Soo-Hyeon Hong, "A commercial woman who seduced my friend's husband of 20 years"
The 17th episode of TV CHOSUN's weekend mini-series 'Red Balloon', which aired on the 18th, recorded a national viewership rating of 8.9% according to Nielsen Korea, and the highest viewership rating per minute rose to 9.3%.
Na Gong-ju (played by Yoon Mi-ra) called Jo Eun-kang to confirm what Yeo Jeon-hee (played by Lee Sang-sook) said that Go Cha-won (played by Lee Sang-woo) and Jo Eun-kang (played by Seo Ji-hye) were living together. When Princess Na ignored him and said, “Don’t think about anything else. How dare you, our level is different from yours,” Jo Eungang made a cold, venomous expression.
Jin Jin-cheol (played by Lee Seong-jae) went to Jo Eun-kang to give him an envelope of money. When Jin-cheol said, "Most men don't break up their families," Jo Eung-kang surprised Jin-cheol by revealing his determination, saying, "I'm just going to go and see where it ends. I don't want to die like this to people who ignore me and trample on me."
However, Jo Eungang could not sleep well. Han Bada said, "You're throwing it away because it's dirty, so pick it up, wash it clean, dry it, and keep it for yourself," Na Gongju said, "If you're going to have an affair, smoke it with the right thing," and I was anxious, recalling the junk dealer who said, "You're not good enough." At the same time, he expressed psychological pressure by sending himself text messages such as ‘Eungang, cheer up,’ ‘Don’t be ignored,’ and ‘You are not below par.’
Jo Eungang received a call from a higher level and ran with excitement. Go Cha-won apologized on behalf of Yeo Jeon-hee and warmly held Jo Eung-kang's hand, saying, "I'm sorry you went through something you shouldn't have to go through because of me." At the moment when Jo Eungang was moved, Gocha received a call about a couple's meeting.
Jo Eun-kang's anxiety reached a peak when she saw Go Cha-won dressed up smartly for a couple's gathering. I even imagined a high dimension and a sea hugging and kissing, and I soothed my extreme anxiety with alcohol. When Go-won came in around the time he had finished drinking half a bottle of liquor, Jo Eung-kang showed his disappointment and snapped, "You're not going to divorce, right? I feel so worthless, drinking alone here." He also pointed out that he was still wearing the ring. Go-Cha-won said, “I admit you seem indecisive,” but excused himself by citing Mi-Pung’s problem. Jo Eung-kang, who was drunk, raised his voice, and Go Cha-won eventually took off his wedding ring. Jo Eun-kang said that people were talking behind her back in front of her, and she pleaded earnestly with tears, saying, “Can you please stop raising my hand and save my pride?”
Jo Eungang, who visited Hanbada intoxicated by alcohol, sat across from Hanbada at the same cafe where Hanbada had slapped him, alongside Go-won. To Han Bada, who said, “If I did anything wrong, it must have been my fault for trusting you,” Jo Eun-kang said, “It’s not because I trusted you, but you’re a fool. You never once said you were my friend,” and let out all the sorrow that had been building up for a long time. Jo Eung-kang said, "If you give me money, I'm a perfect errand boy who can be used as a multi-purpose person," and even listed the blind date with a divorced man, a couple ring, and the 10 million won he gave me when I got married. In response to Han Bada's comment that it was a cost of hard work, he retorted, "It's a price for enjoying your arrogance." He continued, "Since when did I overtake your place? Since when I wasn't treated as a friend and was trampled on. When you stepped on me, I squirmed." He continued, "You didn't even treat me like a human being. You weren't even wary of me. I suffered because of your arrogance. “It is,” he said harshly.
Hanbada snapped, “No matter how much you tease me, you’re a commercial woman who seduced my husband, a friend of 20 years.” Jo Eungang countered, "I was the one who seduced him, but it was your husband who acted. That hurt your respect." In response, Hanbada slapped water. Jo Eung-kang was filled with tears as she resented Han Bada for stealing the high-level child she was dating before her eyes right before her eyes. At the same time, she honestly confessed her desire to envy Han Bada, saying, "I wanted to say something I've never been able to say before. Maybe I coveted it not because of Ji Won, but because it was your husband. You fueled my desire. For the past 20 years, I've been jealous of you, so I've struggled to be like you." did. In addition, he predicted an excommunication by making a bloody provocation, saying, "You should wear it like a medal for adultery that cannot be erased by any detergent. Even if you want to, you don't have the strength to do so. Since this has come to this, can't I live like you for once?"
Jin Jin-cheol (played by Lee Seong-jae) spent a happy time with Jo Dae-geun (played by Choi Dae-cheol) and even kissed him, then Go Geum-ah (played by Kim Hye-sun) got off in front of the house and watched with a stern face. He was devastated when Gogeumah ignored him and passed by. To Jin Jin-cheol's words, "Don't meet that person," Go Geum-ah protested, saying, "I want to try what you did, but why not?" When Go Geum-ah, who did not like him but ridiculed him for marrying because he wanted money, Jin Jin-cheol tried to hold back and said, "I will live my life in atonement, so get it over with before the kids catch me. There will be no divorce in my life."
On the other hand, after applying to recruit overseas volunteers, Jo Eun-san called Jin Jin-cheol with the intention of leaving and asked, "Meet me now. Just one last time." But Jin Jin-cheol said not to wait and hung up. When Jo Dae-geun's ex-wife, Lee Ji-ok (played by Yoon Ji-sook), told him that she would inform the children, Jin Jin-cheol visited Jo Dae-geun and politely asked, "Please do not meet the children's mother." As Jo Dae-geun, who was confused, avoided meeting with Go Geum-ah, curiosity grew as to whether the crisis between Jin-cheol Jin and Go Geum-ah would be resolved.
