Episode 2 of Channel A's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Queen of Masks', which aired on the 25th, featured Do Jae-i (played by Kim Sun-ah) and Joo Yoo-jeong (Shin Eun-jeong) on the condition that Go Yoo-na (played by Oh Yoon-ah) give up the land of the deceased Mayor Jeong Gu-tae (played by Jeon Jin-gi). (played by Yoo Seon) suggested to Hae-mi Yoon (played by Yoo Seon) that she kill her ex-husband.
Previously, it was revealed that Do Jae-i was sexually assaulted by a 'masked man' at the same place on the night that Yoo-jeong Joo's fiancé Ki Do-sik died in room 2401 of the hotel. In addition, Go Yoo-na and Do Jae-i, ex-murderers who appeared at Mayor Jeong Gu-tae's funeral for the first time in 10 years, had a tense confrontation.
The broadcast on this day began with the appearance of four close friends meeting for the first time in 10 years at the funeral of Mayor Jeong Gu-tae. Yuna shocked the three friends by telling them that she had been living in the U.S. after parole and revealing that she was Mayor Jeong's mistress.
In addition, it was revealed that Do Jae-i's biological wife, Kang Bo Group Chairman Kang Il-gu (played by Song Young-chang), tried to cover up the murder that occurred in hotel suite room 2401 10 years ago. In the past, he abandoned Jae-yi's pregnant mother and married the chairman's only daughter, and framed Yuna for murder in order to hide the existence of Jae-yi, who was an extramarital child.
In addition, the reason why Do Jae-i dreamed of entering politics by taking on the dirty work of Mayor Jeong Gu-tae's family and the story of his obsession with the land in the Gunggok district were also revealed. Through DNA analysis of the underwear he was wearing at the time of the incident, Jae-yi finds out that there was another man besides Ki-sik who died in room 2401 that night. In addition, by threatening the police chief, he traced the mask worn by the rapist and found out that it was the same mask that Mayor Jeong received from the secret membership club, causing a chill.
Dojae decided to go into the tiger's den on his own to catch the tiger. She visited Mayor Jeong and asked him to raise her as a politician, and to gain his trust, she became a star lawyer and solved all the accidents that occurred at home. Finally, Jae-yi, who became Mayor Jeong, learned from him that the meeting place of secret membership members was in the Gunggok district, which was purchased with slush funds.
Getting one step closer to the truth hidden behind the mask, she urged Mayor Jeong, who was about to be appointed Minister of Culture, to donate land in the Gunggok district, which was considered a risk, to Yoo Jeong's cultural foundation. This entire meticulous and cruel process was the signal for Do Jae Yi's revenge to find the 'masked man' who trampled on him.
However, Mayor Jeong, who had already noticed Jae-yi's plan to take away the land in the Gunggok district, invited Yuna, his mistress whom he met while on a business trip to the U.S., to Korea and asked her to take charge of the land on his behalf until he broke up with Jae-yi.
Meanwhile, Yuna, who called Jae-yi, Yuna, and Hae-mi to room 2401, where the murder occurred 10 years ago, created tension by suggesting that they kill her ex-husband, who ran away with her daughter in the United States, in exchange for land in the Gunggok district.
In addition, Go Yoo-na visited Ki Yun-cheol (played by Kwon Tae-won), Yoo-jeong's former fiancé and Do-sik's father, who was murdered 10 years ago, and told him that there was another culprit who killed his son.
