… Wait. Are… are Gang Ok and Ji Yong gonna be outsmarted by Awls, of all people!?
That aside, isn't it just amazing how the main characters use each other in such a dynamic way, cutting wordless deals and giving each other hints that are always correctly interpreted and acted on by the receiver? Like, Jo Heon knew how Mi Ryeo would act, she knew he knew, and Ji Yong knows what they both intended, and… it's mind-boggling, and very well done.
So I'm guessing Ji Yong knows the phone would be put under surveillance, and might have just framed Gang Ok for good. Just that I don't think he wants Gang Ok gone now, he's even started to rely on our favourite billionaire psycho a little.
As for Awls and Easy Squeezy… I can't shake off the feeling that they had been intended by the author as minor characters, but grew lives of their own by their excellent comedic chemistry and were promoted to major players.
