Kim Sun-ah of 'Queen of the Mask' revealed Lee Jeong-jin's ugly truth through a life-threatening revenge battle.
In the 8th episode of Channel A's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Queen of Masks', which aired on the 16th, Do Jae-i (played by Kim Sun-ah) secretly attended the Angels Club party with the help of Chareo (played by Shin Ji-hoon) and encountered a shocking scene. Jae-yi, who broke into the master room, was in danger of being discovered by Song Je-hyeok (Lee Jeong-jin) while copying the member list and accounting list to a USB.
On this day's broadcast, Je-hyuk lured Yoon Hae-mi (played by Yoo Seon) with drugs in order to obtain the ledger containing Jae-yi's private information. Hae-mi, caught in the trap set by Je-hyuk, enjoyed a drug party at the club, and while drunk, she tearfully broke up with Leo.
After resolving their misunderstandings about each other, Jae-yi and Yoo Yoo-na (played by Oh Yoon-ah) teamed up once again. Jae-yi, who decided to raise the stakes to tie Je-hyuk, sent invitations to his friends and people related to Je-hyuk.
Jai held a 'Donation Night for Women Victims of Sexual Violence in Tongju City' and proudly revealed that she was also a victim of sexual violence. However, just as he was about to reveal the identity of the rapist, a video containing the full story of incident number 2401 from 10 years ago was played on the large screen, confusing Jae-yi. Jehyuk, who already knew about Jae-yi's plan, changed the video.
The video contained shocking scenes, including four friends sitting with a male receptionist, Joo Yoo-jeong (played by Shin Eun-jeong) arguing with Gi Do-sik (played by Jo Tae-gwan), and Hae-mi running away with Do-sik's drugs. The unexpected video sent Jae-i, Yu-jeong, Yuna, and Hae-mi into a state of panic. At that moment, the fire alarm went off and water poured out from the sprinklers, turning the event venue into chaos.
Yoo-jeong, who was pregnant with Je-hyeok's child, learned that Je-hyeok was the 'masked man' who raped Jae-yi and the murderer who killed Do-shik. But Yoo-jeong said, “No matter what you say, I trust Je-hyuk. Because it's for my child. “I think we’re done now,” he said, and their friendship headed toward disaster.
After learning that Leo was the general manager of Ace Bar, Jae-yi revealed all the secrets about Je-hyeok. 10 years ago, Jae-i decided to wear Je-hyeok's mask and enter the Angels Club Orphanage, where secret meetings of the Angels Club were held, and with Leo's help, he successfully entered the party hall.
Jae-yi, who entered the master room using silicone made from Ki Yun-cheol's (played by Kwon Tae-won) fingerprints, could not help but be shocked by the illegal activities that included not only drugs and gambling but also child prostitution. Jae-i began copying documents that would become Je-hyeok's treasures, such as the list of Angels Club members and accounting data, onto his USB drive. At that moment, Je-hyeok entered the master room, making viewers' heart rates soar.
On this day's broadcast, the twist ending revealed not only that Je-hyuk was Do-sik's murderer, but also that Yoo-jeong was the one who held the memory card containing the entire story of Do-sik's murder, making people curious about future developments.
Expectations are high on whether Jae-yi and Yuna will be able to put together all the scattered pieces of truth and punish Je-hyeok, the 'two-faced devil', and their desperate cooperation in revenge.
