Temptation Episode 14

First and foremost: What the hell are these things supposed to be?

 

While Suk Hoon and Se Young continue to enjoy their rural retreat, we the viewers go back to the golf course. Kang Min Woo is wearing plaid pants, but since he's playing golf he's allowed to get away with it. He purposely runs into Daddy Yoo and assures the elder man that all these rumors about Se Young paying a man for sexual favors can't possibly be true. Daddy Yoo grabs his chest and falls to the ground.

 

Se Young has just gotten back from her trip when she gets the news about her father. She rushes over to the hospital. While Dad has passed the critical point, he's still unconscious. Se Young calls Suk Hoon for emotional support.

 

Min Woo, changed out of his plaid pants, drops by the hospital to give his condolences. Se Young as already heard that he was the last person her father talked to before being stricken. Knowing somehow Min Woo is behind Daddy Yoo's health crisis, Se Young swears vengeance.

 

Suk Hoon has come to the hospital but knowing how much Daddy Yoo dislikes him, he decides not to go inside. Daddy Yoo wakes up and asks Se Young if it is true she paid for Suk Hoon. When she can't deny it, Daddy orders her out of his sight. Se Young asks to come back to the company since he's so sick. Daddy says no way Jose so Se Young agrees to break up with Suk Hoon.

 

 

Se Young goes to break the news to Suk Hoon. She explains she needs to sacrifice him so she can get back into power at the company and take on Kang Min Woo. Suk Hoon is stunned yet understanding. He tells Se Young that once this fight is over, he'll take her back.

 

Min Woo is slightly rattled to learn his old nemesis is back in charge.

 

Remember that bank that turned down Se Young's loan application? Well that's where Suk Hoon has now gone to work. He's using his position to snoop around in Min Woo's finances. 

 

 

With the shoe now on the other foot, it is Se Young who is calling Ji Sun to ask for an alliance. Ji Sun is holding an art exhibit and invites Se Young down so they can talk further. Also attending the exhibit is Hong Joo. Everybody has their claws out. During all the snipping and snarking, Se Young makes the announcement about how she's broken up with Suk Hoon. Ji Sun tries to give Hong Joo some jewelry but the other woman refuses the gift.

 

Later that evening, Ji Sun has drinks with her ex-husband as she tells him all about Se Young wanting to team up to destroy Min Woo. She also tells him about Se Young and Suk Hoon breaking up. Before she leaves, Ji Sun gives the jewelry to Min Woo and tells him to give it to his wife. Ah, so now Hong Joo will know her husband has been meeting with his ex-wife.

 

Just in case she didn't get it the first time, Hong Joo has a meeting with Park Han Soo. Since she's the sister of his best friend, Han Soo feels he should warn her about Min Woo meeting with Ji Sun. Hong Joo asks the P.I. to continue to keep tabs on her husband.

 

Min Woo's company is throwing a party. Hong Joo decides to wear the necklace he/Ji Sun gave her. Suk Hoon attends the party as a representative of the bank. Se Young is also there in order to show off her ugly dress. Ji Sun party crashes because we simply must have the entire cast in one room.

 

Suk Hoon and Se Young struggle to fight their attraction and to stay far away from each other. Hong Joo revels in rubbing Suk Hoon's nose in his business as well as personal failure. Ji Sun drops hints to Min Woo that he's more than welcome to join her at her hotel room for drinks.

 

Suk Hoon is staring at Se Young. Hong Joo is staring at Suk Hoon. Min Woo is staring at Hong Joo. No one is winning this staring contest.
