[mslee's thoughts] Punch Episode 14 Screen caps Review

From the moment the bond broke between Lee Tae Joon and Park Jung Hwan, the fight started and becomes messy. With Yoon Ji Sook also joining forces with Lee Tae Joon, Park Jung Hwan and Shin Ha Gyung found themselves cornered at every turn. Opportunities that should have been favorable for them became escape goats for these power grabbers. Lee Ho Sung has become the man who will sink so low as to be an accomplice in making a child like Ye Rin be on a front page of news headlines.

Now the divorced husband and wife have tightened their hold on each other's hands. They are moving forward to fight the two most powerful and corrupt officials in the land. A greedy Prosecutor and an ambitious Minister of Justice.

The fraud military case against Yoon Ji Sook should have stopped her from her track. 

Episode 14

Park Jung Hwan will submit himself to another investigation about the 27 billion bribery money that he was supposed to have had and where it all went to. It was not his alone but Lee Tae Joon's money that was used in his behalf to bribe electoral officials. His confession should be enough evidence but they badly need documents that would prove his allegations against Tae Joon. Shin Ha Gyung is doing everything to handle the case or turn over the case to an independent body such as private lawyers.

But then, Park Jung Hwan loves his daughter very much he is again willing to sacrifice for her as to stamp his own seal and thumb on the documents that listed where the money was spent. The Park Jung Hwan Gate already started. Tae Joon promised him to release his hold on both Ha Gyung and Ye Rin for old times sakes.

I want to believe that Lee Tae Joon will always have a soft spot in his heart for Park Jung Hwan. He is the sentimentalist type of man and they do have 7 years of tight bond as sunbae/hoobae. It is just that Lee Tae Joon is so afraid to lose his power and seat that he is grabbing onto anything even Jung Hwan's neck to survive. But at every turn, he is there willing to negotiate.

But as for Jung Hwan, it's all about taking opportunities. He may be saying one thing in front of Tae Joon but he is also issuing orders for Ha Gyun to proceed at any means to obtain evidences. With Jung Hwan's seal on the paper, he was ushered by Lee Tae Joon's men to be confined at a hospital, heavily guarded until his trial begins. Lee Tae Joon is determined to end this scandal with only Jung Hwan's name in the headlines. 

Well, the Queen of Reversal, yes, Yoon Ji Sook has chosen to walk the path of deceit and greediness to stay in power, has thought of how to manipulate the list of names in the military fraud case. Lee Ho Sung will threatened the the doctor who took care of the man who hid the documents. His son was arrested to make it look like that he told his dying father to add the name of Yoon Ji Sook's son in the list.

Yoon Ji Sook belongs to the upper class in society. Her family has ties with those who occupied the highest positions in the government. She visited them one by one as a long time friend and asked help from them to stop the case.

Lee Tae Joon could not even grasped how powerful Yoon Ji Sook is. These old men were all his mentors and even if he is seating at the Prosecutors chair, he feels uncomfortable with these men around.

While Lee Tae Joon wanted Park Jung Hwan be questioned by the prosecutors, Jung Gook Hyun asked the Chief of Staff to turn the case to a private lawyer. Tae Joon is feeling the pressure. He will be investigated if this push through and that is what he does not want to happen. Tae Joon was caught by media meeting Jung Hwan and looked like they are accomplice.

Thanks to this woman who is in love with Park Jung Hwan, Prosecutor Choi who tipped off the media and update them on what's going on behind closed doors of the investigations office.

I love the father and daughter moments. Finally, Jung Hwan admitted that it is better for Ye Rin to follow her mother's footsteps. He realized that his principles in life won't save Ye Rin but will only make her life hard.

And I thought I had seen the last of Jo Kang Jae! Well, he is back as a private attorney. He even offered himself to Tae Joon to get the case to make Jung Hwan's lips closed. He went ahead to visit Jung Hwan's mother and le her sign the consent as Jung Hwan's attorney.

Who is the most despicable person for Park Jung Hwan?

It could be Yoon Ji Sook but somehow he could not let Lee Tae Joon off the hook if he will choose only one. While eavesdropping on call dialed by Prosecutor Choi, he realized that in order to get Yoon Ji Sook, he must first get Tae Joon. Because Tae Joon holds the chip in his hands, a sure way of making Yoo Ji Sook fall if one betrays the other.

Yoon Ji Sook's name was cleared after the list of military fraud case was testified as fake. She is back and what's astonishing, she will be a private attorney that could possibly handle Park Jung Hwan's case. Another compromise between Lee Tae Joon and Yoon Ji Sook has been done. They are out to get Jung Hwan to stay alive.

It begins to be tiring for Ha Gyung but Jung Hwan is not backing off. He will see it to the very end.

The story keeps on turning and turning favorably for the villains. Yes, it is tiring but the pressure is getting intense. They just need one hard evidence and like a domino, that evidence will topple the great Lee Tae Joon and Yoon Ji Sook together in one shot. It is what Park Jung Hwan is waiting for. That elusive opportunity and fate that they hope and wish will favor them soon.
