Episode 179[]
Dr. Kim is at Granny's restaurant next door, and Granny mentions how everyone in the area is closing down and selling. She says the realtors say the prices are going to keep dropping. Dr. Kim receives a phone call from Eugene and confirms that Chungil Lee offered to buy her clinic. Gray tells Eugene to tell her not to sell.
Episode 180[]
Dr. Kim tells Gray and Eugene that she decided to finally sell, so she looked at the going rates around the area, but they’re ridiculously low even compared to a few days ago. Gray says it’s because they’ve rigged the listing already and are trying to buy the remaining stores for dirt cheap by putting up fake listings in the area. He says it’s a known real estate scam and tells her to not sell.
Dr. Kim believes Gray’s explanation, and she asks him how he knows so much about them. Gray says something similar happened last year. Not only did they get illegal insider information, but they used the same scam on the elderly to collect astronomical profits.
Episode 182[]
Dr. Kim sees in the newspaper that the property value of her area has increased by 1.5 times the original price. Granny tearfully hugs her and is glad she didn’t sell her store. If Dr. Kim hadn’t warned her not to sell, she would’ve sold her store for pennies. Dr. Kim thinks people are rarely interested in what happens to others, and wonders how Gray has that kind of insight. She understands why Eugene looks at him with trusting eyes.
After Eunjang's classes are over for the day, she calls Eugene and tells him that a new development project was just announced, and the commercial area falls within its borders which means the property value has increased. She says to thank Gray and that she’ll treat them to some food some time.

The construction crew is loudly bringing in the materials into the building next to Singil Vet, creating loud noises, scraping against the vet building, and kicking up a lot of dust.

Trivia[]
- She is most likely Eugene's maternal aunt. When a man and a woman get married in South Korea, both keep their family names and if they have a child, the child usually inherits the father's family name. Because she has a different family name than Eugene (Seo), it can be assumed that she is related to his mother instead.
