Lee Jung-eun can be also seen physically accosting the male lead Bong Tae-gyu, although her expressions give the idea that she is not a particularly threatening character, just very physically brash and loud. This tonal clash comes after a previous episode where the female lead, played by Park Jin-hee, discovered the source of a threatening letter relating to a conspiracy involving her family as well as a suicide.
The production company has confirmed that Lee Jung-eun's character will play a critical role in resolving this incident. However, her role is specifically described as a special appearance - suggesting that she will assist the lead characters with some important information related to the case before bowing out.
