The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection (2024) K Drama Episode 4

Episode 4 of The Escape of The Seven: Resurrection starts with K and his minions trying hard to find Han-na, but Do-hyuk hacks into the Children’s Home website and sends them false pins. The police run around in circles, and the public is in uproar, but K finally finds a pin leading to his vacation home. He rushes to the location, and inside, he sees who he thinks is Lee Hwi-so, but it is Do-hyuk wearing Lee Hwi-so’s mask.

K is convinced that Lee Hwi-so is back and believes there is nothing Lee Hwi-so can do about it. Do-hyuk sends the police to K’s location and knocks him out using gas. 

Meanwhile, La-hui, Ju-ran, and Chul-woo rush to the vacation house, where they meet with Ki-tak. They are surprised to see him alive, and he says that he is back to take TIKITAKA. Ki-tak tells them their fake hero is locked inside, and the police are on their way, so they rush in to help K out. They pry the doors open just as K tells them about Lee Hwi-so and Do-hyuk working together.

K is furious, learning that Ki-tak is alive, but there isn’t enough time to get out before the police arrive. Therefore, they fake an ambush and tell the police that Jun-seok escaped with Mo-ne. Do-hyuk saves Han-na, and the media applaud him as a hero. He ensures everyone sees Han-na’s face to protect her from K.

Jin-mo rushes to see Han-na at the hospital, and his minions figure out that Do-hyuk is eager to save Han-na because she is Jun-seok’s daughter, and her existence threatens his fake identity.

Meanwhile, Chan-sung is in awe of Do-hyuk’s plans, so he tells his assistant to back him up by plastering articles all over Save’s media talking about Do-hyuk as the new hero and K as the fallen hero. At the hospital, Jin-mo confronts Do-hyuk, wanting to see Han-na, and he tells Do-hyuk not to go after K since he has become more assertive. Jin-mo’s words do not faze Do-hyuk, but he is moved when Han-na runs into Jin-mo’s hands after her checkup.

K worries that Lee Hwi-so will access Luca, so he orders it to log out of all platforms. He says that to protect Luca, he needs Save’s security program, and we learn that K did not kill Mo-ne because he needed her to get to Chan-sung. La-hui talks to Mo-ne and figures out that her mother is the most important person in her life.

The minions arrive at K’s house, and he brings out Mo-ne as a warning of what will happen if any of them try to betray him. he orders them to find Lee Hwi-so, and after they leave, K and La-hui have a silent understanding of who will take the fall for him and die as Jun-seok. K releases Mo-ne from the torture chamber and places her under La-hui with the orders to steal Save’s security program. Meanwhile, he gives a reward of ten million dollars to anyone who finds Jun-seok. 

Elsewhere, Do-hyuk wonders why Medusa has not called him for a while and wonders who they are. Meanwhile, Mo-ne’s mother leaves Do-hyuk’s hideout, thanking him for caring for her. She says she will go away so she does not cause problems for Mo-ne and Han-na.

Do-hyuk and Ki-tak worry that K will get to her, so they rush to find her. At the same time, Mo-ne leaves for a meeting with Chan-sung when she sees her mother lurking outside her house. She blames her mother for what happened since she made the call. Mo-ne’s mother looks at her daughter, drives away one last time, and leaves. 

During the meeting, Chan-sung asks Mo-ne about her mother, and for the first time, Mo-ne tells the truth about her fake identity and how she pushed her mother away to ensure she kept her luxurious life. In the process, we get a background into Mo-ne’s life before she became famous. Chan-sung is speechless after Mo-ne pours out her heart to him, and he abruptly leaves.

Consequently, K calls Mo-ne’s brother and sweet-talk him into believing he cares for his mother. He tells Mo-ne’s brother to call him when his mother calls, and K will help keep her safe. La-hui calls Mo-ne to ask why Chan-sung left suddenly, and we see she has sent someone to monitor Mo-ne.

Mo-ne’s mother borrows a phone to call Chung-soo, and he tells her to meet outside Kyung-soo’s apartment. While she waits, Kyung-soo passes by with his girlfriend, Yu-jin, and pretends he does not know his mother when she criticises her for being poor and shabby. However, after they get to the apartment, Kyung-soo asks for a beer and runs outside to look for his mother, who has already left.

At the same time, Chung-soo finds her at the bus stop, gets her inside the car, and calls K, who sends him a location. Do-hyuk and Ki-tak are hysterically running around looking for Mo-ne’s mother.

When Mo-ne arrives home, she does not find La-hui and pricks her finger when removing the earrings. She worries about her mother and tries sending Do-hyuk a text asking him to see her mother.

Meanwhile, Chung-soo takes his mother to the given location, and as instructed, he gives her a sleeping pill. K kills Chung-soo, making it look like a suicide, and paints his nails to look like Jun-seok. Soon after, Jin-mo, Myoung-ji, Ju-ran, and Chul-woo arrive, and La-hui instructs them to push the car into the cliff below. Chul-woo is supposed to fake the evidence to make it match Jun-seok. 

Do-hyuk heads out to the cliff to check the body and see who K killed this time. Ki-tak tries to stop him, but his mind is made up, so he follows him. Mo-ne wakes up to the news that Jun-seok’s latest victim is her mother, and she is shattered, unable to walk but just crawling and wailing outside in the rain.

Do-hyuk gets a call from Medusa, and he is devastated because he realises that the person knew what Mathew would do, but they never stopped him. Mo-ne’s brother, kyung-soo, cries out for his mother in pain as he watches her be taken away, and Do-hyuk loses his cool when he sees K watching from above the cliff, laughing at the scene below. Ki-tak holds him back and tells him to remember that their mission is for Lee Hwi-so. 

During the funeral, Kyung-soo causes a scene blaming his mother’s death on Mo-ne, who does not show up. He runs into Do-hyuk outside, who tells him that the person responsible for his mother and brother’s death is K. During the commotion, Do-hyuk sends flowers to the wake and signs in as Lee Hwi-so. La-hui silently applauds Do-hyuk’s work on keeping K on his toes but still wants him to remember that La-hui is also responsible for Da-mi’s death.

Han Mo-ne is a shell of her former self as she is depressed and heartbroken with grief. She thinks about La-hui’s words and wonders whether the one responsible for her mother’s death is La-hui or K. Suddenly, she walks out of the house, but her pitiful state makes Do-hyuk want to step out and help her, but Chan-sung beats him to it. Mo-ne faints in his arms, and he rushes her to the hospital. When she comes, Mo-ne wants to rush to see her mother, but Chan-sung stops her. He hugs her passionately and asks her to use him as her puppet and try everything she wants. 

The next scene explains Chan-sung’s interest in Mo-ne; he knew her before becoming famous. Mo-en is making food delivery for her mother when some boys attack her, and he saves her. When she wants to pay him, he says he will collect the payment when she becomes famous. A few years later, Chan-sung sees Han Mo-ne with Jun-seok at a hotel. In the final scene, Mo-ne marries Chan-suk and vows that her life will be focused on killing Geum La-hui.

An extra scene after the credits shows that the woman found in the car is not Mo-ne’s mother because La-hui saved her and put an unclaimed female body in the car. 

The Episode Review

The episode explains the riddle of Chan-sung’s role in the series, and we see that he also has a personal vendetta against Jun-seok. The only thing puzzling is how much he knows about the scenario in season 1 and how far he is willing to go to expose K.

The episode gives the villains behind Da-mi’s death a background that makes the viewers feel they deserve a second chance. It brings about conflicting feelings, and Do-hyuk does a fantastic job portraying our feelings when he becomes humane and wants to comfort Mo-ne. He gets emotional when he witnesses Jin-mo’s interaction with Han-na.

Do you think Do-hyuk will get soft and concentrate his revenge only on K? Do you think Jin-mo, Myoung-ji, Ju-ran, Chul-woo, Mo-ne, and La-hui deserve a second chance?
