Hye-jung is Safe, and Na-jung is Highly Suspicious

The episode continues from the cliffhanger. Hye-jung is attacked in her house by a tattooed man. Thankfully, Si-hyun arrives on time to rescue but the attacker escapes. The police arrive a bit late, so they couldn’t catch him. Si-hyun then arranges a secure hotel for Hye-jung to stay, and it is evident that he does care about her.

Na-jung seems to be aware of Jae-hee’s identity, but she doesn’t show it. She also sees how much Yi-jun is considerate towards Jae-hee. Na-jung also tells the staff to search for Secretary Han’s pen and ensure they don’t reveal about the man that poisoned Yi-jun’s milk. These scenes raise suspicions about Na-jung. What is she hiding?

Yi-Jun Finally Opens Up About His Past

The episode finally delivers the long-awaited, emotionally charged scene where Yi-jun shares about his mother’s death. He reveals that she suffered from depression, and it led her to end her life. We can see that this has affected Yi-jun deeply. After this confession, Yi-jun also opens his heart to Jae-hee.

He expresses his feelings to her and asks whether she would have liked him if either of them were a woman. Poor thing, he doesn’t know that Jae-hee is a woman in disguise. However, Jae-hee, who also has feelings for him, hides it and strictly says that she would’ve rejected him. She also asks him to never bring this topic up again, or else she’ll resign.

A Dangerous Encounter Changes Everything

The final blow happens when the series combines romance and terror. Yi-Jun and Jae-Hee’s car suddenly stops working before they crash into another vehicle driven by the tattooed man. Yi-Jun passes out, allowing the attacker to steal the recording pen from his coat. However, Jae-hee wakes up and fights back. She manages to remove the man’s mask and finds out who he is. However, he manages to escape before the cops arrive.

As Yi-jun wakes up, he asks the cop about Jae-hee, and the cop addresses Jae-hee as a woman. This shocks Yi-jun as he finally discovers that Jae-hee is a woman who has been hiding her identity from him.

Final Thoughts

Episode 8 really cooked well. We saw Si-hyun and Hye-jung’s relationship developing; we have suspicions about Na-jung; Yi-jun opened up and now has learned that Jae-hee is a woman. This is such a good cliffhanger because in the next episodes, he will either have to forgive Jae-hee for hiding her identity or will have to walk away from her. Either way, they will eventually fall in love and join because they’re protective of each other. But for now, let’s enjoy the love-hate drama.
