Ron Does Stuff

Three more episodes until the season finale! I gotta say, this series has been a fun watch from episode one to episode six and if the story isn’t fully resolved by the final episode, I am really looking forward to another season!

At the end of the last episode, all bets are off as Ga Min has now directly attacked Han Wul. What’s going to happen now? This new episode starts off by showing us what was happening inside that gymnasium before Ga Min punched Han Wul, and ironically what was happening was a school assembly about school violence. Because of the report Han Kyeong sent, the Department of Education is now sending a group to monitor the school and the vice-principal is spinning this as Han Kyeong wishing for the school to close and leaving the students with no other option in their lives.

Here;s where we find out about Oh Jung Hwa, who used to teach in Yusung Technical and was stabbed to death. The news report in the background makes it sound like a random stabbing but if you’ve been watching the past episodes, it’s probably due to Han Wul machinations. THEN we get to the part where Ga Min punches Han Wul, who retaliates with a kick to Ga Min’s face. Is this going to be a fight? A real fight?

Of course, everyone in school is talking about how Ga Min landed a punch on Han Wul. On the roof, Han Wul’s bodyguards are fighting amongst themselves after themselves, with one of the bodyguards studying the index cards that Ga Min had left behind.

As for Han Wul, he’s back in his lair with No Reason, We get a little confirmation that Han Wul was behind the stabbing and now he’s planning another thing for Han Kyeong that involves Sun Chul, the blond bodyguard who was studying the index cards.

We also find out why Sun Chul is with Han Wul in the first place. His grandfather is sick and the work he does for Han Wul helps him pay for the hospital bills. And those index cards weren’t Ga Mins but Sun Chul’s grandfather’s, who studying for the TOEIC. It’s at the hospital that Ga Min runs into Sun Chul, who now understands why Ga Min went after Han Wul in the first place. They’re slowly building rapport as Ga Min tries to persuade him to study, but their conversation is cut short by the gang trainers arriving to bring Sun Chul to multiple jobs he need to do for the gangs.

With Sun Chul indisposed, it’s Ga Min who ends up taking care of the sick grandpa, who’s slowly getting better and better at the TOEIC. The grandfather also gives Ga Min an insight into learning — it’s gotta be fun if you want to be good at it.

The next day, we find out that the job Sun Chul was asked to do was to stab a man to death. Since Ga Min was the last person to talk to him, it’s he who the police approach while the crime is being investigated. Ga Min, ever the idealist, doesn’t want to believe that it’s Sun Chul who killed the guy.

And he may just be right, because the next day Se Hyun and Hee-won may have just figured out how Han Wul is proving his worth to his father’s gang. By having adoloscents — or making it look like adolescents — are committing the adult crimes happening in the neighborhood, the real culprits get to go free and since the suspects in custody are minors, they get lighter sentences than expected. It would be ingenious if it wasn’t already being done in countries like the one I live in.

Later that day, Ga Min runs into one of Sun Chul’s friends, who is begging him to help out Sun Chul. He’s the one who confirms the scheme and thanks to Sun Chul’s studious eyes, Ga Min manages to convince the rest of the group to help him out — by finding the murder weapon that the real killer is still keeping in his office. Heist episode!

The group’s muscles — Ga Min, Ji Woo, and Lee Jun — pass themselves off as reserve gang members and manage to get past the gate, at least. Of course, things go awry, with Ga Min getting trapped on the rooftop because of a misunderstanding Lee Jun having to fight one of the guys they were pretending to be, leaving Ji Woo alone to find the knife and fight one of the gang members. Worse of all, Sun Chul admits to killing the man to the detective who has arrived at the premises.
