk Hoon for Hong Joo; she's such a wonderful wife. (See, if this was an American soap opera, Suk Hoon would have decked Min Woo in the mouth at this point. But this is a Korean soap opera so all Min Woo gets from Suk Hoon is some pocket change as a wedding present.)

 

Se Young and Suk Hoon have their first couples' fight.

 

 

Min Woo is wanting to get some from his new wife when they're interrupted by Yoon Ah, the daughter who hates everything and everyone. Hmm, I'm picking up the vibe that Hong Joo isn't too disappointed with the intrusion.

 

 

Se Young has put in for a large loan to get her business started. Not only does Min Woo get the loan application turned down, he also swoops in and buys the land Se Young was hoping to build her hotel on.

 

Se Young and Suk Hoon have no choice but to go on a camping trip up in the mountains. Suk Hoon wants to ruin the perfectly lovely view by building a hotel here. (Boo, I say. Leave nature alone.)

 

A leopard can't change its spots. Min Woo has been out carousing with other women. Ji Sun makes sure Hong Joo gets the photographic evidence. Again, Min Woo doesn't deny anything. He likes women. Hong Joo should have known this when she married him.

 

The next day Min Woo runs into Daddy Yoo at the golf course. Min Woo tells the old man something but we don't get to hear it. Guess that's for another episode. Whatever it is Min Woo said, Daddy Yoo is so upset he grabs his chest and collapses. Its the big one, Elizabeth!
