Oh My Venus (Korean Drama)

Episode 7

 Young-ho shields himself and Joo-eun with his umbrella, says, "Your body is mine... you can't say no," and moves in for a sweet kiss. Joo-eun kisses him back, then looks a bit dazed as Young-ho smiles at her and puts her glasses back on. She murmurs, "Take your clothes off," confusing Young-ho, but he grins and does as he's told.

HAHA, she wanted his coat to hide her face, and keeps it tossed over her head on the drive home. Young-ho thinks she's adorable, and keeps trying to take the coat off her head. When they get back to his place, Joo-eun runs to her room and collapses, replaying the kiss in her mind over and over as her heart pounds and her face burns.

She tries to write her physical reactions off as her hypothyroidism, but a quick internet search shows that it would actually decrease her heart rate. Suddenly she sees her Young-ho ghost hovering near her on the bed, and she hilariously prepares for another kiss, but he disappears before their lips touch. And then he's on the other side, so Joo-eun puckers up again — only to be told to do fifty sit-ups. Hee.

In the morning, Joo-eun carefully primps before going out for breakfast, but Young-ho still startles her by waiting right outside her door. He thanks her for her gift yesterday, and says that today it's his turn. She wonders if he'll give her a gift, or a dessert, or even another kiss... but he just produces a scale and motions her onto it.

He does notice her perfume and asks about it, but he's merciless when they realize she gained some weight back on her "Joo-eun Day." She gets on the treadmill but soon turns it off, saying that losing weight too fast could kill her. Young-ho says that she will have her body her whole life and should keep it in peak condition, but Joo-eun grumbles that he's not as if he'll be living with her forever. Young-ho says that's yet to be determined. Oh really?

Back on the treadmill, Joo-eun loses her footing and is flung backwards into Young-ho's arms. He asks dryly if this is that thing people call a "backhug," ha.

There's a commotion at the office this morning, with a woman in Soo-jin's office yelling at her — it's the mother of one of the employees the chaebol daughter assaulted. The mother wants an apology, not money. Soo-jin sits silently with her head bowed, but Joo-eun runs in to gently ask the woman to calm down. She takes the woman to a coffee shop, and lets her tell her story.

It sounds like the chaebol daughter was pretty brutal to the employee, beating her badly, and they just want her to admit she was wrong. The mother breaks down in tears, and Joo-eun advises her to drag this out, and try to get more money. She'll get a bigger payout that way, but also the apology she wants.

Walking back to the office, Joo-eun remembers her mother mourning her father's death, and how his employer had tried to give them money as compensation. Her mother had thrown the money back at the employer, saying that what she wanted was her husband back. When the employer said that her father was to blame for the accident that killed him, her mother had wailed that they weren't being treated like human beings just because they were poor.

Now Joo-eun calls her mother, who's busy opening the store she bought for her brother. She agrees to come to the grand opening that weekend, and she and Mom bicker lovingly.

Joo-eun talks to Soo-jin back at the office, reminding her that they used to promise to become good lawyers. Soo-jin coldly says that she's not interested in discussing the past, and that someone has to represent the chaebol daughter, so it may as well be them. She gives Joo-eun the reponsibility of handling the case from now on.

Joo-eun asks if Soo-jin really has no intention of apologizing to her, but Soo-jin says that she never stole Woo-shik — he left on his own. She asks if Joo-eun feels wronged, and says that anything she has can be taken away.
