Myung-hee is attempting to slip out of Uicheon Villa undetected. However, Ggeut-soon notices her and demands to know who she is.

The Episode Review

The episode suggests the formation of a love triangle involving the characters Hyo-sim, Tae-ho, and Tae-min. Furthermore, in the course of this particular episode, the character Myung-hee is recovering under the care of Hyo-do, while Sook-hyang keeps herself busy in her search for her. Additionally, Sun-soon becomes aware of Hee-joo’s persistent mistreatment of Hyo-sung.

The episode lacks significant tension and exhibits elements reminiscent of melodramatic narratives commonly found in daily soaps. This show may not be to everyone’s taste due to its abundant use of plotting, theatrics, and exaggerated situations.

The episode concludes with Hyo-sim training Tae-ho, while Tae-min appears to display interest in joining the pair. It will be intriguing to watch the manner in which the plot develops in the episodes to come.
