So… I just noticed that my recaps are coming out a few days before the free version of the episodes are on DramaFever and Viki are. Since everyone seems to be enjoying it. I will continue with my once a day posting since I’m a premium member on DramaFever. I will however suggest that you not read the recap before you watch the episode.

Quick recap. Thanks to Tian Jing Zhi (Wu Qian) getting into a car accident and her blood brings Xue Ling Qiao (Kim Tae Hwan) back from the dead. Li Yan Zhi (Fu Jia) and Ye Chen are looking for the now missing body. Jing Zhi and Lin Qiao start living together even though she tries to get rid of him. She is determined to get him out of her house so she agrees to help him track down his enemy so she can go back living her peaceful life. She gets Ling Qiao a job as a taekwondo teacher so that he can make some money, and he got cast in her drama to play the main villain. Zhang Xuan Xuan (Shen Meng Chen) is suspicious of Ling Qiao and asks Li Yan Zhi (Fu Jia) to look into his background. Meanwhile Ling Qiao, Jing Zhi and Feng Dong Dong (Yang Aro) continue attempting to track down Ling Qiao’s enemy, whom they now have proof is alive. However Yan Zhi and Ye Chen are getting closer and closer to the truth behind the dormant body, while Ling Qiao and Jing Zhi’s relationship gets closer. Mind you the accusation of murder that is facing Ling Qiao  might cause a little rough sailing.

Back to the morning when Jing Zhi wakes up and complains that Ling Qiao didn’t wake her up and he tells her that he wanted some peace and quiet, and she takes offense to it. She starts complaining that he is not squeezing the toothpaste the right way. When he doesn’t answer she goes looking for him to find that he has disappeared. She goes back to bed and complains that Ling Qiao is being too loud. He doesn’t believe her so her asks her what the female lead in the show said, however the TV is on so quietly that she can’t hear anything. He cuts her some fruit but at first she complains that it is too big and then it’s too small. Ling Qiao gives up and gives her yogurt and asks her when she’s going to stop nitpicking. She tells him that woman are very picky and if the woman he is interested in was already been married she’ll be even more so.  Ling Qiao tells her again that there is nothing going on between him and the mother from the dojang.

She probes about the murderer and he says that there are no new clues, and when she asks if she can help he tells her he doesn’t want her involved. Since she is still angry she tells him that he wants to help him so she can get rid of him quicker. He tells her that there is one thing that she can do, but it must be very subtle about it.

Chen arrives at the cafe and can’t find Jing Zhi, so he calls her and she tell him where she is. Chen asks her why she wants to meet and she tells him it’s to tease him, and she shows him the picture of him and Xuan Xuan that has been circulating. Chen really doesn’t care about the photo, and tells her the marriage was a business ploy anyways. Jing Zhi tells him that both of the company’s stock have plummeted since the picture was leaked. Chen simply says that it is the side effect of beneficial marriages, they are not always reliable. Jing Zhi asks if he really likes Xuan Xuan, and he admits he likes her a little. He asks he really tried to pursue Xuan Xuan if Jing Zhi would stop him. Jing Zhi tells him that he can’t because she and Xuan Xuan made a promise to not like each other’s boyfriends or ex-boyfriends. He tells her that they never even kissed so how can that even be considered dating. He asked how long they have been close and Jing Zhi admits that it’s been since she was 2 years old.

Jing Zhi asks Chen about the dormant body, which he confirms hasn’t be found. She offhandedly asks if he even thought that maybe the dormant body has come back to life. He asks why she thinks that, and Jing Zhi tells Chen about how there wasn’t a HD version of the video and the web company came to her production team to film something that they could use. She motions him closer and mentions, that if her production company had nothing to do with the original video, what was in it.

Chen goes back to lab and reviews the video against the picture he has of the dormant body. He calls Yan Zhi and tells him that he will need his help the next day. Chen meets with Yan Zhi and Yan Zhi starts off by asking him that if he really thinks that the monster in the video is the same monster that he is looking for. He tells him that he won’t know unless they take a look into it. Chen tells Yan Zhi not to talk while they talk with the manager at the web company. Though Manager Feng didn’t want to admit it, Chen subtly threatened him and he gives them all of the information that he has on the photographer and the buyer. Since there really isn’t any information about the photographer they decide to meet with Detective Zhang, though Chen tells Yan Zhi that he will remain quite while they meet with the Detective. While Chen reads the photographer’s screen ID he laughs. Yan Zhi asks him what’s so funny, and Chen tells him that the screen id is Chef Bodyguard and Xuan Xuan’s fans are called bodyguards.

Jing Zhi calls Ling Qiao and calls him Chef Bodyguard, and she holds up her phone so he can hear all of the paparazzis asking questions to Xuan Xuan about her relationship with Chen. Dong Dong tells them they have the wrong van and this is Jing Zhi’s car not Xuan Xuan’s. Jing Zhi tells Ling Qiao that his angel is stuck now that she has a new sweetheart. Ling Qiao tells her the it’s not Xuan Xuan who is stuck it’s her and he has eyes on her new sweetheart and can take him at any time. Jing Zhi reminds him not to get any blood on his clothes because it’s hard to get it out of clothes.

Some reporters are staking out the Hong Shi corporation and Shi Guang’s assistant tells him that if he doesn’t make a statement that it is likely that the reports will stay there indefinitely. Shi Guang tells her to go get one reporter, one that they normally deal with for charity events. When they are set up that all the fake rumors are making it harder for them to have a normal relationship. He assures her that Chen is just Xuan Xuan’s friend and they were going to only announce their marriage on Xuan Xuan’s birthday, however there has been a date set for the end of the year, and Chen will be at their wedding.

Chen and Yan Zhi meets Detective Zhang and he confirms that he did have a client who paid him to get the photographer’s information. He admits that he did find it a little odd that they were interested in such a simple video. He gave him the seller’s information and what transpired after that he doesn’t know. When Yang Zhi asks for the buyer’s information Detective Zhang declines telling him that he would not be able to provide him with that, due to the confidentiality clause. Since they can’t do anything else they leave.

Dong Dong finally gets all of the reporters away and tells Jing Zhi that they are crazy and they started asking him about his thoughts about Xuan Xuan. He tells her that since she didn’t come into work that day that the scenes that they were going to shoot have to be postponed. Jing Zhi perks up and ask if that means they can go home, and when he confirms she gets super happy. Dong Dong asks if it’s because she can see Ling Qiao quicker and she tells him that he’s is out today but maybe they’ll celebrate when he gets back.

Ling Qiao goes to talk with Detective Zhang, how ever he is on his way out. When he tells him he can come back tomorrow Ling Qiao places a hand on his shoulder, and tells them they’re talking. He sits in Detective Zhang’s chair and motions him to sit across from him. Detective Zhang ask if he is with the police, which Ling Qiao confirms that he is the seller of the video and he wants the buyer’s information. Detective Zhang tells Ling Qiao exactly what he told the police and refuses to give him any information. Ling Qiao gets mad and hits the desk breaking it, he apologizes and tries to bribe the Detective which doesn’t work and Detective Zhang leaves.

When Ling Qiao arrives home Jing Zhi asks how it went and Ling Qiao shakes his head. Jing Zhi tells him not to worry, there will be other ways and he still has her. She pats his shoulder trying to make him feel better and tells him that she believes in him. Ling Qiao mentions that she really wants to get rid of him and when he’s in his room Jing Zhi whispers that she doesn’t and looks sad.

Xuan Xuan finds out about the wedding announcement and becomes furious and storms into Shi Guang’s office. When she arrives his assistant tries to stop her since he is in a meeting, however she goes in anyways and tells him they need to talk. Shi Guang apologizes to the man and after he leave he brings Xuan Xuan a cup of coffee. Xuan Xuan starts tearing into him about the wedding announcement and how dare he make that decision without consulting her. Shi Guang reminds her that they’re agreement was that neither of them were to date while they were engaged. Xuan Xuan stresses that she and Chen are only friends and she is not dating him. She tells him that he should respect her, and Shi Guang kinda flips out on her telling her that respect is mutual and he tells her that she should stop treating him like a lesser person because he isn’t on, but he can compromise. Xuan Xuan asks if he has a plan one how to get out of this and he tells her that he is planning on throwing a charity even to take eyes off of their relationship

Ling Qiao follows Detective Zhang in a taxi, which of course he notices. Detective Zhang tells Ling Qiao that he will not lead him to his client. Ling Qiao tells him to go back to his client and tell him that he has a lot of time on his hands, which he is sure that he doesn’t Detective Zhang is about to leave and asks Ling Qiao if he wants a lift because it’s hard to get a taxi from where they are, and he refuses.

That evening Ling Qiao and Jing Zhi are sitting on the porche. Jing Zhi asks if Ling Qiao had escorted the mother and child home that evening, and Ling Qiao tells her that he escorts them home every evening. Jing Zhi gets jealous and tells him that he should be spending more time finding his enemy so he can leave the house. Chen calls and asks to meet up with Jing Zhi and she acts super sweet to try and get Ling Qiao jealous, which fails. He laughs and tells her that humans have 2 emotions that are similar, love and the desire to possess. He reminds her that when he first came to her house she told him everything in her house was hers and shouldn’t be touched. He reminds her that she is not one of her possessions.

Shi Guang plans the charity event and makes sure his assistant gets a copy of it to Xuan Xuan.

Chen and Jing Zhi meet up at the lab. When Chen asks if wedding news was really, Jing Zhi tells him it’s fake but Xuan Xuan is probably freaking out when she found out. Chen gives Jing Zhi coffee and she seems to like it until he mentions that it’s cat poop coffee and she freaks out and runs to the bathroom. When she comes out Professor Li is waiting for her, he tells her he knows that the monster saved her, and she pretends to be confused. He tells her he knows how to kill him. Jing Zhi pretends to know nothing and tells him that Chen had told her that he had taken the divorce hard and maybe he should take more time off. He agrees that she probably doesn’t know anything and is naive to the situation.

Jing Zhi is in the store with Ling Qiao and she tells him about the encounter with Professor Li and how she acting dumb and wasn’t going to give him any information. Ling Qiao gets angry at her and reminds her that she promised not to be alone with him. She tries to say that she wasn’t really alone and Ling Qiao tells her if there is no 3rd party she is alone. She tells him it’s not her fault and starts throwing things at him and leaves in a huff.

Jing Zhi goes over to Xuan Xuan’s house and cries. Xuan Xuan tells her that it’s time for afternoon tea and suggests that she has some before leaving. Xuan Xuan tells her that he life is a mess and she’s crying over a lovers spat. She tells her to go home do something cute and it will all be forgiven. Jing Zhi asks Xuan Xuan if she would have a relationship with Chen and Xuan Xuan reminds her of their agreement. Jing Zhi tells her that if she really liked him she wouldn’t care, but Xuan Xuan would. Jing Zhi asks her about what she was going to do about the wedding.

TUESDAY ON DEFENDANT - EPISODE 6 ON JOY PRIME @ 8: AM

LIKE TO APPRECIATE, COMMENT AND SHARE

Three days after the Wolha-dong murder. Jung-woo rides in a van with Joon-hyuk, who tells him their superiors don’t know about this, and he can’t protect him from any consequences. Jung-woo nods.

Joon-hyuk arrives to find Mother Oh at Ji-soo’s funeral, and Jung-woo follows him in, wearing a baseball cap. When she sees him, she says, “You didn’t do it, right?” But he only apologizes, and she begins to cry, leaning on Joon-hyuk for support. Jung-woo stands before the memorial, tears in his eyes, and tells Ji-soo, “It was painful, wasn’t it? I’m sorry. This is all my fault. I’m going to find our Ha-yeon.”

He goes back to his distraught mother-in-law and takes her hand, pressing it meaningfully. He apologizes again, and she stops crying as the two men turn to leave. On their way out, they run into Tae-soo, who loses it as he threatens to kill him and tells him to get lost. Mother Oh opens her hand and unfolds the note left there by Jung-woo, and we hear in his voice, “Mother, please make sure you don’t clean the house.”

In the present, Joon-hyuk arrives at the scene where Tae-soo discovered the suitcase, but the case is empty, and Tae-soo is gone. Tae-soo barges into Jung-woo’s cell and drags him up by the collar, reminding him that he’d said he would kill him if he lied. He asks again where Ha-yeon is, saying she’s not in the bag. Jung-woo is confused and asks why there was a bag in the place he told Tae-soo about. Tae-soo keeps demanding an answer as the other guards drag him out.

Eun-hye stands outside Investigator Go’s hospital room—and fortunately he’s alive, though unconscious. She wonders what he’d wanted to tell her—surely something about Jung-woo’s case. Her friend from the prosecutor’s office, Prosecutor YEO MIN-KYUNG, joins her and says they haven’t been able to find any leads on the hit-and-run perpetrator. Min-kyung asks if Eun-hye knows why Investigator Go went to the NFS, but Eun-hye says they never had a chance to speak.

Min-kyung shares that the doctor said Investigator Go may not wake up. Eun-hye asks her friend to look into it more; she has a feeling this wasn’t an accident. On her way out, she sees a news report about the discovery of the empty suitcase that had been suspected to be holding Ha-yeon’s body.

Min-ho reads the same news report and wonders how “they” could take care of things in such an incompetent way, looking angry.

Jung-woo is awake in his cell that night, pondering over the new information too. He figures that since he led Tae-soo to that location, he must have buried the suitcase there. But then, where is Ha-yeon? He thinks back to the 16k clue again, trying to put it together.

Tae-soo unlocks the cell door. “Think carefully,” he tells Jung-woo. “Did you really kill Ha-yeon? The suitcase was empty. Doesn’t that mean she’s alive?” Jung-woo avoids his eyes, and Tae-soo drops to his knees. “As long as Ha-yeon is alive, I’ll forgive you. Please, just return Ha-yeon to us,” he says tearfully, grabbing Jung-woo’s leg. “Where is Ha-yeon?” Jung-woo reaches out to touch him, but clenches his hand instead, tears in his eyes.

Min-ho meets his black clad minion, SEOK, next to a burning garbage can in an abandoned lot. Seok hands him the NFS file, and Min-ho verifies it and throws it in the fire. Seok asks what he should do about “the woman lawyer,” and Min-ho says he’ll look into it. But, he says, he watched the news and there seems to be a problem. Seok apologizes, though he doesn’t seem to know what Min-ho is talking about.

Min-ho says that he worked so hard to get this far, so how could Seok take care of this so poorly? He takes out a burning timber from the drum and hits Seok with it repeatedly, asking why everyone keeps making him into a bad guy. Min-ho tells Seok to find the evidence, then makes a call to the deputy chief in the prosecutor’s office.

The deputy chief sits in his office with Prosecutor Choi and Joon-hyuk, asking if Joon-hyuk is going to continue in the same way after the case has blown up in the media. Joon-hyuk says the trial will go on as planned, but Prosecutor Choi angrily points out that the suitcase was empty, and now there’s Investigator Go’s accident too. He asks him to honestly tell him if he’s sure Jung-woo’s guilty. Joon-hyuk says he’s sure, though he avoids his superior’s gaze.

Prosecutor Choi says that if there’s a one percent chance that Jung-woo is innocent, he’ll take responsibility and re-investigate this case from the beginning. The deputy chief explodes at this, but Joon-hyuk looks straight at Prosecutor Choi and says there is no chance.

Eun-hye asks Joon-hyuk to do a DNA test on the suitcase, and wonders if he will change the charges regarding Ha-yeon if nothing is found. He says no, that the case record is clear. She tells him to let her know when the results are out and gets up to go, but he tells her to pass on to Jung-woo that nothing will change. She asks if he’s not just refusing to admit he made a mistake, but Joon-hyuk says this is a case they can’t win.

Eun-hye goes to visit Jung-woo and points out that he must have left the evidence of the empty suitcase on purpose, as it has raised the question of whether he might be innocent of Ha-yeon’s murder. She shows Jung-woo the surveillance video of him putting the suitcase in his car, the bag obviously too light to contain Ha-yeon’s body—which means they can still find her.

Eun-hye shows him the note he gave his mother-in-law, before he lost his memory for the first time. Jung-woo tells her he must go home and see for himself why he asked Mother Oh not to clean. When he tells her to contact Investigator Go about it, she shares the news of his accident and asks Jung-woo if he remembers the young man’s frequent visits, but he draws a blank. Jung-woo asks her to contact Prosecutor Choi instead.

The deputy chief prosecutor meets Min-ho for dinner and assures him that Eun-hye knows nothing, as the accident happened as soon as she picked up the phone. (Okay, it’s suspicious that he knows that in such detail.)

Joon-hyuk joins them, and the deputy chief introduces the two men, telling Joon-hyuk that the Chamyung Group president recommended him for the UN position. When Joon-hyuk asks why, Min-ho simply compliments his talent. He asks about Jung-woo’s upcoming appeal, and the deputy chief assures Min-ho there’s nothing to worry about.

As he’s leaving, Joon-hyuk’s mother calls, saying his father has gotten into a drunken fistfight again, so she asks him to call the police station on his behalf, and for around five thousand dollars in settlement money.

Eun-hye goes and relays her client’s request to Prosecutor Choi, who seems genuinely concerned about Jung-woo. Prosecutor Choi goes to Joon-hyuk’s office and asks why he didn’t tell him that he did the on-site investigation with a stand-in, and asks how he could still be so convinced of Jung-woo’s guilt. He says Jung-woo’s lawyer wants to lodge an official complaint, but that he’s held her off by promising to let Jung-woo see the crime scene.

Jung-woo arrives at the prosecutor’s office, and Joon-hyuk tells him that they have to do this quickly and quietly. Prosecutor Choi comes into the room and emotionally hugs Jung-woo, apologizing for not looking into the case more carefully. He wishes him luck and tells him he hopes he’ll remember something.

Eun-hye meets them at the apartment building, and Jung-woo enters his old home, imagining his family welcoming him back. Dream Ha-yeon runs to him, and he embraces her, crying, as she disappears before his eyes. Joon-hyuk warns that they don’t have time (jerk), and Jung-woo goes to Ha-yeon’s room, only to break down completely. When he comes back to the living room, he composes himself, and a memory comes back to him of the morning after the murder.

He was wearing a jacket over his pajamas, clutching Ji-soo’s body and sobbing over it when a security guard saw them and ran off in alarm. “What should I do now?” he asked aloud, before lowering her gently to the floor. He saw a camcorder on the floor, put in a tape and watched it, the screen visible only to him, until the police came in and arrested him.

In the present, Jung-woo looks frantically around the coffee table, but is unable to find anything. Joon-hyuk rushes him out, but Eun-hye stops Jung-woo before he leaves and asks if he remembered anything. When he gives her a tiny nod, she says she’ll visit him tomorrow. (I really wish people would stop sharing all this information with Joon-hyuk.)

Back at the prosecution’s interrogation room, Jung-woo remembers taking the memory card out of the camcorder, and that he definitely hid it somewhere. A shadowy figure watches through the observation window as the deputy chief comes in, saying he’s been worried about Jung-woo. He asks carefully if Jung-woo remembered anything when he went to see the crime scene, but Jung-woo says no; he simply wanted to go home.

The deputy chief tells him about Investigator Go’s accident and asks him if he knows why the man was at the NFS, but Jung-woo pretends this is news to him. Jung-woo asks who’s in charge of the case, and the deputy chief tells him it’s Prosecutor Yeo Min-kyung (Eun-hye’s friend).

Jung-woo wonders why the deputy chief is here, and asks for a glass of water. When the older man steps out, Jung-woo notices that the microphone on the table is on, and narrows his eyes at the one-way mirror, wondering who is watching him. Unseen, Min-ho stares back at him.

As he passes the observation room on his way out, Jung-woo breaks away from his guards and bursts through the door, but the room is empty. When he’s on his way down in the elevator, however, it stops and its doors open to reveal Min-ho, who joins them.

Min-ho flashes back to meeting the same doctor who diagnosed Jung-woo’s memory loss; she tells him that if someone lost their memory because they don’t want to remember it, it would be strange to remember the person who caused that memory loss. Min-ho asks if he can regain that memory, and she says the greater the shock, the smaller the possibility. She asks if she should prescribe something to help him relax, but he says that if it’s a memory he didn’t want, it’s probably best left forgotten.

Sung-kyu practices his case argument in front of his admiring cellmates when Jung-woo returns. They tell Jung-woo the young man has been practicing the way the prosecutor taught him, and they wish them both success in their trials.

Min-ho enters his office to find Yeon-hee in his secret room, calmly waiting for him. She remarks on the change in what was Sun-ho’s refuge, and he drags her out angrily. She tells him not to worry, since she doesn’t want him to get caught either. He asks how long she’s going to do this, and she replies, “Until my son inherits Chamyung.”

He hugs her and says that Min-ho, Yeon-hee, and Eun-soo have all returned to their proper places now, but she calls him crazy. “And you? You think you aren’t?” he asks her. She breaks from his hold and stalks out. Min-ho sighs and wonders how much more time she needs.

Jung-woo and Chul-shik are back on the roof for their punishment, and the gangster starts to ask for his next favor when Jung-woo reaches over and takes a piece of paper from his uniform pocket. It has the first two words on it, doorbell and 16k, and a third: Nemo. Chul-shik finally notices, and mutters, “I’m ruined.” Ha.

Jung-woo remembers feeding their clownfish with Ha-yeon, and says to himself, “That was the place.” At that moment, Eun-hye arrives to visit him, and he tells her he’s remembered why he said not to clean the house—he dropped the memory card in their fish tank. She rushes to his home and finds the card right where Jung-woo predicted it would be.

It’s trial day for both Jung-woo and Sung-kyu, and Gangster Hyung pulls out a block of tofu, telling them both to do well at their trials so that they don’t have to come back here. He gets emotional as they each take a bite, and the others rib him for it, except Mil-yang, who smiles encouragingly at Jung-woo.

Eun-hye gives herself a pep talk in the mirror as she gets ready, telling herself that even if she loses all her other cases, she has to win this one. She meets Jung-woo at the courthouse and shows him the results from the NFS’s analysis of the suitcase, which contained no trace of Ha-yeon’s DNA. She also shows him the memory card she found, and tells him to plead his own case. Jung-woo says he can’t do it, because if he’s the culprit, he wouldn’t be able to forgive himself for arguing that he was innocent.

Sung-kyu’s trial begins, and he tells the judge he’ll be arguing his case himself, referring to his notes. He impresses the prosecution with his opening argument, and thinks back to Jung-woo telling him that the law isn’t difficult, not the way protecting your family is, and Sung-kyu has done well at the latter. Sung-kyu looks moved at the memory.

In a different courtroom, Joon-hyuk approaches Eun-hye and wishes her luck, which he says is what he does when he knows he’ll win. She says they’ll have to wait and see. Tae-soo brings Jung-woo in, and the trial begins with the judge asking why the defendant is appealing.

Eun-hye rises and says that Jung-woo pleads innocence; the prosecution’s case rests on speculation, as the suitcase said to have contained Ha-yeon’s body was both empty and free of her DNA. Joon-hyuk argues that she could easily have been wrapped in something first, and that there’s no other explanation for where Ha-yeon went, but Eun-hye replies that this too is speculation with no evidence to back it up.

At Sung-kyu’s trial, the prosecution accuses him of assaulting a police officer who stopped him when he was fleeing the accident, but Sung-kyu says he simply pushed the man. When the officer is called to the witness stand, he says there was a physical fight; Sung-kyu replies that he was never read his Miranda rights, which the officer confirms. In the face of the prosecutor’s increasing irritation, Sung-kyu declares that since he wasn’t Mirandized, he was resisting unlawful arrest, and thus, it was self-defense.

Meanwhile, at Jung-woo’s trial, the judge says they’ll skip the evidence from the original trial and asks if they have new evidence, and both Joon-hyuk and Eun-hye say they do. Eun-hye submits hers first—it’s footage from the scene of the crime, and Joon-hyuk looks nervous.

Eun-hye says it seems Ji-soo pressed the record button herself right before she died, and hits play. On the TV, we see a bloodied Ji-soo lying on the floor, looking into the camera. She turns her head as a black-clad leg and foot crosses the frame. Eun-hye says that since the memory card was in water for a long time the audio was lost, but points out that a husband who killed his wife at home after a quarrel wouldn’t be wearing shoes; nor were the prints of these shoes found on the floor. When police arrived, Jung-woo hadn’t run away but was crying and holding his dead wife—could he really have obliterated his footprints? She says the real culprit is not the defendant, but the owner of those shoes.

Joon-hyuk says that’s possible, but then why didn’t the defendant bring up this advantageous evidence when he was arrested? He says he couldn’t, because it was Jung-woo himself in the video.

He shows an interrogation video of Jung-woo before his memory loss, where he confessed to killing Ji-soo and Ha-yeon. Joon-hyuk asked if it was true, and why he did it; Jung-woo said that he doubted Ji-soo. He said that he put Ha-yeon into a suitcase and buried her, though it was night, so he didn’t remember exactly where. The audience gasps in horror and sadness.

Joon-hyuk asks Jung-woo who the owner of the shoes in the video is. Jung-woo asks, “Are you saying it was me?” Eun-hye rises in objection. The judges asks Joon-hyuk why he didn’t reveal this footage at the first trial, and he replies that the prosecution didn’t believe that Jung-woo actually lost his memory, and so they didn’t reveal his confession because it might lessen Jung-woo’s sentence. He says he’s decided to reveal it now since Jung-woo continues to deny the charges.

Tears running down his face, Jung-woo says, “It was me. It was me.” The judge sentences him to death.

Sung-kyu and Jung-woo return to their cell, and the other prisoners begin to sing their congratulations when Sung-kyu stops them, nodding at Jung-woo. “It was me,” Jung-woo repeats numbly. “I was mistaken.” He thinks back to all the clues he’d thought might prove his innocence. Sung-kyu tells the others he’s not sure what happened; his own sentencing is tomorrow, and if he’s found not guilty, he’ll be set free.

That night, Jung-woo fingers pieces of a plastic bag while the others sleep. Oh no, I have a bad feeling about this.

Min-ho sits in his living room watching the coverage of the appeal, smirking in satisfaction, when Seok calls to tell him he’s found “that kid.” The person committed a crime and ended up in jail; Min-ho asks which prison.

In his cell, Jung-woo shapes the plastic into a noose and ties it to a bar high on the wall. He whispers, “I killed Ji-soo and Ha-yeon. I did it. Me.” As he steps up to the noose, Sung-kyu’s voice suddenly comes from the darkness. “Why would you die, Hyung? You didn’t do it.” Jung-woo turns to see the young man watching him from across the room.

“It was me,” says Sung-kyu.

“What?” asks Jung-woo. Sung-kyu repeats that it was him, then begins to ominously sing Ha-yeon’s favorite song. Jung-woo walks toward him slowly, then grabs Sung-kyu and demands to know, “Who are you?”

TUESDAY ON TRIBES AND EMPIRES - EPISODE 15 ON JOY PRIME @9: PM

Yu Ning tells Han Jiang the events of the Hunting grounds that led to her expulsion. She tells him that she was rescued in an underground cave but doesn’t tell him who rescued her as that would be betraying a confidence. He realizes that the Hunting grounds are not so far from where they are presently and asks if Nanny Su had ever mentioned any strange underground occurrences to her.
What a coinkidinky. I guess in this universe, all roads lead to underground. (Is it just me or was this waterfall location used for Wingkind Emperor Novoland too?)
Like Korea, there is only one open bit of land for long majestic nature spots by rivers in alllll of China. There's probably only one cliff to fall off of, also.

Back at the house, Nanny Su takes care of Prince Lu (aha?) and probes him to find out who he is but he evades her questions. Yu Ning returns without Han Jiang- he doesn’t want to risk Nanny Su seeing him since they already met in Novoland (er, but he's staying at her house?!) - and is surprised to see Prince Lu lying in the courtyard. She almost blows his cover but he stops her just in time.
The Prince who doesn't want to be a prince and the Muru who doesn't want to be a Muru met in the forest... (could be the beginning of a joke)
A prince and a warrior walk into a prophecy...

Prince Lu tells Han Jiang that he is now in love with someone and Han Jiang gets a bit worked up suspecting it’s his lady love. Prince Lu refuses to confirm who it is though. LOL. Han Jiang then tries to make him go back to Tian Qi city stating he can’t hide his identity for long but Lu disagrees citing his severe injury. In a pique of spite, Han Jiang aggressively grinds herbs, preventing Lu’s beauty sleep.
There's always been these women at school everybody was in love with and I never understood why. The same applies here.
Well, she's a nice girl and she's pretty enough. Lu I think started off because of the prophecy but then began to like her, and Han Jiang met her at an important moment. Sometimes all love needs to begin is proximity. I think the mistake here is that the director is not playing up those things about her which are actually setting her apart: she's a noted poet and she doesn't play games with people.

At Tian Qi city, Muyun He Ge gets word that although Lu has found clues to location of the Sovereign Seal, he has gone missing. He is happy about the disappearance and him and Nanku Qi plan to make both his and Muyun Han disappearance from court permanent. Nanku Qi says he will use the Helan clan to deal with Han.
Oh, the Helan Clan. I remember them. Also: I don't like HeGe at ALL, but he surely is the most well-dressed of the princes.
I have a hard time remembering him when he's off screen. When someone mentions him I struggle to recall a face, and when he shows up I think 'now who's this, again?'  Surely the worst thing one could say to an actor.

The Muru calvary at Han prefecture and the Helan clan fight, and they are defeated. At court, the Ministers are really upset and petrified and call on both Muru Shuo and smug faced Qi to explain the loss. Qi claims not to be involved in the defeat while Muru Shuo says he turns over defense of Han prefecture to Prince Han’s personal troops. WHY?! You idiot.
Seriously..........
Maybe he figures better to disassociate himself from a losing proposition. It's not like he wouldn't be able to tell that the Nanku jerks are working against him. Would they dare against the prince?

Action shifts to a dusty terrain in Han prefecture and a group of travelers in a sandstorm One of them-a girl Jin Zhu Hai is saved from near death by a chained mysterious stranger who turns out to be a kohled HeYe! (Welcome back!! OMG HE IS SO SEXY Yes, indeed!) She thanks him for rescuing her and pesters him with questions but gets no answers and one of the team points out it is obvious he has to be a slave because of his chains. Rule of Han prefecture is runaway slaves have to be returned but Jin Ji-her dad lets him go out of gratitude for saving his daughter. They depart but not before she tells HeYe she would make him hers if they saw each other again. Well, that’s one way to shoot your shot Lady.
I know many take objection with He Ye's rather quick way of falling in love with women completely, but I greatly value this about him. A woman says "I will have you!" and he immediately agrees to it. What a dream come true.
Except for the overlap potential.

The travelers make their way to Souda Meng (Slave trader who sold HeYe long ago) and while reminiscing about the good old days, the slave trader makes reference to the fact that Jin Ji was a Muru cavalry who deserted out of love. Awww.
That won't please He Ye though. He doesn't like Murus much, especially not the ones on horseback. Shame, because this dude, he is very likeable and so is his daughter.
I like them a lot. Dad's got a certain appeal, and so far is pretty much the only age appropriate guy in the drama. It can't be puppies ALL the time.

Jin Zhu Hai sights a caged HeYe (like a sexy beast) and begs her dad to buy him but the Slave trader adamantly refuses to sell him despite all entreaties insisting he brings destruction. Zhu Hai tries to free him but is caught. She refuses to give up and holds a knife to and actually cuts her neck to show how determined she is. Her dad sees she is dead serious and eventually agrees to get him.
So melodramatic. I love it.
He's like a tiger in a cage. Not cowed at all. RAWR.

He Ye wakes up naked in her arms and the two share a very fiery night together (Don’t ask me how I know that fact).
He's just pure sex. Maybe I would try to bathe him first but oh yes, I would definitely go for a fiery night with him. He is so refreshingly uncomplicated.
We know it was a fiery night because they made the tent all red-shaded. Plus, look at his eyes. And girlie went all emo-youth to get him so we know she wants it.
