Eun Tae vs. Sun Hyuk: Sun Hyuk was once Eun Tae’s mentor before turning against him. Eun Tae helped him when he hit a crisis, but the new stills show tension returning. Eun Tae looks angry and conflicted, while Sun Hyuk wears a relaxed smile. The fallout of that act of kindness is now a big variable.
Yang Joon Ho loses his cool: Yang Joon Ho (Seo Hyun Woo) is known for friendly, smooth-talking client relationships. In the stills, he glares at a client while Park Ki Tae (Hong Jin Ki) struggles to hold him back. What pushed him over the edge is the big question.
The whistleblower is revealed: The truth behind the internal whistleblowing comes out, putting Jang Hyang Eun (Baek Yae In) in the spotlight.
