Maestra Episode 9 Review
After a rollercoaster of high-low emotions, the episode leaves us with the shocking news of Se-eum being poisoned. Maestra is bringing the suspense to a new level, however, the show may have left some important clues regarding the person poisoning Se-eum in the previous week.
Last week, we saw Kim Phil asking his lawyer if the divorce proceeding would stop if Se-eum died and looks like he is the one behind this chaos right now. However, we also have a second suspect, none other than A-jin because her actions in this episode were surely suspicious.
Meanwhile, taking away our attention in this episode is the green flag Yoo Jeong-jae who is a real supporter of Se-eum. However, if he turns out to be the real culprit behind all of this then we will surely be in for the betrayal of the decade. Let’s hope that does not happen so that we can enjoy the warmth he is spreading with his actions.
