"Where Stars Land" drama: Episode's two and three mini recaps





 Air Dates: October 1 to November 26, 2018 Monday and Tuesdays at 10:00 pm on SBS
This episode's rating: 5.9%

Main Cast: The action takes place at the Incheon International Airport located right outside of Seoul. T1 will refer to terminal one, T2 will mean terminal two.

Chae Soo-Bin as Han Yeo-Reom.... She's been employed at the airport for a year but has constantly messed up at her positions due to fighting and swearing. She's given one more chance as she was transferred from the Transportation Department to the Passenger Service Team. There she's still very prone to mistakes but is getting better at her job thanks to Su-Yeon.

Lee Je-Hoon as Lee Su-Yeon.... Has only been at the airport for three months but is already the mentor for Yeo-Reom. Like her and the rest of his team in episode three they were all relocated to T2. Su-Yeon has an extremely powerful right arm which is a fake one as he lost the original one in a motorcycle accident many years before.

Kim Ji-Soo as Yang Seo-Koon.... Manager of the Passenger Service Team who seems to be disliked by many of the staff at the airport. She is a very strict supervisor but she'll also stand up for any of her team and was the only person to know about Su-Yeon's past.

Ahn Song-Woo as Gong Seung-Cheol.... Yang's assistant who is a real 'ass-kisser', he's not what you would call a 'stand up person' and really despises Yeo-Reom.

Lee Dong-Gun as Seo In-Woo.... Not much is known about him through three shows. He's recently come back after helping out constructing another airport. He's the new head for Planning and Development at T2, Seo has mysterious past with both Yang and Su-Yeon.

Jang Hyun-Sung as Kwon Hee-Seung.... Insufferable Director of the entire Terminal 2.

Lee Sung-Wook as Choi Moo-Ja.... Director of security at T2, he's trying to recruit Su-Yeon for his team.

Ro Woon as Ko Eun-Sub.... Yeo-Reom's best friend though we don't know much about him.

Kim Kyung-Nam as Oh Dae-Ki.... Male security guard at T2.

Lee Soo-Kyung as Na Young-Joo.... Oh's female partner and very aggressive.

 Wrote about half of the recap for episode one up and while doing so is when I changed my mind about doing the entire series. Talked about the reasons why in the above post so not going to repeat myself save for the fact these long Korean dramas just take up too much of my time to view and recap, the estimate was about 35 hours. So what I'm going to do because I took so many screenshots is post the ones of Soo-Bin's character along with a few details of what happened. Will have a brief overview for episode two and following their screenshots will be the same for the third show. Am going to finish this drama but still unsure whether anything about it will be included in upcoming Soo-Bin posts, her character's name is Yeo-Reom




 Every episode will feature at least one major incident at the Incheon airport and of course Yeo-Reom will be caught in the middle of them. First development was that a bomb threat had been sent into the airport, the entire security staff was on the hunt for any suspicious people or packages. Naturally who should discover something odd but Yeo-Reom who noticed a man hiding a package in a trash can. Luckily it wasn't what it seemed as it was actually a box of gold bars worth quite a bit of money, the bomb threat turned out to be a hoax but at least the smuggling of gold bars was discovered and the culprits were caught.

 That was the only major incident in this show but at least Yeo-Reom cane out of it unscathed. She's on shaky ground for working in the Passenger Service department could be her final chance to continue at the airport. Above with Yeo-Reom is her 'mentor' Lee who has only been at the airport for three months but is such a capable employee and other departments want him. Included him in a few screenshots as his secret, which is only known to their director Yang, is about to be discovered by Yeo-Reom and more on that in the next segment.




















 Don't know the full details yet but when Lee was a teenager he had been struck by a car while riding his bike. He's become a 'Six Million Dollar Man' as his right arm and leg are bionic, they're both so powerful yet Lee tries to keep it a secret which has worked out well up until now. His director Yang knows all about Lee's past and it appears soon that Yeo-Reom will too, it also appears there could be a budding romance.

 Two incidents in this show, one was about a very unruly passenger who tried to hide many items from Customs as to not pay the excise tax. She was caught by an off duty security guard who had a scuffle with the woman named Kim, Yeo-Reom was on hand to witness everything but didn't get too involved. This Kim woman is such a spoiled brat, her father is a congressman and she's threatening to sue the airport. She didn't know the name of the off duty security guard and Yeo-Reom wouldn't reveal it to anyone which mightily impressed her director Yang. Eventually the woman dropped the potential charges as Lee had taped a phone conversation she had made to her lawyer which would have exposed what she was trying to hide from Customs.

 One other development dealt with a thirty year old man who was waiting to board a flight. This man had some psychological problems and had forgotten to bring his medicine. They keep him under control and he's usually mild mannered but without his medicine he can become a violent person. That's eventually what happened as he threatened a few employees and to save the day appearing at the scene was Yeo-Reom. However she was no match for this man either but luckily popping out of nowhere was Lee, not really out of nowhere as he had been tailing Yeo-Reom. For the second time in this show he showed his 'Superman' strength and he's slowly revealing to Yeo-Reom his past which led to him having a pair of bionic body parts. That's the end of these mini recaps and as I've mentioned twice just can't afford to keep spending so much time on these Korean dramas though this series has been a sold watch, did view the next two shows but didn't take any screenshots. Almost forgot to add this in which was that the Passenger Service team was transferred to Terminal 2.
