May Queen Episode 26

We begin again with the scene where Hae Joo tells Do Hyun she'll work at Cheonji as team leader on the development of the azimuth thruster. In return, Do Hyun must call off the repo men from Kang San's propeller factory.

 

Oh, I didn't realize this before, but by becoming the team leader, Hae Joo has taken Il Mun's position away from him. Plus she gets to boss around all those co-workers who were so mean to her before. Not that Saint Hae Joo will be mean to them. (Sigh, if only...)

 

Jeong Woo meets again with Dae Pyung. He's discovered a Kim Jong Bo, formerly with Japanese National Security, is now living in Seoul. Dae Pyung agrees to go and speak with the man, see if he can get any new information.

 

Hae Joo breaks it to Kang San about her deal with the devil. San is not happy.

 

Chang Hee continues to play In Hwa. In fact, all the women on this show get played by the men. Is it too much to ask for one smart woman who can't be fooled?

 

They might as well give a cast credit to that damned refrigerator. It gets as much screen time as any other actor.

 

Chang Hee advises his father to go make a fool of himself in front of Geum Hee in order to get her to support the marriage plot.

 

Random Black Woman alert! Oh no, that damned Random White Guy is back. Why, Show, why? Mario informs San... (Lord, it's so painful to watch! No, I must persevere.) Anyway, Mario says the Noble president won't accept San's resignation. Noble wants San to continue being the shipbuilding supervisor at Cheonji so he can act as a spy. The company is interested in the oil drilling rights and want to know what Do Hyun is up to.

 

Il Mun orders Team Bitch Jo and Asskisser Yang to find the documents about the secret slush fund his father has hidden.

 

Bong Hee tries to work her way back into Jeong Woo's graces, but he's quite rude to her. Aww, I miss the old days. She ends up moving back to the big house and going back to work at Cheonji.

 

Asskisser Yang snitches to Chang Hee about what Il Mun is up to.

 

Gi Cheol overacts his little toady heart out for Geum Hee. It must work as she changes her mind and supports In Hwa marrying his son.

 

Hae Joo is holding a team meeting. When Chang Hee asks a question, she replies people who don't know what they're talking about shouldn't ask questions. Why, Hae Joo, I'm slightly impressed.

 

Grandpa heads to Seoul with a briefcase full of money.

 

Asskisser Yang gives Il Mun the documents he asked for, but since Yang is now working for Chang Hee, I suspect the papers are false.

 

Ahhhh! Just when I thought he was gone, Mario is back. Ah, ye gods! Kang San is pitching a business deal to him to take back to Noble's president (who doesn't appear to have a name) to provide the capital to San so he can develop his drilling project. They'll split the profits 50/50.

 

Dae Pyung makes contact with Kim Jong Bo. (And I must say, the fall foliage is beautiful wherever they are.) We get a flashback of Kang Woon and Kyung Mi in their car. They're nervous because they know they've got a tail on them. Suddenly the second car speeds up and is driving along beside them. The two cars exchange paint. Another car is driving towards them from the opposite direction. Kang Woon screams and his car careens out on the rocks of the shore. I'm not sure if they're dead or just unconscious. The Men In Black are searching them and their car when Do Hyun walks up. They announce that whatever they're looking for is not here. Do Hyun figures Woon gave "it" to Hak Soo. The next thing we know, the car is on fire. Dae Pyung asks for what reason his son and daughter-in-law were killed. Jong Bo mentions microfilm and the Korean CIA's secret slush fund. (Why, is this the same slush fund money that Il Mun is looking for?)

 

Kang San and Hae Joo make up.

 

Il Mun meets with Jeong Woo and hands over the slush fund documents.

 

It's a dark and stormy night as Dae Pyung meets with bastard Do Hyun. At least Do Hyun brought an umbrella. Dae Pyung is either very smart or very stupid as he talks about knowing everything: the microfilm, the slush fund, the murders of Kang Woon and Yoon Hak Soo. (Please be recording all this, Grandpa. Please!) It wouldn't matter anyway as Do Hyun denies knowing what Dae Pyung is talking about.

 

Wait a minute, now Do Hyun is calling Nameless Minion Kim Cheol Shick. I thought he was Choi. I'm just going to go back to Nameless Minion. Do Hyun wants Nameless Minion to get to the media and make Dae Pyung out to be a crazy old man who's talking out of his head. Nameless Minion, however, looks like he has another way of handling this problem.

 

Sang Tae is leaving the propeller factory when he sees a mysterious black car drive up. He wonders who could be here this late. Meanwhile, Dae Pyung enjoys his final drink in his office. C'mon, we all know what's going to happen. No need to draw this out. Dae Pyung hears a noise outside, goes to investigate and gets electrocuted by Nameless Minion. And of course it has to be Kang San who finds the still smoking corpse of his last family member.

May Queen Episode 25

Thank God for National holidays! Now I can try to catch up on all my shows.

 

As Hae Joo cradles the unconscious Kang San, she has a flashback to the same thing happening back when her father was hit by the truck (which does nothing but remind the audience of how much better Kim Yoo Jung played this part than Han Ji Hye is doing). Unlike her father, Kang San quickly comes to and is resolute to hop on a bike and follow the men who just attacked them.

 

Idiot Sang Tae takes everything he grabbed over to Il Mun and his team, yet they don't find anything useful in the blueprints and stuff. Did Sang Tae grab the old plans and the masked men get the new ones? I'm kind of confused right now. Do Hyun, Chang Hee, and Nameless Secretary Choi walk in with the goods they had stolen. Il Mun's team look over the plans and pronounce them the azimuth thruster plans. (This all could have been avoided if San would simply have invested in a safe.)

 

San and Hae Joo have some trouble with the security guards before they can finally make it inside the Cheonji offices. By this time all the blueprints have been whisked away. Chang Hee is cool as a cucumber as he claims to know nothing about any stolen plans. Do Hyun, on the other hand, can't keep that Cheshire grin off his face. San swears this isn't over, it's just beginning.

 

Hae Joo and San go home to find Sang Tae who folds like a house of cards, confessing that it was Il Mun who paid him to steal the stuff.

 

Back at Cheonji, Team Bastards discover the plans aren't complete, they're missing the most important component to building the thruster. For once Il Mun gets to rub it in that his father and Chang Hee are failures just like he is.

 

Kang San complains about his head hurting and once again collapses unconscious. He's got a concussion and must spend the night in the hospital. He drops hints about Hae Joo staying with him but she's too thick to pick it up.

 

Chang Hee can't go home to brood in peace because In Hwa is there insisting on feeding him a large meal.

 

A pause while the show blatantly advertises a high-tech refrigerator. (It reminds me of the old radio/tv programs. The characters would stop for a cup of Maxwell House coffee and talk about how good it is before continuing with the plot.) Back to the story.

 

While Bong Hee does Karaoke Night alone, Jeong Woo meets with Dae Pyung and lays out his theory of Jang Do Hyun having killed Yoon Hak Soo as well as Kang Woon.

 

Hae Joo finds San has left the hospital and returned to his yacht. While he's taking a nap, she's tiding up the place and discovers he still has the hair band he took from her all those years ago.

 

Do Hyun still wants to get at Kang San, so Chang Hee arranges for San's loans to be suddenly called in.

 

Jeong Woo meets with toady Gi Cheol to once again go over what happened with Hak Soo. Gi Cheol tries to stick with his old story but Jeong Woo realizes the toad is lying. Plus we're forced to endure seeing Gi Cheol's bare leg again.

 

Chang Hee and In Hwa go on a date montage.

 

Kang San confesses his feelings to Hae Joo. She shoots him down with a "I just want to be friends" missile.

 

Jeong Woo's suspension is over and he's back to work at the prosecutor's office. His first order of business is finding the Japanese intelligence members from the Eighties.

 

Those men with the little red stickers invade San's propeller factory and leave their stickers on everything. I wouldn't doubt there are stickers on the mens' urinals. Now San can't even work on his azimuth thruster in his own factory. Oh San, it's always darkest before the dawn.

 

Seeing how devastated Kang San is, Hae Joo goes to see Do Hyun. She agrees to work on making an azimuth thruster at Cheonji, but under one condition.....

Three Kingdoms Episode 34

Sun Ce and his group of mounted men are chasing after one itsy bitsy bunny rabbit. Ah, the sport of it all. (Un)fortunately, Sun Ce can't hit the broad side of a barn and the bunny escapes. He becomes separated from his men during the hunt and is attacked by assassins. Eww, did an arrow just go through his cheeks? Eww. He puts up a valiant fight but in the end he gets a spear in his back.

 

A grown up Sun Quan rushes to his injured brother's side. He quickly takes control of the situation, ordering everyone to act normal so their many enemies don't hear about Sun Ce's grievous wounds. Through his bloody bandages, Sun Ce urges his young brother to take military command and protect the southlands. Quan fears he's not up to the job and because of his age (18) the generals won't take him seriously.

 

Sun Ce has a last goodbye with his wife, Da Qiao, and then dies. Some officials urge Da Qiao to take control of the southlands in the name of her son, Sun Shao, who is just a baby. This would be going against Sun Ce's final wishes. Da Qiao doesn't say anything but she sure is thinking.

 

Sun Quan tries to pass off the responsibility of the southlands to General Zhou Yu, acting all "I'm not worthy" and such. Zhou Yu refuses to accept the responsibility as he knows this isn't what his old friend, Sun Ce, wanted.

 

Worried about her and her son's presence causing strife and conflict in the southlands, Da Qiao takes her baby and gets on a slow boat to China. Wait, she's already in China, so it must be a pretty fast boat.

 

Cut to one very short scene where Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are growing jealous of Zhuge Liang. That's it, that's all you get, then the credits.

 

So, who did send those assassins in the woods against Sun Ce?

 

Darna Episode 15

The story so far: Without Gabriel's consent, that rat Crisanto published the story outing Roma as the Evil Woman. The enraged villagers grabbed their pitchforks and torches and tried to burn Roma at the stake. Darna and the police were able to dispel the rabble, but in the following confusion it was mad scientist Dr. Morgan who made off with the injured girl. Back at the mad scientist lab, test results reveal Roma is pregnant. She thinks it's Gabriel's, while we know better. Lastly, Narda proves that just because she has to walk with a crutch doesn't mean she can't get into an old fashioned cat fight with Valentina. Luv me some cat fighting.

 

During the cat fight, Valentina manages to knock Narda out. When Eduardo comes upon them, Valentina tries to spin the story that Narda just suddenly collapsed. When Narda regains consciousness, she decides to go along with the story and not reveal they had just been exchanging blows.

 

Meanwhile, Roma's baby bulge is suddenly growing exponentially. Guess she won't have to wait nine months. Dr. Morgan tells her the baby is reptilian, which triggers some vague memories of Roma's time in the cave with Cobra Commander.

 

Down in his cave, Cobra is quite pleased to be having another child. He's done with Valentina and her constant mooning over Eduardo. He'll just make another daughter into the Queen of Snakes.

 

A drunk Eduardo overhears Narda saying she wants him only for his money. She knew he was listening and only said these things to try and drive him away.

 

The church is having a new statue of the Virgin Mary installed. This is a special statue as her crown is made of gold and diamonds. Supercriminals Shiro and Liberty (wearing matching supercriminal outfits - awww) are being paid by "Mr. B" to steal the crown. Their plan is to dress up as priests, walk into the church and simply pluck the crown off the Virgin's head. When offended parishioners attempt to intervene, a gunfight erupts.

 

Darna flies in and starts kicking ass and taking names. Shiro stops her by pulling out a remote control and claiming it is to a bomb he planted at the elementary school. She has two minutes to get to the school and find the activated bomb. It's the kids who find the bomb first and they get the hell out of there. (Don't blame you, kids. Run! Run like the wind!)

 

Roma goes into labor.

 

Having no choice, Darna flies off to the school, allowing Shiro and his Bazooka Bandits to get away. She grabs the bomb and flies up high into the air so the explosion will harm no one. She returns to the school grounds to find Eduardo there. He had heard the story on the radio and raced right over. When he thanks Darna, she makes the mistake of saying, "You're welcome, Eduardo." Now he wonders how she knew his name.

 

(That is one fast news broadcast. Within the two minute time frame Shiro gave Darna, someone called the radio and the station announcer reported the story of the bomb at the school. Fast.)

 

Roma has a normal looking little girl. No snakes coming out of her head. The imp is quite disappointed. Later, though, it is only the imp who witnesses the baby turn into a snake and eat some lab mice.

 

Loleng turns to a shamaness to try and learn where her long lost daughter, Consuelo, is. The shamaness goes into a trance and announces Consuelo is alive.

May Queen Episode 24

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.

The King's Dream Episode 5

The good news is more episodes have been subbed, up to Episode 10. The bad news is I'm still on this God forsaken mandatory overtime and it will be forever before I get around to them.

 

 

Good grief - less than four minutes into the show and Chunchu is already crying. I sure hope by the time Choi Sujong takes over the adult role he doesn't cry this much. Anyway, Gajamseong has fallen and Yushin is feared dead. Meanwhile, the victorious Baekje are celebrating when Wolverine's Korean Sister spies a suspicious soldier and recognizes a disguised Yushin who has managed to retrieve the city's flag. Everyone gives chase and is about to catch up to Yushin when Bihyeong arrives and helps the boy escape.

 

Yushin returns to Seorabeol with the flag. Chunchu cries. Yet this is the only warm welcome Yushin gets, as he is arrested and charged with colluding with the Baekje. Brought before King Jinpyeong for interrogation, Yushin testifies to the loyalty and bravery of General Chandeok and the people of G-Town, and shame on those who didn't bring in the reinforcements. The king decides to investigate the matter further before making his decision.

 

Queen Sado is adamant about making Kim Yushin out a traitor as it will cover up the incompetence of Nutty Buddy. To her displeasure, the king finds Yushin innocent of treason and also orders the Hwarangdo to allow Yushin to join them. Yushin has to go through the usual frat boy hazing (cleaning the toilets, doing the laundry, getting the shit beat out of him, etc.)

 

Yushin's grandmother, Manho, wants him to move into her house. Kim Yonchun supports the move, saying Yushin should take this time to make that grumpy old Prime Minister Sukheuljong finally get over his grudge against Kim Seohyeon and the other Gayans.

 

Buddhist priest and diplomat Wongwang meets with King Jinpyeong in order to get Silla to come to the aid of the Siu (Chinese) Empire against Gorguryeo. On the other end of the spectrum, Bihyeong is going to Gorguryeo to help them fight against the Siu. He foresees if Gorguryeo is defeated, the Siu will come after Silla next.

 

A-ha, I was almost right. We find out Cheongwan was raised by Bihyeong after her parents were killed in battle, so in a sense she's his adopted daughter. Anyway, she and Yushin continue their tepid romance.

 

The Baekje king orders Gildal and friends to bring him the head of Jinpyeong.

 

Jinpyeong is holding a banquet in honor of Wongwang. Yushin and the rest of the warrior mimes are in attendance. Uh-oh, Nutty Buddy is there too, and he sure is enjoying the wine. Better keep an eye on him. Yushin is ordered to go get some wine. Wandering around the large palace grounds, he encounters some questionable warrior mimes setting a building on fire. He quickly launches into attack mode.

 

Back at the banquet, no one suspects the guy with two large scars on his left cheek. It's Gildal with a black wig on. Up close to the king, is that serving girl Wolverine's Sister? I can't really tell without her weird hair and long claws. Let's just say it is. Everyone starts to notice the smoke. The king orders an end to the festivities and for someone to put out the fire. In the midst of the confusion, Mohawk (in mime makeup) throws a spear at Jinpyeong. That's the signal for other warrior mimes to tear off their Hwarang outfits and reveal they're really ninja mimes. A mass swordfight commences. Nutty Buddy just sits there and wonders where everybody's going.

 

One of the ninja mimes is about to cut Sukheuljong down when Yushin takes him out. There, Grandpa. Don't you feel bad now for trying to have your grandson executed? Meanwhile, Chunchu (who surprisingly isn't crying) is evacuating with the king and his family. He's also keeping an eye on that serving girl who isn't quite acting serving girlish. Sure enough, Wolverine's Sister pulls out her hair pin to reveal a pretty wicked blade. She starts to lunge at the king's back when Chunchu throws a wine bottle and knocks her hand aside.

 

She takes out some Hwarang with her hair pin (she ain't Wolverine's Sister for nuthin!) but eventually she's outnumbered and run through with several swords. Gildal, who has since taken off his wig to reveal he's still blond but with a really bad cut, is outraged at her death. With his bloody halberd, Gildal makes a beeline towards the king with only little Chunchu to stand in the way. Suddenly Kim Yushin arrives and slams a table against Gildal while the cameraman goes Wheeeeeeee!!!!!  This show sure likes to do that.

May Queen Episode 23

Apparently while I wasn't looking (because of #&%* overtime), May Queen has gotten an extension and is now going to be 38 episodes long.

 

 

As I expected, Geum Hee doesn't believe Dal Soon because of the (fixed) DNA test, and Gi Cheol claims Dal Soon is saying all this crap as a revenge for Chang Hee marrying In Hwa.

 

Il Mun asks Chang Hee to leave it to him to get the goods on Kang San's thruster.

 

Hae Joo grosses Kang San out with her poor table manners.

 

Dal Soon tells Hae Joo about what happened up at the big house, including the fact about the DNA test. Hae Joo fusses at her not-mother for trying to give her away and make her go live with Geum Hee.

 

Geum Hee is starting to wonder if the DNA test was wrong. Il Mun, seeing his stepmother looking at the test results, starts acting repentant about how he's been treating her and insecure about losing the only mother he's ever known. Geum Hee totally falls for it.

 

Yoon Jeong Woo hears back from his minion at the prosecutor's office. The fake phone has been used again and was traced back to being somewhere at Cheonji Shipbuilding.

 

Evil Chang Hee is brooding at a bar, thinking about the days when he was Good Chang Hee, when In Hwa walks in. I guess she's tweaked her Kang San radar to make it Chang Hee radar. She asks why he's drinking alone. Chang Hee turns it around and claims he's drinking over her, worrying that he's not good enough for her. In Hwa gets right to the point and asks just how far he and Hae Joo went. Yeah, Chang Hee, just how far did you two go? Chang Hee doesn't answer either of us. In Hwa starts to leave in a huff when he stops her and lays another manly kiss on the girl.

 

Bong Hee tries (and fails miserably) to impress Jeong Woo with her housekeeping skills.

 

Despite still being grossed out by her table manners, Kang San tries to arrange another date with Hae Joo. Unfortunately it all falls through.

 

Nameless Minion must break it to Do Hyun that there's been a terrible accident at the oil rig in Indonesia, the same oil company Il Mun invested his embezzled funds in. Do Hyun goes down to the shipbuilding office to bitch slap his son only to find Il Mun is out at the moment. As a matter of fact, Il Mun has gone to renew his acquaintance with Sang Tae. He bribes the idiot into being his own mole in Kang San's propeller factory.

 

Hae Joo asks Kang San if he knows the date when his parents died. He tells her it was August 11, when just last episode he said it was August 12. I believe this may be a translation error. Anyway, Hae Joo realizes this is just one day difference from when her birth father, Yoon Hak Soo, was killed. Kang San rushes off to consult with Geum Hee. He asks her if she ever saw the book of spells his father gave her husband. She doesn't recall. Kang San keeps pushing. Perhaps she saw it when she took care of her husband's possessions after his death. Geum Hee admits she was in such a daze after Hak Soo's murder that it was Do Hyun who took care of things like that.

 

Do Hyun offers Hae Joo her job back, and like a fool she goes back. Kang San (and the audience) is disappointed with her decision.

 

When Do Hyun comes home from work, Geum Hee starts to ask him about the book of spells. He denies ever seeing it. Before they can discuss it any further, Il Mun comes home. Do Hyun finally gets his bitch slapping in.

 

Kang San next goes to Jeong Woo to ask about his brother's death, which occurred on August 13, 1986. Kang San makes several points - that his parents and Jeong Woo's brother died within one day of each other; that they all died in Japan; they both thought a certain spot in the ocean floor needed to be explored for oil; and most importantly they both knew Jang Do Hyun. Still, Jeong Woo can't believe there is anything fishy here. Kang San gives the lawyer the book of spells to read.

 

Kang San brings it to Do Hyun's attention that Il Mun had the cheap kind of electrical cable used in the drillship being built. It will all have to be replaced, which will cost lots of money and time. Do Hyun goes to have yet another bitch slapping session with his son, only to be held back by Chang Hee.

 

After reading the spell book, Jeong Woo now also has his suspicions about what happened in Japan. He has his brother's remains dug back up. (Although Hak Soo was cremated. Can you do an autopsy on ashes? No, I shouldn't question. This is DramaLand, after all.) At least Jeong Woo recovers the bullets that were buried with his brother.

 

An upset In Hwa storms into Chang Hee's office. She's just learned that Hae Joo has been re-hired. Chang Hee explains it was her father's choice, not his. She heads off to talk her Dad into firing her rival. Chang Hee follows. In the hallway, knowing that Hae Joo is watching, In Hwa suddenly plants a big wet kiss on Chang Hee.
