Roughly translated: "If the boss is an idiot, he'll have an idiot for a henchman". Chairman Han has the henchman he deserves. WHY does he think that the Assemblyman's daughter problems will go away when the grandma dies, even though the evidence is still out there unlocated? There are PICTURES, for heaven's sake. Then he tells the Henchman "you've done good work" when he should have disposed of him right then!
Chairman Han then goes on to have his confidential meetings guarded by his son's employees, rather than his own, and to allow Agents Hong and Park to overhear his criminal threats in the directors' meeting; to be on hand for his secret meeting with the Assemblyman; and even to soliloquize to them about his criminal plans in the limousine!
However, when some more nimble-minded boss takes of Chairman Han's empire, he will really have to give that Henchman some cement shoes. He really makes Sei-jun look like a mental giant.
- In the first burglary, he had Kyong-tak on the ground and could have easily gotten away with the box of evidence. Instead he left it there.
- Moreover, if he had just gone there when Na-Young and the Grandma were both at work, he wouldn't have had any trouble at all! And it wouldn't be hard to find out when that was, since, at the time, "Grandma Wey" (if you will :-) ) was still working in Chairman Han's OWN HOUSE!
- Then, he jumps to the conclusion that Kyong-mi is the granddaughter from having seen her in the funeral parlor once (I THINK that was it, but I had to rack my brains to figure that out). This despite the fact that he has run into Na-Young on three separate occasions: after both burglaries, and in the stairway of the funeral parlor!
- Furthermore, when the Grandma was dead and Na-Young was presumably holding vigil, why didn't he go right over to the house right then and search the entire house at his leisure? Why does he wait for several days, and not go back there until after Na-Young has come back from the fishing village?
- Then, he goes over there, searches the house, and does not find the evidence which the Grandma has stashed in a very large jar! Would it have been so impossible to conduct a thorough search? I mean, that house isn't like Charles Foster Kane's mansion!
- The Henchman is presumably known at least in police circles to be working for Han. But, at a time when the assemblyman is supposedly under the media's eye all the time, and when the Assemblyman must meet secretly with Chairman Han in a secret house in the woods, or whatever that was, the Henchman meets with the Assemblyman on a public street in broad daylight! If this was arranged without Chairman Han's knowledge, this is stupid AND insubordinate. If Chairman Han told him to do it, then he and the henchman are both stupid.
All in all, this doesn't present a very flattering portrait of the Korean criminal class.
