Like youngsters in a playground, it’s a squabbling warfare over what’s mine versus yours, however as Kim Haneul (Nothing Uncovered) and Rain (Ghost Physician) expertise firsthand, the stakes – and penalties – are considerably scarier when our power-hungry gamers even have secrets and techniques to cover.

Opening on our heroine within the teaser, Oh Wan-soo (Kim Haneul) proudly introduces herself as South Korea’s goodwill ambassador and chairwoman of a charity basis. As a former pro-golfer and spouse to the Hwa-in Group’s inheritor, Wan-soo’s fame and public picture is marketed because the face of the conglomerate.

Regardless of getting used like a trophy spouse, although, Wan-soo is real in her pursuit to do good and she or he’s lauded by the trade for her worldwide enterprise accomplishments. This prompts Website positioning Yi-sook’s (Knight Flower) President Park Mi-ran to admonish Wan-soo for overstepping, saying, “This isn’t your work to do.” However our heroine firmly defends her stance, stating, “That is my work. I’m going to combat till the top for a greater world.”

Flipping on the ~dramatic~ motion swap, Wan-soo’s new bodyguard and ex-cop Website positioning Do-yoon (Rain) subsequent enters the scene, whose actual motive for getting into Hwa-in is to research his buddy’s demise and sniff out the assassin. Satisfied that this similar particular person is now out for Wan-soo’s blood, Do-yoon warns her to not belief others whereas additionally vowing to guard her.

Certainly, Wan-soo’s husband Kim Yong-gook – performed by Jung Kyeo-woon (You’re Too A lot) – is one such distrustful slimeball who claims, “It’s not that I’m not ready, I’m simply not accountable. Isn’t it pure that I’m like this after I’ve by no means needed to take duty for something in my complete life?” Though he professes to like his spouse, he alarmingly yells that she’s “his” and is angered by Wan-soo’s indifference when he’s caught dishonest.

However whereas she is the one giving the orders, it falls to Yoon Je-moon (Nothing Uncovered) taking part in lawyer Han Sang-il to hold them out. It’s unclear how a lot he’ll soiled his palms, as he does deflect when requested about homicide. However he’s clearly displeased by Do-yoon’s presence and the suspicious sequence means that Sang-il is at the least linked to the perpetrator Do-yoon is chasing.

Including gas to the hearth… er… figuratively however perhaps actually as effectively, Ki Eun-se’s (Now We Are Breaking Up) character Jang Tae-ra is set to upend Wan-soo’s life and make it hers. She definitely is one thing, having the gall to demand that Wan-soo get divorced. What our heroine ought to do is a special dialogue, however it’s a little satisfying to listen to Tae-ra being instructed to remain a concubine, adopted by President Park’s scream for Tae-ra to scram.

Because the teaser involves an in depth, we watch as Wan-soo lastly lets her guard down with our hero, admitting that, “My marriage was already in ruins. Since a very long time in the past. This place is hell.” Do-yoon then leaves us with the query of what Wan-soo is attempting to guard and whether or not it’s value risking her life, and Wan-soo reveals her resolve to face by her charity basis.
