As one side strikes, how will the opposing side react.... We start off with the reunion between Jung Hee and Young Dal. Jung Hee approaches him and ask a few questions. He tells her he had things to take care. Disheartened, Jung Hee asks if he really had no time to just give her a call. Young Dal confesses that he wasn't sure if he should call or not because he wasn't confident about changing his life around. Jung Hee feels discouraged and lashes out about how she waited for him for a year. As she walks away, Young Dal stops her to tell her how much he missed and thought of her.

This episode marks the halfway point of the series. Things just keep turning around and around again. Young Dal goes into his meeting with Man Bok with an agenda. He strikes a deal with him - he'll get all of Man Bok's money returned within 1 year of his release. In the case that he can't, Man Bok can do anything with his life. Man Bok is amused. He agrees with this deal, but warns Young Dal he will chase him down and kill him with his bare hands if he fails. They end the meeting without any beatings.

When you're at the bottom, the only way is up supposedly. Young Dal is being escorted to his cell. Once inside, he introduces himself and shares his prior record as a youth and adult. The inmates take this as him trying to scare the others. A fight ensues between Young Dal and two inmates with Young Dal with the upper hand. The others watch on with fearful looks. After the scuffle, Young Dal apologizes to the eldest inmate in the cell and sits away from the group. Later that night, we see Young Dal wide awake as the others are sound asleep.

The stakes are getting higher as the war wages on. The game begins. Young Dal's plan is lose first to ward off suspicions before really beginning after the cards are switched out.

Episode 9 is chuck full of orders, schemes, and a pinch of reunion as the story line gets underway. Young Dal has successfully pulled a fast one on the underground casino. To celebrate, he takes out Jung Hee to a fancy restaurant outside of Sabuk. During dinner, Young Dal makes a confession of sorts. He starts off by thanking her for spending time with him despite his reputation. He says he realizes the shameful life he has been leading after meeting her. Instead of being shameful of his life, he tells her he is making changes. Jung Hee is quietly looking on while listening to his confession. When they return home, Jung Hee tells Young Dal that he is no different from her and that he shouldn't be embarrassed around her. Both head in with smiles on their faces, especially Young Dal who is seen cheesing it up in his room long after the conversation is over.

Episode Title: "You Are My Bom (Spring)" We start the episode off checking in with the missing members, Dongwook and Kang Joon through phone calls. Both are away on set of their respective dramas. I found it funny how Se Ho mentions to Dongwook that he is lying in Dongwook's bed while making this call. They chat a bit about visiting the set and Dongwook ends the call with "get off of my bed." Minwoo and Nana make a video call to Kang Joon, which coincidentally gets cut off after Nana tells him how she misses him. Once they get back in contact with him, everyone has a round of conversations with Kang Joon, where he tells the ladies to not cry while he is away.
