The Lowdown

CROSS-CHECK.Soohyun is making a bold move, putting more pawns into play in a bid to get more people to join Eunsung's cause and corner the powerful Park Moon-seob. The fearless reporter has approached more of Park’s students: Lee Shinhae, an artist similar and sympathetic to Eunsung and, surprisingly, Sung Heewon who hates both Eunsung and Soohyun. Park Moon-seob, however, is quick to catch on. But is he quick enough to cook up a counter-move?
