Story Background and Context

Her actions attract the attention of law enforcement, leading to a dangerous cat-and-mouse game. The drama is based on the original Canadian series of the same name that aired from 2017 to 2019.

Expected Plot Developments in Episodes 10 and 11
The storyline is building towards intense confrontations. The preview for the upcoming episodes indicates that Woo So-jeong will be taken in for police interrogations. The pressure on her is increasing as the investigation tightens.
The character Go Gwang-cheol, a mysterious businessman played by Baek Hyun-jin, is expected to become more aggressive. He sees both Woo So-jeong and her associate, Choi Dae-hyeon, as threats to his operations. In a preview, he is seen pointing a gun at So-jeong, suggesting immediate danger.
Detective Ban Ji-yoon is likely to dig deeper into the connection between Go Gwang-cheol, police commissioner An Tae-seong, and the illegal movement of euthanasia drugs.
Despite the risks, So-jeong appears determined to continue her work. She is shown returning to a patient’s home with the ampules containing the drugs. This suggests she intends to go through with another euthanasia procedure despite the growing threats around her.
Meanwhile, Choi Dae-hyeon, who was severely injured in a car crash, is now cooperating with the police. He secretly wore a wire during a meeting with So-jeong, but his plan was exposed at the end of episode 9. This betrayal leaves their relationship and their secret operation in a critical state.
