Na Moon-Young is a former prosecutor and now a lawyer with her husband’s boutique Chawoong Law Firm. Her parents cherish their daughter Bom, and a neighbor, Ha Yeon-joo, supports them. Moon-young reconnects with an old peer, Prosecutor Joo Shin-hwa, over dinner, which ends with both women attracting unwelcome attention after becoming heavily intoxicated.

The following day unfolds with confusion for Moon-young, who finds herself without any recollection of the night before and in a disconcerting state. Her morning is further complicated when she sees Sung-jae, her husband, taking care of Bom, his hand injured and adorned with his wedding band, leaving abruptly after a brief conversation.

Yeon-joo’s offer to cook for Bom brings a moment of gratitude from Moon-young amidst her growing concern, especially when it becomes apparent that Sung-jae has missed an important trial he was to lead. Moon-young steps in to handle the case involving a controversial land deal and an employee of Geumshin Corporation accused of a serious crime, only to find herself embroiled in a chaotic situation with missing parties and a postponed trial.

As Moon-young delves deeper into the mystery of Sung-jae’s disappearance, encountering suspicious individuals and pursuing leads with tenacity, she faces both personal and professional crises. The discovery of financial troubles and the implications of Sung-jae’s missing person case strain her further, even as she navigates the complexities of legal battles and family responsibilities.

The narrative takes a darker turn with a meeting under a bridge, revealing a plot of betrayal and false accusations. The meeting is interrupted by an unexpected appearance and the rush of emergency services towards a grave accident site. Moon-young’s heartache is compounded by the sight of a wedding ring on a victim at the scene, hinting at a devastating loss.

The premiere of the enigmatic Korean drama, “Hide,” kicks off with a bang, immediately captivating viewers with a myriad of intriguing elements. Each scene is meticulously crafted, serving either as a vital clue or a clever misdirection. The ambiguity surrounding the character with the bandaged hand driving, and Jin-woo’s observation of Bom, adds layers of complexity, engaging the audience in a game of speculation. This strategic delivery of information allows viewers to formulate their own theories while still leaving the plot’s full revelation tantalizingly out of reach.

Amidst the unfolding drama, a pivotal mystery emerges when Moon-young stumbles upon a deceased body, heavily implied to be Sung-jae. This discovery propels the narrative into a whirlwind of speculation regarding his fate—whether this is a case of deception or a genuine death. Concurrently, the narrative teases the possibility of a secondary incident involving Kim, hinted at by the sudden appearance of additional police vehicles headed in her direction, a detail further teased in the show’s preview.

As the anticipation builds, the promise of only a day’s wait for the next episode ensures that viewers are left eagerly awaiting further developments. This pacing ensures a dynamic viewing experience, where each new episode promises to unveil answers and present new mysteries.

Lee Bo—Young brings authenticity and her powerful presence to this show, demonstrating once again that she is enough to carry any story any day.
