Another Sim Card Snack
Kyung-Yi and K share a heated argument that quickly turns physical. Kyung-Yi arrives before K, and the two exchange blows, which eventually leads to genuine punches.
While K is straddling Kyung-Yi, she calls out K’s methods and how she only kills those who deserve it. With her wrist handcuffed, K looks set to chop Kyung-Yi’s hand…until Santa shows and throws a net on K. Kyung-Yi inevitably slips away, using a kayak to swim across the lake and eventually diving underwater to evade the River Force.
Meanwhile, Yong Sook mentions a guy called Ko Dam and his business. Mr Kim is grim-faced as Yong-Sook contemplates killing him. However, she plays it off as a joke. ..
Je-Hu and Kyung-Yi argue about who should be responsible for the legwork in the wake of K’s escape. Je-Hu tells Kyung-Yi that she should leave the work to them, but Kyung-Yi disagrees, telling Je-Hu that she wants to read the novel for herself. There are a stack of other books there too, and Kyung-Yi begins reading through them outside; an absolute state with flies buzzing all around her head.
Kyung-Yi is a mess and can’t provide a clear answer to the detectives’ questions. She’s also shown a letter that seems to be written by someone else. The detectives are determined to find out who wrote it and what happened to Kyung-Yi’s husband.
Kyung-Yi reflects on how she was looking for proof that her husband was a bad man. She tried to find any sort of information but came up trumps. At least, that’s what she wants the officers to believe. Hysterically crying, flashes of the past with Seong-U show a very different story.
Kyung-Yi sat with her husband in the school, showing him a picture of Yi-Kyung after noticing them together. Kyung-Yi showed Seong-U a picture of K just prior to this and asked for his side of the story. Now, it’s intentionally vague and open to interpretation but personally, it seems like she’s feigning grief with the officers and in reality, was well aware something was going on with her husband and K. Kyung-Yi confronted him about it but K potentially killed the man before he could divulge anything.
Eventually, Santa takes Kyung-Yi home, cleaning up her house and forcing her to actually have a shower and wash up. Invigorated and feeling better, Je-Hui rings but Kyung-Yi is convinced that K will strike again sooner rather than later. With the team gathered, and Gyeong-Su leading the way, they try to deduce who the next target will be.
After some reverse image search engineering online, Santa finally finds a puppet for sale on the internet that he can identify as one belonging to a former IT boss who has been disgraced after selling company equipment at his place of work. Santa thanks the puppet maker for their ingenuity and decides to buy the puppet from them.
Kyung-Yi shows up to work in her pest control gear, discovering a cockroach and a note scrawled under a desk reading “kill me.” Thanks to a video obtained by one of the employee’s, the gang learns that Su-Yong’s boss, Ko-Dam, is a pretty nasty guy and he was probably bullying Su-Yong this whole time.
Ko-Dam, who is now a lawyer, has given Je-Hui and Kyung-Yi an opportunity to speak to him directly. Although he keeps his cool during the meeting, the moments after see Ko-Dam smash up a mirror with his wrapped wrist. ..
Meanwhile, Gyeong-Su and Santa work together and discover that the desk plant actually happens to hide a USB stick under the fake plant. Santa and Gyeong-Su work together to uncover what’s hidden on it. It seems Su-Yong has been operating a side gig for something called Mironet. Now, they’re not the only ones on the hunt.
Kyung-Yi and her team come across a man named Samsy who they believe may have some information that could help them in their search for Ko-Dam. However, Samsy seems to be unsure of what he can tell them and Kyung-Yi begins to question whether or not he has any real information to share. ..
Ko-Dam is speaking pig Latin in this alien footage. Kyung-Yi interprets this as meaning that the campus footage should be uploaded to the main page. ..
This video continues to circulate on Mironet, showing Ko-Dam doing something he’s never done before. Kyung-Yi goes all Penthouse on us and eats the SD card. For those who don’t get the reference, check out this glorious clip.
Je-Hui feeds back to Yong-Sook around who the next target is before joining the others out for dinner. Gun-Wook meanwhile, spies K out wandering around on the CCTV footage and eventually heads up to see her. He warns that Kyung-Yi is watching Ko-Dam and she needs to be pitch perfect in order to carry this out.
Kyung-Yi sits in her office and contemplates how to take out K. She’s well aware that the woman is formidable and contemplates what to do next. As she wonders aloud whether to kill her, Santa drops his coffee mug in shock, allowing it to smash on the floor. Black text underneath reads “Bongbaek Girls’ High School 33rd Alumni Meeting.”
The Episode Review
Inspector Koo returns with an episode that seems to blend bits of Taxi Driver with the quirky humour we’ve become accustomed to in this series. The beginning “fight” between K and Kyung-Yi is the perfect blend of wacky and bonkers that makes this such an endearing watch, while at the same time presenting both characters as credible threats. ..
Kyung-Yi’s hygiene has been a running gag on this show and, personally, I don’t see the appeal. Maybe it’s just my comedic taste (or extreme OCD to cleanliness) but this doesn’t really engage me in empathizing with her. The drinking and the little jokes around that (like carrying two flasks to the law firm) are where the humor works better. ..
The story is interesting, but I’m not sure if it’s really worth our time. The main point is that K seems to be a turncoat and we’re not sure why. I’m not sure if this is a big red herring or if there’s something more important going on here.
The article discusses the drama between Yong-Sook and K and Kyung-Yo. It is unsure if they will form an alliance or not, but it is possible that Gun-Wook and Santa will be killed or hurt in the process.
Inspector Koo, a new k-drama released this year, has been a surprise hit with viewers. While it may not be the best of the year, it’s still a solid entry on the calendar.
