On prime of all this, Eun Kyung is hit with one other devastating blow: she learns that Jae Hee knew concerning the affair lengthy earlier than her.

How confused and harm Jae Hee will need to have been all this time, it’s horrible to even think about.

3. A selfless father fights for his non-biological son

While Eun Kyung handles her divorce case, each episode additionally highlights one or two instances being dealt with by her and her group.
