Bad Love - Episode 10

This episode was another emotional roller-coaster. It was fast paced with a lot of revelations and shifts. We are half-way through the drama series as there is a total of 20 episodes in Bad Love. Episode 10 sets a different tone to the drama. New beginnings - Yong-gi's abeoji passes away. Yong-gi and In-jung breaks-up. We see the once impulsive illegitimate son installed as the head of the family, sole heir and Chairman of his father's estate.

Many have also asked about Lee Su-hwan. Is he having health issues? Well yes, in episode 9 we were given glimpse of a terminal illness. Su-hwan has trouble breathing at times. Doctors say he has weak lungs but need further tests to provide a conclusive diagnosis. Probably more on this in the next episode.

As soon as Kang Yong-gi (Kwon Sang-woo) finds out that Na In-jung (Lee Yo-won) told his father everything, he rushes to stop her from leaving. During the family confrontation, Kang Joo-ran blurted out "This is the woman who had an affair with my husband and got pregnant!". Oh dear...now everything is out in the open. Only In-jung and Joo-ran knew about the baby and miscarriage.

No more secrets. Everything is out in the open...

In-jung leaves in a cab but Yong-gi still wants to pursue her. Yong-gi's dad begs him to let her go, but Yong-gi is adamant. He gets into another cab and chases her - again. In-jung stops to confront Yong-gi and they both had a very emotional discussion. Yong-gi, despite all, says he loves In-jung and is willing to stay by her side. In-jung asks Yong-gi to stop being so possessive and let her go.

In-jung and Yong-gi exchange piercing truths

In-jung : If i really loved you, i wouldn't have been afraid.
So maybe i don't love you, i just love the idea of loving you.

In-jung rejects Yong-gi's love and says she'd rather die. She goes and stands right in the middle of the road, waiting for a car to knock her down. An on-coming car comes and Yong-gi rushes out to safe her just in the nick of time.

Yong-gi saves In-jung from her ridiculous stunt

Although In-jung was unscathed, the near-accident signified the death of In-jung - in Yong-gi's heart. That was the last straw. It was like a stab in the heart for Yong-gi. He turns his back and walks away.

Yong-gi turns his back on In-jung and walks away.

Yong-gi returns to the hotel to find that his father has collapsed. They rush him to the hospital in an ambulance, but Yong-gi's dad breathed his last breath in the ambulance, with Yong-gi, Joo-ran and son-in-law Su-hwan at his bedside.

Yong-gi's dad dies...

Poor Yong-gi, he lost the one person
who truly loved him. His 아버지 (abeoji).

Mr Han and his daughter (who looks like Yong-gi's ex-gf Kim Jo-ann) arrives to pay their respects. Mr Han is Yong-gi's dad's business confidant. His daughter, who in the previous episode confessed that she wants to find a rich man and get married, catches a glimpse of handsome Yong-gi. She calls him the "Troubled Prince" (i like the sound of that) and immediately has her sights set on him.

"Troubled Prince" Yong-gi

Samchun arrives (without his sunglasses) to pay his respects and Yong-gi tells him what happened between In-jung and himself.

I put my heart and love on the line, but In-jung
did not trust me enough. She put a knife through my heart.

Yong-gi has loved and lost - twice. He buries his hurt and decides to be the man his dad was.

Yong-gi prepares to go to work.
He is now Chairman of his father's company.

Yong-gi's dad left a will which puts Yong-gi in charge of his construction company. Stepmother and Joo-ran are at the mercy of Yong-gi now.

Su-hwan files for divorce, but Joo-ran refuses to sign the papers. We also find out in this episode that Miso (Su-hwan & Joo-ran's daughter) is actually adopted.

Yong-gi is the sole heir to his father's fortune.
Both Stepmother and Joo-ran need to live "peaceably" with him.

When Joo-ran cries and clings on to Su-hwan despite his pleas for divorce, Yong-gi tells his sister..."Dad did not warm up to your husband because he wanted Su-hwan to love you, not take over the company."

Yong-gi meets Mr Han - his late father's business confidant

Yong-gi is now Charmian of the construction company and he is introduced to Mr Han - who will show him the ropes on managing the conglomerate his dad left him. One of my favourite scenes is when Yong-gi's father's faithful driver offers Yong-gi a piece of advice..."To be like your father, you need to hide your feelings."

The first decision Yong-gi makes at work is to go ahead with the Samcheok property project. This means, the little town of Samcheok - the place where his samchun and In-jung resides, will be rebuilt.

Yong-gi's good friend Christian flies in from the States to offer him support. Yong-gi has also entrusted his friend the company's finances.

Yong-gi is happy to have his friend here in Seoul.
Christian is concerned that Yong-gi has forced himself
to become a different man...

Yong-gi is learning fast. He is less impulsive and does not wear his heart on his sleeve anymore. He has one of his men spy on In-jung who is now back in Samcheok.

Yong-gi takes over his father's company - Daehan Construction

Episode 10 ends with In-jung, Joo-ran, Su-hwan and Yong-gi back at Samcheok. Joo-ran went there to ask In-jung to leave for good ( to go far far) because her estranged husband has plans to go back to her (silly Su-hwan). Yong-gi observes the drama enfolding from afar.
