EPISODES 5-6
With a hanbok-clad Deok-soo caught out within the open — and witnessed by a peeping Myung-ho, at that — Steward Ji unexpectedly bluffs that Deok-soo is a “present” for the lecherous VIP, ushering her away from scrutiny. Resolving to rescue their buddy, the remainder of our squad stage an intervention, culminating in Eun-ho smashing via the doorways proper as Deok-soo is ordered to disrobe.
Besides all of it seems to be an enormous misunderstanding — the VIP visitor isn’t an outdated geezer, however the younger woman DO-KYUNG (Kwon Eun-bin), whose controlling uncle has forbidden her to cross paths with any males earlier than marriage. She’s nonetheless a chunk of labor although, since she slaps Deok-soo in a huff for “ruining her clothes.” Curiously, Woman Seol speaks as much as shield Deok-soo, intimidating Do-kyung’s attendant into letting the matter go.
After the trespassing trio obtain a stern lecture from Woman Seol, our resident tsundere Eun-ho will get an ice pack for Deok-soo’s smarting cheek. And naturally, Jun-hwa has the very same concept, however finally ends up a step too late as all the time.
Because it seems, Do-kyung is greater than only a spoiled brat — she’s the niece of the calculative minister of warfare, who seeks to make use of her as a pawn in a political marriage to Eun-ho. Stifled by her uncle’s puppeteering, the suffocated Do-kyung winds up taking her frustrations out on the individuals round her, appearing out within the small methods she will afford.
That’s why, when the astute Woman Seol affords to let Do-kyung preside over the ultimate hospitality examination — and be served like a queen — in an try to appease her for the hanbok fiasco, Do-kyung does all the pieces she will to make our apprentices’ lives troublesome. Harm individuals damage individuals, and when Do-kyung releases her pet parrot and calls for that Deok-soo and co. seek for it, it’s clear Do-kyung sees herself within the caged chicken.
Deok-soo realizes as a lot, and decides to modify tack completely. Folding two origami birds for Do-kyung — life is much less lonely with a companion, in any case — Deok-soo suggests a wager on a recreation of cube rolling, and the way in which Do-kyung’s eyes instantly mild up confirms that every one she’s ever wished is a pal.
After all, Deok-soo wins, which implies she will get to sneak Do-kyung out for an evening stroll. Dolling up Soo-ra as a diversion and dressing Do-kyung in apprentice robes, our quartet plans an evening picnic, which Eun-ho and Deok-soo find yourself arriving at first. Whereas making an attempt to catch fireflies to fill a lantern, they by accident seize one another’s arms as an alternative, resulting in a charged second below the romantic moonlight.
Alas, Myung-ho’s witnessed their escapade, and he instantly stories them to Woman Seol. Even then, Deok-soo retains mum about Do-kyung’s loneliness, and in flip, Do-kyung speaks of their protection and passes each trainee teams. Bristling, Myung-ho accuses Deok-soo of being a girl, going so far as to tear her garments — which reveals the gnarly scar from the wound she incurred on the evening of her father’s homicide. It’s irrefutable proof for Woman Seol, who’d acknowledged Deok-soo’s cube methods however closed an eye fixed to it as mere coincidence, and he or she’s deeply rattled by the revelation that Deok-soo is Lord Hong’s lacking daughter.
In any case, the apprentices are dismissed for the evening. Adorably, Eun-ho assumes Deok-soo’s been avoiding public showers all this whereas as a result of she’s embarrassed about her scar, awkwardly proclaiming that it’s nothing to be ashamed of. Aww, his coronary heart’s in the correct place. In the meantime, Jun-hwa thoughtfully reserves a personal bathtub below his title for Deok-soo to make use of — however once more, he misses his timing. Such is the destiny of the second lead.
Bent on acquiring irrefutable proof that Deok-soo’s not the person she pretends to be, Myung-ho and gang peek in on Deok-soo showering, zeroing in on her scarred shoulder — solely to be shocked by chiseled abs. However after the troublemakers scurry off, the person lowers the towel from his face, revealing that it was Soo-ra all alongside.
It seems that after Myung-ho tried to sow seeds of doubt in him, Soo-ra went in the exact opposite route and as an alternative supplied a listening ear to Deok-soo as a fellow breadwinner. She’d lastly confided her secret, and our freshly-showered heroine thanks Soo-ra for being somebody she will belief.
With one minion kicked out as a peeping tom scapegoat, the seven remaining apprentices are all formally appointed. They’re rewarded with a day as a Yongcheonru visitor, and Eun-ho and Deok-soo find yourself sharing a newlywed suite, bickering over a foot bathtub and making use of a clay combination on one another’s faces.
The latter has them each flustered by the proximity, and when Deok-soo has a nightmare of her father’s demise, Eun-ho gruffly affords a peach blossom department to ward off her distressing desires. She’s moved by his kindness, whereas he can’t cease gazing tenderly at her — however in fact, neither of them are anyplace near realizing their emotions simply but.
The following day, the morning of the appointment ceremony dawns. As luck would have it, Lord Cheon had inadvertently revealed the placement of his quarters when he invited Eun-ho over to flaunt the blatant disrespect of its royal motifs in his face. Whereas Lord Cheon presides over the ceremony, Eun-ho’s bodyguard searches his quarters for the brass key — and he finds it. However proper then, Deok-soo is arrested as a homicide suspect, stunning everybody in attendance. It appears Woman Seol lastly tipped the investigation bureau off.
Ooh, why now? And what does Woman Seol plan to do with Deok-soo? Our innkeeper stays largely an enigma, retaining her motivations near her vest in entrance of pals and foes alike. Whereas the minister of warfare questions Eunseong about his dragon-engraved sword — which is barely given to princes — and Lord Cheon needles Eun-ho to inflate his personal ego, Woman Seol is taking part in alongside whereas keenly observing the chess board for the correct alternative.
Maybe Woman Seol’s response following the hanbok incident reveals probably the most about her convictions and motives. When Jun-hwa protested in opposition to Do-kyung’s bodily assault, Woman Seol informed him to grow to be Yongcheonru’s proprietor if he needs to vary its methods — rage is ineffective with out the facility to again it up. It’s apparent Woman Seol has been covertly amassing such energy all this whereas, however to what finish? And what lengths has she gone to within the title of her purpose?
On a aspect be aware, Eun-ho’s obliviousness cracks me up, with how he’s quick-witted in actually each different facet however hopelessly dense in relation to Deok-soo. Jun-hwa’s frightened fretting and anxious jealousy make it even funnier, as a result of Eun-ho’s not even consciously attempting to make strikes on Deok-soo, he simply has the Dramaland Male Lead buff. Although Jun-hwa’s proper on one depend — Eun-ho’s falling onerous for our heroine, even when he doesn’t notice it but.
