The Landlady’s shocking discovery

The drama comes from an unexpected source: not the Lees or the Kangs, but the Landlady. She finds out that her only son (and his family) have been living a lie in the Gangnam district of Seoul, instead of America! 

I was shocked because I thought Hyo-joon and Hyo-do were the most ungrateful sons in this drama. How can he deceive his mother for 20 long years!? She has been sending him money every month and studying English so she could visit her grandchildren in the States. 

The Landlady is heartbroken and spends the rest of the week in the worst state we have ever seen her. For once, Hyo-shim’s mom does the right thing and vents her anger, insults, and slaps at the Landlady’s disloyal son.

The truth about Yeom and Sook-hyang

Meanwhile, our regulars on the show have some developments of their own. Mr. Yeom’s old phone is found in his office, and Tae-min listens to a call recording between Yeom and Sook-hyang that proves they killed his parents. 

Tae-min, who has always been the one to restrain Tae-ho from seeking revenge, loses his cool and beats up Yeom. I don’t condone violence, but in this case, it's justified. Tae-min tells Sook-hyang that she is no longer his mother, and to make matters worse, Director Park comes back from the U.S. with evidence of her crimes at Taesan Group. 

Sook-hyang is finally arrested along with Chairman Kang and Mr. Yeom — but not before she puts on her PPL makeup and accuses Halmeoni of being the real villain of the show. I have to admit, Sook-hyang’s “You’re the original Jang Sook-hyang” remark to Halmeoni was a burn!
