Elsewhere, Su-ho gets a call from congressman Kim Joon and is asked to meet him. The next day, he confronts the man for being the one to help his son’s murderer as he is the only connection he found between the murderer, his lawyer and the judge. He also understands that it was because this man was in charge of money laundering because of which he had to help him.
Kim Joon is aware that Su-ho has found the truth and tries to scare him, but Su-ho makes it clear that he has nothing left to lose that will make him fearful. With this, he begins to leave but Kim Joon has something on him that can make him stop, and so he shows Su-ho a video that indeed makes him stop in his tracks.
Kim Joon then threatens to show this video to Soo-hyun and that is all it takes for Su-ho to stop. On the other hand, Soo-hyun begins receiving help from a fellow prison mate- Jang Hyung-ja who has been serving there for a long time. Seeing this woman help her, Soo-hyun questions her about the same.
Hyung-ja only tells her that she sees her past self in her and wants to help her. As Soo-hyun begins spending time with her, she starts to see herself healing and moving on from her pain. She no longer falls into a daze and lives as normally as she can. Meanwhile, Su-ho gets an opportunity to become a correspondent in return for keeping Kim Joon’s secret.
Soon, his mother visits Soo-hyun’s mother and tells her that her son is soon going to accept the offer to become a correspondent and hopes that Soo-hyun doesn’t pull him down. Soo-hyun is soon visited by her mother and sister who tell her about Su-ho becoming a correspondent which means that he will be going far away for an unknown time.
Soo-hyun understands what she has to do and asks Su-ho to visit her. She then tells him to never meet her again and to live his life because she is now a murderer and can no longer have a normal life together. This shocks Su-ho and he tries to stop her but Soo-hyun has made it clear that she doesn’t want to meet him again.
He then tries to stop her by saying that he might become a correspondent, but she doesn’t stop and leaves. That night, while Su-ho gets drunk on one side, Soo-hyun cries out all night long. The next day, Su-ho leaves the country while Soo-hyun keeps her pain inside. With this, the years pass along and it is almost time for Soo-hyun’s sentence to come to an end.

Wonderful World Episode 2 Review
The premier weekend has finally come to an end and these two episodes were quite promising as we are certain that this is surely going to be worth the watch. This episode showed the duality of the law system while also surprising us with how easy it is to sometimes manipulate the verdict and show unfair treatment to the victim.
Meanwhile, Kim Nam-joo once again puts on a worthy performance in her role as Soo-hyun as she portrays her pain so beautifully that it can surely move us to tears, On the other hand, Kim Kang-woo has also been leaving us speechless in these two episodes while Cha Eun-woo is preparing to show us his magic in this role.
Altogether, this was a worthwhile start and we are eagerly looking forward to what the show is to bring next.
