Seo Dong Joo’s Revival and Confrontation

The production team teased that in episode 4, Seo Dong Joo will directly confront Heo Il Do, asking him ominously, “You shot me, didn’t you?” This revelation leaves Heo Il Do in a state of shock, as he realizes the gravity of his actions and the potential consequences.
