Miss King Episode 2

One recording saves one recording condemns

Todo Seigo gets the dust off his shogi board and starts plotting. He saw Asuka playing her dad’s game and said she could kill him. He starts a search on his phone about her and makes plans. Asuka is probably the hardest worker but because she is rather antisocial, she is the first they want out. She is set up for theft and somehow the stepmom gets contacted by the police. She sends little brother with the evidence that will clear her but has brother got her to sign an ndr about who she is and a promise to never contact her father. She is so grateful to be out of jail that she agrees to it. This was not a smart move but I don’t blame her. She did find out from a detective that they had the recording that proved her innocence. She found out her ass of a brother tricked her and the stepmom tries to buy her off. I love that she tosses the money and that even tho they were successful with their contract, she doesn’t need anything from them and can’t be bought. I think this was the first time stepmom realized Asuka had more character than she expected. She saw the challenge and was keeping the knife video for a scandal later. I did like that Asuka basically told them to kiss off as she strolled past them and the shower of money. She still mourns her mom but knows she’s about to be kicked out of her home. She revisits the spot where she and her mom enjoyed the view and made wishes. She was a good daughter but her father was an ass and her mother died pining for him because she loved him unconditionally. Asuka felt that way for her mom. There is a scene of dinner at the stepmom’s place and it is elegant but cold. When she told the fiancée her shogi days were over and she needed to serve the family I would not have smiled sweetly and agreed. I would have headed to the door and told them sayonara. As Asuka is considering ending it all, Todo shows up and shows the knife to her and wants to know why she hates her dad. Since her dad eliminated their existence, she wanted to return the favor. Todo revealed his mutual hate for her father and said the only way to remove his existence was through the game. He wants them to team up and she’s too tired. He tells her she has a job to do and then the nut jumps off the building to the garbage bin😂🤣I think he found it to hurt more than he expected.😂 He tells her she has a new purpose to live…to play shogi. When she drops him she finds a rook piece and she sees that as a sign to play. Game on to beat dad.
