First, for the clients [these events unfold over the course of the episode]. After some investigation, DAC learns the girl picked up by fireman Cheolsu in his car was the fiancée of his fireman buddy who died just before his wedding, two years prior, and that they may have been visiting the friend’s grave. Sherlock pretends to be a PTSD counselor for the fiancée, and determines that Cheolsu feels guilty for the friend’s death, as the man was subbing for him when he died—what’s worse, Cheolsu was on a date. They get some fake concert tickets for the man’s actual day off, and the fiancée convinces Cheolsu that she was the one who asked her fiancé to switch days off with Cheolsu, so it’s not his fault after all. Then, Sherlock gets “stuck” in the elevator with Cheolsu and pretends he wishes he’d grabbed for the chance to tell a woman about his love for her. [Sherlock is, as observed by Minyoung and Moojin in the tech truck, a very bad actor, but he serves the purpose.]
[The following happens toward the end of the episode.] Cheolsu goes to the nursing home. He explains to nurse Haeshim that he only ignored her because he was afraid of dying young and leaving someone he loves behind. Now he wants to live instead. When she hears this, she laughs, tells him she was only attracted to him because he was unattainable, and flounces off. Grandma Han, Moojin and others watching nearby are as stunned as Cheolsu.
Meanwhile, Yiseol recognizes the Maestro, whom she knows is the loan shark that loaned funds to get the place started to her fiancé, Go Do-il. Apparently, Do-il and the Maestro had become friends of a sort. Maestro implies to her that he’s out of the mob.
Yiseol then discovers the true business of Cyrano Theater. Minyoung wants to tell her about the unpaid loan, but Sherlock spares her this additional pain, as Yiseol believes the loan was repaid by Do-il. She is, consequently, seriously angry with Sherlock. We also learn that Sherlock was on the phone with Do-il when he heard the car accident that killed Do-il and badly injured Yiseol (who still nurses pains in her hand). It's not clear whether Yiseol or a cabbie was driving them at the time, they were on the way to the airport to see Sherlock in a play in England. Sherlock feels guilty for this and for other reasons related to his own selfishness in his relationship with Do-il and Yiseol.
When they see Minyoung avoiding the Maestro, his two thugs are insulted and confront her—at night in the street, the dopes—to tell her what a great guy he is. During the conversation, among other things, they let slip the term “Boss” and from these clues, Minyoung determines they knew him the whole time and that he was really high up in the organization before he left it (which of course, he did not do). They beg her not to reveal the conversation. When she leaves, they tell each other what a prize she is for the Maestro.
Sherlock is annoyed by the Maestro’s request to target Minyoung, but does not tell her about it. [It seems he may have refused to do it, but it’s hard to say.] After his meeting with Yiseol, the Maestro again visits the theater and remembers overhearing a phone conversation between Do-il and Sherlock, in which it was clear that Sherlock was a selfish bas_tard. In the present, Sherlock arrives and they have words about Do-il. The Maestro throws Sherlock up against the wall, threatening to tell Yiseol “Everything I know.”

I’m really enjoying watching both actors’ faces when the Maestro talks with Sherlock. They’re both so expressive, it’s really a pleasure.
I’ve known some firemen in my time. Most of them aren’t in that great a shape, they all sit around the station and eat for two days at a time waiting for fires. So the gym scene was pretty amusing to me, as it always is when I watch the portrayals of firemen and policemen on American shows. Yeah, some of them are body-builders, but most, not. Just sayin’.
And here's something Bo finds veddy interestink. I don't think the flower shirt guy who hangs out in the Maestro's place showed his face even once. I'll have to go and look again. But there did seem to be a few more other customers for a change. What a relief, all that food isn't going to waste any more.
