'Secret Gratitude' has announced a proper start.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, on the 26th, the first episode of the tvN Saturday-Sunday drama 'Secret Gratitude' (script by Yeo Eun-ho, directed by Lee Soo-hyun), which premiered on the 25th, recorded a national average rating of 4.4% and a peak of 6.0% (based on paid platforms), ranking first in the same time slot among cable and general entertainment channels. In the 2049 male and female target demographic for tvN, it also ranked first in the same time slot based on both the Seoul metropolitan area and nationwide figures.

In the broadcast on that day, the scene depicted No Ki-jun (played by Gong Myung), an ace of the Audit Department, facing a major life upheaval. No Ki-jun, who had confidently resolved major corporate corruption cases and served as the face of the Audit Department, had been walking a smooth path in his life.

However, the unexpected arrival of the new Audit Department head, Joo Ah-ra (played by Shin Hye-sun), turned his life upside down in an instant. Just as another corruption audit was successfully handled and news of No Ki-jun's promotion was heard, his position was adjusted to the Audit Team 3, the lowest rank in the Audit Department and responsible for handling corporate gossip, by Joo Ah-ra's order. Joo Ah-ra, who makes every community of 'Haemu Group' buzz whenever she appears, is everyone's number one target to avoid. As the rumor goes, if you get marked by Joo Ah-ra, your corporate life will not be smooth, and No Ki-jun found it difficult to deal with her formidable presence.

The first case No Ki-jun was assigned was also not ordinary. A report came in regarding an inappropriate personal relationship between company employees, and the whistleblower, Young-hee (played by Park Ha-seon), asked for an investigation, suspecting her husband's infidelity. No Ki-jun went to the employees in question, confirmed the situation, and became convinced that it was not infidelity. Instead, he judged that Young-hee, who showed an overly sensitive reaction to trivial matters, was suffering from spousal paranoia.

However, Joo Ah-ra, who immediately grasped the strange atmosphere between the two employees, raised doubts about No Ki-jun's report, and soon a shocking fact was revealed. Young-hee's testimony had been entirely true. Young-hee had been threatening No Ki-jun while expressing her anger, and as No Ki-jun tried to avoid her, he fainted in Joo Ah-ra's arms.
