The drama is only 1/2 of the story ; for length reasons, it was cut, so by June 2024, the second part is still not aired. Bets are on when it will...  since there are lots of other dramas vying for a slot, it may take longer than it should.  In such case, the portrait gallery ad notes may be of help to refresh memory.
