New stills from tvN’s Love in Disguise show Yim Si Wan’s character doing something that makes no sense to a trained investigator: visiting the resting place of the woman he is accused of killing. Seol In Ah’s detective watches him pay his respects with a calm face, and she cannot work out what it means.
The romance thriller airs on tvN and streams on Prime Video in more than 240 countries and territories. Episode 3 is set to air on October 26 at 8:50 p.m. KST.
What Happened in the Murder Case So Far
Yim Si Wan plays Yoon Yi Jun, the third-generation heir to Taegang Group. His secretary, Han Eun Young (Jung Yoo Min), was found dead in his office after the two had an argument. Police made him the prime suspect.
Yi Jun showed no signs of panic during questioning. When a detective pushed him, he replied:
“Do you really think I killed her?”
He then asked Kang Jae Hee (Seol In Ah), who had disguised herself as a man to apply for the secretary job, whether she had ever killed anyone.
Seol In Ah’s character is a former special forces officer working undercover as Yi Jun’s personal secretary. Her job is to watch him and find evidence the police could not reach.
The Columbarium Stills and Why They Matter
The newly released photos show Yoon Yi Jun standing before Han Eun Young’s urn at a columbarium. He takes a moment to pay his respects with a composed facial expression. Kang Jae Hee watches from a distance, visibly confused.
Her confusion comes from her training. A murderer paying tribute to the victim does not fit the usual pattern. The scene leaves two possibilities open: Yi Jun’s act could be a sincere expression of grief that supports his claim of innocence, or it could be part of a suspect’s psychology that she cannot read.
The Cast Behind the Tension
The main cast of Love in Disguise includes:
- Yim Si Wan as Yoon Yi Jun, the arrogant chaebol heir and murder suspect.
- Seol In Ah as Kang Jae Hee, the detective working undercover as a male secretary.
- Kim Jung Hyun as Kim Si Hyun, Yi Jun’s close friend and a lawyer on the Taegang Group legal team.
