It was seriously agonizing waiting for episode 7 for a whole week, that cliffhanger left me reeling for more and I did not want to wait that long. It's the kind of suspense that keeps you up at night, pondering over every detail, theorizing about what will happen next.
Episode 7 starts right back in the photobooth where in order not to be discovered they share a cute kiss which deepens their feelings towards each other, as well showcasing their tantalizing chemistry. It also shows that Gu Won starts to lose his power slowly.
The episode also takes a poignant turn as it unveils the backstory between Gu Won and Jin Ga-yeong. Their relationship is painted with a blend of parental and savior-like undertones, evoking a sense of empathy for Ga-yeong. It's a touching yet heartrending revelation, especially as she grapples with the reality of Gu Won drifting towards another.
A particularly endearing moment is when we see Do Hee conversing with an imaginary Madam Ju. In these imaginary dialogues, she candidly vents about the quirks and challenges of her faux-marriage with Gu Won. This adds a sweet, humorous layer to their complex dynamic. However, the episode takes a sharp, suspenseful turn when Gu Won is unexpectedly stabbed by a creepy assailant, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.

This leads to Do Hee, after much contemplation and a conversation with Seok-hoon, to withdraw her candidacy for Chairperson.
