Seeds of rivalry are being sown amidst the youngest chaebol generation now that Tae-ho is back and getting settled in the family company. The limits of cousinly affection are tested when Tae-ho starts bringing fresh ideas and impressing people at work, not to mention stealing Tae-min’s favorite trainer. I’m not too clear on why Tae-min takes sharing a trainer as such a devastating blow since it is possible – dare I say even expected – for Hyo-shim to take on multiple clients. Nevertheless, Tae-min gets all angsty that the woman he most definitely likes is training with his cousin-turned-possible-nemesis who, unbeknownst to him, doesn’t even like training with Hyo-shim. Tae-ho is still being weirdly sexist and acting like a child, ignoring Hyo-shim’s qualified exercise advice in favor of poor workouts. But Tae-ho isn’t the only one disrespecting Hyo-shim as a professional. Middle brother HYO-JOON (Seol Jung-hwan) derides her for being a “mere fitness instructor,” as if he’s not studying for whatever fancy job he thinks he’s going to have entirely on her dime.
Meanwhile, slap-happy villain Sook-hyang tracks escapee halmeoni, but it’s not so easy to find her now that she’s hiding amongst the peasants. Hyo-do may be a terrible businessman, but he just might have a career as a caretaker of lost chaebols. First, he treated Sook-hyang’s runaway daughter KANG TAE-HEE (Kim Bi-joo) to multiple meals, and he’s now nursing halmeoni back to health after hitting her with his swanky new car. We’ll have to wait and see if halmeoni thinks as quickly as she heals because it’s only a matter of time before her twisted daughter-in-law makes her next move.
