His coworkers are happy for him, but his ex-wife is mad and dances on a street sign pole to show it.

Lee Jong Kloo’s husband says that he and his wife fought over money and that after the fight, the woman went to stay with her friend Hoai.
Dr. Shin, who has trouble seeing people’s faces, confirms that the victim is the right person and is asked to help with the investigation. The victim’s best friend, Hoai, is an illegal immigrant.
