One morning, Lee Mi Jin (played by Jung Eun Ji) wakes up to a shocking transformation in the Korean drama Miss Night and Day. She turns into a middle-aged woman every morning, and the rest of her day is spent as her usual self. This drastic change leaves her scrambling to hide her secret from her family and friends. Here are the five clever strategies Lee Mi Jin employs to keep her identity under wraps.
Changing Her Home Address

Lee Mi Jin decides to adopt the identity of her missing aunt, Lim Sun (played by Lee Jung Eun), to take up a job that requires no age or gender qualifications. However, to maintain the facade, she needs to change her home address. She uses her friend Do Ga Yeong’s (Kim A Young) apartment address to avoid suspicion from her family, who know Lim Sun has been missing for years. This clever move helps her keep her true identity hidden from those who know her best.
Leaving for Work Before Sunrise

To avoid alarming her parents with her transformed appearance, Lee Mi Jin leaves for work before sunrise. Her new voice and posture are unrecognizable, leading her parents to mistakenly report her to the police, thinking she has dementia. By leaving early and skipping breakfast, she minimizes the risk of her parents discovering her secret morning transformation.
Changing Clothes Before the Transformation

Every morning, Lee Mi Jin changes her clothes before her transformation to avoid raising any suspicions. This routine becomes a daily hassle, but it helps her maintain her disguise. By consistently altering her appearance, she ensures that no one connects her two identities.
Using Two Mobile Phone Numbers

Lee Mi Jin’s job performance earns her a position as Gye Ji Ung’s (Choi Jin Hyuk) assistant. However, Gye Ji Ung knows her original identity and phone number. To keep him from suspecting anything, she uses two SIM cards, juggling between them to prevent him from catching on. This constant effort adds another layer of complexity to her double life.
Climbing Gye Ji Ung’s Balcony

In one particularly daring move, Lee Mi Jin climbs onto Gye Ji Ung’s balcony to avoid being caught. After a night out, she tries to enter her friend Do Ga Yeong’s house, but mistakenly attempts to enter Gye Ji Ung’s apartment. When the door fails to open and morning approaches, she is forced to climb the balcony to get to Do Ga Yeong’s apartment before her transformation is complete. This risky maneuver showcases her determination to keep her secret safe at all costs.
Lee Mi Jin’s relentless efforts to hide her identity make Miss Night and Day a thrilling watch. Her creative strategies and the lengths she goes to protect her secret add depth to her character and keep viewers on the edge of their seats. Will her efforts be enough to maintain her double life, or will her secret be revealed? Tune in to find out!
