‘Check In Hanyang’ Kim Ji-eun creates a gambling house in the Joseon Dynasty hotel Yongcheonru.

At the end of episode 7 of Channel A‘s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Check In Hanyang’ (written by Park Hyun-jin/directed by Myung Hyun-woo, Noh Kyu-yeop) that aired on January 11, Hong Deok-soo (played by Kim Ji-eun), who was released from the Police Station, declared in front of Cheon Bang-joo (played by Kim Eui-sung) and Seol Mae-hwa (played by Kim Min-jung) that she would prove her qualifications to remain in Yongcheonru. Hong Deok-soo also declared war to Seol Mae-hwa, who reported him, saying, “I will never run away”, adding to the tension.

The trailer for episode 8 that was released along with this piqued curiosity by unfolding the story of Hong Deok-soo creating a gambling house in Yongcheonru. Unlike the Ha Oh-na quartet who have become official servants, Hong Deok-soo still has to prove his qualifications. To do this, the method he chose was to build a gambling house.

On the 12th, ahead of the broadcast of the 8th episode, ‘Check In Hanyang’ released still cuts capturing the appearance of the four Ha-onas helping Hong Deok-soo in different ways. First, Hong Deok-soo is diligently writing down something he sees and working hard to build a gambling house. Hong Deok-soo’s quite serious look in his eyes makes us curious about what he is writing.

Lee Eun-ho (played by Bae In-hyeok) introduces his bodyguard Beom-ho (played by Bae Jae-won) to Hong Deok-soo by bringing him to Yongcheonru. Beom-ho‘s appearance, wearing sunglasses and dressed in a completely different way than usual, makes viewers curious about what role he will play at Yongcheonru.

Chun Jun-hwa (played by Jung Gun-joo), who is trying to get closer to Hong Deok-soo, is right next to Hong Deok-soo and helping him. He takes his work seriously as if it were his own work as Hong Deok-soo’s best friend and a tough guy.

Will Hong Deok-soo be able to build a gambling house safely with the help of his friends? Episode 8 of Channel A‘s weekend drama ‘Check In Hanyang’, which will show this, will air today (the 12th) at 9:10 p.m. on Sunday.
