The Stray Email

Raphael rushes over to the restaurant and asks her about her first kiss with Woori on a trip on the East coast. Gang-Jay remains speechless during the whole meal.

Gwi-Nyeo walks in on her husband, Sung-Il, and his mistress, Eun-Ran, kissing. Eun-Ran then admits that she is the father which angers Gwi-Nyeo. Eun-Ran also tells her mother she doesn’t know how to tell Woori since she has lived all her life believing her father is dead. ..

Raphael is surprised when his father tells him that he has appointed Byeon-Jin as the new CEO and Raphael will now be the executive managing director, because of what happened during the event.

We learn that Byeon-Jin used to go out with Mi-Ra but she broke up with him when she met Raphael and realised who he was.

While out shopping, Woori and Eun-Ran discuss how difficult the situation must be for Gang-Jay. Woori later takes lunch to Gang-Jay and almost gets a little too close to him, making her feel very flustered. She later mentions this to Ye-Ri who gives her some seduction tips.

Gang-Jay returns to the hospital and tells Mi-Ra he changed his mind about the evidence he has gathered about her. She is now summoned to the police station. Gang-Jay then decides to go look through the garbage and finds the hard drive with video footage of the lift where the murder occurred.

Gang-Jay reflects on his old partner’s family and how he lost him. He blames himself for letting him go first in a building while they were investigation Chairman Kim.

Woori suggests they go back to his place for dinner because she has some tips for him that she thinks will work. However, Gang-Jay is not interested in following her advice and does not understand why she is doing all of it.

Raphael apologizes to Woori for putting her on the spot about their first meeting. He then asks her to write an introductory piece for the hospital. Woori then sees Sung-Il who acts overfriendly with her and asks for a selfie.

Mi-Ra meets Byeon-Jin in a bar and asks what his plan is. He explains that he has been working on a plan to take over the Chinese cosmetic hospital, Diamond hospital, and if he can get their shares then the foundation director and Raphael will be disposed of. Unbeknownst to them, Raphael is watching from afar. ..

Sung-Il visits Gwi-Nyeo and her friends at a community center. Everyone is very welcoming to him, and they talk privately about Eun-Ran. Sung-Il explains that he didn’t know she had kept the baby, but now he wants to be a part of their lives and be a father to Woori. ..

Woori decides to write a sexy letter to Gang-Jay. Suddenly she gets a call from Raphael asking her to send him the hospital article. Unfortunately, she gets mixed up and sends him the sexy letter instead.

In the morning, Gang-Jay calls Woori asking if she read the email she sent him. Gang-Jay seems very confused and tells her that he doesn’t know much about this field and is not sure how he can help. Woori is confused and wonders if he has problems. She then realizes she sent him the wrong email when he mentions the hospital.

Raphael tells Woori that he already opened her email and that she probably sent it by mistake. Raphael smiles and tells her he knows she did.

Woori tells Gang-Jay how happy she has been with him and how much she loves him. She then suggests that they sleep together. Gang-Jay looks at her and suggests that they eat at the Chinese restaurant in the hotel he mentioned before then they will leave after breakfast. ..

Woori was leaving work and saw Sung-Il waiting for her. They sat down and he asked about her father. She told him that he died when she was little but the word “dad” never existed in her house as it always made her mother upset. Sung-Il got very emotional listening to her and left quickly after. ..

Woori and Gang-Jay had dinner in the hotel and then went into their room. Things were a little awkward in the room, especially when they were each interrupted by a call from Raphael, followed by the fire alarm. Gang-Jay thought they were all signs and thought they should both go home and wait until they were married. Woori agreed and headed home with the good news. ..

The next day, at the police station, the hard drive has been analyzed and it is revealed that a nurse called Shin Mi-Young is the one who murdered Noh Man Chol. However, they are not sure she is chairman Kim as her employment period doesn’t match with Chairman Kim’s active period.

Raphael impresses his father when he tells him that the Chinese CEO is on video call. The Chinese CEO tells them he was impressed by the introductory letter he received and has agreed to buy their products. After the call, the chairman fires Byeon-Jin and reinstates Raphael as CEO.

Mi-Ra thanks Raphael for revealing what Byeon-Jin’s plan was. Thanks to her information, he was able to remove him from the hospital. However, he serves her with divorce papers again because he found out that she cheated on him and he wants to protect his child. ..

Sung-Il called Eun-Ran and accidentally told her that Woori was getting married. Sung-Il was surprised and determined to walk Woori down the aisle. ..

Meanwhile, at the restaurant, Raphael arrives to tell the family that he is getting a divorce but promises to give the baby the best life. Suddenly, Sung-Il arrives too and blurts out to Woori that he is her father. Woori is shocked and confused by this news. ..

The Episode Review

The characters in Woori The Virgin are growing on me more and more, even though they’re not as charismatic and extravagant (Rogelio) as in the original. I’m looking forward to seeing where the show will take them next. ..

The only thing I can say about the current state of the show is that it lacks chemistry between Woori and Raphael, which was present very early on in the American version. But it’s still early days.

There was also a fun little meta nod to Jane the Virgin here too. When Woori and Eun-Ran talk about how Gang-Jay must be dealing with the situation, Eun-Ran says: “It’s not like we’re some Michael and Jane living in Florida”. This refers, of course, to their characters counterpart in Jane the Virgin. ..

For any Jane The Virgin fans, it can be difficult not to compare the two but for now, Woori The Virgin remains a watch with plenty of potential for the future episodes.
