Seolhyun (Hong Soohyeon) was a victim of domestic violence. Seolhyun, the precious sister of Sora (Kwon Ahrim) and a famous actress, assaulted her husband and was arrested by the police.
When the police explained, "Han Seolhyun assaulted her husband and was arrested on the spot. A warrant will be requested within 48 hours for special assault," Sora replied, "That's impossible.
"My sister has never said anything bad about anyone, and she has never been in a fight. She was charged with a special injury, especially against my brother-in-law," he said, shocked.
HYOMIN, who took on the defense of SEOLHYUN, said, "He was taking psychiatric medication and was acting in an uncontrollable manner.
He reassured Sora by saying, "Since he committed the crime without any sense of reason, he will be found not guilty if he claims insanity." Seok-hoon (LEE JIN-WOO) replied, "It would be better if he claimed insanity and received a suspended sentence.
"That's actually a much better way," he advised, but HYOMIN said, "No. You must declare her insane. My sister is a famous actress. If she's not found not guilty, it's meaningless."
The psychiatrist in charge said that Seolhyun had "battered woman syndrome," and added, "It appears that her husband's domestic violence has continued for 10 years.
This is Han Seolhyun's condition on the first day I treated him."
He also handed her a photo of Seolhyun, whose whole body was covered in bruises and scars. Upon hearing this, Sora screamed, realizing the pain her sister was in, something she hadn't known for 10 years.
Seolhyun said, "After taking the medicine, I became stronger and looked like Wonder Woman."
He confessed to HYOMIN that he knew that taking psychiatric medications could make him violent. After experiencing blackouts after taking the medication, SEOLHYUN installed CCTV in his house and was able to see himself
He discovered that during the blackout, he had displayed violent tendencies.
