As the drama quickly sinks into the second half, here are three key points you should pay attention to!
1. Kim Jung-ho and Kim Yoo-ri’s relationship after revealing the truth
In episode 8, Kim Yoo Ri was shocked to find out that Kim Jong Ho was part of the Dohan group. In the previous episode, Kim Jung Ho was abducted by a school bully, and after finding out that Kim Yoo Ri was crying out of concern for him, he kissed her. However, after the kiss, he started avoiding Kim Yoo Ri, which raised questions about the future of their relationship.
Although Kim Jung-ho originally planned to personally make an official statement that he was the one who accused Dohan Construction of corruption, he missed the time to do so after the news about his father Kim Seung-un (Jung No Min) came out first. Kim Yoo Ri was the first to see his father’s news and burst into tears, exclaiming, “Oh no, Kim Jung Ho. As you said, you will be hated.” He begged earnestly: “I am completely ready. So please don’t leave me.” Now that Kim Yoo Ri knows the truth about Kim Jung Ho, how will their relationship change?
2. The danger facing Dohan Construction and the fate of CEO Lee Pyun Un
Under the name of “Informant”, Kim Jung Ho was able to accuse Dohan Construction of corruption through the web novel “Bureaucratic Terminal of a Vicious SSS-class Enterprise”. When Dohan’s CEO Lee Pyung-un (Cho Han-chul) discovered that the details of this accusation were only available in court records or to persons from Dohan’s group, he began to closely monitor the accuser.
During this process, Kim Yoo Ri, who received compensation from Dohan Construction for the noise in her apartment, received a warning from Lee Pyun Un, forcing Kim Jong Ho to step forward. Kim Jong-ho collected evidence of a connection between Dohan Construction and his father Kim Seung-un, the prosecutor of the Seoul Central District, which, in turn, jeopardized his father’s career. Starting with Kim Seung-un as the target and Dohan Group as the ultimate target, stay tuned to see if Dohan can survive.
