On Channel A's "Detectives' trade secrets," a tragic fate client asking to find their mother, who they were separated from 40 years ago at the age of 6, appeared. Additionally, guest '2002 Taegeuk Warrior' Kim Nam-il was outraged by the true story of a 'cheating wife' and 'mama's boy husband' who almost faced disaster due to conflicts between mothers-in-law and daughters-in-law.

In the 'Detective 24/7' segment of Channel A's "Detectives' trade secrets" aired on the 21st, a request was received to find a mother who was expelled after being falsely accused of "being careless with her body." According to the client, the mother had to play the breadwinner role in place of the father, who went to prison 40 years ago, and was expelled by her grandmother after being witnessed delivering food to a motel, leading to a separation from her children. After being released from prison, the father drank daily and lamented his situation, even committing the horrific act of taking the life of the client's younger sister, who was 4 years old at that time.

The client attempted to find their mother 20 years ago, but gave up that effort for fear it might harm their mother, who may have formed another family. While making this request, the client noted, "If I find my mother, I want to thank her for giving birth to me by making a warm seaweed soup and buying her pretty clothes. I just want to see her once," bursting into tears and eliciting sympathy.

The Baekho Detective Group, upon receiving the request, confirmed the name, date of birth, and origin from the mother's family registry document, which the client's aunt had kept for a long time. The client's testimony also secured that the mother had worked as a seamstress due to the influence of the grandmother, who ran a hanbok shop. Immediately, the Baekho Detective Group set out to inquire and was able to meet a resident who was a cousin from the mother's stated origin. The mother's cousin began the story, saying, "This might take a while. That person is..." It remains to be seen whether the cousin knows anything about the client's mother and whether the Baekho Detective Group will be able to find her, continuing on next week's "Detectives' trade secrets."

In the re-enactment segment 'Case Notebook,' a request was received from a mother-in-law saying, "My daughter-in-law is having an affair with a foreigner behind my son, who is a dentist." The son claimed, "No," but the mother-in-law was convinced of her daughter-in-law's infidelity. As a result of the detective group's investigation, the suspected affair partner of the wife turned out to be a foreign medical tourism broker hired by the son. Although the incident seemed to end as a mishap stemming from the mother-in-law's suspicion, a surprising twist awaited. The wife was actually having an affair with the broker and ran away with money from her husband's account. At the location the husband and detective group went to, the wife was found in a state of undress with the foreign broker.

It turned out the wife was filling the emptiness created by her indifferent husband, who did not properly mediate the severe conflicts with her mother-in-law, through an affair. When the mistreatment and contempt that the daughter-in-law encountered from her mother-in-law were revealed, 'single guy' Defconn conveyed a desperate message to his future wife, saying, "Honey, my mom isn't that kind of person. Don't misunderstand. We'll meet someday…" Ultimately, the husband accepted his wife back after she betrayed him, declaring his independence from his mother. Yoon In-na concluded the episode by relaying the Western proverb that "a mother-in-law is bitter even if made of sugar," noting, "What the wife wanted was not a sweet in-law, but a husband who would always be on her side, and it's fortunate the husband realized this, even if belatedly."

Meanwhile, in this broadcast, '2002 World Cup semi-final star' Kim Nam-il participated as a guest in the 'Case Notebook' and as a one-day detective. Kim Nam-il expressed shock over a shocking incident, stating, "Those Xs deserve a good beating," invoking 'Wook Nam-il.' He also shared a '19+ anecdote' from when he had a forced long-distance newlywed life with his wife, Kim Bo-min, due to a transfer to a Russian club. He recounted, "When I came to Korea after a long time and was about to get hot in the car with my wife, suddenly the road patrol appeared," showcasing his blunt humor. Defconn chimed in, "That's the road patrol's fault," eliciting laughter.

'Detectives' trade secrets,' a reality detective drama, airs every Monday at 9:30 p.m. on Channel A.
