Romance Town Episode 8

Soon Geum chases after Gun Woo and apologizes: she didn’t really mean to deceive him in the beginning. “I’m sorry! I was wrong!” she yells across the street at Gun Woo. And… 3…2…1… he comes running after her! Soon Geum: “Ahhh – mom!!!! Wait! I’m sorry!” He chases her back to the restaurant, where Da Kyum and Young Hee are munching happily. They run around in circles. You like making a fool out of people? Did you enjoy playing around with me?” Soon Geum: “It’s not like that at all!” Da Kyum gives up and orders Young Hee to do something about these two kids, but he shrugs his shoulders helplessly. Soon Geum says she was happy being with him, and takes the opportunity to dash out of there. Young Hee holds Gun Woo back, but he just stuffs six pieces of meat in his mouth, and out the door he goes! Gun Woo tells her to stop liking him, but Soon Geum can’t help who she likes, just like how others can’t control their own hearts. So Gun Woo tells her to just control her mouth and stop spouting nonsense. He doesn’t want to be confused by her anymore, especially since he can’t decide if he’s just a fool or if he’s naive. The truck leader can bring in their knives in a bit. The next truck over, Hyun Joo sees the two of them walking together as she waits for her knives, which completely raises her suspicions. As they close up shop, the truck leader asks his lackey if the lottery ticket really has not been claimed yet. Since it hasn’t, it means it’s still in the house. As he goes to drop off the knives at the Kang Residence, he takes out a taser and breaks the keypad lock. He then attaches a sticker with a number for a repairman. Back in one of the maids’ rooms, Hyun Joo mulls over all the moments she’s seen Hwang Yong with Yoon Joo. Finally she can’t help it anymore and confides in Soo Jung – should they set up a trap for Hwang Yong and Yoon Joo, as a form of revenge? Soon Geum and Gun Woo arrive home, but the door lock is broken. Truck Leader and Lackey are watching behind some bushes; they’ll have to break in tomorrow, when the entire family will be out for a party and Soon Geum will be home alone. The next day, Lackey appears to replace the keypad lock, supervised by Yoon Joo. Yoon Joo gets a call. It’s San’s biological mother. She wants to meet at the coffee shop of the hotel where the party is to be held. Soon Geum gets a visitor a bespectacled Young Hee. He wants to know what’s wrong between her and Gun Woo, but she says it’s nothing. Young Hee removes his glasses (whew – much better!) and proposes that they date. Soon Geum laughs – so not the reaction he was expecting. He practiced so much to get the courage to say it! But Soon Geum says an owner would never ask a maid out on a date. Despite Young Hee’s persistence, she just keeps laughing, and thanks him for cheering her up a bit. Yoon Joo heads to the coffee shop to wait for San’s mother. A few tables away, Soo Jung and Hyun Joo are watching surreptitiously. Hyun Joo had faked the phone call and posed as San’s mother. They watch Yoon Joo sit for an hour, waiting for the mother that would never show up. Hyun Joo predicts that Yoon Joo is the type to find another man when she’s pissed with her current one. They watch her as she makes a phone call… to Hwang Yong. She tells the waitress to give her a call at room 548 if “San’s Mother” arrives, and then leaves the cafe. Truck Leader and Lackey return later in the afternoon posing as food delivery men on motor scooters. The dog, Mong Ryong, barks like crazy, but they throw him a treat to shut him up. Using their master key card, they enter the house and split up in search of the lottery money. Lackey enters Soon Geum’s room and goes through her closets. There’s nothing, but he smells money.
He opens her boxes and finds her stash of 10 billion Won. Soon Geum is not at the Kang Residence now, as she had dropped off San with Zar Lin to watch over him while she cleans the house. However, Gun Woo arrives home. Truck Leader rifles through Tae Won’s office in the end, and discovers the lottery ticket in his locked drawer. Lackey enters – they rejoice! And then Truck Leader notices the phone number in the back. They can’t steal the ticket now, because the rightful owners can prove their ownership of the ticket through that phone number. Lackey doesn’t see a problem; they’re thieves! Truck Leader doesn’t want to take it; Lackey says they might as well, having gone this far.
Doorbell rings.
Outside, Gun Woo notices the scooters, which are weird to him, but then he spots Soon Geum across the lawn – which is even more important. She opens the door for the two of them, and he orders her to make food for him. The thieves are stuck in the kitchen, and they hide as Soon Geum enters her room. But she notices the money is gone, and she catches the thieves trying to escape. They grab her back into her room and tie her up. Soon Geum is trapped in her closet, and the thieves try to make their escape. However this time Gun Woo comes down to the kitchen looking for her. Lackey bangs his metal case against the wall, attracting Gun Woo’s attention. He sees Lackey’s figure behind the wall, and Truck Leader swings a heavy object across Gun Woo’s head. Lackey is about to tape Gun Woo’s mouth when the doorbell rings AGAIN. This time it’s Zar Lin, carrying San. These thieves have the worst luck in the world. They decide to just burst through the door and run for their scooters. Zar Lin and San are knocked back in the process, and she has the good sense to call the police. Tae Won finishes his hair appointment and is informed that his wife is getting ready in room 548. Hmm – and he just saw Hwang Yong go up to the fifth floor… Highly suspicious, he gets on the elevator, and Hyun Joo realizes that he may be on to Yoon Joo and Hwang Yong. She didn’t want it to get this far. She pushes Soo Jung to delay him!! Turns out, the thieves had a replacement lottery ticket they were going to plant in the drawer. When Truck Leader had left the room because of the initial doorbell, Lackey had quickly planted the fake one, adding the phone number in the back and circling the winning numbers. He took the real one for himself – where it now hangs a little too loosely in his back pocket as he races through the streets of Seoul.
