Episode 17 begins with a flash of lightning and a clap of thunder. Perhaps an ominous portent of what is to come for our dearest Sa Do Chan, Oh Ha Ra, and Baek Joon Soo?

Baek Joon Soo suddenly seems teamed up with Grizzly (Geum Tae Woong) and he even tells him where to send his henchmen to capture Sa Do Chan and his gang. Ever masters of disguise however, his gang hops a luggage cart and gets out of their posh hideout just in time.

Sa Do Chan having ruined Baek Joon Soo’s reputation… contacts Oh Ha Ra who has come looking for him. And he tells her that Baek Joon Soo has sold his soul to a Demon (Geum Tae Woong).

When Joon Soo runs into Oh Ha Ra on the steps of the prosecutor’s office the next morning, she accuses him of just that. He makes it clear he’s hunting Sa Do Chan. And it’s now clear that Baek Joon Soo and Oh Ha Ra are now on opposite sides.

Later we see Baek Joon Soo step into a janitorial closet clasping his chest in pain… and quickly take some medicine. What is all this costing him, physically and emotionally?

In contrast episode 18 begins with a mere walk in the park. Sa Do Chan impersonates Baek Joon Soo, for a few moments… then laughs when she says Do Chan has done so much for them, and Do Chan reveals that it’s really him. She asks him to investigate Feel gallery.

Sa Do Chan sets up a con for the gallery that involves a bit of a tempest in a teacup. Or in this case… a priceless Fabrege egg that is the Feel gallery’s prize exhibit.

When the rain begins the tension in the story starts to climax. And the egg opens to reveal a personal message for Grizzly (Geum Tae Woong).

The relationship between the Feel gallery, the bank and political figures starts to unravel. And some people start to notice the differences in behavior between Sa Do Chan and Baek Joon Soo.

Baek Joon Soo had asked Geum Tae Woong for 2 things, to clear his name and to guarantee Oh Ha Ra’s safety. But, will he keep his word?

They leave us with a cliffhanger, Grizzly, Baek Joon Soo and Oh Ha Ra in a bit of a stand off. The question is, is Sa Do Chan riding to the rescue or into a trap? [END]
