Doo-hak then convinces his new criminal buddies to target the aunt and uncle and get them “to buy” a building from them (which the fraudsters don’t actually own). He sees Jung-shin from afar, handing over her theater to her aunt and uncle because she can’t pay her debts. Now that everyone is on the outside, they’re forming alliances to carry out their next crimes.ĭoo-hak first gets involved with a group that commits real estate fraud. If you’re wondering (as I was) how Doo-hak was able to fend off all those students, we later see that in prison he was taking down groups of goons left and right, which earned him both enemies and allies. Doo-hak points out that Cheol-woong will now be unusable to the government as an informant because he’s been kicked out of his group. But the bond between them has changed because Cheol-woong doesn’t have the upper hand anymore. When the two old friends are outside, it’s just like when they were young and Doo-hak used to protect Cheol-woong from bullies. The look on Doo-hak’s face says that he gets exactly what’s going on, and he pushes Cheol-woong to leave. Cheol-woong screams that if he were really working with the government, none of them would be standing there right now. Doo-hak then fights off about fifty students, making his way upstairs to Cheol-woong.Īs they’re leaving, the protest leader - the one Cheol-woong never turned in - tells Cheol-woong not to be shameful. Doo-hak goes to campus and is met with aggression as the activists try to hide Cheol-woong from him. Lucky for Cheol-woong, Doo-hak has spent the night at his house and realized he never came home. They hold him on campus and try to get him to confess that he’s collaborating with the other side, but Cheol-woong claims he’s innocent. The fact that Cheol-woong is not jailed is a red flag to his fellow activists. Cheol-woong injures his ankle and is caught, but then he’s let go. One night, Man-ok and some officers break up a meeting on campus and arrest many of the students. Still, Cheol-woong never gives up the names of the leaders. When he’s released, they ask him to collect information about the protest leadership.Īfter this, Cheol-woong is continually under Man-ok’s thumb, getting beaten and threatened with death if he doesn’t carry out his duties. Cheol-woong says no, and is tortured until he agrees. Man-ok tells Cheol-woong that they’ll discharge him immediately if he agrees to be a spy. There, Cheol-woong meets Choong-sung’s right-hand man, OH MAN-OK ( Jin Yi-han). Choong-sung was behind the coercion, using his military background and current high-ranking position to send Cheol-woong to the army. We learn this week that while Cheol-woong was protesting, he was once arrested and coerced into becoming an informant for the government. When we ended last week, we saw that Cheol-woong had become involved in the student protests and Doo-hak had reappeared, asking Cheol-woong to pay off his debt by becoming a prosecutor. As Cheol-woong tells his mother, he and Doo-hak are “inextricably connected” - whether they like it or not. The heart of the story, though, is how these threads intersect and keep our main characters in each other’s lives.įor me, the weight of these episodes comes from the bond between Doo-hak and Cheol-woong. We’re following three separate threads now as our leads take on their own unique challenges following the time jump last week. Plus: more high drama on the family front. As we move from the countryside to the city - and from economic strife to personal struggles - our story weaves a world where friends and adversaries are one and the same. These are some action-packed episodes - from student protests to gang fights - giving our heroes a chance to show their stuff. 18 MaMaOasis: Episodes 3-4 by Dramaddictally
