Recap Ep.8:
Taesok and the Central Area team--Myungeun, Wujin and Soonchul (who is asleep)--rush out to cover the congressman stabbing story. Myungeun goes to the hospital to look around, because she has connections to famous people. They don't know that some gangster types are threatening the congressman in his bed: "So sorry this had to happen to you, buddy. Keep your mouth shut." Doing some research, Taesok discovers that a certain construction company is involved in a reconstruction project in this area, and so is the congressman. When he tells his boss, the boss says, kill it, that's one of our biggest sponsors, don't stick your neck out, you have enough on your plate, blah blah blah. In her research, Wujin discovers these connections too, but Taesok publicly quashes her story in the dept meeting. Then, he announces that "experienced" Myungeun and some other guy will be on the investigative reporting show team, even though he told Juhee earlier that he definitely wanted Wujin. "I changed my mind" he tells Juhee. Wujin is hurt. T calls W to a secret meeting, tells her they are going to investigate this thing on the sly, and they begin to do so. Lots of happy scenes of them researching together and separately (at their homes). Unfortunately, because Soonchul is stupid when they go undercover to talk to a union leader, the gangsters find out GBS is onto them. Director Lee of the construction company, an obvious slimebag (same guy who threatened congressman), calls his undercover spy in the opposite side of the newsroom, who finds out from Soonchul that Wujin is the one with some secret. The other boss (I'll figure out his name later) goes to Wujin with stories of being sued, she'll ruin her life, she'd better be careful, all under the rubric of disinterested advice. He runs into Myungeun, who naturally flaps off at the mouth about Wujin (clearly out of jealousy) and believes Wujin is doing this on her own. So Director Lee and his cohorts discuss ways to stop her (including the outdated method of killing her). The union leader and his wife go to Wujin's house and the wife beats her up; Wujin's parents go ballistic and tell her to stop rocking the boat. Wujin's mom calls T on W's cellphone and reams him from there to Sunday. Meantime, Dir. Lee meets with a company employee, a chemist (Jaeho) who used to be Wujin's news mentor and was her news hero. Next morning, T meets W in lobby, yells at her for not calling him about the attack. Jaeho arrives and pretends he just happened to be there; W is thrilled; they say goodbye to T and walk off together chatting. Taesok: looking concerned. Or suspicious. Or something....heh heh heh....
