[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 19th, KBS 2TV's 'Once Again' depicted a scene where Lee Minjung hesitated to tell Cha Hwayeon that she was divorced.


Jang Okbun (Cha Hwayeon), who rushed to her sister's kimbap shop with the merchant association members, said she came to "warn" them but ended up retreating without properly speaking to Kang Choyeon (Lee Jung-eun). To make matters worse, Kang Choyeon firmly declared that she would not join the coercive merchant association that demanded she follow their rules.


Song Nahee (Lee Minjung) and Yoon Kyujin (Sangyeop Lee) are alternately harassed by phone by the director over their TV panel work. When Yoon Kyujin says, "The director doesn't seem like someone who will give up easily. What should we do?" Song Nahee replies, "Do we look like we're going to broadcast in this situation?" Then Yoon Kyujin says, "Since it's come to this, maybe we should just tell the director," and Song Nahee is surprised, asking, "Are you serious?" Song Nahee reminds him that the hospital director and Choi Yoonjung (Kim Boyeon) are close, saying this is a completely different matter.

After Kang Choyeon declares she will not join the merchant association, the association members impose various disadvantages on Kang Choyeon and the family at her sister's kimbap shop. In response, Kang Choyeon vents her frustrations to Song Youngdal (Cheon Hojin), who replies, "I understand." He advises, "If possible, try to bend a little. It's hard to do business if you get on the wrong side of the women in the market." However, Kang Choyeon refuses to yield, only getting angrier and leaving. Watching this, Yang Chisoo (Ahn Gilgang) tells Cheon Hojin, "The more I see her, the more she reminds me of you."


Yoon Kyujin and Yoon Jaeseok (Lee Sangyi) ride the elevator with the director. Song Nahee gets on at another floor. Unaware that the director is present, Song Nahee badmouths him, calling him a "whiner," and despite Yoon Kyujin and Yoon Jaeseok's hints, she doesn't realize it. Eventually, when everyone else gets off, Yoon Kyujin and Song Nahee are caught by the director. The director threatens them, indirectly mentioning the hospital's deficit problem.

Song Nahee calls Jang Okbun and suggests, "Take a day off today and go on a date with me." Jang Okbun happily says, "I was really excited," and immediately goes to meet Song Nahee. Song Nahee, who came to the beach with her mother, feels uneasy because Jang Okbun packs a bowl of seaweed soup, saying Yoon Kyujin likes it, while they are eating at a lodging house. In the end, Song Nahee cannot bring herself to say that she divorced Yoon Kyujin.


Meanwhile, when a cockroach appears in the store, Lee Jung-eun runs to Cheon Hojin and breaks her stubbornness by saying, "I will join the merchant association."


Choi Yoonjung throws a tantrum and hangs up the phone when Yoon Jaeseok forgets their dinner appointment. Song Dahi (Lee Chohi), who overhears this, tries to soothe Choi Yoonjung by saying, "Boss, I like steak too."



KBS 2TV drama 'Once Again' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 7:55 PM.
