The 14th episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Pandora: Fabricated Paradise' (Creator Kim Soon-ok, Directed by Choi Young-hoon, Written by Hyeong-min, Planning Studio Dragon, Produced by Chorokbaem Media), which aired on the 23rd, was about Pyo Jae-hyeon (played by Lee Sang-yoon), who was in power, and was considered a thorn in his side. A shocking development unfolded in which the secret laboratory that imprisoned Hong Tae-ra (Lee Ji-ah)'s younger brother Cha Pil-seung (Kwon Hyun-bin) was blown up.
Go Hae-soo (played by Jang Hee-jin) realized what was truly precious after hurting Hong Tae-ra while trying to get revenge on Pyo Jae-hyeon. I sincerely apologized to Hong Tae-ra, wishing her happiness and saying that I hope she won't have a hard time even if she doesn't remember. Hong Tae-ra, who pretended to have lost his memory in order to bring down Pyo Jae-hyeon, revealed the truth. The deep friendship between the two people who cared for each other was touching.
Hong Tae-ra, Go Hae-soo, Jang Do-jin (Park Ki-woong), and Jang Jang-jin (Hong Woo-jin) worked together to make everything right. Jang Do-jin, who could not tell the truth because he was afraid of losing what he had, apologized to Jang Jang-jin. Yang Se-jin (Go Yun-bin), who was being manipulated by Pyo Jae-hyeon, was Park Soo-jeong, whom Pyo Jae-hyun, Jang Do-jin, and Seong-chan Seong (played by Bong Tae-gyu) put in danger 7 years ago while conducting human experiments without the officers knowing. When Goo Seong-chan found out about this, Pyo Jae-hyun promised him the position of minister in response to his mean-spirited threats. Koo Seong-chan's eerie laugh, insisting that his friendship never change, caused anger. Yang Se-jin, who remembered everything, tried to expose Pyo Jae-hyun's atrocities, but was taken to a secret laboratory.
Hong Tae-ra and Pyo Jae-hyeon discovered the ugly truth of a secret research center that conducts illegal human experiments. But Jaehyun Pyo was one step faster. He ordered Koo Seong-chan to blow up the secret research institute. The secret laboratory where the kidnapped Cha Pil-seung and Yang Se-jin, including Jang Jang-jin who was tracking Jae-hyeon Pyo, were being held was engulfed in fire. Hong Tae-ra cried out at the terrible tragedy in which her beloved younger brother, Cha Pil-seung, and innocent people were sacrificed.
Pyo Jae-hyun rose to the top of power while hiding his cruel evil deeds. The contrasting expressions of Hong Tae-ra, shedding tears of anger, and Pyo Jae-hyun, cheering at the cruel congratulations, raised the tension to its peak. Hong Tae-ra, who is suffering from the side effects of the chip injected by Pyo Jae-hyun, wonders whether she can destroy Pyo Jae-hyun.
Meanwhile, Jang Do-jin cooperated with the prosecution's investigation so that his father, Jang Geum-mo (played by Nae-sang Ahn), would be punished for killing Go Hae-soo's father, Go Tae-seon (played by Cha Gwang-soo). Jang Geum-mo, who was in crisis, threatened Jae-hyeon Pyo, but the audio file showing that Hong Tae-ra was the killer Oh Young was already in Jae-hyun Pyo's hands. Even after being arrested, Jang Geum-mo threatened Go Hae-su, who accused him of the crime. “I still call him father to this day. “I will now stand by the bereaved family and uncover my father’s sin until the end.” Jang Do-jin’s firm decision to protect Go Hae-soo was heartwarming.
Hong Tae-ra said she was sorry for being too late and encouraged Go Hae-soo to reveal the truth. Go Hae-soo, who gritted his teeth and held on because he had news he had to deliver as an anchor, finally picked up the microphone. Go Hae-soo said, “I plan to quit my job as anchor for Today’s News for the last time and return to the victim’s family to watch the truth of the case come to light. “I hope this brings hope to all those who want the truth,” he said with tears in his eyes, “It was Go Hae-soo of YBC News who was at the scene of the arrest of the mastermind behind the assassination of former President Ko Tae-seon, which was an unsolved case for 15 years.”
Jang Do-jin acknowledged all of Jang Geum-mo's sins and stepped down from his position as Vice Chairman of Geumjo. In addition, all the research conducted at Hatch was fabricated, and the moment they tried to reveal Jaehyun Pyo's involvement in the death of chimpanzee Red, they suffered a backlash. Pyo Jae-hyeon and Min Young-hwi (played by Gyeon Mi-ri), who wanted to devour Geumjo, colluded and were caught on charges of embezzlement of Geumjo's public funds and breach of trust. The two manipulated Jang Geum-mo's paper company under Jang Do-jin's name. Jaehyun Pyo's Hatch stock trust management was also Min Younghwi. Angered, Jang Jang-jin turns around and says he will abandon his mother, risking his life to bring down Geumjo from now on. However, Min Young-hwi raised tension by threatening the officers with Hong Tae-ra's weakness.
Episode 15 of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Pandora: Fabricated Paradise' will be broadcast at 9:10 pm on the 29th (Saturday).
