Seol In-ah reached a turning point when her secret of dressing as a man was discovered by Im Si-wan.

According to Nielsen Korea, the ratings survey company, Episode 8 of tvN’s Monday-Tuesday drama “My Guilty Human” (screenplay by Moon Soo-jung / directed by Park Dan-hee / planned by CJ ENM Studios / produced by Pitapat Studio), which aired on the 10th, recorded an average rating of 5.4% and a peak of 6.9% nationwide, and an average of 5.3% and a peak of 6.6% in the metropolitan area. This marked its eighth consecutive week as the top-rated program in the same time slot among cable and pay-TV channels. In the 2049 demographic (men and women aged 20 to 49), which is tvN’s target audience, the drama ranked first in the same time slot across all channels, including terrestrial broadcasters, both nationwide and in the metropolitan area (based on paid platforms integrating cable, IPTV, and satellite).

In that day’s broadcast, a significant turning point was created in the relationship between Yoon I-jun (played by Im Si-wan) and Kang Jae-hee (played by Seol In-ah) when Yoon learned Kang’s true gender.

It was later revealed with surprise that behind the commotion at the business event lay a meticulous operation involving Yoon I-jun, Kang Jae-hee, Kim Si-hyeon (played by Kim Jung-hyun), and Lee Hye-jung (played by Yeon Woo). The four had captured suspicious circumstances involving Yoon Na-jeong (played by Park A-in), vice president of Taekwang Group, and Na Man-seok (played by Jo Seung-yeon), head of the presidential office, through Bank of Korea Young’s (played by Jung Yu-min) recording pen. To provoke the mastermind behind the scenes, they leaked information to the police about the existence of the recording pen and that Yoon I-jun possessed it, which had put Yoon I-jun and Lee Hye-jung in danger.

However, even though throwing out the bait was intentional, Yoon I-jun was left to deal with its aftermath. The belt he received via a quick delivery service reminded him of his mother’s suicide and Bank of Korea Young’s death. Furthermore, when Kang Jae-hee tracked the movements of the quick delivery courier together with members of the criminal investigation division, it emerged that the person who had ordered the delivery was Yoon Na-jeong, deepening suspicions toward her.

Na Man-seok, head of the presidential office, also displayed equally suspicious behavior. When a CCTV video of Yoon I-jun saving Kang Jae-hee became a topic online, Na criticized Yoon’s actions in front of Taekwang Group Chairman Yoon Tae-sik (played by Choi Jin-ho). However, he deliberately omitted reporting that this had resulted in a massive promotional effect, raising doubts.

Meanwhile, Kang Jae-hee worried Yoon I-jun after chasing the quick delivery courier and discovering that Yoon Na-jeong was behind the scenes. Having sensed for some time that Yoon’s feelings for her went beyond simple fondness, Kang drew a line by telling Yoon, who was looking out for her safety, that protecting him was her duty as his executive assistant. Yet she found herself caught in complex and subtle emotions.

The precarious relationship between the two was greatly shaken by Yoon I-jun’s sudden, tender confession. Yoon said that he had been accustomed to hiding his emotions since childhood, but after meeting Kang Jae-hee, it had become difficult to conceal his feelings, and asked, “If we were a man and a woman, would you have liked me?” However, Kang Jae-hee, a detective working undercover as a male executive assistant, resolved to push Yoon away because of her circumstances. She told him she felt no flutter at all, inflicting a deep wound on Yoon I-jun.

Subsequently, in an awkward atmosphere, Yoon I-jun and Kang Jae-hee set off together to attend the memorial service for Yoon’s mother. They were involved in a traffic accident without time to react due to a sudden brake failure in their vehicle. Then, as someone approached the unconscious Yoon I-jun and stole the recording pen, Kang Jae-hee engaged in a physical struggle with the culprit. She collapsed on the spot only after the suspect fled at the sound of a police car.

Yoon I-jun, who regained consciousness later, immediately went looking for Kang Jae-hee first. At that moment, he froze upon hearing an emergency medical technician say that Kang Jae-hee was a woman. The situation was one in which Kang Jae-hee, whom he had liked so much, had been deceiving him. Curiosity is mounting as to how Yoon I-jun will react to this unbelievable truth and what changes will come to the relationship between the two.
