Purple Swan: Episodes 5-6

by starrygazer

This week’s episodes went off with a bang. Fairly actually! Our lead couple are undoubtedly leaning on one another extra… and turning into dangerously shut, in additional methods than one. It’s additionally turning into just a little clearer who shall be buddy or foe when issues lastly come to a head. In the meantime, I’m simply right here for the drama and common over-the-topness that’s making this a very satisfying watch.

 
EPISODES 5-6

Final week our present ended on a cliffhanger, with Wan-soo screaming when she goes into her mum’s cell, and Do-yoon operating in to see what had occurred. Wan-soo has a whole lot of resentment in the direction of Mum, so she is shocked when her mum genuinely apologizes to her. It’s troublesome for Wan-soo to see her on this scenario and I feel this surprises her. Wan-soo’s mum all of a sudden passes away, and that cliffhanger scream was from a really distressed Wan-soo.

Again within the lair of the Grand Palace, Wan-soo is summoned by Chairwoman Park. Chairwoman Park says she’s sorry about Wan-soo’s mum’s passing. Nevertheless, Chairwoman Park follows this by demanding Wan-soo not attend her mom’s funeral. As a substitute Wan-soo is ordered to go along with her to a gathering to “grease the wheels” with the Chinese language ambassador for Chairwoman Park’s deal to undergo. Wan-soo is so heartbroken she politely declines, telling Chairwoman Park she must say goodbye correctly. Chairwoman Park is a nasty piece of labor, which we already know, and goes on to threaten Wan-soo. Chairwoman Park suggests she might lock up Wan-soo and nobody would ever know, or certainly Wan-soo’s brother… Yikes! That’s chilly.

Wan-soo is aware of she has to play this little recreation and dutifully goes to the assembly, lacking her mom’s funeral. In a uncommon second of vulnerability, when she returns, Wan-soo decides to take her mom’s ashes and ask Do-yoon if he can take her someplace. Do-yoon readily takes her, and so they go radio silent – turning off their telephones and the automobile’s GPS tracker. This throws the safety workforce into disarray and Yong-kook goes berserk as a result of they will’t find Wan-soo.

In a touching scene, our lead couple have gone again to Wan-soo’s childhood residence and she or he says her goodbye to her mum. Wan-soo additionally explains to Do-yoon that her son died — she simply doesn’t wish to acknowledge it, which is why Wan-soo tells individuals her son is in Switzerland. Do-yoon has this very calm and in management demeanor as a bodyguard, however he decides to consolation Wan-soo, which she permits. As soon as our lead couple are in one another’s arms, Do-yoon encourages Wan-soo to cry, saying it’s going to make her coronary heart ache much less. This scene actually hit me within the feels; our couple has nice chemistry. This touching second is marred barely, nevertheless, by some hidden determine taking sneaky pictures of them.

Circling again to the Grand Palace, upon their return Wan-soo and Do-yoon are met with a really upset Yong-kook. Yong-kook proceeds to insult Do-yoon by asking the place he was with his spouse after which punching Do-yoon. (The wealthy individuals on this present are fairly scary.) Chairwoman Park is wanting on the secret pictures taken of Wan-soo and Do-yoon earlier – I’m not shocked it was her who gave the order in any respect. Chairwoman Park orders Mr. Park to do no matter Wan-soo tells him to as regards to Do-yoon’s employment, as Chairwoman Park is satisfied Wan-soo will defend him, although Yoon-kook demanded Do-yoon’s dismissal.

In an hilarious flip of occasions, Yong-kook enters and is slapped fairly a number of instances by Chairwoman Park — not laborious sufficient when you ask me. Chairwoman Park bellows at him for insinuating Wan-soo was having an affair when she is grieving, simply because that’s what Yong-kook does doesn’t imply that’s the best way Wan-soo behaves too. Now that did shock me. Chairwoman Park explains to him that Wan-soo is holding the muse hostage because it hides all of their “soiled laundry” (i.e., slush funds). If Wan-soo divorces him and exposes all the things, Yong-kook will lose his inheritance and his administration rights. Chairwoman Park is sort of chilling when she tells him the one solution to get Wan-soo out of the household is thru dying. At first Chairwoman Park didn’t need Wan-soo and Yong-kook to get divorced, then she did, and now she desires to kill Wan-soo. Make your thoughts up, lady!

In the meantime, Wan-soo turns up at Do-yoon’s room and so they have a really charged alternate. Do-yoon asks her to be “his lady” (oh my!), and to cease placing herself in peril. Wan-soo’s response to that is to ask Do-yoon to be “her man” as a substitute as a result of she wants him. He desires to know why she wants him, however Wan-soo says she’ll clarify later, and she or he wants to totally belief him first. Do-yoon desires to know why she is doing this: is it for cash, fame, or self-importance? Wan-soo sincerely says she desires to assist kids in poverty as a result of they remind her of herself — she couldn’t care much less about the rest. Our heroine actually is admirable making an attempt to carry on to such pure intentions whereas residing on this pit of vipers.

In a stroke of unhealthy timing, Mr. Park knocks on the door and Do-yoon’s preliminary response is to cover Wan-soo, so he’s shocked when she invitations Mr. Park in. That is undoubtedly a better solution to play this example — in any case they weren’t doing something improper. Mr. Park asks why Wan-soo is there and she or he tells him she acquired one other risk from ISIS. She explains she will’t belief new faces, so he isn’t to swap Do-yoon for different safety personnel. (Nicely performed Wan-soo!)

After excusing herself, Wan-soo hears Mr. Park begin yelling at Do-yoon for not telling him (no less than) the place they had been going. Do-yoon is outraged, telling Mr. Park he’s a human being earlier than a bodyguard, and Wan-soo was wanted to have the ability to grieve. Do-yoon is livid now, asking if this corrupt household has corrupted Mr. Park too? Mr. Park appears taken again by this and thaws his anger, asking Do-yoon if he’s okay and suggests he stays out of Yong-kook’s sight for some time. The extra I see of Mr. Park, the extra I get the sensation he’s extra of a involved father determine, not a nasty man. Mr. Park retains warning Do-yoon to return to the police and stop this job and it feels extra protecting than posturing.

In an effort to shake issues up, Do-yoon heads out to the native playing den run by the Eight Star Gang. Do-yoon offers the excuse of assembly the boss and says he’s from Hwa-in, however makes his face identified to the safety digicam within the hopes of getting an increase out of Mr. Park. As anticipated, Mr. Park later calls Do-yoon to his workplace and asks him what he was doing going to the playing den. Do-yoon is as sincere as ever, asking Mr. Park if he ordered Ju-hyuk’s dying. Do-yoon tells him he noticed him in Manila on the gang’s headquarters with a bag full of money.

Do-yoon proceeds to ask Mr. Park about Chairman Kim’s dying, as that’s what Ju-hyuk was investigating earlier than he died. Mr. Park is affronted that Do-yoon thinks he had something to do with Ju-hyuk’s dying, explaining he was operating cash laundering errands for Yong-kook and that Chairman Kim died throughout “intercourse” so Mr. Park helped cowl it up. (Speak about a bomb shell!) Do-yoon asks how Mr. Park is aware of that’s what the bag of cash was for… which is an excellent level. Mr. Park appears like this thought by no means even entered his head, and I’ve a suspicion he shall be devastated if he was unintentionally instrumental in Ju-hyuk’s dying.

Additionally stirring issues up, Wan-soo decides to shoot a make-up business to tank Chairwoman Park’s enterprise deal, which fits down like a lead balloon! Yong-min (Yong-kook’s brother) and his venomous spouse are on the Grand Palace to complain in regards to the advert — and the sister-in-law is Yong-kook’s ex-fiancée by the best way! Gasps! This complete alternate is absolutely fascinating since you see Yong-kook defend Wan-soo, and I imagine he does have some degree of affection for her. Within the subsequent unusual flip of occasions, Chairwoman Park acts as mediator between Wan-soo and Yong-min + spouse, and these are sides we haven’t actually seen from both character earlier than.

This week we get some perception on Mr. Han, too, who appears to be the “fixer” for the household… and Chairwoman Park’s longtime bit on the facet. Yikes. He has completely different loyalities, and is pushing for Yong-min to take over the NOW Basis. Yong-min doesn’t wish to spend his life laundering cash for his brother to inherit all the things – just a little little bit of the green-eyed monster showing right here.

When Mr. Han informs Chairwoman Park that Yong-kook is laundering cash by some harmful individuals to make his personal slush funds, she doesn’t appear bothered by this in any respect. Chairwoman Park’s priorities are in all places. Her character boils all the way down to selfishness and greed however I doubt she’s truly good sufficient to implement a number of the scheming that is occurring.

After prodding a number of bears, Wan-soo is being pushed by her safety element when drones begin attacking her automobile. Fortunately, Do-yoon is driving and manages to masterfully dodge fairly a number of of them. Sadly, while distracted by a drone above them, a second drone goes beneath the automobile and blows it up. Their automobile rolls and lands on its head. Do-yoon will get out and frantically pulls Wan-soo from the wreckage. Minimize to: Do-yoon carrying her off in his arms when the automobile explodes, firing shrapnel into Do-yoon’s again (The K2, is that you just?).

On the hospital, Do-yoon has surgical procedure and survives — how? — I don’t know! Wan-soo wakes up and makes the error of asking Yong-kook how he is (that means Do-yoon). Wan-soo rapidly deflects and Yong-kook leaves and appears in on Do-yoon filled with jealousy. LOL.

Do-yoon appears to be in luck right here as the one who orchestrated the assault — the feminine safety guard that he works with, LEE JIN (Jung Joo-yeon) — is creeping up on him prepared to complete the job. Jin is stopped by Yong-kook’s arrival and she or he then notices the CCTV digicam in Do-yoon’s room. She goes out to name whoever gave her the orders, saying the mission failed. (Do you’ve got your suspicions on who that is? As a result of I definitely do!) Wan-soo goes to see Do-yoon earlier than she leaves the hospital and so they have one other touching second the place they maintain one another and she or he declares that she trusts him utterly. (Rightfully so.)

Do-yoon is quickly discharged from hospital, and this man should have superhuman therapeutic, as a result of there have been some big items of steel protruding from his again and he’s strolling round prefer it was nothing. Anyway, he returns to the Grand Palace and Mr. Park goes to test on him. Do-yoon is begging Mr. Park to assist him with the case and Mr. Park tells him to go away and return to the police — he doesn’t wish to lose Do-yoon too, bless him. Mr. Park does inform Do-yoon he has made one other drop on the playing den. It appears Mr. Park is now questioning precisely what it’s he’s being requested to do.

Nonetheless making an attempt to get some leverage over the scenario, Wan-soo asks Do-yoon to enter Mr. Han’s quarters and retrieve the ledgers for the NOW Basis, containing the proof of the slush funds. Wan-soo had requested her brother, however he didn’t wish to become involved, telling her if something will get uncovered each of them will find yourself in jail as patsies.

Do-yoon has to leap by a number of hoops to get the ledgers, however he does, and instantly takes them to Wan-soo’s workplace. Simply then, the prosecutors barge in with their huge blue bins, a search and seizure warrant, and a warrant for her brother’s arrest for embezzlement. Mr. Han, you sly outdated fox, his plan should have all the time been to arrange Wan-soo’s brother if the ledgers ever received taken. Can’t wait to see the shockers coming our manner subsequent week.
