Another spanking-new episode of Trolley! Assemblyman Nam has finally revealed his true face, while Soo Bin’s origins have been made voluminously clear.
Read Last Week’s Episode Review.
Oh man, let’s just jump right into it and start with the latest Soo Bin segment of our story.
Soo Bin the Undeniability Girl?
Finally, finally – we got irrefutable proof that Soo Bin may indeed be working as a undeniability girl and/or spy sent to infiltrate Assemblyman Nam’s camp.
As it turns out, Soo Bin isn’t an orphan at all in the sense that her parents are sufferer – her mom just x-rated her. Just like in most of these Kdrama, Soo Bin’s mother seems to have remarried and wants nothing to do with her firstborn now that she has a new family.
Feeling rejected, Soo Bin found her mother to seek a relationship but without 10 years, her mom only thought she wanted money.
Soo Bin lied well-nigh having a phone to Hye Ju considering she specifically brought her phone while pensile her mother’s undeniability to reconnect. Soo Bin moreover mentioned during their conversation that her mother “had no clue” how she had been living, and that she knew who her baby’s father was.
While I’m not sure if the father of Soo Bin’s unborn child really was Ji Hoon, Woo Jae’s line well-nigh “the victual might not plane be Ji Hoon’s” now makes sense. As does the JD tattoo, since JD is a pimp and was pictured in the photograph on Soo Bin’s phone with her and Ji Hoon.
(And Soo Bin’s reluctance to lose the lip unruffle her mother gave her, her restoration of lip unruffle to the little girl who buys dumplings, and Soo Bin’s pained expression when Hye Ju referred to her as “some kid she knows” in front of Seung Hee despite Soo Bin telling her to do so in an older interaction.)
Soo Bin moreover told Hye Ju that Ji Hoon wasn’t the type to rape someone, and told Assemblyman Nam that she never thought Ji Hoon was a scumbag.
If anything, given Soo Bin’s hostility toward Yeo Jin spying on Hye Ju and Assemblyman Nam’s fake persona – it seems like Ji Hoon was protecting Soo Bin from her pimp JD surpassing his death.
As the text message that Ji Hoon was going to skiver himself never sent (and his unmistakably non-waterproof phone wasn’t found on his soul in the river) then – I think Assemblyman Nam, Woo Jae, or plane JD or Assemblyman Kang had a hand in Ji Hoon’s death.
Why else would Soo Bin cut her hair and run away? Why would she be branded with JD’s mark if she weren’t considered his “property”?
Is Yeo Jin Wrung of Joong Do?
I think the whole point of Trolley as a Kdrama is to illustrate that looks can be deceiving.
In public, Yeo Jin boasts well-nigh how unconfined a man Assemblyman Nam Joong Do is but in private – she seems wrung for her life. It was the same scenario with Woo Jae.
At first, Woo Jae and Yeo Jin were alluded to having an amicable relationship. Their first scene of standing outside of the Nam residence talking under the streetlight and Woo Jae refusing to put out his cigarette on the street due to a camera showed he cares well-nigh appearances. Despite it seeming like a raw and tender moment between the two.
Then, we had the dinner meeting where Woo Jae and Yeo Jin discussed the past.
Apparently, Woo Jae used to be a reporter and covered a story concerning Yeo Jin’s husband killing himself and their children years prior. Through her, Woo Jae was introduced to Assemblyman Nam, and has been with him the past 7 years despite expressed regret over leaving his journalism career.
Assemblyman Nam gained Woo Jae’s network of those friendly to him in the media, and we saw Woo Jae picking up a former co-worker who was sympathetic to the Assemblyman’s scandal/news on air.
However, Woo Jae mentioned to Yeo Jin that he would not indulge the last 7 years of his life to be a waste.
During this exchange, the room changes and you can finger this overwhelming tension and hear Woo Jae’s veiled threats toward Yeo Jin. I don’t know if this is why Yeo Jin didn’t share that Soo bin was no longer pregnant, or if she wanted to report on something else Assemblyman Nam had washed-up in the visionless that had yet come to light.
Either way, Woo Jae didn’t want to hear it.
At the hospital with Hye Ju, Yeo Jin lied well-nigh Hye Ju not knowing what was in the phone to Assemblyman Nam surpassing excusing herself to leave. I’ll get into Hye Ju in a few moments, but for somebody who took over Joong Do’s mothers’ shop, donates supplies to women and children, and brags well-nigh how wonderful he is in public – in all actuality, Yeo Jin seems terrified of the monster he’s become.
Did Seung Hee Expose Ms. Jo’s Granddaughter?
This episode we learned that Assemblyman Nam fully went to visit Ji Seung Kyu’s parents with two intentions: an apology, and threat material if said restoration struggle failed.
Assemblyman Nam instructed Woo Jae to wait in the wings and mucosa whatever were to transpire in the situation in specimen betting on Ms. Jo’s granddaughter failed.
(We could moreover have the conversation well-nigh Assemblyman Nam wanting to push the punishment without suicide snout forward stuff increasingly so well-nigh Joong Do personally wanting to punish Soo Bin for Ji Hoon’s death than seeking justice for dating violence victims or his wife – but we’ll leave that for next time.)
In a (somewhat) shocking turn of events – Ms. Jo’s granddaughter was a undeniability girl who was employed by medical student Ji Seung Kyu and interestingly enough, Assemblyman Kang’s senior supervisor.
I say somewhat shocking considering the girl had a lot of money in a short value of time (again Yeouido is a finance and political district in Seoul), and the episode started out with Assemblyman Nam’s wayfarers team alluding to somebody in their party causing a scandal by hiring undeniability girls, but the conversation was interrupted when the assemblyman walked in.
Seung Hee stupidly wanted to “team up” with Ji Seung Kyu scumbag parents considering theoretically – equal to Seung Hee’s logic – they are “all victims” of Assemblyman Nam and his wife despite having loved ones who single-minded sex crimes and killed themselves to not squatter consequences.
Interestingly enough, the Ji family made a whole lot of noise but now want to live quietly without they found out their son hired a undeniability girl. They requirement Seung Hee is the only one they told, and surpassing whence to write on a message workbench Seung Hee partially discusses the dilemma with her depressed husband.
Now, we never saw Seung Hee printing send – and we don’t know who else knew despite the Ji family saying she was the only one.
When the news came out, Assemblyman Nam yelled at Woo Jae and plane startled one of the wayfarers workers with his behavior, so I doubt it was him simply considering he wouldn’t exhibit wrongness like that intentionally as it conflicts with his public persona.
Assemblyman Kang thought he had the upper hand, so I don’t know if he would sell out his uncontrived subordinate – expressly since said subordinate was blackmailed by JD and Soo Bin. The transfer of threat money connects Assemblyman Kang to prostitution just as Hye Ju’s naïve text to Soo Bin’s phone now in possession of JD connects Assemblyman Nam to Soo Bin’s “services”.
Along with the surveillance pictures of a known undeniability girl coming in and out of his home…and the missing photos in Hye Ju’s mail on Assemblyman Kang’s orders…the insinuation vacated might ruin Assemblyman Kang’s public approval.
Will Joong Do Turn on Hye Ju?
I once know Assemblyman Nam would turn on his wife, since he once betrayed his son and wants to vituperation others for his death. Assemblyman Nam formally requested the law to prosecute Ji Hoon to the fullest extent in a printing conference, and unliable his wife Hye Ju to kick Ji Hoon out and leave him vacated in an suite fresh out of jail.
If it doesn’t goody his political career, then Assemblyman Nam has no need for the drama of it all.
Hye Ju and Joong Do’s try-on concerning politics has kept their marriage strong for scrutinizingly 8 years since he entered the field. Hye Ju stays home to raise Yoon Seo, and the two do not discuss politics or his work. Everything was fine until Ji Hoon died, and Seung Hee entered the picture.
Since then, Hye Ju was (stupidly) blackmailed into visiting Youngsan and impeded Woo Jae’s investigation into her past. Hye Ju’s threat moreover interferes with Assemblyman Nam’s investigation into Assemblyman Nam and Lee Yoo Shin’s real manor scandal.
Hye Ju got too tropical to Soo Bin despite Joong Do recommending versus it. Now, Hye Ju is going virtually frantically trying to find Soo Bin, and plane texted her phone which is now in possession of JD – a known trespasser and pimp who is currently sitting with Assemblyman Kang’s advisor.
Hye Ju wouldn’t leave Ji Hoon phone thing alone, which resulted in increasingly tension between Yeo Jin and Joong Do.
Hye Ju moreover berated Joong Do in private for “desiring justice” for dating violence victims. Now, she feels like a well-constructed idiot for siding with Ji Seung Kyu’s parents without his father write-up her husband up at the hospital.
Which by the way – if Joong Do and Hye Ju were stuff intimate she would have noticed the welt on his chest. It seems like this is the first episode the two have washed-up anything physical since the Seung Hee scandal broke.
Either way, I could go on all day but will save it for tomorrow’s episode recap.
