What’s at Stake in the Final Episode
After the video leak scandal involving Chu Sang Ah, her relationship with Bang Tae Seop has completely fractured. With the election approaching, they now confront each other over the Seo Young Sang case — once accomplices who covered up the incident together, they now stand in opposition, each holding damaging information about the other.
Having lost both his political foundation and financial backing, Bang Tae Seop now possesses materials on illegal funds from the opposing camp — and stands at the edge of a final counterattack by leaking them to the media. But such a decision could lead to irreversible consequences.
Meanwhile, the re-emergence of materials left behind by Hwang Jeong Won (Nana) — including black box footage and a list detailing illicit funds and connections between political and entertainment world figures — begins to rapidly crack the carefully maintained power structure around Lee Yang Mi.
The finale’s central question is pure political thriller tension at its finest: who blinks first, who burns everything down, and who walks out with the truth?
