Do Hyeon-soo (Lee Joon-gi) who was a suspect for a murder 18 years ago but disappeared, was specified as the murderer of Nam Soon-gil (Lee Kyu-bok) and is being hunted by police. For Do Hyeon-soo who changed his identity to Baek Hee-seong, this is truly a crisis.

Do Hyeon-soo is walking on a tightrope, hiding his identity in front of his detective wife who is looking for the killer, not knowing that her husband Baek Hee-seong is him.

Lee Joon-gi depicts the difference between extremes in detail, doubling the level of immersion and allowing viewers to enter Baek Hee-seong's situation.

Also in the drama, Baek Hee-seong showed his feelings of happiness by practicing a wrinkling smile, lowering the corners of his mouth and blurring the focus of his eyes, revealing his feelings of sadness. These scenes, in which he practices various emotions and imitates facial expressions after watching a video lecture, were also perfectly portrayed by Lee Joon-gi's passionate performance, controlling changes in facial muscles.

As such, Lee Joon-gi's double acting as Do Hyeon-soo, who literally plays Baek Hee-seong, is completing the character in a more three-dimensional way. The mellow with Moon Chae-won (Cha Ji-won), the unexpected tikitaka with Seo Hyun-woo (Kim Moo-jin), Nam Gi-ae (Gong Mi-ja), and Son Jong-hak (Baek Man-woo), the expectation of what kind of acting spectrum he will show at the center of the story is rising.

 

Meanwhile, in the previous fourth episode, Cha Ji-won discovered her husband's watch chain, which she had given to him, at the scene of a crime in which she pursued an unidentified Do Hyeon-soo. With an unusual development predicted in her confused look, the tension in the unpredictable story about what cracks the budding suspicion rises.
