Thankfully Gong-shil is totally suckered by the act and gets dragged along in the ambulance (thanks to Yi-ryung’s death-grip, ha). She grabs onto her like a leech while moaning ohgodithurts, and Chun-hee actually chuckles, catching on. So Yi-ryung collapses in the aisle, gasping loudly in pain, bringing Gong-shil to her side.

Joong-won takes over the call and instructs Yi-ryung to act her little heart out. Ha, and then she calls Kang Woo to inform him that Gong-shil is on her flight. Is it too much to hope that she’s a Gong-shil-Joong-won shipper too? Yi-ryung spots Gong-shil on the plane and has a brief chat, while also givin gChun-hee the narrowed-eye once-over. Kang Woo basically orders Joong-won to get her back, and Joong-won breaks offers to rehire him with double pay. He’d slipped its mate into Gong-shil’s bag earlier just in case, which is hilarious but also really nice of him. Secretary Kim worries that he’ll lose her in the interim, and Kang Woo hands over a handheld device-a satellite tracker. Joong-won decides to follow on the next flight to LA just as Kang Woo storms up to chastise him for letting her go, then barks that he’s going to get her back.

It’s a different story for Yi-ryung, who’s on the same flight and clinging to her phone as long as possible, grumbling at Kang Woo for not calling. On the plane, Chun-hee asks whether she was able to settle things well with Joong-won, and she sighs that no, she had to force herself to leave. Joong-won calls her repeatedly while walking toward her gate, and misses her just as she passes through. Joong-won says that he thought everything would be fine if he shouldered the burden for the relationship, but she’d said she was hurting and scared: “Thinking about it, I don’t think I have once tried to understand her position or take it into consideration.” Secretary Kim asks rather incredulously if that’s what he’s doing now, sending her away out of consideration and understanding.īut Joong-won scoffs, “Are you crazy? Send Tae Gong-shil away? Why would I do something I’ve never once done in 34 years of life at this crucial moment?” He bolts up, saying that he has no intention of letting her go all nicely and thoughtfully and stalks off with purpose. She gets sent off by her sister while he sits in the terminal dumbly after she’s gone, where Secretary Kim finds him. Gong-shil makes her pained departure from Joong-won, who accepts her decision to leave despite feeling crushed by it. You also need to have JavaScript enabled in your browser.

Then again, I’m also used to the (in)famous Hong Sisters Finale Week Slowdown, so I’m just glad this is one of the better versions of the scenario. Granted it wasn’t exactly a fast pace and I do wonder how the writers had intended for the story to unfold given the original episode count, but in a situation where they had to fill up one more hour, I think what we have generally works. 208 OctoJanuMaster’s Sun: Episode 16 by javabeansĮven though I’d never argue that the one-episode extension did this show (or any show) good, I did find myself pleasantly surprised with how the show seems to feel on track with its pacing as we head into the finale.
