On this day's broadcast, Lee Yeon and Chun Moo-yeong entered the world created by Jang San-beom (Ko Geon-han) to find Ryu Hong-joo. A stunning landscape unfolded in front of them. No matter how good he is at mimicry, he was astonished at the fact that he vividly realized the drama set as if he had come to the future. In particular, the script, which was written by Jang San-beom, shocked me because the words of Ryu Hong-joo were written as they were.
Jang San-beom was a more dangerous being than he thought. Upon hearing the news of Lee Yeon and Chun Moo-yeong from Goo Shin-joo (played by Hwang Hee), the Undressing Party (played by Kim Jeong-nan) and Hyun Eui-ong (played by Ahn Gil-gang) were horrified. At first glance, it looks like reality, but the world of the wicked is the home and playground of ghosts that have been eaten for thousands of years. In a dangerous place where even the gods do not dare to set foot, no one could be safe if the opponent was a long-distance criminal.
A crisis also came to Lee Rang (played by Kim Bum). Lee Rang was waiting for Lee Yeon and Chun Moo-yeong to come back with a piece of silk. Jang San-beom, who can not only see, hear, and speak, but also imitate the memory of the other person. He lured Lee Rang out with the voice of the Savior and told her to stain the silk thread with blood. Afterwards, it was disturbed by the voices and memories of Lee Yeon and the assistant manager. This was a way to invite the wronged ones. Realizing that he had been tricked, Rang tried to erase the blood, but it only stained it faster.
The evil people who came to this world started attacking Lee Rang. While Lee Rang was helpless, she tried not to let go of the silk thread, the only way for Lee Yeon to return. At the moment of desperation, Jang Yeo-hee (played by Woo Hyun-jin) appeared and barely escaped the crisis. And the two confirmed their hearts with a heartfelt kiss. The situation of Lee Yeon and Chun Moo-young was also precarious. Ryu Hong-ju, possessed by Jang San-beom, could not remember the two friends.
Then, the first step was to find Jangsanbeom. Chun Moo-young remembered the snacks Ryu Hong-ju was holding before he was kidnapped and succeeded in finding Jang San-beom, but it was a trap. Jang San-beom, who appeared in the form of Ryu Hong-ju, rather provoked Cheon Moo-yeong. Because of Cheon Moo-young, Ryu Hong-ju will die here. At that time, Yiyeon appeared and attacked Jangsanbeom with a duduri sword, but it did not work. Jang San-beom put Yi-yeon and Chun Moo-yeong into a test by telling them to save Hong-joo Ryu within an hour.
Lee Yeon and Chun Moo-yeong who are in trouble with Kim Doo-han (played by Ahn Jae-mo) in the drama 'The Wild Age', which is hard to believe even after watching it. While confused, the background changed to a set of Quix Show. The MC of the quiz show was Cheon Moo-young's older brother Cheon Ho-yeong (played by Shim Hee-seop), and he asked about the day's events that Lee Yeon and Cheon Moo-young kept secret. On the day of selecting the 4 mountain gods, Lee Yeon attacked Cheon Ho-yeong to save Cheon Moo-young.
Because Cheon Ho-yeong tried to kill Cheon Moo-young. Despite Cheon Moo-young's pleas, Lee Yeon did not stop. Thus, a gap of emotions was created between the two. The more he said this, the more Cheon Moo-yeong became angry, and Yi-yeon realized that it was Jang San-beom's trap. Jang San-beom, who played with Lee Yeon and Cheon Moo-yeong by changing stages as if changing a TV channel, soon called them into the first space.
Yiyeon moved from space to room, doubting whether Jangsanbeom had imitated Cheon Mooyeong's memories. Even so, Lee Yeon, who wanted to trust Chun Moo-young, asked him. Chun Moo-young told him to save Ryu Hong-ju, saying that his own life was not important. Just then, like Hansel and Gretel, the path of cookies that Ryu Hong-ju was holding unfolded in front of them. Lee Yeon and Chun Moo-yeong entered the place where Ryu Hong-joo was on the edge. However, Ryu Hong-ju, who became Jang San-beom's bride, was a puppet. Ryu Hong-ju brutally attacked the two friends as Jang San-beom ordered, and Yi-yeon and Cheon Moo-young did their best to recover his memory.
Lee Yeon and Chun Moo-young, who could not be Ryu Hong-joo's opponents, soon faced a crisis. Cheon Moo-yeong handed over the 'Obbit Fragment', a token of friendship he had, and a moment flashed through Ryu Hong-ju's mind that they fought a yaksha together as children. Ryu Hong-ju, who remembered his friends like that, threw a knife at Jang San-beom, and Cheon Moo-young and Lee Yeon joined in to defeat Jang San-beom. The friendship of the three mountain gods, who said they had never lost when they were three, shone and gave a sense of exhilaration.
An unexpected twist came. The moment everyone returned safely to the real world, Chun Moo-young disappeared. In fact, Cheon Moo-young deliberately invited Jang San-beom to get the essence of a thousands-year-old monster that was like a medicine to him. Of course, he didn't think he would kidnap Ryu Hong-ju, but in the end, Chun Moo-yeong achieved his goal and regained his whole body. To Yiyeon, who has been chasing him, Cheon Moo-young reveals that he is Hongbaek Tal and warns him that he will never be able to return to the present day where he has a loved one.
It was Lee Rang who protected Lee Yeon from Chun Moo-young, who drew his sword. Lee Rang came to the world of the wicked with a black cat, a spiritual creature, in search of his brother who did not return. However, this only stimulated Chun Moo-young. Seeing the nine-tailed fox brothers caring for each other, Cheon Moo-young felt anger and whispered to Lee Rang about the future he saw and left. Lee Yeon was heartbroken by her friend's betrayal, and it was hard to believe that Lee Rang would become a sacrifice in place of her older brother.
Chun Moo-young's risky moves continued. When Ryu Hong-joo asked if he had gotten what he wanted, he replied that he would get his brother back and fight Lee Yeon until the end. Cheon Moo-yeong, who promised to play the villain despite Ryu Hong-joo's persuasion. Yi-yeon was also angry, saying that he would not forgive Cheon Moo-yeong. Attention is focusing on whether their distorted relationship can be put back together, and whether Yiyeon, whose time is running out, can return everything to its original place and return to the present.
