*Spoilers!
Yu Mi Rae and Yu Mi Ji Trade Places
After Mi Rae reaches her breaking point in the high-stress world of corporate politics, Mi Ji decides to step in for her sister. Mi Rae, in turn, leaves the city behind to take on Mi Ji’s quieter life on a strawberry farm. This life switch sets the stage for deep character growth as they confront each other’s realities.
Mi Ji Faces a Moral Dilemma at Work
While working in Mi Rae’s place, Mi Ji is assigned a sensitive task: convincing an elderly restaurant owner to give up her land for a redevelopment project. Mi Ji soon discovers the unethical nature of the deal through Mi Rae’s notes. Instead of pushing the company’s agenda, she encourages the owner to make her own decision, showing a rare sense of empathy in a cutthroat business world.
Mi Rae Finds Herself in the Countryside
Meanwhile, Mi Rae struggles to adjust to rural life. She meets Han Se Jin (played by Ryu Kyung Soo), who offers her space and respect rather than strict guidance. Although overwhelmed at first, Mi Rae begins to appreciate the slower pace and regains a sense of purpose that her city life had erased.
Lee Ho Su Suspects Something’s Off
Park Jinyoung’s character, Lee Ho Su, becomes increasingly suspicious of Mi Ji’s presence at the company. He’s investigating a whistleblower case linked to Mi Rae’s department and starts noticing inconsistencies in Mi Ji’s behaviour. By the end of the episode, he confronts her directly, hinting at an upcoming twist.
