Seo Gwon-sun’s Fixation on Eun-guk and Her Conflict With Choi Jae-won Over the Maternity Notebook

A video from the KBS drama “Trap of Desire” brings the characters’ sharply conflicting interests and tensions to the surface. In the opening portion of the released footage, Seo Gwon-sun and Choi Jae-won engage in a heated exchange as they argue over the whereabouts of a maternity notebook.

Seo Gwon-sun and Choi Jae-won Clash Over the Maternity Notebook

According to the conversation shown in the video, Choi Jae-won confronts Seo Gwon-sun and presses her to reveal where the maternity notebook is. The dispute quickly becomes more than a question about the notebook’s location, as Seo Gwon-sun explains that she intends to use the money associated with it for Eun-guk.

Seo Gwon-sun makes clear that she wants the money to secure Eun-guk’s future. Describing the path she hopes to create for her grandson, she says that she will turn it into “an asphalt road for my grandson’s future.” Her words show that Eun-guk’s prospects are the central reason she gives for pursuing the money.

Another view raised in the conversation is that the notebook should be kept safe so Eun-seol can look for her birth mother after putting her own circumstances in order. Seo Gwon-sun rejects that position, arguing that there is no meaningful difference between waiting until Eun-seol is ready and having the family conduct the search themselves. She also suggests that Eun-seol would be grateful to them for finding her birth mother.

Choi Jae-won responds by accusing Seo Gwon-sun of trying to clear a path for Eun-guk even if doing so means selling out Eun-seol. The accusation places Eun-seol’s situation directly against Seo Gwon-sun’s determination to prioritize Eun-guk and intensifies the confrontation between them.

Seo Gwon-sun answers by emphasizing how difficult things must have been for Eun-guk, saying that Eun-guk had been unable to contain those feelings and had suffered greatly. She again states her intention to use the money she has secured to “lay down a strong asphalt road” for Eun-guk’s future, repeating the image to underscore her resolve.

Choi Jae-won then asks whether Seo Gwon-sun plans simply to locate Eun-seol’s birth mother or to find her and demand something in return. Seo Gwon-sun answers that she is doing it for Eun-guk. Her position, intertwined with Eun-seol’s circumstances and the question of finding Eun-seol’s birth mother, highlights the differences in values among the family members.

A Social Contribution Project Opens a New Phase

The direction of the conversation then changes as the video moves to a scene concerning cooperation on a social contribution project. A person in the footage delivers the requested cooperation document for the project and reports that preparations for the opening ceremony are proceeding without disruption, from setting up the site to inspecting the required quantities.

The conversation continues with an update about the mother’s condition. The mother is said to be comfortable and to have shown interest in the day center, presenting a calmer situation alongside the earlier family conflict.

The scene also includes the opinion that a program being conducted domestically could be good for So-yeon. Together with the project preparations and the update about the mother, that suggestion signals that a new set of circumstances may soon unfold.
