The never-ending twists and turns of “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection” are one thing that won’t alter no matter how much the plot does. The previous week’s episodes left a lot of people wondering what would happen next, from discovering Hwang Chan Sung’s (Lee Jung Shin) true nature to detesting Go Myoung Ji (Jo Yoon Hee) even more than before. These are three unexpected facets of episodes five and six of “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection.”
This article features material that shows instances of domestic violence.
Below are spoilers for episodes 5 and 6.
Hwang Chan Sung’s true personality
In the K-drama “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection,” the plot takes a turn with each new episode. A character may impress you one week for being a decent person and then turn out to be a psychopath the next. And with Hwang Chan Sung, that is precisely what took place. He was incredibly kind and completely devoted to Han Mo Ne (Lee Yoo Bi) in earlier episodes. This week’s episodes also see Chan Sung going above and above to ensure Mo Ne’s safety. Episode 5 opens with Mo Ne setting up a fictitious scene and accusing Geum Ra Hee (Hwang Jung Eum) of assaulting her. When Chan Sung realizes this, he becomes enraged and chases Mo Ne from the house. But as it happens, Mo Ne had actually ordered her to take action in order to leave the house.
It appears that Chan Sung was acting out of love for the most part of the episodes. We subsequently discover, though, that he is not truly in love with Mo Ne and is not nearly as kind as he first appears to be. Viewers are wondering if Chan Sung ever truly loved Mo Ne and if he lost interest in her after learning of her terrible deeds that resulted in Da Mi’s death. Or was it just a pretense to get nearer to her and he never really loved her? It is reasonable to conclude that Chan Sung is carrying out all of this in order to exact revenge on Bang Da Mi (Jung Lael), but why? It would be unrealistic to believe that Chan Sung is unrelated to Da Mi’s retribution and has some other goal, given the dynamic nature of the K-drama’s plot.
Go Myoung Ji’s evil behavior toward No Han Na
Everyone has known from the first season that Go Myoung Ji is not a saint. She was one of the factors that led to Da Mi’s demise, therefore her character was never going to have a redemption story anyhow. But Myoung Ji has descended to a new low.
The adopted daughter of Han Bo Reum’s adoptive father, No Han Na (Shim Ji Yoo), has been residing with Myoung Ji and Yang Ji Moon (Yoon Jong Hoon) for the past few episodes. Jin Mo considers Han Na to be his daughter because he was friends with the late Paeng Hee. But Myoung Ji does not like that at all for an unknown reason.
As soon as Myoung Ji saw her fictitious husband Jin Mo tending to Han Na, her jealousy was immediately apparent. Not only is she unhealthily devoted to Jin Mo, but even though they are only temporarily married, she expects him to treat her children as if they were his own. She is enraged with Han Na since she has witnessed him be aloof from the Go siblings while loving toward her. Furthermore, Erica (Jung Seo Yeon), her daughter, is starting to feel the same animosity. Although Erica has never been a fan of Han Na, she is now actively attempting to harm her, and Myoung Ji is not taking any action to enlighten her. Since most people are not born evil, Erica’s nasty actions are a reflection of her mother’s bad nature. It is challenging to have an evil parent and not unintentionally adopt their ways as a child.
Geum Ra Hee’s positive character development
The plot was finally picking up steam in the first episode of “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection,” and it looked like Da Mi would have her comeuppance, which was something that fans enjoyed. However, the fact that Ra Hee was the one taking revenge on Da Mi was something that neither I nor the other viewers could ignore. Yes, the same Ra Hee who frequently deserted Da Mi and ultimately contributed to her demise.
Granted that all the characters in this play are villains, perhaps the requirements of “character development” are quite low, but recognition should go to the right people. Ra Hee is punishing the people who killed Da Mi, but she still hasn’t forgiven herself. She makes this apparent by adding her name to the list of “monsters who deserve to die.” All of the participants in Da Mi’s murder are included in this list. Although her character cannot be saved, her self-awareness is wonderful.
