Synopsis

[Beginning]

Yoo Jihye is the Chief Financial Officer of JeJe Hair Salon, and illegal private loan organization disguised as a beauty parlor. She makes the worst mistake of her life when she mistakenly transfers $10 million dollars from the organization to her friend Park Dasom. To make matters worse, Park Dasom disappears, and she loses contact with her. After many twists and turns, she finds Dasom again, but what is going on? Dasom has turned into a cold, lifeless body. The whereabouts of the $10 million are unknown.

 

 

[Middle]

Choi Seonho is investigating the murder of Park Dasom. He comes face to face with a person who was caught at the crime scene under suspicious circumstances. Oh my god. The suspect is none other than Yoo Jihye, his first love who disappeared without a word 9 years ago. For a moment he is happy, but he has a feeling Jihye is hiding something.

 

Jihye has to risk her life to find the $10 million. She steals the burner phone that Dasom had been using at the scene of the crime. Then, a call comes to that phone. The strange, altered voice coming through the phone identifies itself as Snowman. Jihye realizes that Snowman killed Dasom and stole the $10 million.

 


 

Synopsis

Meanwhile, the first suspect in Park Dasoms murder is questioned and commits suicide the next day. A flurry of public opinion deems it a coercive investigation. Seonho, who arrested a suspect prematurely, falls victim to public opinion and is placed on standby.

 

At the same time, Jihye finds circumstantial evidence that the money was transferred from Park Dasoms account and visits the home of the account holder, only to find that its a den for escaped convicts. Jihye is on the verge of being caught and violated by them.

 

A flash of crisis. At that moment, Choi Seonho breaks in through the window. He tries to rescue Jihye but is caught off guard by a knife flying toward him. Jihye throws herself in front of the knife.

 

Through this, Seonho learns Jihyes secret. Perjury, destruction of evidence, a criminal gang, etc Seonho struggles not to arrest her immediately. Having lived as a police officer his entire life, he eventually decides he will arrest Yoo Jihye, his first love and the criminal who saved his life, later. Then, the two begin to hunt the Snowman together.

 

Meanwhile, another suspect in Park Dasoms murder is caught. When Park Dasoms finger is found in his house, the police take him away. However, hes not the real culprit. Only Jihye and Seonho seem to realize that fact. Then, who is Snowman, the real culprit who killed Dasom? After struggling to find the answer together, the two find clues about Snowman through a seemingly insignificant opportunity.

 

 

[Climax]

Meanwhile, Kang Sanggu, the Hound of JeJe, finds out that $10 million of company money has disappeared. After concluding that Jihye deliberately stole the money, he visits the house with his lackeys.

 

Kang Sanggu takes Himchan, Jihyes only son, and Helen, her best friend, as hostages. Sanggu interrogates Jihye as he points a knife at them. He wants to know the truth about where the $10 million disappeared to.

 

Kang Sanggu doesnt believe her claims that it was a mistaken remittance. He follows with a relentless and terrible assault on Helen. Jihye feels a fire in her heart. The moment Kang Sanggu lets down his guard, Jihye hits his head with a trophy she had received from JeJe Hair Salon, thus incapacitating JeJes loyal hound.

 

Jihye cant go back to JeJe hair salon now. Now that this had happened, the organization needed to be exposed to the world and destroyed. Jihye hands over a USB to a producer at a broadcasting station. The USB was left behind by Kwak Kibeom, the former Chief of Finance at JeJe Hair Salon, who was killed three years ago after failing to expose JeJes secrets to the media.

 

Breaking news comes the next day. A huge scandal involving a large number of political and business figures in South Korea. The reality of an illegal money laundering organization disguised as a beauty salon is revealed to the world.

 

JeJes Director uses all of her personal connections to try and block the news. Thinking that someone must have hacked the office PC, she turns on the CCTV to find the culprit. However, she doesnt find anything strange. There is no doubt that the culprit is Yoo Jihye, the Chief of Finance standing right next to her.

 


 

Synopsis

Meanwhile, Seonho persistently tracks clues and uncovers the identity of the Snowman. The Snowman is none other than Helen Kim! He also finds out that his superior, Hwang Byeongchan, is her accomplice.

 

At the same time, Jihye gets a call.

 

[If you want to save Himchan, release Park Dasoms frozen account.]

 

The voice belonged to none other than Himchans English teacher and Jihyes best friend, Helen Kim.  

 

After many twists and turns, Jihye unfreezes Dasoms account. All the money in the account is then deposited to Helen. Despite her demands, Helen doesnt release Himchan. Team Leader Hwang Byeongchan tries to charge her of dropping Jihye from a cliff and disguising it as a suicide as well as murdering Dasom. Team Leader Hwang threatens for Jihye to jump off in order to save Himchan.

 

Jihye is on the edge of the cliff. Shes in a desperate crisis.

 

She would do anything to save Himchan. Jihye steps off the cliff. But how did this happen? It wasnt her who fell off the cliff, but Hwang Byeongchan.

 

Helen had pushed him from behind.

 

Helen also drops the tools used to kill Park Dasom from the cliff. Helen looks relieved, as if everything was finally over. She continues to behave bizarrely. The $10 million dollars they stole is also transferred back to Jihye.

 

"Jihye, you like money. If you keep quiet, no one will know.

 

Jihye is shocked, unable to understand what she is saying.

 

Im sorry. I used you.

 

Those are Helens last words before she leaves Jihye at the scene.

 

 

[End]

Seonho finds Himchan hidden in the home of the mother of Kwak Kibeom, the old Chief of Finance of JeJe Hair Salon. He hears about Helen Kim from the mother.
