Bok Man Heum (Ko Du Shim) had been suspicious of Do Da Hae from the start and decided to investigate her background. It turned out that Do Da Hae was the adopted daughter of a notorious mafia family. When Do Da Hae’s adoptive mother tried to clear up the misunderstanding, Bok Man Heum’s suspicions only grew stronger.
Adding to the complexity, Bok I Na (Park So Yi), who has the ability to read minds, confirmed the shady intentions behind Do Da Hae’s actions. Despite knowing the truth, Bok I Na chose to stay silent, merely observing the unfolding events.
Do Da Hae found herself in a tight spot. Realizing that her fraudulent plans might be exposed, she considered abandoning her scheme and the Bok family altogether. Her growing fear of the family’s unusual powers pushed her towards this drastic decision.

Theories abound that true love might eventually bring Do Da Hae and Bok Gwi Ju back together. Only time will tell if their love can overcome the obstacles they face.
