Park Jin Hee detected evidence suggesting her sister's death was a homicide, marking the beginning of a revenge saga.
On the 25th, episode 3 of the KBS 2TV daily drama "Red Pearl" (directed by Kim Seong-geun, written by Kim Seo-jeong) hinted that the person who killed Kim Myeong-hee (played by Park Jin Hee) was Oh Jeong-ran (played by Kim Hee-jeong ), delivering an unrelenting, shocking plot that captivated viewers. Episode 3, which aired that day, recorded an 8.7% viewership rating (Nielsen Korea, nationwide households), continuing its smooth run. In particular, the premiere on the 23rd recorded a 9.0% viewership rating, the highest for a KBS 2TV daily drama in two years, giving it a strong start.
In yesterday's broadcast, the harrowing scene of twin sister Kim Dan-hee (played by Park Jin Hee) discovering that the unborn child of the deceased Kim Myeong-hee was alive was portrayed. Although she could not protect her sister, she and Dr. Baek Jun-gi (played by Namsung Jin) launched an emergency surgery to save her niece. However, Baek Jun-gi's wife, who was already about to give birth, was in the operating room, and in the tense situation with no margin for error, two mothers lay in the same operating room as delivery and surgery proceeded simultaneously, unfolding a breathless sequence of events.
Nurse Kim Dan-hee assisted Baek Jun-gi and both mothers safely gave birth, and the fateful birth of the two children born on the same day and at the same time raised expectations about what great storm they might bring in the future. After the emergency situation ended, Dan-hee could not hide her devastation and sobbed in front of her sister's cold corpse, moving viewers to tears.
At that moment, Baek Jun-gi discovered a suspicious bruise on Kim Myeong-hee's neck and raised the possibility of homicide. Earlier, after witnessing Oh Jeong-ran and Song Geun-tae (played by Lee Myeong-ho) in front of Park Tae-ho's villa, Kim Dan-hee sensed that the two were the culprits and vowed a vengeful promise, saying, "I will find those people and kill them." But she soon collapsed from exhaustion, evoking pity.
Meanwhile, Oh Jeong-ran and Song Geun-tae added to the suspense as their clandestine and chilling conversation revealed their involvement in Kim Myeong-hee's death. Oh Jeong-ran confessed the murder to her husband, Park Tae-ho (played by Choi Jae-seong), in an attempt to cover up the incident, and Park Tae-ho, who was about to sign a store-in contract between Adel Group and Wooju Department Store, worried about damage to the corporate image and, as she wished to bury the case, showed meticulousness by even mobilizing detectives.
Song Geun-tae, who returned to Park Tae-ho's villa to check whether the incident had been properly taken care of, was horrified to find that the body had disappeared. After inquiries, Song Geun-tae learned that Myeong-hee's child was alive and immediately reported this to Oh Jeong-ran, who, with relentless malice, tried to take the child as well, creating an imminent crisis.
In the show's final moments, Kim Dan-hee, realizing that Oh Jeong-ran and Song Geun-tae were pursuing the child, made a desperate escape with the child with the help of her friend Jeong Yun-jeong (played by Ha Jae-sook) and Baek Jun-gi, delivering a gripping "breath-stopping ending."
