'A Trap Called Desire' Jang Seo-hee's twisted desire shook the fates of Jeon Hye-won and Joo Saebyeok.
On the 12th, episode 3 of KBS 2TV daily drama "A Trap Called Desire" (directed by Lee Dae-kyung, Jeong Gwang-su, written by Koo Ji-won) revealed the secret of Go Eun-seol's (Jeon Hye-won) birth and Joo Mi-ran's (Jang Seo-hee) hidden past rising to the surface, delivering a shocking twist.
After learning that she was not Park Hee-jung's (Suh You-jung) biological daughter, Go Eun-seol returned home after being discharged, but she had to endure the cold treatment of her grandmother Wang Geum-ja (Seo Kwon-sun). Nevertheless, Go Eun-seol stood her ground defiantly, saying, "I'm my parents' daughter and my brother's sister, where would I go!" and tried to keep the place where she belonged.
Watching her daughter go through a hard time, Park Hee-jung eventually decided to find Go Eun-seol's birth mother herself. But after the aftermath of the art room fire at school led to Go Eun-seol's suspension and then expulsion, she was driven to the brink once again.
To the distressed Go Eun-seol, Cha Seok-jin (Seol Junghwan) offered warm comfort and stayed by her side. Unlike the two, who were slowly opening their hearts to each other, Kang Hae-ra (Joo Saebyeok) could not hide her jealousy. In the end, Kang Hae-ra demanded that Joo Mi-ran have Go Eun-seol removed from the school, and the conflict between them deepened.
The most intense scene of the episode was the reunion between Park Hee-jung and Joo Mi-ran. When Park Hee-jung happened to run into Joo Mi-ran at school, she immediately recognized that Joo Mi-ran had once lived under the name "Joo Ae-sook." Facing the risk of her past being exposed, Joo Mi-ran acted calm, but Park Hee-jung did not back down.
Park Hee-jung said, "Even if I erased all your past, there's one thing I can't erase. The daughter you gave birth to," directly confronting the long-hidden past Joo Mi-ran had kept.
But Joo Mi-ran denied it to the end, saying, "I said I'm not Joo Ae-sook, I'm Joo Mi-ran. I erased both my name and my past. I gave birth to a child? When? Do you have proof?" Joo Mi-ran's demeanor, showing not a flicker of agitation even in a situation that might shake her, felt all the more chilling.
On top of that, Joo Mi-ran learning that Park Hee-jung was Go Eun-seol's guardian added another layer of tension. Knowing that her past and present could be connected, all eyes turned to what choice Joo Mi-ran would make.
In the end, Park Hee-jung had DNA tests conducted on Joo Mi-ran and Go Eun-seol. But the results overturned everyone's expectations: the two people's genes did not match. Park Hee-jung, who had been convinced that Joo Mi-ran was Go Eun-seol's biological mother, was shocked, and viewers were left confused as well.
At the end of the broadcast, another significant scene appeared. While shopping with Kang Hae-ra, a clerk told Joo Mi-ran, "Your daughter takes after you; she's a beauty." Joo Mi-ran's failure to deny it only deepened the mystery.
With the DNA results showing Joo Mi-ran was not Go Eun-seol's biological mother and Joo Mi-ran's attitude of not denying she was a daughter, the secret surrounding Go Eun-seol's birth sank further into mystery. The twist ending, which overturned what was believed to be the truth in an instant, heightened curiosity about future developments.
