Watch the episode 55 preview here! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5zCSkQXqh4
didn’t really like this episode but ep 55 looks good. AND O—M—G THIS SHOW ENDS NEXT WEEK! @!#!$#@%^# its so intense!!
…
The episode starts out in a dark room where Mr.Hwang, Shin tae hwan, and Jackie are having a meeting.
Their only terms for the agreement are that Jackie severs ties with Dong chul.

Shin tae hwan also asks Jackie if they can use his drugs to put Dong chul in jail.
In the car afterwards Shin tae hwan tells Mr.Hwang what his real plan is. He isn’t really giving anything he promised to Jackie… because without Dong chul, Jackie is going to fail.
Mr.Hwang thinks its dangerous to not fulfill the promises to Jackie, but Shin tae hwan is never afraid of anything.
————–
Ji hyun tells Dong wook that she is leaving Shin tae hwan.

Because he is the kind of person that is a curse to work with.
She says she is worried for Dong wook.
“You’re not the man you were.”
“No, I haven’t changed.”
She says she could see it in his eyes at the DA office. By accepting Shin tae hwan, he is abandoning his past… and his future.
He tells her she is the same- she has joined Myung hun/Dong chul’s team.
“I don’t need you. I don’t need anyone.”
Before he can leave she says one more thing to him.
“Don’t eat the meat Shin tae hwan throws to you. Someday he will throw you poisoned meat.”
—————-
Dong wook goes to talk to his boss, Mr.Kim.

Mr.Kim gives Dong wook a packet. Inside is a paper saying Mr.Hwang’s confession was meant to make Dong wook a hero. It basically says everything from the tapes.
(This is Shin tae hwan’s evil ploy to make Dong wook think Dong chul is back stabbing him.)
Mr.Kim says that if the tapes are delivered…Dong wook has to be ready.
And Dong wook in his mind thinks that Dong chul tricked him. Argh! Shin tae hwan! Why are you such an evil genius?!?!

Dong wook tells his assisstants to release the macao drug guy from jail and follow him.
—————-
Dong chul sits in the hospital room with Chunhee. Myung hun and Ji hyun arrive.

Myung hun instantly knows it was Shin tae hwan.
This was way too cheesy for me, but Ji hyun tells Dong chul she has returned to the light and escape Shin, etc etc. Lol sorry. The scene was lame.
Myung hun is angry and revenge crazed but Chunhee tries to talk him out of it. She kind of fails.

Dong chul’s turn!
Outside, he asks Myung hun about the DA office.

Myung hun says he only got out bc he agreed to give info about Shin tae hwan. Dong chul says that for their mothers sake they should stop thinking about revenge. But Myung hun refuses.
“I can not just sit and watch this happen.” And then Ji hyun comes over and joins Myung hun in saying they need to destroy Shin tae hwan.

And she has the information to prove Shin tae hwan guilty.
Dong chul allows them to carry on with their plan.
—————
Dong wook’s assisstants present information to him about the drug guys.

It links to the casino and Dong wook realizes that Dong chul gave the work permit to one of the drug guys. So he decides to get a search warrant asap.
—————-
The drug guy from the pictures stuffs some drugs into a locker.
Wang gun finds Dong chul in the hospital and says to hurry and come to the casino… some people they gave work permits to are casuing problems with drugs and now the DA office is going to the casino.
Dong wook arrives at the casino.
Inside, he finds Young ran. She says she remembers him from when he killed her father.

Harsh.
But he deserved it.
He pulls out his search warrant and says they are going to search for drugs.

She tells him he must be wrong. Sadly he is right… but only because Shin tae hwan planted the drugs! I almost feel bad for Dong wook… he thinks he is being so righteous when really he is doing the wrong thing.
—————–
In another room, one of Dong wook’s assisstants finds out that Peter isn’t at the casino.
Dong wook is in Dong chul’s office and he sees the picture on the wall.
His guys root around and totally screw up the room. Young ran runs in and sees the destruction.

Even Dong chul’s name plate is knocked to the floor. When the guys leave Young ran confronts Dong wook.
She says that the whole drugs thing is a set up. He says that is only true if they don’t find any drugs.
AND HE INSULTS PRESIDENT GOOK. WOW. WAY TO BE A JERK.
How can he be rude even to someone whose father just died?

She asks if he really believes Dong chul would get involved with drugs. He says Dong chul has already been involved in crimes, so why not drugs.
And then Dong chul himself arrives.
He walks over to Dong wook and flat out says that they don’t have drugs. Dong wook tells him to take their picture off the wall. He throws a book at it and breaks it.
;; ___ ;;
Dong wook accuses Dong chul of the drug thing and Dong chul brings up the car accident. Dong wook doesn’t believe that Shin tae hwan would cut the brakes. Dong wook demands evidence and Dong chul tells him to ask their mother in the HOSPITAL.

“If you can not trust mom, what kind of truth do you need?”
Dong wook just turns it around and asks if Dong chul can trust him. He is angry that Dong chul got reinvolved with the casino business.
“Lee Dong wook, I haven’t done anything to embarrass you.”

“You gave work permits to drug dealers.”
He tells Dong chul to just confess before they find anything.
But the his assisstants run in with bags of drugs from Peter’s locker.
Dong chul looks at Dong wook like “YOU CAN’T SERIOUSLY BELIEVE THIS, RIGHT?”

But, sadly, Dong wook’s face is like “BWAHAHA I CAUGHT YOU NOW!”

; ___ ;
Young ran says it is a set up but Dong wook is just offended.

Young ran switches tactics and tells Dong wook to arrest her, because Dong chul doesn’t know anything about it.
Dong chul shakes his head, but he is too in shock to say anything.
Dong wook arrests Young ran. Finally Dong chul speaks up and reminds Dong wook that he promised not to touch her.
Dong wook says Dong chul broke the promise first. (The tape.)
I HATE DONG WOOK SO MUCH THAT I WANT TO STOP WATCHING.
But at the same time, I totally can’t stop watching xD
—————-
Shin tae hwan arrives at his office.
Meanwhile, Ji hyun is in the secret document room searching for the files she needs.
She finds the right document and then goes up to Shin tae hwan’s office.

He tries to be friendly but she crushes the happy atmosphere and asks how long he had planned to abandon her in the prison.
She says again that she had dreamed of being better than him but now she has woken up. And she tells him he should throw himself away, which he takes to mean killing himself. He tells her to leave without leaving any trace of herself behind. She smirks and walks out.

—————-
Back at Taesung electronics, Myung hun is going through some documents when he gets a phone call. From Shin tae hwan. He is pissed that is fake son gets to say he works at Taesung lol.

He wants to know how Myung hun got out of the DA office but Myung hun changes the subject to the car accident. Shin tae hwan tells him to be careful.
“Don’t forget that whoever challenges me can not be forgiven.”
Myung hun says he learned that from Shin tae hwan- he won’t forgive either. Shin tae hwan mentions Ji hyun and Taeho and Myung hun gets really angry and hangs up.
Back in his office Shin tae hwan vows to get Myung hun. He searches for his key in his drawers but it isn’t there.
He gets someone to pick the lock and hurries into the secret file storage room.
WHERE HE FINDS THE FILES MISSING!

He thinks it was Myung hun… funny how he doesn’t suspect Ji hyun…
————-
At Dong wook’s work, the mean lawyer talks to him and lets him know that he is working on a case that involves Shin tae hwan. Dong wook looks ANGRY.

In his office he answers the phone and it’s Shin tae hwan. He tells Dong wook that Myung hun stole important files that will destroy him if released to the public. Dong wook yells at him to stop and hangs up the phone.

————–
Yoon hee, Ji hyun, and Taeho arrive at the hospital.
Yay! Please all become one big happy family and just leave out Shin tae hwan!
Yoon hee apologizes, but Chunhee tells her there was no need and she believes this was an accident. But Yoon hee says no- she knows Shin tae hwan.

Then Myung hun arrives.
Ji hyun hands him the folder. O___O
He looks a little guilty since Chunhee told him not to go after revenge, but he tells Taeho to take care of his grandma. And he asks Yoon hee to stay with Ji hyun.
He says he will come back, and Ji hyun tells him to be careful.
THAT’S NOT FORESHADOWING IS IT?
MYUNG HUN WILL COME BACK, RIGHT? ; ___ ;
—————–
Myung hun arries at the DA office. Of course, Kyung tae is watching him. He gives the signal and some guys jump out of the van and grab Myung hun. They gag him and drag him into the van and escape.
—————-
Dong chul is with Uncle Chaeng. Uncle Chaeng wants to leave Young ran at the DA office. Dong chul wants to go there so Young ran doesn’t get accused of things he did.

Then Mr.Hwang calls.
Dong chul threatens to kill him. And then Mr.Hwang holds the phone up to Myung hun who tells Dong chul to ignore this since it’s a trap.

Mr.Hwang asks for compensation and in return promises to give Dong chul any documents he wants. Dong chul agrees- as long as Myung hun is okay.

Uncle Chaeng, as always, tries to stop Dong chul… but, as always, he fails.
————–
Dong wook receives a phone call that drugs are going to be delivered to the docks right now. (That’s where Mr.Hwang told Dong chul to go to get Myung hun back.)
————
At the docks, the drug trade occurs while Myung hun is held off to the side.

Mr.Hwang mentions Shin tae hwan. Someone runs over to say Dong chul is coming, and Kyung tae hurries away.

Dong chul and his guys arrive but he tells them to wait while he goes forward with only two guys to carry the briefcases full of money.
Mr.Hwang and his guys approach with Myung hun while Dong chul and his guys approach with the money.
Dong chul hands over half the money. They give him Myung hun, but Myung hun shakes his head and tries to warn Dong chul. Dong chul hands over the rest of the money and Dong chul takes the briefcase from Mr.Hwang. His guy opens it to check and its full of drugs.
Mr.Hwang says it is a gift from him and Shin tae hwan. Suddenly police cars arrive.

OH CRAP.
THEY’RE SURROUNDED.
All of Dong chul’s guys are grabbed. Dong chul sees Dong wook.
Myung hun is in another car. He tells the guys to take him back to Dong chul but they say they were ordered to take him home safely.
Dong wook asks Dong chul when he started dealing with drugs and Dong chul says it’s a set up.
Dong chul tries to convince him that it’s a set up, but Dong wook tells him to save his talking for the DA office. Dong chul tells him to catch Mr.Hwang, but he is shoved into the car and Dong wook ignores him.
He and his guys continue to search around, and he happens to bump into Mr.Hwang. Mr.Hwang tells him to stay quiet to protect himself as well.

Dong wook walks over to him.
Mr.Hwang tells him to catch Dong chul.
DONG WOOK WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!?!?
Mr.Hwang gets on a boat and escapes. And Dong wook just watches.

WHY?!?! When did Dong wook become so STUPID?!!?? !@#$@!%$%$$^
————–
Dong chul in the police car is totally pouting.
Out of nowhere, a car appears and guys jump out and attack the DA officers. They drag Dong chul out of the car and stuff him into a van. Dong wook runs after the van, but it’s gone before he can do anything.

————–
He questions Young ran at the DA office. He asks where Dong chul is but she just insults him.
Then she tells him that Dong chul loved him more than he loved himself.

“I know. And I also know that for one woman, he threw away his brother.”
Dong wook’s assisstant escorts her out of the office.

They are driving her to the prison but have to stop because there are cars in the road.
Dok sa hurries over to the police car and rushes Young ran over to his car. They escape.

Really, running away from the police makes you look so SO much more guilty.
Wang gun and Dong chul wait in another car.

Young ran jumps out of Dok sa’s car and they run and hug each other. ♥♥♥♥♥

Uncle chaeng interrupts and tells them to leave.

END
—————
This episode kind of sucked.
And I really really really hate Dong wook.
Love that Dong chul and Young ran are together but am kind of annoyed that they attacked police officers to get away. Now, even if they aren’t guilty of anything else, they are totally guilty of that. Lame.
BUT OMG THE PREVIEW!! I AM SO EXCITED!!
