'Pandora: A Fabricated Paradise' Jang Hee-jin learned about Lee Ji-ah's 'killer' past
The 3rd episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Pandora: Fabricated Paradise' (Creator Kim Soon-ok, Directed by Choi Young-hoon, Written by Hyun Ji-min, Planning Studio Dragon, Produced by Chorokbaem Media), which aired on the 18th, featured Hong Tae-ra (played by Lee Ji-ah) and Go Hae-soo, who are like family. (Jang Hee-jin)'s tragic fate was depicted.
Hong Tae-ra, who was captured at Hanul Psychiatric Hospital 20 years ago, escaped with his younger brother Baek-oh and was bitten by a wild dog, damaging his left ear. Hong Tae-ra's persistent struggle to survive as an ace killer by enduring training as instructed by director Kim Seon-deok (played by Shim So-young) to protect her younger brother was heartbreaking.
But Kim Seon-deok was vicious. Contrary to his promise, he also turned his younger brother into a killer. Angered, Hong Tae-ra escaped once again with his younger brother. The results were terrible. Chief Cho (played by Gong Jeong-hwan) committed a cruel act by hitting Hong Tae-ra's younger brother, who had fallen on a motorcycle, with his vehicle while running away and pushing Hong Tae-ra off a cliff. Hong Tae-ra, who barely survived but lost her memory, regained her tragic memories while living as a fake Hong Tae-ra in a miserable paradise created by an unknown mastermind.
Hong Tae-ra's counterattack, which opened Pandora's box on her own, has also begun. Hong Tae-ra had to protect her family and Go Hae-soo from Kim Seon-deok while finding the person behind manipulating her fate. In order to find the person who instigated the death of Go Hae-soo's father, former President Go Tae-seon (Cha Gwang-soo), he bribed Kim Seon-deok. In addition, he learned that the 'Skull Helmet Man', who told Go Hae-soo that he was the real culprit of his father's sniping incident and informed him of the existence of Hanul Psychiatric Hospital along with Oh Young's photo, was hovering around him and Go Hae-soo. Hong Tae-ra felt an ominous energy after seeing the 'Skull Helmet Man' in the car bomb that threatened the two people. Hong Tae-ra's struggle to fight alone, unable to tell the truth to Pyo Jae-hyeon and Go Hae-soo, was desperate.
But the breathtaking secret did not last long. Go Hae-soo receives a photo of the real Hong Tae-ra from someone. And when he found out that the real Hong Tae-ra died in a car accident, he was confused. Go Hae-soo, who found out that Hong Tae-ra was missing her left ear, was shocked and was sure, “Tae-ra was Oh Young?!” The intense ending, where the images of the two people intersect, heightened tension by foreshadowing an inevitable turbulence.
On this day, the suspicious side of Geumjo Chairman Jang Geum-mo (played by Nae-sang Ahn) was also revealed. Previously, Jeong Yoo-seon (played by Yang Seo-bin), the head nurse at Hanul Psychiatric Hospital, told Go Hae-soo about Oh Young's existence, but was kidnapped by Kim Seon-deok. Kim Seon-deok learned that the person who instigated Jeong Yoo-seon was Eom Sang-bae (Seong Chang-hoon), Jang Geum-mo's chief of staff. It didn't end here. Jang Geum-mo also knew about the secret affair between Jang Do-jin (Park Ki-woong) and Hong Yu-ra (Han Soo-yeon), and shocked Pyo Jae-hyun (Lee Sang-yoon), who declared his candidacy, by spying on him and Pyo Jae-hyeon, saying that his weakness would be more expensive. The person behind Hong Tae-ra's fate manipulated Hong Yu-ra and gave new instructions to her by threatening her under the pretext of her secret relationship with Jang Do-jin. It heightened curiosity as to whether Jang Geum-mo might be the mysterious mastermind hidden behind a veil.
The secret behind the death of super chimpanzee Red was also revealed. Pyo Jae-hyun learns from Dr. Yang Se-jin (Go Yun-bin) at the 'Hatch' lab that the experiment failed as Red's brain damage began as an aftereffect of the smart patch. Pyo Jae-hyeon, who knew that the security guard (played by Beom-chan Lee), whose daughter was sick and needed money for surgery and treatment, received a bag of money from Kyung-rok Han (played by Jae-seong Jeong), told the guard to kill Red. Pyo Jae-hyun, who had to hide the side effects of the smart patch, removed the hard disk containing the record of Red's brain damage and burned it. It was a moment of heightened tension as the new face of Pyo Jae-hyun, a family husband, affectionate father, and ambitious man with a solid path in life, was revealed. And yet another twist unfolded. Jang Geum-mo, who obtained the hard disk before it was burned, handed over the record of Red's side effects to her son Jang Do-jin. Jang Do-jin, who learned of Pyo Jae-hyeon's secret, was greatly shocked.
Among these, Jang Do-jin tried to restore his broken relationship with Go Hae-soo. Under the pretense of being tired, he apologized for being indifferent to Go Hae-soo's father's case and also told Hong Yu-ra to break up. However, Hong Yu-ra was obsessed with Jang Do-jin. Moreover, it was shocking when it was revealed that Hong Yu-ra was also seeing Seong-chan Ko (played by Tae-gyu Bong). Hong Yura also started to move. Hong Yu-ra, who received new instructions from the mastermind, desperately searched for something without Seong-chan's knowledge, causing anxiety.
Meanwhile, episode 4 of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Pandora: Fabricated Paradise' will be broadcast at 9:10 pm today (19th).
