Song Yi Heon (Yoon Chan Young) is the hidden son of the head of OK Construction in High School Return of a Gangster (2024). To keep the leader’s reputation intact, Yi Heon and his mother have been living in secrecy. However, things take a darker turn when Yi Heon’s father’s legal wife falls ill, and the family’s secretary, Lee Mi Hyun (Hwang Bo Ra), begins to see Yi Heon as a threat to her plans. Here are four ways Mi Hyun has threatened Yi Heon.
1. Yi Heon Was Forced to Move to a Boarding School
Even though Lee Mi Hyun claims to be the secretary of the OK Construction family, her name isn’t officially registered as an employee of the company. Despite this, she has significant access, including to Yi Heon’s educational arrangements. Without his consent, Mi Hyun managed Yi Heon’s school transfer documents and planned to send him to a boarding school or even abroad. Thankfully, Yi Heon, with the spirit of Kim Deuk Pal (Lee Seo Jin) within him, managed to stop her plans.
2. Tricked Yi Heon’s Mother into Becoming Addicted to Alcohol
Mi Hyun regularly accesses the luxurious home where Yi Heon and his mother live, often bringing alcohol to stock the house. Her sinister plan was to make Yi Heon’s mother addicted to alcohol, leaving her unconscious frequently. This would allow Mi Hyun to move around freely without being noticed. This tactic added a layer of psychological torment to Yi Heon’s already troubled life.
3. The Mastermind Behind the Bullying Yi Heon Faces
Yi Heon’s misery isn’t confined to his home; his school life is equally distressing. He has been the victim of severe bullying, enduring physical and psychological abuse. The bullies even force him to steal his mother’s luxury items for their gain. Shockingly, this group of tormentors is part of a gang working with Mi Hyun. The fact that Mi Hyun orchestrates this bullying reveals her deep-seated malice and strategic planning.
4. Attempted Kidnapping of Yi Heon’s Mother
In a recent escalation, Yi Heon’s mother was nearly kidnapped. Their home was repeatedly burglarized, with the CCTV cameras deliberately damaged. Yi Heon witnessed the burglary and tried to intervene. Once again, the martial arts skills of Deuk Pal’s spirit within Yi Heon saved the day, protecting both Yi Heon and his mother from the kidnappers.
Mi Hyun’s relentless threats make her a formidable antagonist in High School Return of a Gangster. Her actions raise intriguing questions about her true identity, especially since she isn’t listed as an OK Construction employee. This mystery adds another layer of suspense to the drama, keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. What motivates Mi Hyun’s extreme actions? And who is she, really? These questions are sure to keep us hooked as the series unfolds.
