00:00The story begins by introducing a beautiful woman named Heejoo, who works as a sign language
00:08interpreter at a media company. At first glance, she seems perfect. Not only is she beautiful,
00:15but her personality is also gentle and kind. However, Heejoo cannot speak. She communicates
00:22with others through sign language. Heejoo's life is far from ideal, as she is married to a man who
00:28does not love her. Their marriage is merely a contract. Though they have been married for
00:33three years, they live as if they are strangers, sharing the same house only for formality's sake.
00:39There is no warmth or intimacy between them as husband and wife. Her husband, San, works as a
00:46government spokesperson, a role that requires him to maintain a polished public image. His eloquence
00:52and skill in handling political matters are unquestionable. He is a master in his field.
00:57In stark contrast, Heejoo, who lives with a disability, struggles with communication,
01:02which seems to have created a void between them. Their marriage feels cold and lifeless.
01:08It was revealed that San secretly harbors resentment toward their marriage,
01:13not only because of their communication gap, but also because he was originally supposed to marry
01:18Heejoo's older sister, Hong Inah. However, a day before the wedding, Inah ran away,
01:23leaving Heejoo to take her place as the bride. Eventually, Heejoo became nothing more than a
01:29substitute bride, forced into the situation. She even had to sign a prenuptial agreement that
01:35prohibited her from seeking a divorce or doing anything her husband or his family disapproved of.
01:40One fateful day, after meeting her in-laws and her own mother, something unexpected happened.
01:46While driving home, Heejoo's car suddenly became uncontrollable. The speed increased on its own,
01:53the radio turned on without warning, and the heavy rain made the situation even worse.
01:59Her mind raced back to a report she once translated about car hacking. Everything she had learned about
02:04car hacking was now happening to her. Acting quickly, Heejoo searched for an empty road to stop
02:10the car, but a man in a raincoat, hat, and black mask approached her. Panic set in as Heejoo tried to
02:17lock the car doors, but the hacker managed to unlock them again. The man easily entered her car
02:22and contacted San, threatening to kill Heejoo unless he received a ransom. To her shock,
02:29San responded in an unexpected way. He told the kidnapper to go ahead and kill her if the threat
02:34was real. At that moment, San assumed the entire situation was a scam designed to manipulate him
02:41during the tense political climate before the presidential election. He didn't care about Heejoo's
02:46life, a realization that broke her heart. Overwhelmed with pain and anger, Heejoo, who had always been
02:52thought to be mute, screamed and demanded the kidnapper call her husband again. For the first
02:58time, Heejoo spoke. Her first words were curses directed at her husband. She couldn't believe how
03:04heartless San was, treating her life as if it had no value. Tears streamed down her face as she pressed
03:10the gas pedal hard, causing the car to hit a speed bump and spin out of control before veering off
03:16the road. Eventually, the car crashed into a ditch. When she returned home, Heejoo was still in shock from
03:23the ordeal. She quickly wanted to clean herself up. Though she survived the incident, the terror and
03:29memory of the kidnapper lingered in her mind. Looking in the mirror, she saw bruises on her temple
03:35and neck. Not wanting anyone to know what had happened, Heejoo treated her wounds in silence,
03:41trying to piece herself back together. Meanwhile, after finishing a press conference,
03:46San rushed home, feeling uneasy about his wife's whereabouts. He finally felt relieved upon seeing
03:52Heejoo safe and sound, preparing dinner in the kitchen. Soon after, San invited his wife to accompany
03:59him to an event at the British Embassy. At first, Heejoo hesitated but eventually agreed, not as his wife
04:06but as his sign language interpreter. Though they appeared to be a perfect couple to outsiders,
04:12even earning compliments from the ambassador, Heejoo firmly clarified that they were not truly husband
04:17and wife. To make matters worse, San referred to Heejoo as just a translator, adding that his wife was
04:24his weakness. Hearing his words crushed Heejoo's spirits. She turned to alcohol to calm her frustration
04:30and left San alone to clear her mind. She headed to the restroom, while San received another call from
04:36the same mysterious individual. This time, the threat sounded far more serious, and for the first
04:42time, San felt genuine fear. He worried that his wife, Heejoo, might actually be in danger. The phone
04:50conversation grew tense as the caller delved into San's personal life, pressuring him to abandon Heejoo
04:57as collateral to secure his father's political campaign. The caller even brought up Heejoo's near-death
05:03experience the previous day, pointing out San's indifference toward her safety. The caller gave him
05:08until the next day to make a decision before abruptly ending the call. Unbeknownst to San, the caller was
05:15none other than Heejoo herself. Using a voice changer to mimic a man's voice and a spoof number
05:21from her supposed kidnapper, Heejoo revealed secrets about their marriage through the call.
05:26When San realized how much the caller seemed to know about his private life, he grew increasingly
05:31frustrated. Overcome with anger, he punched a wall, injuring his hand. Sensing her husband's sudden
05:38change in demeanor, Heejoo panicked and tried to slip away unnoticed when she exited the restroom.
05:44However, San stopped her and led her to a dimly lit room, asking if there was anything she was
05:50hiding from him regarding the accident she had the previous night. Upon learning that Heejoo had
05:55indeed experienced something terrible, San felt a pang of guilt. When he noticed the bruises on her neck
06:01and temple, he promised to find the perpetrator and urged her to report anything suspicious to him.
06:07He also decided to hire a personal bodyguard to ensure her safety.
06:11Shortly after, San's assistant, Doje, informed him that the perpetrator appeared to belong to a
06:17skilled organization, as they used IP addresses that changed every 10 minutes. San then instructed
06:23Doje to review the guest list from the embassy event, suspecting that the perpetrator might have
06:28been present and had detailed knowledge about his family, his activities, and even the event's menu.
06:33Meanwhile, at home, Heejoo replayed her recorded conversation with San, feeling satisfied that
06:40she had successfully instilled fear in him. She planned to use the phone calls to achieve her
06:45ultimate goal, divorce. However, San returned home earlier than expected, startling Heejoo. He announced
06:52that he wanted to inspect her car after the accident. While checking, he found little evidence except for
06:58the car seat, which had been slashed with a sharp object. On the other hand, Heejoo suddenly remembered
07:04that she had cursed out loud during the incident. Panicked, she realized that the dashboard camera
07:09might have recorded her voice, exposing her secret that she wasn't actually mute. Rushing to the parking
07:16area, Heejoo found San still inspecting the car. To her relief, it seemed that he hadn't found
07:22anything suspicious on the camera. San then asked Doje to review CCTV footage from around the accident
07:29site to uncover any further clues. Not long after, San asked Heejoo how she planned to get home since
07:36her car was no longer usable. It was revealed that shortly after the accident, both Heejoo and the
07:42perpetrator had fainted after crashing into a road barrier. Fearing the arrival of the police,
07:47the perpetrator fled as soon as he regained consciousness. In his haste, the perpetrator
07:53left behind his phone. Seeing this, Heejoo called a towing service, and it was then that she noticed
07:59the perpetrator's phone was left in her car. Hearing this, San advised Heejoo to take some time
08:05off work. But she explained that she already had an appointment the next day to work as a sign
08:10language interpreter for a plaintiff who was mute in court. The next day, after finishing her work at
08:15the courthouse, Heejoo was startled by the sudden appearance of a man while she was in the restroom.
08:21Frightened, she hid herself. Her bodyguard, unable to find her near the restroom, assumed she had been
08:27kidnapped. However, the man Heejoo encountered turned out to be her former college senior,
08:32Sangwoo. The two appeared close, despite having not seen each other for years. Not only that,
08:38a photo of Sangwoo with Heejoo triggered jealousy and saw on, as Sangwoo was both handsome and charismatic.
08:44At that moment, Sangwoo seemed genuinely happy to meet Heejoo again, especially as he mentioned that
08:51he would soon be working on a TV program at the station where she was employed. Sangwoo was also
08:56fluent in sign language, which allowed him to communicate effortlessly with Heejoo. After
09:01exchanging phone numbers, Heejoo bid him farewell. Meanwhile, San reviewed the CCTV footage, but it
09:08provided little information as some areas of the road were not captured. At the same time,
09:13Doje had already checked all the guests at the embassy event, confirming they were official
09:17invitees, making it impossible for an intruder to sneak in. In the end, San instructed Doje not to
09:24spread any news about his wife, as the public was still unaware of her identity, which he had
09:30deliberately kept secret. During a meeting, San found himself distracted by the thought of Heejoo's
09:36closeness to Sangwoo. He began considering assigning her a job as a translator at the presidential office.
09:42When Heejoo arrived home, she was surprised by her mother's visit. Her mother brought along fertility
09:48tonics and revealing outfits, insisting that Heejoo should be a devoted wife to San and fulfill all his
09:55needs. Apparently, her mother didn't want their marriage to fail, as it would negatively impact the
10:01business ties between their families. However, in reality, Heejoo and San had never even shared a bed.
10:08Heejoo felt helpless because her mother always used the well-being of her father, who lived in a nursing
10:14home, to pressure her into complying. Deep inside, Heejoo longed to escape this marriage, which felt more
10:21like a prison. Wearing the outfit her mother had given her, Heejoo boldly used the perpetrator's phone to
10:27call San again. San questioned how the caller knew about his marriage to Heejoo, as this was a secret
10:33known only to their closest family members. As a result, San refused to negotiate with the caller.
10:40However, Heejoo sent a seductive photo of herself to convince San that the perpetrator knew intimate
10:45details about their married life, including a mole on her thigh. She even threatened to release the photo
10:51to the public. When Heejoo arrived home, she felt anxious, worrying that San might inspect the mole
10:59she had just mentioned. However, San only wanted to talk about a job opportunity at the presidential
11:04office. He told her that if she wished to continue working, she should work by his side. San then
11:10reminisced about three years ago, during the early days of their marriage. Back then, Heejoo had tried her
11:17best to fulfill her duties as a wife, as her mother had advised. Yet, San constantly ignored her and
11:23insisted they shouldn't think of themselves as husband and wife. Over time, both of them grew distant,
11:30behaving like strangers despite living under the same roof. The next morning, San showed a surprising
11:37change in behavior. He prepared breakfast and asked about the man Heejoo had met at court. Meanwhile,
11:43on his first day at work, Sang-woo was introduced to his colleague Yoo-ri, a charming and friendly
11:48news reporter. While this was happening, San remained preoccupied and frustrated, as all analyses
11:54of the perpetrator, ranging from voice profiles to personality and criminal records, failed to yield
12:00any leads. Do-jae, however, grew suspicious about how the perpetrator had easily entered Heejoo's car
12:07during the earlier abduction attempt. Later, Heejoo visited her father at the nursing home. He had been
12:13suffering from dementia ever since his wife left him to marry a wealthy man. Unable to communicate
12:19with him, Heejoo poured out her exhaustion, expressing her frustration at living in the shadow of Inna and
12:26being forced to remain silent despite wanting to break free from it all. One evening, Heejoo tried
12:32calling San again, but he asked her to call back in five minutes. Minutes turned into hours, and San still
12:39could not be reached, leaving Heejoo restless with worry. When she got home, she waited for San to
12:45return. However, as midnight approached, San was still not back. Exhausted, Heejoo fell asleep on the
12:52sofa while waiting for him. The story then flashes back to three years ago, just days before San's
12:59wedding to Inna. At that time, San and Inna had mutually agreed to call off the wedding, as they had no
13:06feelings for each other. San proposed that Heejoo take Inna's place at the wedding, as the marriage was
13:12crucial and couldn't be canceled. He even asked Inna to leave for a while and keep the situation a secret
13:18from the public. It appeared that Inna's sudden disappearance had been orchestrated by San all along.
13:24Returning to the present, San's thoughts at work were scattered, especially when he received a call
13:30from the perpetrator. While his team was tracing the caller, a suspicious man arrived carrying a food
13:36package, which turned out to contain explosives. The blast destroyed an entire floor of the building.
13:43Fortunately, there were no casualties. San, however, was injured and rushed to the hospital. The next day,
13:50San checked on Heejoo's condition through his bodyguard, who confirmed that she was safe.
13:55Determined to uncover the identity of the perpetrator, San reviewed CCTV footage. However,
14:02Doje advised him against reporting the incident to the police to avoid drawing media attention.
14:08Despite being hooked to Inna 4, San insisted on returning home. Meanwhile, Heejoo was watching
14:14television when the news of the explosion at her husband's office flashed across the screen.
14:19Moments later, San arrived home, looking disheveled and injured, leaving Heejoo shocked and trembling.
14:27At that moment, San confronted Heejoo about the oddities in their marriage lately, demanding answers.
14:33He even tried to check the mole on her thigh, believing it might hold a clue to the identity of
14:37the perpetrator. Suspicious, San wondered if the caller was someone who had been physically close to Heejoo
14:43before. However, when San attempted to lift her skirt, Heejoo firmly refused and shifted the focus
14:50to his injuries from the explosion. Heejoo found herself in a dilemma, should she admit to sending
14:55the photo that had caused this problem. Unsure of how the situation had spiraled out of control,
15:01she chose to remain silent, pretending not to understand San's intentions. She reminded him that
15:07they were both victims and shouldn't be doubting each other. Eventually, San abandoned the idea of
15:13inspecting her mole and apologized for making her uncomfortable. Later, Doje called San with new
15:19information, suggesting that the case might be linked to a series of arson attacks over the past six
15:24months, which had terrorized the area near the building and the police were still chasing the suspects.
15:30Knowing this, San began to suspect that there were two perpetrators involved,
15:35as the explosion had occurred while one of them was on the phone with him. To be cautious,
15:39San inspected Heejoo's phone, wondering if it had been compromised. Before leaving the house,
15:45he advised Heejoo to be extra careful. After he left, Heejoo retrieved the perpetrator's phone
15:51and deleted the photo she had sent to her husband. Meanwhile, tensions between Heejoo's mother and
15:57mother-in-law were evident during a visit to the shooting range with their husbands. Heejoo's stepfather
16:02praised San as an exceptional spokesperson with strong integrity, much like his grandfather,
16:07Jang-ho. In another part of town, a man in his 40s was seen preparing fish for a meal. He appeared to
16:14be connected to the perpetrator of the explosion as he discussed the incident over the phone. However,
16:20his identity remained a mystery. Not long after, while examining his wife's phone, San accidentally
16:26came across messages between Heejoo and Sang-woo. One of the messages included a photo from their past,
16:33taken with friends at an orphanage. San soon discovered that Sang-woo had invited Heejoo out
16:39for a meal that day. Meanwhile, at work, Sang-woo discussed mysterious incidents from his past with
16:45the TV station's program team, intending to feature them in their upcoming show. During the discussion,
16:51he briefly mentioned an orphanage where he had grown up, being an orphan himself for the past 20 years.
16:57In the end, Sang-woo shared a peculiar memory from his childhood. One day, Sang-woo had wandered into a
17:03grand mansion near the orphanage, owned by a wealthy family. There, he met a boy of the same age from Seoul.
17:11Despite the boys' strange demeanor, they became friends and played together almost daily. However,
17:18one day, Sang-woo witnessed a horrifying incident at the mansion, which shocked him so deeply that he
17:23vowed never to return. Unfortunately, Sang-woo didn't get to finish his story, as his workday ended,
17:29and he remembered his dinner plans with Heejoo. After receiving updates on the explosive material,
