Our archaeopteryx decides revenge is a dish best served piping hot, and after discovering our leading lady's secret identity, he doesn't hold back on the punishment, intentionally placing her in stressful situations that have her wanting to pull out his prehistoric bird feathers. But it's hard to keep playing the villain when his romantic urges have him wanting to be her hero instead.
EPISODES 5-6Now that Tae-mu has figured out the glaringly obvious truth, he's understandably upset by the betrayal — but Tae-mu isn't a man who typically acts on impulse. So, following a night of plotting, stewing, and shot-putting Hari's doll across his office, he calmly asks Hari (as Geum-hee) out to lunch, giving her the opportunity to confess her sins before unleashing the full wrath of his psychological warfare. After a series of probing questions, she continues to dodge the truth, and — unbeknownst to Hari — her dishonesty prompts a disappointed Tae-mu to throw down the gauntlet.
While Hari is in earshot, Tae-mu schedules a meeting with her team, forcing her to rush back to the office where the non-public-transportation-taking Tae-mu is already waiting. He orders her to redevelop the white kimchi ravioli recipe and cut the cost of ingredients by a whopping 20%.
