Yum Jung-ah revealed hidden desires, showcasing a breathtaking development and intense emotional lines in The Defects.
The 5th episode of The Defects, aired on May 4, featured Kim Ah-hyun (Won Jina) at a crossroads between life and death, captured by Kim Se-hee (Yum Jung-ah) and Jeong-hyeon (Kim Jin-young). In particular, the shocking truth that Se-hee is Ah-hyun's biological mother and the one who 'refunded' her in the past was unveiled, delivering a shock to viewers.
Se-hee, who maintained a cold and ruthless attitude even after reuniting with her daughter Ah-hyun, exhibited a crazed demeanor as she even attempted to eliminate her. However, the situation took a turn with the arrival of the children who came to rescue Ah-hyun, who was trapped in a drum and screaming. The children took Se-hee's daughter (Kim Ji-an) hostage and proposed an exchange for Ah-hyun, forcing Se-hee to ultimately release her. Yet, Se-hee sensed that the children were preparing for revenge against their foster parents due to this incident, raising curiosity about future developments.
The children who escaped from Se-hee sought to raise funds for Ah-hyun's medical expenses by visiting the church run by Ah-hyun's foster father, Yoon Se-hoon. During this process, the painful past of Joo-an (An Ji-ho), who had been abused and ultimately disowned for being a sexual minority, was revealed, evoking sympathy from viewers.
Meanwhile, Se-hee's shocking plan was revealed as she met with the First Lady (Han Soo-yeon) along with her daughter. She intended to create a 'perfect child' by fertilizing her own eggs with the president's sperm. Not only that, but her ambition to manipulate the world using Kwon Gang-man (Son Jong-hak) and Yoon Se-hoon was also disclosed, causing astonishment.
Having dramatically survived, Ah-hyun decided not to live in hiding anymore and confronted her challenges head-on. The children also continued their unfinished revenge, pulling the trigger of anger once more toward the true faces hidden by their foster parents, which heightened the tension in the drama. At the end of the broadcast, Se-hee used Jeong-hyeon to systematically remove obstacles in her path, and her face, smiling while looking at her reflection on the screen, left a chilling impression and a deep aftertaste.
