by starrygazer

The melodrama lands full pressure this week in Purple Swan! Our main couple are rising to depend on one another and I believe they will want this bond within the coming weeks. There are stones thrown at our heroine and whereas she’s white-knuckling it to outlive, our hero is making an attempt to assist her whereas staying underneath the radar. How lengthy he can preserve this up is but to be seen.

 
EPISODES 3-4

Wan-soo is getting hit from all angles this week. She goes to fulfill with Tae-ra and means that Tae-ra ought to make herself scarce. Wan-soo tells Tae-ra to take her son and go to Switzerland — principally telling her to not rock the boat and keep out of sight. Tae-ra being the money-grabbing mistress she is, bites again. She throws some nasty jibes about Wan-soo being childless (we study her son died in a snowboarding accident, so that is simply too merciless). Tae-ra calls for Wan-soo break up as she informs Wan-soo that her marriage was a lie from the beginning.

Tae-ra tells Wan-soo that Yong-kook was beforehand engaged. Yong-kook was sleeping with an actress, on the facet, and he or she overdosed while the 2 of them have been collectively in a resort room. Yong-kook’s fiancée on the time came upon and known as off the engagement. With the intention to keep away from a scandal, Chairwoman Park had given Yong-kook a bag of cash to go to Africa and goal Wan-soo. Wan-soo had an awesome picture for them: Rags to riches! Angel of charity! Chairwoman Park is so over-the-top diabolical I can imagine she did this, however I’m nonetheless undecided about Yong-kook. Yong-kook comes throughout as somebody who’s spoiled, however I’m undecided if he’s that crafty. He brazenly admits he doesn’t have to take duty for something – a tragic option to reside should you ask me.

Along with Tae-ra, Chairwoman Park is doing her utmost to hurl stones at our heroine, too. Tae-ra visits Chairwoman Park and complains about Wan-soo wanting her to depart the nation. Chairwoman Park clearly thinks Tae-ra is beneath her (I think she thinks everyone seems to be), however decides to make use of her as a pawn to attempt to preserve Wan-soo in her place. Chairwoman Park has Tae-ra and her son come to the household photoshoot the following day, to knock our heroine off her stride. Wan-soo just isn’t so simply shaken, however when Chairwoman Park strikes all of her deceased son’s issues out of his room and replaces them with Tae-ra’s son’s issues, it hits her onerous.

Chairwoman Park exhibits Wan-soo the paternity take a look at for Tae-ra’s little one and suggestions the press off concerning the loss of life of Wan-soo’s son. Wan-soo had wished to maintain it quiet — it appears she carries quite a lot of guilt for going to work as a substitute of staying with him the day he handed. Wan-soo is getting slightly suffocated with the nasty assaults on her and takes off for the seaside for breather, with Do-yoon in tow.

On the seaside, Do-yoon stays shut however not too shut, giving her room to breathe. When Wan-soo goes again to the automotive, Do-yoon dusts the sand off her ft and punctiliously locations her footwear again on. Do-yoon’s respectful but caring gesture clearly impacts Wan-soo — and me. However Wan-soo attracts a line between them and tells Do-yoon to stay to his bodyguard duties, as a result of she doesn’t belief him but.

Heading residence from the seaside however avoiding the household jail mansion, Do-yoon takes Wan-soo to her trip residence… the place Yong-kook is ready for her. Wan-soo, as fearless as ever – which I really like her for – heads inside and confronts Yong-kook about his motives for approaching her within the first place. Yong-kook tells Wan-soo that these could have been his mom’s motives (Chairwoman Park), however he fell in love at first sight. (Did you although…?) Yong-kook proceeds to say they need to have one other little one and launches himself at Wan-soo. Wan-soo screams as a result of she will be able to’t get him off and Do-yoon swoops in to rescue her. Excuse me whereas I pause and luxuriate in this for a second…

Do-yoon has been making my coronary heart flutter throughout these two episodes! Do-yoon has realized the hyperlink between the CHAIRMAN KIM’S (Jo Received-hee) loss of life, Ju-hyuk’s loss of life, and the tried assassination of Wan-soo. Do-yoon tells Wan-soo that the incidents are all linked, however she could be very untrusting of him. Wan-soo desires Do-yoon to carry her proof and tries to storm off — however Do-yoon’s greatly-timed wrist-grab and request for her to belief him, keep by him and he’ll defend her, made my little coronary heart swoon. (He will get bonus factors from me only for this scene.)

We additionally acquire slightly perception into why Do-yoon and Ju-hyuk have been in Manila. Do-yoon has a flashback to when he was appointed to the president’s element and Ju-hyuk was appointed to the Intelligence Bureau. Do-yoon was advised to report each element of the president’s actions to the commissioner normal of the NIS (Nationwide Intelligence Bureau), and this made him uncomfortable considering one thing was off. Ju-hyuk was advised to research any conglomerates the president met with and look into their slush fund actions. Ju-hyuk was additionally ordered to report all the things again to the commissioner normal and so they have been each advised to maintain it prime secret. That is all very dodgy should you ask me.

Nonetheless in flashback mode, Ju-kyuk tells Do-yoon he’s investigating the loss of life of Chairman Kim. Ju-kyuk had came upon that the Hwa-in Group laundered their cash via the “eight star gang,” who sound like a proper lot of bandits. Ju-hyuk was heading to their headquarters in Manila, and that’s concerning the time he was murdered in entrance of Do-yoon (as we noticed final week). After his loss of life, the investigation had been stopped, however Do-yoon pleaded with the commissioner normal to re-open the investigation, or higher but simply let him examine alone. Nevertheless, the commissioner normal stated there was no proof and gave Do-yoon a agency no. Wow, that’s fishy in itself.

Again to the current, Do-yoon is launched to the opposite safety members who’re sparring. Do-yoon is challenged by one macho dude who is unquestionably larger than Do-yoon. Do-yoon doesn’t even break a sweat! It’s superior! *Seal clapping* Do-yoon beats him palms down and Mr. Macho desires a rematch. Sure please! Do-yoon will get kitted up and within the octagon he takes a couple of blows however he’s faster and extra expert and takes down Mr. Macho for a second time – I’ll simply be over right here with my popcorn getting all bloodthirsty, haha. Do-yoon takes the chance after the combat to ask Mr. Park a couple of rigorously pointed questions on Chairman Kim’s loss of life. Mr. Park nonetheless, just isn’t about to surrender any info, which sends Do-yoon to go and search it out for himself.

In the meantime, the nasty assaults on Wan-soo are nonetheless going full pressure. Chairwoman Park has determined that Mr. Han (her right-hand man), will make Wan-soo’s brother the brand new Director of the NOW Basis and make her resign. Wan-soo’s brother tells Wan-soo what the plan is, so she asks him to leak Yong-kook’s affair and illegitimate little one – hahaha, what a wonderful counter assault. Tae-ra and her mum go scurrying to Wan-soo’s workplace after the cat has been set free of the bag, to beg her to dam the tabloids, however I’m fairly certain she has no intention of doing this. *Snickers behind palms*

Wan-soo is known as to see Chairwoman Park, Yong-kook, and Mr. Han for a disaster assembly following the story being leaked. Mr. Han states that the inventory costs are plummeting and suggests Wan-soo has the perfect picture to clear this up for them. Wan-soo says she is going to, however Chairwoman Park must rethink her dismissal. (Properly performed Wan-soo!) Chairwoman Park retorts by telling Wan-soo to maintain her palms off the inspiration and to remain residence – ouch! Wan-soo is unquestionably not as timid as they suppose she is, and he or she instructs her secretary to name a press convention for the following day.

Chairwoman Park tries to cease Wan-soo from attending the press convention by inviting her to a gathering with a minister. Chairwoman Park is filled with shrill laughter and bum-kissing as Wan-soo makes a chic break for it — with trusty Do-yoon by her facet. Wan-soo makes it to the press convention and surprisingly defends Yong-kook. Together with the press, and Do-yoon, I assumed she was going to announce her divorce! As an alternative, Wan-soo pronounces that the illegitimate little one (Tae-ra’s son) is… the deceased Chairman’s Kim son. Wow, I didn’t see that coming! Tae-ra is hysterical as she shouts, “She simply made me the concubine of a person in his seventies!” *Rolls round on flooring*

After that debacle, Chairwoman Park calls Wan-soo for an viewers — and no, she doesn’t slap her. However Chairwoman Park does name Wan-soo a backside feeder, and calls for she resign instantly. Wan-soo pronounces she desires to make the world a greater place and doesn’t need Chairwoman Park to sully her life’s work with cash. Chairwoman Park has been laundering cash via the inspiration and making an attempt to govern Wan-soo into bribing a Chinese language ambassador. Chairwoman Park is making an attempt to assist her different son KIM YONG-MIN (Go Yoon) and his in-laws’ enterprise break into China.

Wan-soo stands her floor, awe-inspiringly as all the time, telling Chairwoman Park in no unsure phrases that she can’t take the inspiration away from her. Wan-soo provides that Chairwoman Park could possibly manipulate the prosecutors and police, however not the press — she is going to defend the inspiration in any respect prices. Chairwoman Park retorts that she has nobody in charge however herself for what’s about to occur…

Reduce to: Tae-ra and her son transfer into the Hwa-in residence and Chairwoman Park tells Wan-soo as she created this household tree, so she will be able to present them to their room, haha. Wan-soo purposefully calls Tae-in a mistress/concubine to her face, and Tae-ra later has to examine along with her mum that that is an insult haha and he or she just isn’t completely happy. Briefly, Wan-soo firmly places her in her place and it appears the entire workers of the home can be following go well with.

Persevering with the chaos, Wan-soo and Chairwoman Park attend a gap occasion for the inspiration – and sadly they’re each carrying the very same tomato purple outfit! Wan-soo and Chairwoman Park are pressured by reporters to hyperlink arms and put their cheeks collectively. This was absolute gold for me lol. Chairwoman Park cannot conceal the uneasiness on her face and is in a foul temper when she will get residence. She decides to go to the sparring space and follow her judo with the safety workforce, and it’s so unusual to see this gray hair bobbing about throwing all these big guys. Chairwoman Park picks Do-yoon as her subsequent opponent, and all credit score to Do-yoon as he doesn’t let her win — not like the others. Chairwoman Park is surprisingly happy he didn’t, and feedback on understanding all the things about her opponent from their odor. Chairwoman Park begins questioning him about his odor which I simply discovered creepy haha.

In her subsequent transfer, Chairwoman Park requires Wan-soo, and her parting shot this week is to gleefully inform Wan-soo her mum is in a locked ward of a safe psychiatric hospital and doesn’t have a lot time left. Huh? The following day, Do-yoon drives Wan-soo and her brother to the ability and Wan-soo feedback it’s like a jail. Wan-soo’s brother tells her it’s the perfect he may do underneath Chairwoman Park’s orders. Wan-soo goes in to see her mum alone (with Do-yoon close by), and we hear her scream as Do-yoon goes working and the episode cuts. Speak about a cliffhanger!
