A Trap Called Desire star Jeon Hye-won sharpened the blade of revenge aimed at Joo Mi-ran.
On the 17th, episode 6 of the KBS 2TV daily drama A Trap Called Desire (directed by Lee Dae-kyung, Jung Kwang-soo; written by Goo Ji-won) depicted the tragic fate of Go Eun-seol (played by Jeon Hye-won), who lost her foster mother Park Hee-jung (played by Suh You-jung) due to a plot by Joo Mi-ran (played by Jang Seo-hee) and was framed for murder. The episode recorded a nationwide household rating of 7.1% (provided by Nielsen Korea), continuing its upward trend.
That day Go Eun-seol was swept up in Joo Mi-ran's scheme and was driven to the brink in an instant. Foster mother Park Hee-jung lost her life at the end of a plot devised by Joo Mi-ran, and Go Eun-seol was arrested on murder charges before she had any time to grieve.
Even the building security guard who was at the scene testified that Go Eun-seol pushed Park Hee-jung, and all circumstances pointed to her as the perpetrator. In the end, Go Eun-seol stood trial for a murder she did not commit.
Go Eun-seol cried out in anguish, pleading, Please believe me! I'm really not the one! Why would I kill my mother, why, and insisted on her innocence. But Joo Mi-ran appeared calm as if her scheme had succeeded, and the stark contrast between the two women heightened the tension.
In the end, what remained for Go Eun-seol was the horrific stigma of being a "killer of a close relative." Convicted of killing her foster mother, imprisoned, and stripped of the ordinary life she once had, the wrongful imprisonment even stole her youth.
But Go Eun-seol did not collapse. Rather than blaming the world that labeled her a murderer, she steeled herself with the resolve to reclaim her stolen life and uncover the truth. Enduring a long time, Go Eun-seol prepared her revenge, leaving a deep impression.
Five years passed. Joo Mi-ran secured her place as the most trusted right-hand of Kim Jung-sun (played by Yoon Hae-young) and expanded her influence within Cheongma Group.
Cha Seok-jin (played by Seol Junghwan) and Kang Hae-ra (played by Joo Saebyeok), who were studying abroad, faced expulsion when Kang Hae-ra submitted a classmate's design as her graduation project. When Kang Young-hoon (played by Yoo Tae-woong) learned of this, he was enraged, and Kang Hae-ra was ultimately summoned to the company.
At that moment Joo Mi-ran stepped in personally to resolve Kang Hae-ra's problem, once again asserting her presence. Later, Joo Mi-ran took the position of head of public relations at the Cheongma Scholarship Foundation and plunged deeper into Cheongma Group, beginning to reveal her hidden ambitions in earnest.
At the end of the broadcast, Go Eun-seol grabbed attention by being released on parole. After enduring long injustice, Go Eun-seol left a meaningful message, Now the real beginning, predicting her revenge.
