But she goes all out on this episode.

The thriller of Hae Joon’s mom’s identification is rapidly resolved as an altercation exterior the movie theater the place his dad and mom had their first date reveals that she was Chung Ah (Jung Shin Hye), the feisty proprietor of Bong Bong Teahouse (from which the killer takes the matchboxes to depart with the homicide victims).

But Mi Sook did.

Yet, she refuses to offer a reputation. Meanwhile, criminally silly detective Baek Dong Shik (Choi Young Woo) continues to query whether or not they have the correct man. He’s been fallacious on virtually each single depend thus far, however he’s proper about Min Soo being harmless.
