FRIDAY ON AMAZING BOYFRIEND - EPISODE 11 ON JOY PRIME @ 6: AM

Ling Qiao returns to the crime scene. I’m guessing he’s looking for the picture of the young man. But unfortunately, he didn’t find it. And basing upon the unopened milk bottles, he deduces that the killer disguised as the milk delivery man.

At the same time, Yan Zi looks at a map and traces his car’s locations for the past weeks. He takes note of the fact that the car has been to places where the couple lived and on the day of the murder, it was parked near the crime scene.

Jing Zhi casually watches TV at home when Ling Qiao returns. The smell of caffeine and disinfectant catch her attention. She guesses that Ling Qiao went to a coffee shop and a hospital. Ling Qiao is quite impressed, but her logic is only half-correct. Yes, he did go to a coffee shop, but the disinfectant, however, is because he returned to the crime scene.

While sitting opposite to each other and enjoying a cup of coffee, Ling Qiao relays that the enemy is desperate to cover his tracks, so he killed the couple just for the picture. He then breathes in the coffee’s aroma. Jing Zhi asks why he’s doing that when he doesn’t drink coffee at all. He simply replies that it’s for his own relaxation. Jing Zhi is sickened by his logic and wonders what other perverted thoughts he has. Haha!

Suddenly, the door rings. Ling Qiao knows that the visitors are Yan Zi and his partner, so he reminds Jing Zhi to just relax and tell them that she has never been to the murder scene. As expected, Ling Qiao is considered a person of interest in the double murder case and is brought to the police station for investigation.

At the station, Yan Zi interrogates Ling Qiao. It’s obvious he’s already dead-set on believing that Ling Qiao is somehow involved. But the latter is resolved to prove his innocence. Ling Qiao coolly states that he was indeed looking for the couple because he was trying to retrieve a family heirloom. A few days back, he got news from the auction house and learned where they lived but when he went to the place the couple already transferred. In short, he didn’t meet the couple and it was purely a coincidence that he was near the place where they were murdered. Yan Zi refuses to believe him and insists that he’s lying.

Before Yan Zi leaves, Ling Qiao boldly asks if it’s illegal to put a tracker on a car. Yan Zi dismissively answers that if it is someone else’s car, then it is. But since, it’s his car, then there’s no issue of legalities there. Ling Qiao can only chuckle at the lucidity.

Jing Zhi is clearly hurt by Yan Zi’s adverse action. She throws him the keys and dejectedly tells him to take it away. By that she means, both his car and his love because she doesn’t deserve any of it. Yan Zi is disappointed at her reaction as well and retorts that she has become blinded by love. She confirms. In fact, she loves Ling Qiao so much that she can’t even bear the thought of being separated with him. She can’t eat, sleep and her tears won’t stop falling if he’s not around. Yan Zi keeps his silence and calmly tells her to go home, guaranteeing that Ling Qiao will be released after 48 hours.

When alone, Yan Zi admits his fault but nevertheless stands by his decision without regrets because that was his only way of keeping her. Awww!

Jing Zhi worries for Ling Qiao. Dong Dong, however, remains a hundred and one percent unperturbed and reminds her that Ling Qiao has super powers. Obviously, he can escape from the station if he wants to. Still, she remains anxious and calls Xuan Xuan for some advice.

Sadly, Xuan Xuan doesn’t answer her calls because she has problems of her own. Ye Chen happens to be at the restaurant where she’s at and notices her foul mood so he initiates a conversation. They are having their normal teasing and bickering when Xuan Xuan’s mother called. Over the phone, she and her mom has a bitter spat over her arranged marriage with Shi Guang and vows to marry anyone, even a beggar, if he’s the one she loves. She hangs up and meets Ye Chen’s uneasy glance. They both laugh at the awkward moment. Xuan Xuan lightens the mood, saying that her life is just like those of a typical idol drama. She then bids her farewell.

Xuan Xuan wanders around and finds Ye Chen waiting for her. Seems he decided to keep her company for the day and he’s wise enough to use blackmail on her so she’s forced to agree. Haha! Unfortunately, his car broke down somewhere along a secluded road in the middle of the night and she lost her phone. Yeah, and they keep on telling us that Jing Zhi is jinxed. Tehehe! Without nothing much to do, Ye Chen invites her to just spend the night and watch sunrise together. It’s cold so he puts his coat over her shoulders. Kyaaah!

The next day, Xuan Xuan is still unreachable via phone, so Jing Zhi goes to her home to check on her. But Xuan Xuan’s still not there yet. Shi Guang happens to pass by too so he volunteers to give Jing Zhi a ride.

In the car, Shi Guang shares that Xuan Xuan had a tiff with her Mom. She’s calling off the wedding and refused to marry him for money. Basically, that’s the reason why Xuan Xuan suddenly disappeared. Guess, love is much harder than charity or any business deal.

Out of nowhere, goons chase them and keeps on bumping their car. Fearing for dear life, Jing Zhi immediately calls Ling Qiao. But since he’s still under police custody, he can’t answer her calls. At the station, Ling Qiao feels her fears and tries desperately to get out of the detention room. He even reach to the point of kicking down the door. Police men assumes he’s escaping, so they point guns at him. He can only beg for them to take his call because Jing Zhi is in grave danger. Thankfully, Yan Zi’s partner gives him the benefit of the doubt.

And yes, he’s right. The police responded immediately and comes in time to save Jing Zhi and Shi Guang from the unknown attackers. Luckily, they escape from the life-threatening experience with just bruises and minor concussions.

Ling Qiao is finally released. Yan Zi offers to take him to the hospital where Jing Zhi was taken. He’s rather curious why Ling Qiao knew that Jing Zhi is in danger, why he’s so darn calm about it and why Jing Zhi chose to call him instead of the police for help. Ling Qiao simply says that he’s basing his reaction on Yan Zi’s cool demeanor and concludes that Jing Zhi is far from danger. As to why he knew she’s in danger, he call it connection between lovers. Lastly, she called him because she doesn’t trust the police. He may not be superman but he’s someone Jing Zhi trust.

When Ling Qiao arrives, Jing Zhi frantically calls for him. She gets all emotional and hugs him tight, crying like a child. She repeatedly asks him where he was and why he didn’t come sooner. She recalls his promise of protecting her, wailing that she waited for him to save her but he didn’t come. Her unexpected outburst even make the nurses and doctors cry. Yan Zi, who also witnesses the scene, gets hurt and leaves quietly.

When Jing Zhi has calmed down, Ling Qiao comments that he thought she had brain damage because of how she acted earlier. Haha! He then asks what happened and she answers bad guys were chasing them. She further complains that her bad luck has been upgrade. Ling Qiao smiles at her reaction and clips back a strand of loose hair. Aww! Both are taken aback by his unconscious gesture.

Ling Qiao diverts the topic, asking where Shi Guang is. Jing Zhi replies that he already left because of work. He then wonders who the real target is. Jing Zhi defends that she never angered anyone except him. Tehehe!

With the recent accident, Jing Zhi hopes that the media will be subtle in their reports. But it proves to be only a wishful thinking because right after she made the pronouncements, Dong Dong calls to inform her that she once again hits the headlines. Bashers and unbelievers deem the accident as a publicity stunt. Jing Zhi whines, asking where her real fans are and why they are not defending her. She looks at Ling Qiao for help but he just tell her he’s Xuan Xuan’s fan. Haha! She then murmurs that only parents’ love are real love. Speaking of parents, she suddenly remembers she has them and they sure know about the news by now.

Jing Zhi already prepared her most convincing crocodile tears when Mom and Dad arrive to check on her. She had it all thought out and cries that she lost the baby because of the accident. Dad sure is worried and tries to console her. But Mom has already uncovered her lies when she went to the hospital and the doctor said she wasn’t pregnant. Mom is pissed and in anger, she throws pillows at Jing Zhi and starts to beat her up. Jing Zhi runs for cover and just in time, Ling Qiao arrives to save the day. Tehehe! He tells them that Jing Zhi only lied because she was afraid they will not approve of their relationship. Dad backs his story, assuring that Ling Qiao has a tough body and surely Jing Zhi will get pregnant in no time. Ahaha! Mom seems to be appeased by that. Haha!

Before they go home, Dad reminds Ling Qiao and Jing Zhi to get married first before having a baby. Ling Qiao is somehow enjoying the moment and promises to work hard for it. Haha!

FRIDAY ON TRIBES AND EMPIRES - EPISODE 13 ON JOY PRIME @9: PM

We open up wit Han Jiang and his merry band. Since he won the wager - by staying longest in the water - he reads his friend Wang’s letter where he discovered Wang’s sweetheart had almost been engaged to another. Oh no... Friend bemoans his fate and wishes he could be promoted but he is just a commoner. He longs to be a superior officer so he can then marry his lady and claims to be the kind of official that just needs to work smarter. Hmm.
This friend will be trouble, that's clear from the start. Also, Han Jiang's white teeth bedazzle everybody, including the viewers.
I am bewildered by the teeth, it's true. We may never have seen such blinding whiteness, ever.  Shawn's teeth are whiter than the Klan.

There’s a tense moment when Wang refers to Han Jiang’s “secret” but he merely means Han Jiang’s secret lady love. Pfft. Pffft indeed. I wish he'd chosen another lady love. Anyway, Han Jiang shows him rations he intercepted from two bandits on the mountain. He feels there is something strange about it as they have very high quality weapons. They both plan to sneak to the bandits camp that night for further investigation.
I will sneak places in the dark at night with you, Han Jiang.

The bandits camp is deserted and creepy. Suddenly Han Jiang hears pleas for help as he sees a man being pulled underground. He tries to save him but is unsuccessful, however he picks up a small gold ornament dropped by him and his friend also gets a helmet. Wang says to tell their superiors and pushes as he sees a promotion in the cards for reporting, but Han Jiang refuses that the Superiors will have no interest. He feels there’s something up about the place and they leave.
It was creeeepy alright. There were skeletons there too, two. Quite some burial site. And somebody knew where it was and started excavating it. Who might this have been? And: whatever pulls people underground killed everyone in the camp? (So far, I'm on episode 26 and I haven't found out myself)
I am way ahead of you and past the point of finding out the mystery underground but I'm still not entirely sure that I'm right about what pulled them under.

Back at their camp, Wang is very excited over their treasures but Han Jiang is more interested in figuring out the mystery behind the gold ball. Another one obsessed with balls. A marking on one of the weapons catches his eye and makes him wonder if they belonged to the King of the Wise. He tells Wang a story he learnt from his mentor - Earlier in Great Duan, the Wise had a state called Sumo State and Duan ancestor bestowed a crest on them...
Hm. Makes me wonder about how the Wise then buried their dead... just in the ground? That doesn't feel befit for a King.
I think Han Jiang and I should hole up somewhere private and have a think about this.

Han Jiang goes to meet a weapon maker in the camp to ask about how to set Wise locks and he is given  a book on lock designs. However when he gets back to his tent, the weapons are gone. He correctly infers that Wang took them to the superiors. However the superiors don’t act as impressed as Wang had anticipated and seemingly are more concerned with how many people knew of the discovery. Oh? I wonder whether it is ever cleared up why they acted this way. When he is dismissed, there is discourse between the two over whether to tell the royal court or not and eventually one of them goes behind the other’s back to deliver the news to Prince Lu.
One seemed pro ruling family (the one who alerts Lu), the other is clearly a Nanku man. Wanna bet he'll also tell someone?
I was impressed at how un-upset Han Jiang was when his friend basically went against his wishes, and not only that, took credit for what Han Jiang had done.

Wang goes back sheepishly to Han Jiang who is not upset but rather disappointed in his friend for lying about his role in finding the weapons. Wang wears him down with emotional blackmail and Han Jiang agrees to let him take all the credit. Things don’t work out as planned sadly and Wang gets beaten instead for making up rumors and acting without orders.
I couldn't even feel bad for Wang. He was too greedy. At first, I actually thought he'd steal the treasure, but he just wanted his promotion.
I had sympathy for him because of his desperation to get promoted so he could get married to his girl, and I figured if Han Jiang could be understanding so could I. So I did feel bad for his punishment even if he did deserve it.

Prince Lu arrives as a bloodied Wang is to be relieved of his duties as a Corporal and Han Jiang steps forward to proclaim they got the wrong man. He tells them he was the one who went to the campground and something about him seems familiar to Muyun Lu. His fighting style! And/or his weapon. Or have they met before? I don't remember. He quickly susses that he is Muru Han Jiang and gives him the condition to be his man else he will expose his identity. Han Jiang refuses and Lu tells everyone he is a Muru. LOOL.
I liked this scene. Han Jiang thought Prince Lu would not do what he said he'd do? He is silly.
Okay but now I'm mad at Wang. This is his fault.

Everything changes in camp with the reveal and even Wang isn’t grateful for saving his life. The ingrate. Instead he is pissed (jealous too) and tells him he only came forward to save him because he was a Muru and has his daddy arranging stuff for him. Frustrated with everything, Han Jiang leaves the camp.

FRIDAY ON DEFENDANT - EPISODE 4 ON JOY PRIME @ 8: AM

LIKE TO APPRECIATE, COMMENT AND SHARE

 
We go back to one week before the first trial. Jung-woo works on his case notes while the others in the cell read or play cards, although Sung-kyu is absent. The eldest prisoner, MIL-YANG, asks Jung-woo if he’s recovered his memory at all, and Jung-woo says he’s recovered a little of it, but there are many aspects of the case that seem suspicious, so he’ll have to keep doing research until the trial.

In his office, the warden speaks with someone on the phone about the upcoming trial, and that person suggests something which makes the warden smile as he agrees before making another phone call.

During their rounds, one of the guards finds cigarettes in Jung-woo’s cubicle; he swears they aren’t his, but they drag him out anyway. Tae-soo watches silently from the hallway as Jung-woo protests that his trial is coming up, and begs to be allowed to take his notebook with him. The officers ignore his pleas and throw him into solitary confinement, and the head of security gives Jung-woo’s notes to the warden, who smiles smugly.

The warden has lunch with Min-ho and passes Jung-woo’s notebook to him. When the warden asks why Min-ho is going so far, he says it’s because he blames Jung-woo for his brother’s suicide. He says he’s heard the man lost his memory a few times, and that it would be nice if he could lose it again before the trial. The warden assures him that even if Jung-woo doesn’t get amnesia again, there’s no way he can prepare for the trial now.

In solitary, Jung-woo bangs on the door in despair, asking to be let out. “You can’t get out,” comes Tae-soo’s voice from outside. Jung-woo explains that the cigarettes weren’t his, but Tae-soo already knows and says that for some reason the warden and head of security hate Jung-woo as much as he does. Jung-woo pleads for his help, saying he doesn’t remember anything while promising that he’ll find out who did it and prove it in court. Tae-soo just shakes his head.



“If I did it, I’ll pay for my sins,” Jung-woo promises. “But to do that, I need those notes. Help me, Tae-soo.” The younger man replies that last time, he only got out of solitary because he lost his memory, and it’ll likely be that way this time too.

One day before the first trial. Min-ho calls the warden to ask if Jung-woo’s amnesia has recurred yet, and the warden grumbles that it’s not like he has any control over Jung-woo’s memory loss. The head of security reports that Jung-woo is still the same, and the warden says in frustration that it’d be easier if Min-ho asked them to kill him instead. Well then.

In his cell, Jung-woo crawls over to the side of the floor where some light falls, looking at the word carved into the wood: Mother. He carves more letters onto the floor until his fingertips are all bloody, and pretends to sleep whenever the guard check on him. He curls his fingers in pain and asks himself, “What if I don’t recognize them?” He keeps at it until we see, bloody but complete on the floor: Park Bong-gu.

Back to the present. In solitary, gangster Shin Chul-shik has recognized Jung-woo and refuses to help him due to his anger over being wrongly convicted for the murder of his boss (that we now know was a casualty of the collision that killed the NFS doctor). Jung-woo pleads with the man to tell him what the writing says as the warden approaches, having heard about Jung-woo’s request to be put in the end cell.



Arriving, the guards search Chul-shik’s cell, but they find nothing. Jung-woo sighs in relief, but then the warden asks the gangster if he saw anything, promising him his own cell. “Oh, that,” says Chul-shik, and everyone tenses. “I saw three blowflies,” he says, which earns him a punch and a return to lockup. Once the guards are gone, Jung-woo asks why he did that, and Chul-shik says that now he’s the only one who knows.

At Sun-ho’s apartment, Grandma and Grandpa are over for a family meal. Chairman Cha mentions Eun-soo’s resemblance to his father, and Yeon-hee glances uneasily at Min-ho. The twins’ mother asks why Min-ho is taking such a long trip; she looks straight into Min-ho’s eyes and asks, “Are you keeping in touch with him, Sun-ho?” She tells him that when Min-ho comes back, he should tell him to settle down. (Clearly she has dementia, since she doesn’t know that one of the sons has died.)



Chairman Cha tells Min-ho that an athlete Sun-ho has been helping Chamyung sponsor got a medal in his last championship. Flustered for a moment, Min-ho eyes his brother’s fencing uniform in the corner and says he knows about it. Chairman Cha tells him to arrange a victory party, and suggests a celebratory fencing match between Min-ho and the athlete.

When Min-ho hesitates, his father asks if he’s afraid. Min-ho says no, adding that he’ll do it. After his father leaves, the warden calls and tells Min-ho that Jung-woo hasn’t given up on an appeal after all. Min-ho knocks Sun-ho’s fencing uniform to the ground and mutters, “Why is everyone doing this to me?”



Joon-hyuk arrives in his office to find Eun-hye, who asks him what’s going on with Jung-woo. She says she wants to help, but Joon-hyuk says Jung-woo will be better than her at preparing for the trial and arguing his case. Eun-hye asks if he subjected an amnesiac Jung-woo to the first trial as a prosecutor or as his friend, and whether, if Jung-woo loses his memory again, Joon-hyuk is planning to take him to court again without postponing his trial.

“What if Jung-woo didn’t lose his memory?” Joon-hyuk asks. He recounts how it happened four times: on the day of the on-site inspection, then one month later, then on the day of the first trial, and then the day after Jung-woo confessed that he was guilty. Joon-hyuk asks her how many times he should believe in Jung-woo, when he only loses his memory on conveniently important days.

However, Eun-hye asks what Jung-woo has gained if that’s the case; after all, he’s become a death row convict. Joon-hyuk replies that only Jung-woo knows the answer. As Eun-hye walks out, she remembers Jung-woo telling her that she shouldn’t have trusted her client, and wonders if he really lost his memories. In his office, Joon-hyuk recalls his friend breaking down in tears and wonders the same thing.



He takes out a photo of himself with Jung-woo and Ji-soo from the day the two men became prosecutors, and remembers how they all went to Ji-soo’s place to drink afterwards. Her mother came to sit with them, asking who would want to marry a strange girl like her, and both of her friends teased that she was just okay, measuring how much they liked her with their fingers (though Joon-hyuk’s measurement was a little larger).

Ji-soo poured a big glass of soju and said the one to drink the whole thing would become her husband. Jung-woo grabbed for the glass a tiny bit faster than Joon-hyuk and downed it in one shot, leaving his friend looking crushed. When Mom and Jung-woo laughingly referred to each other as in-laws, Ji-soo looked embarrassed but happy, and Joon-hyuk had quickly smiled to cover his disappointment.



At the prison, Chul-shik tells Jung-woo to help him get out of solitary confinement if he wants to know what’s written in his cell, mocking Jung-woo when he says he can’t do it. Jung-woo gets angry, saying they’re in the same situation, but Chul-shik yells that he’s been framed, and since it’s Jung-woo’s fault, he better think of a way to help him.

At work, Min-ho returns from the bathroom and notices that his office door is ajar. He finds an envelope on his desk that contains a medical certificate and rushes out, pursuing an unknown man into the stairwell and down the stairs.

When Min-ho exits to the lobby, he yells for everyone to freeze, and approaches a man who has stopped on his way out the doors. Before he gets to him, Chairman Cha appears and asks what’s wrong. Min-ho bows and says it’s nothing, and when he looks back at the doors, the man is gone. Min-ho asks the security team to show him the surveillance footage, but they remind him that he (well, Sun-ho) asked them to turn off the cameras on his floor.

Min-ho goes back to his office and rips the medical certificate up. Thinking of Jung-woo on his last visit to the jail, he decides it can’t be him, and goes into his secret lair of cheat sheets. He studies the team of prosecutors, whose faces he has pinned up on the wall in a creepy echo of an evidence board as he tries to figure out who it is.

Investigator Go arrives at the prosecutor’s office with food for his coworkers, and among them is the friend that passed Eun-hye the investigation video. Investigator Go goes to his desk and stealthily takes out a file that includes a medical certificate, with a note indicating Min-ho’s fear of needles. He thinks back to Jung-woo’s advice that when an investigation reaches a wall, you have to shake your opponent to get them to show their weakness.

Still in solitary, Jung-woo comes to a decision and tells Chul-shik that he’d better keep his promise. The next mealtime, Jung-woo asks the prisoner giving out food for a favor, though we don’t get to hear what it is. A little while later, Tae-soo releases Chul-shik and sends him back to the regular cells. Tae-soo opens Jung-woo’s cell next, and asks if it’s true that he remembers where Ha-yeon is.

“Yes. I remembered,” says Jung-woo, clenching his trembling hand, “where I… buried Ha-yeon.” Tae-soo says that if he’s lying again, he doesn’t know what he’ll do to him. Jung-woo says Tae-soo’s name, then hugs him. “Hyung is really sorry,” he says. Tae-soo orders the other guards to take him away.

The head of security slaps Tae-soo when he finds out about Jung-woo’s release, asking if it’s because they’re brothers-in-law. Tae-soo says that relationship no longer exists but won’t say why he did it, arousing his superior’s suspicion.



In the communal cell, Sung-kyu offers Jung-woo soy milk in lieu of tofu, and the gangster hyung, who is in for gambling, tells him to drink up. MONG-CHI comments that Gangster Hyung sure cares a lot about Jung-woo, and the older man says he wants his son to be a prosecutor when he grows up.

Rockfish mocks Jung-woo again, saying it’s done him no good to be a prosecutor since he killed his wife and daughter, but the others tell Jung-woo not to take him seriously, as he really cares for Jung-woo and even used to give him his medicine before. (Seriously, way too many people are feeding Jung-woo things.) As his cellmates go back to bickering, Jung-woo thinks about Tae-soo’s warning.



Yeon-hee has lunch with her friends, one of whom is getting divorced, though she’s matter-of-fact about it; another friend remarks that none of them married for love anyway. One of them says mockingly that at least Yeon-hee has no regrets, since she’s with an identical man—she dated the younger brother and married the heir, after all.

The others say she had to save her father’s company, and besides, if she’d married Min-ho, imagine what she’d been going through now. But the catty friend says that he wouldn’t have ended up dying if Yeon-hee hadn’t dumped him. Yeon-hee grabs her arm and says, “Do you really know what kind of decision I made?”

She leaves, remembering when she arrived at Min-ho’s—really Sun-ho’s—funeral to pay her respects, and how people whispered when she stood in front of his memorial. Min-ho said her name affectionately, and she closed her eyes as if to steel herself for the firing squad before telling Eun-soo to greet his uncle. She then glared tearfully at Min-ho and walked out.

In the prison yard, Chul-shik tells Jung-woo that one of the words is “doorbell,” although he says he’s erased them all, so Jung-woo will just have to believe him. Jung-woo chokes him, furious, but Chul-shik swears he’s telling the truth. He says he’ll reveal the words one at a time—and he’ll let Jung-woo know the next time he needs something. Jung-woo repeats the word to himself over and over, trying to figure out what it means.



Min-ho stands in front of a mirror, fencing saber in his shaking hand. He flinches as he remembers his injury, and recalls having his eye unwrapped at the hospital after it healed. The doctor said he’d have permanent blurred vision, and Sun-ho broke down in tears and apologies. Chairman Cha told Sun-ho that as the future leader of Chamyung Group, it was pathetic for him to make a big deal out of something this minor. When their mother tried to comfort Min-ho, he pushed her away.

Taking a deep breath and staring into the mirror, Min-ho says spitefully, “Father, the Cha Sun-ho you liked so much is gone now. Because I killed him.” He practices into the night.

The next morning, Eun-hye’s aunt asks if she’ll be able to continue as a public defender. When she finds out Eun-hye didn’t get the form of appointment, Aunt asks her why the client even met her if he wasn’t going to sign. She tells her to apply to a law firm instead, but Eun-hye is struck by her earlier words and rushes off to the prison.

When she sees Jung-woo, he asks her how long she keeps planning to come see him. She says she has a question: Can he remember which hand he used to stab his wife? Ji-soo was stabbed by someone left-handed—did Jung-woo really stab her? She stands and keeps pushing him to try to remember. Jung-woo springs up angrily. “That’s right! I stabbed her! The case file and crime scene photos say I stabbed her. I can’t find any proof that I didn’t do it! So what?”

“It’s true that you lost your memory,” says Eun-hye quietly, sitting down. She says she had thought it possible that he didn’t. Jung-woo tells her she can stop coming now that she’s confirmed it. But she asks her real question now: Why, when he had no intention of letting her take his case, did he meet her every time she came to see him? Didn’t he have some hope that she might bring information that he didn’t know about? Even today, she says, he still came to meet her.



He tells her to stop it, but she presses on. “You know what kind of attorney I am. I’m not a logical person, but you know that I’m the only person who can help you now.” She points out that now that he’s decided to continue with the appeal despite not regaining his memory, he’ll need someone to help him from outside. “Let me be that person,” she pleads.

He stares at her, tears in his eyes, so she says gently that she’ll answer on his behalf: “Help me, Lawyer Seo Eun-hye.” He’s still speechless, so she wipes away a tear and asks brightly how she can help, since he asked. His mouth twitches in a tiny smile, and she happily extends her hand, which he shakes reluctantly. This time, when she asks what she can do, he says he’ll see her next week.

That night, Jung-woo dreams again about his last night with his family, but this time, as Dream Jung-woo falls asleep, the doorbell rings in their apartment. Jung-woo sits up in shock at the realization that someone came to his home that night.

When Joon-hyuk hears that Jung-woo wants to see him, he has Jung-woo escorted to the prosecutor’s office. When his friend arrives, Joon-hyuk has his restraints removed and orders some food and soju. He says he wanted to have a drink with Jung-woo, since they might not get another chance. Jung-woo tells him what he’s remembered; Joon-hyuk says there was nothing about it in the investigation record, but he’ll look into it, and Jung-woo thanks him.

As Jung-woo leaves, Joon-hyuk’s investigator asks if he should look into who came to the house that night, but Joon-hyuk says he’ll do it himself.



We flash back again to the night of the murder, Jung-woo asleep in his bed and Ji-soo reading, when the doorbell rings. It’s 12:45 a.m., and she wonders who it is at this hour, and when she opens the door, there stands Joon-hyuk.

In the present, Joon-hyuk broods at his desk, and Jung-woo sits glaring into the dark.
