Here’s this week’s report on the Sunday Korean drama.

- 春のワルツ
Finally Philip (poor Philip) tells The Onion the truth about お兄さん. Far from being a cold hearted monster who left her alone after her surgery as a kid, it was he who actually saved her life. He allowed himself to be ‘adopted’ with the condition his new parents would fund the surgery. Later, he was told by them a little white lie - that she died during surgery.

After finding out the truth, The Onion decides she loves チェハ and all is honky dory - so it seems.

However, いじわるババ２’s reporter friend spills the beans and the rumors of who チェハ really is spread quickly.

The episode ends with a reporter at the press conference (記者会見) asking, “Are you ユン・ジェハ or are you イ・スホ?” He answers with, 「すべて話します。私は。。。」 and the teasers for next week begin.

- 喰いタン
In further developments, the actor who plays the lead in the サラリーマンNEO skit 大いなる新人 was in a comedy/drama called 喰いタン - The Eating Detective.

This is the description from Wikipedia’s entry on サラリーマンNEO about 大いなる新人 (the great new guy):

大いなる新人
大学を出たばかりの新入社員で22歳にもかかわらず、どうみても部長クラスにしか見えない老けた風貌を持ち、その風貌を利用して、時として尊大な態度をとりながらも妙に周囲に気に入られていく早川辰夫（平泉）と、それに振り回され、困惑する部長（生瀬）、研修講師（中山）の様子が描かれる。

The story is about a 22 year old just out of college who enters a company. The problem is he doesn’t look 22. In fact he looks more like 60. He has the appearance of a 部長 (buchou head of a department) and not a new employee. This 22 year old uses his looks and demeanor to ’save the day.’

大いなる新人 is great. Here is a clip:
