Han Groo and Park Ri-won had a tense standoff.

In episode 8 of KBS2‘s daily drama ‘Cinderella Game’ (directed by Lee Hyun-kyung / written by Oh Sang-hee) aired on the 11th, Yoon Se-young (played by Park Ri-won) slapped Goo Ha-na (played by Han Groo) to express her anger.

In the broadcast that day, Hana went to the restaurant where Hwang Jin-goo (played by Choi Sang) was to ask him to correct an article that said she had introduced customers, but an important foreign investor who was Jin-goo’s client had to leave because the food did not suit his taste.

Not only that, Hana was slapped by Se-young who mistook her for an industrial spy. Hana was worried that her younger sister Goo Ji-eun (played by Kim Ji-sung), who works at Hyesung Group, would be harmed because of her, so she struggled to find out why the food did not suit the tastes of the foreign customers. Fortunately, she found out the reason and made a lunch box with her heart for the investor. With one effort, the construction project went smoothly, bringing relief to viewers.

After entering the country, Goo Ji-seok (played by Kwon Do-hyung) met Ji-eun and Goo Ji-chang (played by Park Chang-hoon) at Hyesung Hotel, except for Hana. Ji-chang exploded at Ji-seok‘s suggestion to move out of Hana’s house and live with him, saying, “Are you trying to tear me and my eldest sister apart right now?” In response, Ji-seok calmly replied, “He‘s not related to us by blood,” thereby maintaining a consistent, calm attitude and building tension.

At the end of the broadcast, Se-young was disappointed to hear that someone other than Jin-goo had been chosen for the position of general manager at a meal with Shin Yeo-jin (played by Na Young-hee) and Jin-goo. Then, Yeo-jin introduced the general manager to the seat and was shocked to learn that the main character was her ex-boyfriend Ji-seok, making her curious about the next episode.

The 9th episode of KBS 2TV’s daily drama ‘Cinderella Game’ will air on the 12th (today) at 7:50 PM.
