Hyena: Episodes 13-14 Open Thread
by missvictrix
There are many trials in store for our leads this week, and they seem to be getting attacked from all sides. Loyalties are tested, trust is broken, jobs are lost, and hearts are revealed. It feels like a lot of moving parts, but Hyena has handled things quite competently from the start, and I’m kind of psyched for this final battle. Not that I’m ready to say goodbye yet, or anything.
EPISODES 13-14 WEECAP
After getting tipped off by Geum-ja (during that beautiful confession scene) that there was a plot to bring his father down, Hee-jae sets to work. We know he’s dedicated and smart and beginning to piece the ugly business dealings together, but he’s just not fast enough. His father seems crushed under the weight of what’s happened to him and before you know it the man is walking into traffic. Literally. What a horrible and heartbreaking thing to happen, and have our Hee-jae witness.
Luckily, he survives. This tragic turn of events also serves to bring our leads together even more, so that is a silver lining as well. Geum-ja is there at the hospital with Hee-jae, and in her wily way, helps him piece together the part of the puzzle that he’s struggling over. It’s sad (yet kinda noble too) that it’s his trust in Attorney Song that initially handicaps Hee-jae from seeing the truth. But now he’s onto him — and so is Geum-ja.
Speaking of Attorney Song, though, he’s in full baddie mode at this point. Or, more like, he was always a baddie, but we just saw him through Hee-jae’s trustful eyes at the beginning. Now we are seeing his true colors, and they are ugly. On top of scapegoating Hee-jae’s father and not feeling an ounce of emotion for this man’s life, Attorney Song is also ready to disbar Hee-jae and Geum-ja as well. We all knew he had a plan to use and lose Geum-ja, but baby Hee-jae? That’s just evil.
I’ve said before how fantastic Hyena is at bringing their moving parts together. Those cases that felt like they were a tiny bit random weeks ago? Not so. At this point in the drama, everything is getting pulled together for a vortex-like finale. Issume, Chairman Ha, his children, Kevin Jung (gag), the tax inheritance bill — all of it is linked, and Attorney Song is the puppeteer. And who’s just daring enough to see the puppets, their strings, and that very puppeteer? Our kickass heroine.
I already loved Geum-ja, but I especially loved her this week. Perhaps knowing she had to help and defend the man she loves (come on, we know it’s true!) brought out even more fight in her?
First, her father turns up again, and she fearlessly rakes him over the coals. Then, she pounces on Attorney Song during one of his business meetings, and later confronts him upfront in his office, cheekily sipping tea, threatening, slamming doors… it’s just great. Even her outfit has more fight in it in these scenes. She’s in sheer black tights, a short skirt, and a huge long leather coat (she reminds me of Trinity in The Matrix here and I love this parallel somehow).
Geum-ja is taking names, but that’s not to say Hee-jae doesn’t deserve some credit too. He’s under the weight of his father’s case, his father’s attempted suicide, the back stabbing by Attorney Song, and the prospect of losing everything that defined him at the start of this story — but he’s still not giving up the fight.
And speaking of that, I really am enjoying how the plot has taken Hee-jae from the self-assured and complacent place that he was at the beginning of the drama, and made him into a full-fledged hero. You know, the kind that doesn’t back down from a David versus Goliath fight, and the kind that puts truth above all.
Attorney Song’s next attack hits close to home: he has Hee-jae and Geum-ja investigated by the Korean Bar Association for what has become their dating and information-sharing scandal. He’s also anxious to boot them both the heck out of Song & Kim now that a) he doesn’t need them and b) they are basically mutineers to his dictatorship. Speaking of which, you’re fired.
Yep, Geum-ja and Hee-jae are unceremoniously fired via company-wide text message, and it’s pretty humiliating. But, what Attorney Song means for evil, works for good. Hee-jae and Geum-ja leave the office according to her advice: “stand tall and clear your office.”
It’s a lovely touch that when they’ve cleared the hallway of onlookers and are alone in the elevator, Geum-ja holds his hand to steady him. I loved this moment. And actually, I wish we had a few more of them to get us through the eruption of politics and sacrificial lambs that was this week’s episodes.
I think we all expected this glorious joining of forces between Hee-jae and Geum-ja before Hyena was over. What we didn’t expect (or at least I didn’t), was the team that was going to develop too. They brought a smile to my face again and again this week with their loyalty, PPL pretzels, and camaraderie right till the end. The fight is on, and our team is ready.
A final word on Attorney Ga: I’m a little disappointed in him. I really wanted to give him the benefit of the doubt (especially when Yumi insisted on their being loyal), but I ain’t seeing it yet.
Still, Jeon Suk-ho did a really nice job handling this development for his character — we can see how torn he is, and how much he hates himself for doing what he’s doing, and yet can’t put the brakes on it. Like Hee-jae, despite it all I still feel friendly towards him, and even sorry for him, so we’ll see if he pulls through in the end. Till next week!

Fighting the Big Bad TOGETHER is good and all, but when do I get JGJ-YHJ making out scenes? passionate love scenes followed by tender cuddling? domestic couple fluff scenes?
I know some of these are OC, but come on, throw us a bone here (and YHJ puppy as well), Show. It's hard to get through quarantine with only an imagination of these two getting it. We need these to be canon.

I just created my account. Been lurking on dramabeans for years and used to comment but never created a proper account.
I love this drama so much it’s getting me through this quarantine and the stresses of uni and work. I liked these episodes and love that everything is reaching a crescendo. Finally the downfall of song is swinging into gear. I’m sad that we’ve only got to more episodes left of this drama. I really hope everything can be tied together. I’m excited for what’s to come, especially how they will unravel the Ha chan go/Issume/tax act/ daddy Yoon conspiracy. My only gripe is that I hope they can fit in some swoon worthy moments in the final episodes.
Hope Friday rolls around quick.!

That final power strut got me all pumped up for the last week! Love it when a drama manages not only to avoid episode 12 slump, but on top of that to gather momentum for a cracktastic finale. And I just KNOW this show will give us a great finale: a face-off with JGJ's Dad, defending Heejae's Dad, getting junky Ha out of jail and bringing down Uncle Song's corruption network ...they've got a lot on their hands. And, please, Dramagods, instead of all those carbs everybody in the drama seem to be gobbling down - now, really, what's up with the food PPL? -, don't forget to give us more squee and fluff!

I have no clue what is going on with her father. But, it seems so many Korean dramas try to reconcile families in the end. So that makes me wonder if there is any possibility that the evil seeming man that is her father may have repented and might end up doing something that will benefit her rather than cause more pain. Right now he just seems to despicable for that, but who knows?

Oh my, so true on the 12th episode slump! I've been making a list of my watched kdrama including those that have been dropped. Most were dropped between episode 10-12 where we know that it should be the climax of conflicts for kdrama recipes. Hyena does not dissappoint at all, and in fact my current lockdown life revolves around getting to Friday for this power couple!

I have come here to appreciate the little snippets that stuck with me:
- How great was her long, enormous, billowing black leather coat?
- The phone call where she told him to "stand tall and clear your office" and his expression afterwards, soft, assured and confident
- When she touched his hand softly to ease the shaking
- Him telling his friend to just say sorry to ease his mind
- The ending of episode 13 - While it basically was a montage of scenes we have already seen and his husky voiceover from one of the previous episodes, it captured their story perfectly and gave such intensity to their parallel confessions of "we were in love". Oof.
And I too wish we had a few (...or a lot...) more of those moments of them together. But I'll take what I get at this point and cherish them all the more.

That costume is a stroke of genius! When she barged into Song's conspiratorial lunch in those gigantic leather shoulder pads, I was "what in Coco Chanel's name is she wearing?", but then I got to see the ensemble and it is the most fabulous non-cliche powersuit I've seen. What a silhuete! I really like this drama's costume design. Sometimes they come up with the most outlandish stuff - Hee-jae's exgirlfriend's leather dress made me laugh -, but it always fits and adds to the characters' personalities

Hee Jae's ex-girlfriend was wearing some kind of packing material? It looked like a cross of carton box and its wrapping tape, really uncomfortable, and the colour was...ummm... also interesting.
The power-suit-coat and accessories (golden and silver rings, those (!) legs) were so great. I admire Kim Hye-soo's ability to rock those plateau high heels week after week, it looks just effortless when she is strutting down the corridors or down the steps of the justice building in the last shot. I would topple over just trying to stand upright.

Ah, I forgot to mention the scene where Hee Jae carries his box with his name on top and Geum Ja has her box carried by her assistant (respect to whom respect is due) - walking down the corridor, it looked similar to a funeral procession while the colleagues payed their respects from their offices, but with heads held high. Reminded me a bit of Peggy Olson leaving her office in Mad Men, cigarette dangling from her mouth, not giving anything anymore to what they are leaving behind.

I'm so not ready to say goodbye to this show. I loved how naturalle Geum-ja and Hee-Jae after the confession in ep 12, they show their affection in simple, heartfelt gestures, the handhold, porridge, the drinks. I also loved that moment where they both hesitated to call each other 😍😍
As much as I want the team to win, I don't think I can bear it if Chan-ho is set free. I know the show is focused on the shady politics but we need justice, he is just as bad as Geum-ja's father in my eyes. Her father, can he just go away! Who is his *powerful* friend, please don't tell me it is Song?
Geum-ja's scenes with Song were amazing, I'm glad she is standing up for Seong hwa, Hee-Jae and his father. She is definitely getting to Song and I love the blatant disregard she has for his "authority". I think he underestimated the team a lot.
I bet Song called Hee-jae's father to say "I own you blah blah blah" and then he has the gall to be flipping through a magazine when he finds out about the accident.
During the parking lot scene, I was willing Hee-Jae to grab that plaque and smash it into Song's face. I guess his words had the same effect,
I'm not really sure how the political system works in S. Korea but there was something Lawyer Kim said about Song throwing away issume to stand for the blue house. Then the scapegoat politician announced he was standing, does he need to nominate Song to run?

I don’t think Song Pil Jung will run for President. He puts the politician on the run instead, so that if he wins, the Inheritance Law Bill will easily be passed. Attorney Song is like this mastermind who puts everyone in power, but in reality, he’s the one controlling them. He ditches Issume when he forms partnership with Kevin.

But being kingmaker is the perfect thing to be, isn't it?
(A) You can switch sides depending on which direction popular opinion is flowing.
(B) You have immense control over whom you have "made" king, so they will always be beholden to you, and ensure your demands are met.
(C) You can play the game in a way such that you are never on the losing side.
Who would want to be king if you can be way more powerful as kingmaker?

You know what hurts Hee-Jae the most - it’s one thing that Song used him and his father, But he didn’t show an ounce of empathy or affection or regret when he got into an accident. And Hee-Jae thought he was family. To realize that none of those moments meant anything would have hurt bad. JJH eyes said it all.
I think Song made many mistakes. He is now rushing into things and making mistakes. I didn’t expect him to throw Hee-Jae so soon. It didn’t make sense. He hadn’t really used his potential yet. I think he got desperate and is losing his composure, which was obvious during his confrontation with Kim.
Also, why do I have this feeling he tried to kill his wife and failed. That’s why she is in a coma now.

What if he planned to have her in a coma? If he had killed his wife, wouldn't there be more suspicion on him as the culprit, they could dig into the company, his files, find a motive.
If it is an accident and if his BFF's use their influence, he won't be suspected.

Agree about Chan Ho, I hope Geum Ja does not forget that the guy is an abuser too and that he gets to pay for it.
The humiliation Song felt when Geum Ja confirmed his intentions was enough for than having him hurt physically. Though a slap would be nice too.

Fast paced episodes but they seem to have sacrificed romance . Heejae has confessed couple of times but Geumja’s response is getting postponed/interrupted too much now . Or has he accepted it is one way street at this time .
Love or not, Geumja is the only one standing next to him when he is at lowest in life . I wish some of these scenes had more warmth like hand holding or hugs etc rather than abruptly flipping back to professional issues .
With so much to cover in next 2 eps, I wonder how they will cover the arc of Geumja catching up on her feelings . She is shown a hard nut and probably loyalty is her way of showing love but would love to see returning affection to Heejae for once.

Thanks for the super-quick and extremely well-written weecap, @missvictrix!
My two bits on what the endgame is going to be like: I think Attorney Ga is playing a game as well. Yu-mi's exhortation to him to "be loyal" was not in vain. I think we have been given only partial information about what transpired between him and Hee-jae. I think they've jointly plotted something bigger. Eventually, both Attorneys Ga and Bu will join the motley crew in the (new) Law Offices of Jung & Yoon, and fight evil together.
I want to see Geum-ja buy out that building, and I hope we get to see that eventually, after all her staring sessions, although I don't see how she will get the money for it still. Unless Song&Kim loses its reputation somehow and is forced to liquidate at rock bottom prices, and the only buyer in the market is JGJ.
Finally, I wanted to give a special shout out to the two psychedelic deer that make occasional cameos in the show - the full bodied one in the S&K lobby, and the bust version in Attorney Song's room. My gaze kept shifting to the deer every time those rooms were shown. It was a great loud choice for a showpiece, and such a fantastic contrast to the more baroque decor of the rest of the firm office.

😄🤭😆 The deers! I noticed the one in Song's office only.
You know what the means, right?! Rewatch all episodes again to find the lobby deer!😉😄

Haha! All the best in the deer hunt! It doesn't appear in this episode, but it's a giant 10-foot or so arresting sculpture of a deer in the lobby, in the same colors as the bust in Song's office.

Thank you for the fast weecap @missvictrix! I had to stop and watch ep 14 before reading this.
This show is just so satisfying and fun! I especially love how their team has joined them outside of S&K. Does anyone think that maybe lawyer Boo is staying their to spy for them?
I could go on and on - but everyone else has already said many things I liked.
As to Geum Ja admitting her feelings for Hee-jae, I think she has done that in so many ways other than saying it out loud.
So sad it's ending next week.

Is it bad that I want Guem Ja to say her feelings out loud? Like I want her to at least have the courtesy to tell him that she reciprocates his feelings

I don’t think she is there yet. Or may be she will never do such things.
He notices that she is not pushing him away. Not anymore.
She has done things that are very unlike her. She told him she cares. She went to see him in the hospital. She got him food and chided him for not eating well. She comforted him when she saw him on the stairwell. She held his hands when they were shaking. He hasn’t failed to notice any of these.
I don’t need her to say anything. Not yet. It may take years for her to open up. I believe these two will learn to love and trust together.

I mean I know that she isn't there yet and she isn't the kind of person to talk about her feelings but the drama fan in me desperately wishes for something like this. Can't help it I guess

I agree with @mayhemf
Guem ja is an action gal. Her actions are telling Hee-Jae that she does care about him.

No of course it isn't bad to want her to express her feelings. But as we've seen she carries her feelings very close to her chest until the time is right. But she is 'showing' him all over the place.
But like you I'm looking forward to when she lets her guard down and finally admits that she loves him.

At the very least, Hee-jae could read the transcript of their hearing where Geum-ja straight up said she'd been in love.

Yeah, I think GeumJa's major love language is services where you do something rather for your loved ones. Proven on what she has done for Jieun and her childhood friend, JuHoo. Contrasting to HeeJae whose love language is poetry of words since he has been demanding declaration of love from GeumJa. Whatever it is, they complete each other.
Am waiting for this series to finish so I can complete my list of their flirting remarks and the corresponding answers and actions from both of them afterwards. A beautiful and coherent scriptwriting, to say the least.....so far.

I think I missed the back story part. I was watching it on fast forward while hiding under the covers (My mom's would have killed me) so I didn't watch everything per se. What was her back story?

GeumJa 'took her in' after her mom stole the housemates' money; leaving Jieun and her siblings behind. I can only imagine what kind of neighbourhood Jieun lived before.
That scene was in ep 13 circa min 35.

These two episodes were so gooood!
So many great moments. I loved how Geum-ja showed her support for Hee-jae. Also, how their team came together. The scene of all of them entering the court room and then walking down the stairs was so badass!😎
My one concern is that with only two episodes left, there might not be enough time to wrap the cases with a satisfying conclusion. We need more episodes!

My favorite part of episode 14
Yoon Hee Jae: “I need you” *sexy gaze to JGJ*
I understood: I need your support, your strength, your smarts, your warmth, your sexy body 😍
GJG understood: “To help with your your dad’s case” 😩🤦🏾♀️
YHJ: “ That’s not the only reason”
YHJ, I stand with you! GJG will wake up to the reality that you belong together and we will all be rewarded with smoldering sexy scenes. My imagination is getting overwhelmed 🤯
Thanks for the recap missvictrix😊

5. Geum Ja being there for Hee Jae and literally everything the Geum Ja did for Hee Jae in this week's episodes. My goodness, what a woman! 🙌🙌🙌

Is there Hyena fanfiction out there somewhere? I honestly believe it is essential to my wellbeing after the show ends. Seriously.

Not quite “fan fiction” but this feed in particular has lots of great GIFs and hilarious #tags for our favorite Power Couple.
If you have a tumblr account, it’s a delight to scan all the thirsty, thirsty search results.

These will get me through till Friday! But Something just clicked while reading ALL the commentary (yes Il’m addicted). So in episode 6, JGJ invited YHJ to come into her world sarcastically. This was when they were still enemies not quite frenemies. Well, we get to see the story come full circle because now YHJ has done exactly that. I’ve rewatched this show so many while waiting for episodes but I missed that. The writers have done an excellent job of piecing together the themes throughout the show. I can’t wait to go back rewatch and find more connections I missed because I was distracted by their sexual tension and smoking chemistry 😅

I've got to admit this is the best drama i've ever seen , either the acting of the main leads, the chemistry, the scripwriting and directing all are top notch. This is the only drama that before it ended i've been keep watching replay two to four times. I'm addicted. Kim hye soo is flawlessly beautiful and amazing in potraying geum ja (honestly cant imagine if song hye kyo accept the role she cant potray as powerful as now), and ju ji hoon can manage to catch up to her. They are perfectly match as they both also perfectionist. Im praying for extention or season 2, i cant accept the fact that its almost finish, still need more of the courtroom cases.

Love episode 13/14 especially when JGJ and YHJ joined forces finally. They are pretty much an unstoppable legal team. Total power couple goals. I also liked that they realize what they had was real.. it was never fake. I was thrilled when Mr. Ha saw JGJ and YHJ show up at his trial, you can practically see the relief on his face when they said they were pursuing the re-trial. My only problem was the pretzels. Nobody eats this much dang Auntie Anne's.. lol if they eat one more pretzel I will scream.

Please may I know,which is the brand of coffee that Geum-ja makes in the show which is black but has some milky white color (such a combination is not so easily available here in India) as well after it is made. Thank you so much.
