The story continues with our prosecutor getting extra entangled within the double lives of our heroine. Along with the killer on the unfastened and the unsolved twenty-year-old case, we’ve additionally bought a drug distribution ring and undercover assignments popping up this week. How thrilling!

 
EPISODES 3-4

It seems that final week’s automobile crash was a misdirection. Phew! The raincoat killer didn’t hit Mi-jin together with his automobile — however he was this near stepping out together with his axe when Mi-jin approached the automobile to choose up the strewn items of investigation recordsdata that flew out of Ji-woong’s envelope. Raincoat Killer is pressured to drive off when Ji-woong exhibits up, however Mi-jin is now on his hit record after he hears Ji-woong shout her identify — though he’s unsure if the surname he heard was Lee or Im. However what does it matter? Our Lee Mi-jin can be Im Quickly!

Talking of Quickly, our ahjumma goes viral after saving Received from the acid assault, and he or she receives a Courageous Intern Award at work. She additionally receives a dozen thanks presents from Received — together with a automobile! However since Quickly couldn’t probably put down Mi-jin’s home tackle in her worker particulars, the presents are delivered to the tackle she has on file: her finest pal, DO GA-YEONG’s (Kim Ah-young) home. Not the supply individual mistaking Ga-yeong for Quickly’s daughter. Loool.

By the way in which, Ga-yeong’s dad owns the constructing, and Ji-woong is the latest tenant — who moved into the “haunted” residence upstairs. Cheers to an avenue for extra run-ins between our leads. *Clinks glasses too onerous and spills the champagne on the entire “haunted” stuff*

Quickly rushes over to Ga-yeong’s home on listening to concerning the presents, and we get one other spherical of the “Ahjumma, who’re you?” and “I’m your finest pal, foolish!” forwards and backwards. Pfft. Quickly actually has to rework in entrance of Ga-yeong at sunset for her finest pal to imagine that she’s actually Mi-jin — however I fear about Ga-yeong’s recording of the transformation regardless that Mi-jin requested her to do it with the intention to clear her doubt. For one, Ga-yeong is a YouTuber, and these clips have a approach of by chance making it out of the telephone and onto the web. Anyway, I hope it’s simply me overthinking issues as normal.

Shifting on, Quickly returns all of the presents to Received as a result of Okay-drama feminine leads are too modest to simply accept costly presents proper off the bat. I’d have accepted a espresso store in my identify so I don’t have to fret about cash and employment, however our heroine settles for day by day espresso from Received. Then once more, it’s in her nature to assist others with out anticipating something in return. Like her subsequent non-pity and Sweet of Encouragement for Received after his trauma-induced panic assault on seeing a random man in a masks — which results in a rise in our resident idol’s gratitude to the cleaner ahjumma. Hmmm.

As investigation into Raincoat Killer continues, Ji-woong learns that the sufferer was alive when her arm was severed. However that’s the one a part of her physique that has been discovered. The detective in command of the raincoat case — who additionally put collectively the lacking girls’s investigation recordsdata — notes that there’s an identical case of dismemberment of a residing individual among the many recordsdata he compiled for Ji-woong. However for some cause, the non-public particulars part of the file was ripped out, and the detective in command of the twenty-year-old case is retired. Yep. Not suspicious in any respect. (By the way in which, the dismemberment case in query is prone to be Ji-woong’s mother’s, based mostly on his flashbacks.)

Again to the present case, Ji-woong wants Mi-jin’s assist to establish Raincoat Killer’s automobile from CCTV footage, so he comes over to her home since his quantity continues to be blocked in her telephone from when she mistook him as a voice phishing scammer. Heh. Because the captain of the ship — or at the very least as a fan of kicking her daughter into the arms of an eligible bachelor — Mi-jin’s mother wastes no time inviting Ji-woong in. I imply, why take their enterprise to a espresso store when there’s tea and fruits at house? “You can also make your self comfy [in Mi-jin’s room],” she says, and lol! Mother is so clear, she may simply as nicely have informed them to make her some grandbabies.

Sadly, Mi-jin can’t establish the automobile; neither does she make grandbabies. What she does — or somewhat, what Quickly does — is get assigned to be Ji-woong’s workplace aide after his earlier assistant quits. For Quickly, getting a desk job and considerably attaining her dream of changing into a civil servant is one of the best factor to come back out of her Intern of the Month reward bundle. And the deal is additional sweetened by her Candies of Gratitude when she assumes Ji-woong requested her to be his aide. The person simply needed a brand new assistant, however the deputy chief prosecutor couldn’t be bothered to rent another person to cope with his prickly subordinate. Lol.

With our heroine’s blushing, twirling of hair and request for Ga-yeong to the touch up her make-up on her first day as an aide, it’s secure to imagine that somebody has a crush. Ji-woong, then again, is uncomfortable working with older folks. However since our prosecutor is extraordinarily gifted at making all his assistants give up — lol — an ahjumma like Quickly gained’t final lengthy in response to his investigator, JOO BYUNG-DUK (Yoon Byung-hee). *Snorts*

What Mr. Prosecutor and Mr. Investigator don’t know is that Ms. Aide just isn’t the common ahjumma who shies away from challenges. Typing 1000 WPM? No drawback! Creating spreadsheets with superior features? Pfft. Straightforward peasy. Climbing a mountain to hand-deliver prosecution summons to a recluse? She doesn’t break a sweat. Miss ma’am even is aware of tips on how to code! And better of all, Quickly has no concept that these duties are deliberately designed to make her give up. Lol. I wish to be like her after I develop up.

However no matter our prosecutor’s reservations with Quickly are, issues are totally different with Mi-jin. To Ji-woong, Mi-jin is a vital girl witness within the raincoat homicide case, and he buys her self protection weapons and saves his quantity in her shortcuts so she will be able to name him immediately if one thing harmful occurs. Awww. Ji-woong’s concern for Mi-jin’s security units her coronary heart aflutter, and you already know the woman is down unhealthy when she by chance dials his quantity whereas squeeing. Lool. However Ji-woong secretly installs a GPS tracker on Mi-jin’s telephone, and regardless that his intentions are purely for her safety, I’m not so comfy with this as a result of it’s nonetheless an invasion of her privateness.

Again to the raincoat sufferer, the police discover traces of fentanyl within the blood on the crime scene, and you already know who else loves his fentanyl patches? It’s Acid Assailant. Not that he was instantly concerned in Raincoat Killer’s homicide since he was already in custody on the time. In line with Byung-duk’s investigation, the fentanyl enterprise started to increase in Seohan a few yr in the past, however curiously sufficient, there was additionally fentanyl in Ji-woong’s mother’s corpse. And her homicide occurred years in the past.

To show her price to the group, Quickly goes undercover into the fentanyl distribution membership — as Mi-jin, since membership doorways swing open at sunset — and he or she manages to get invited into the VIP rooms the place the drug offers go down. Issues go south when a sleazy man finds the hidden digital camera in her bag, however since she couldn’t verify again in with Ji-woong after their agreed ten-minute interval, he fights his approach into the membership to search for her. Ji-woong bursts into the room simply as Mr. Sleaze is about to smash Mi-jin’s head with an ashtray, and the week involves an finish with one other cliffhanger.

Tune in subsequent week to learn the way Mi-jin will clarify her approach out of getting caught up in a state of affairs Quickly is meant to be in. Though I don’t count on Ji-woong to search out out this early into the present that each girls are the identical individual. It’ll be enjoyable to look at him wallow in confusion for a bit because the similarities start to hit him — like how he observed that Mi-jin has an an identical backpack to Quickly. Received, then again, has turn out to be a detective racking his mind and analyzing CCTV footage after recognizing Quickly using her bicycle, after which seeing a similarly-dressed Mi-jin on the bicycle after turning across the nook. At this level, bets are formally open on which man will discover out Mi-jin’s secret first.

Bets are additionally open as to the id of the brand new senior citizen intern on the prosecution workplace. All we all know is that he’s a former hospital director — who coincidentally resumed work after the Raincoat Killer tried to piece Mi-jin’s surname collectively. Somebody together with his medical coaching would have information of the human anatomy and amputation/dismemberment abilities, however he is also a purple herring. In any case, it’s left for our prosecutor and his remodeling heroine to search out out the reality. If the previous detective intern doesn’t beat them to the punch.
