And when Do Ha turned a suspect anyway, he stood by Do Ha each step of the way in which. Deuk Chan confesses that he actually was going to show himself in after the physique was found. That’s why he appointed Do Ha as his substitute CEO. He by no means meant for Jae Chan to serve time as an alternative of him. All of it simply acquired out of hand.

The present chooses to finish the place it started, with Sol Hee. Her eardrums had been affected by the explosion from Deuk Chan’s automotive crash, and she will be able to not hear lies, which is each nerve-wracking and surprisingly releasing for her. She’s so used to with the ability to inform when somebody’s mendacity to her that navigating the world in all its complexity is bewildering. She’s by no means needed to learn physique language or use contextual clues to find out what somebody’s actually saying. She’s at all times simply identified. So, even the best argument confuses her now as a result of she doesn’t know if the individuals arguing imply what they’re saying or not.
