He passes on the news to Nam-soon who is surprised but ready to find something that can help the investigation. However, finding what she needs is not easy and even after trying to butter up her superior, she is unable to find anything. Elsewhere, Nam-in is seriously affected by the drug as he is unable to stop his water consumption.
Meanwhile, Hee-sik looks at the list of members of the Heritage Club and reveals to his team that he has a way to get inside. At Doogo, Si-o finds out that the person who stole his computer is similar to Nam-soon from his guard. This makes him suspicious about her identity and he tries to confirm it through Myung-hee.
However, Myung-hee lies about Nam-soon’s identity and hides that she is indeed Geum-ju’s daughter. Meanwhile, Geum-ju receives information about Pavel and finds out that the new leader of this organisation is a young man with the code name Nozh. She also finds out that the members of this organisation are all orphans.
The next day, Nam-soon gives Si-o’s guard a helping hand when entering the building and finds out that Si-o uses the drug he is bringing to the market. She then gets a message Si-o to accompany him to the Heritage Club. Meanwhile, Geum-ju and Hee-sik also arrive at the Heritage Club for their meeting with Si-o and are shocked when they see Nam-soon there.
Hee-sik makes an excuse and leaves the room to plant a hidden camera in one of the meeting rooms while Geum-ju tries to corner Si-o by mentioning Pavel. However, this only angers him and Nam-soon stops Geum-ju before she goes any further. The meeting ends there while Nam-soon is left with an angered Si-o.
When leaving, she sees him off after which he heads out with Marie Kim who had asked her to meet after she was done.

Strong Girl Nam-soon Episode 9 Review
This episode has a bundle of information beginning with a tragic past connected to Si-o who is messed up because of the environment he had to grow up in. Si-o is one of the villains we will all look at from a perspective that would reason with his actions and this scene has only brought more material to help us defend him. If it wasn’t enough that Byeon Woo-seok is playing this character, adding in a tragic past was all that was needed to grow the villain’s fandom.
Moving on, this episode has tried to bring in some comic scenes through Joong-gan’s upcoming tragedy and I have to say, she is a woman facing some really big problems at the moment. However, she wasn’t able to hide the heartfelt pity I have felt towards Nam-in in this episode who is unable to get the needed attention from his family but is only mentioned in the passing to show his existence.
I can see why he would be an easy target for those who want to bring harm to this family as he does not get the attention he deserves. Finally, Nam-soon is going strong with her character but there is no doubt that the audience can feel some cringe when she overdoes her part. While being dressed as a ghost and stealing Si-o’s computer was undoubtedly hilarious, feeling up Hee-sik in a very serious situation can easily get her and others in trouble.
