My Lovely Liar (Useless Lies / Soyongeopseo Geojinmal / 소용없어 거짓말)

Jae Chan has probably arrived by now.

Excuse me.

Where?

He went to Hakcheon.

Why did he go to Hakcheon?

To turn himself in.

Excuse me.

What do you want?

I'm here to turn myself in regarding Choi Eom Ji's case.

I killed her.

I'm sorry.

The truth is I let him hide in my house.

How long have you known this?

Do Ha, I persuaded Jae Chan...

to turn himself in.

I didn't want them to suspect you again.

That's why I persuaded him.

Then how come you haven't done anything all this time?

You watched me live in hiding after getting framed as a murderer.

Now you persuaded him?

The other day, Jae Chan asked me...

whom I would save first if you and Jae Chan were drowning.

I...

didn't answer him then.

But I would save you.

I would save you without a moment's hesitation.

I thought long and hard about this before I came to this conclusion.

It wasn't easy. He is my brother.

I'm sorry...

for not telling you everything.

I'll get going now.

Attention, everyone.

You all know the murder case from Hakcheon Beach, right?

The alleged culprit turned himself in.

But Hakcheon Police Station can't take this case because of...

the internal investigation due to the corruption scandal.

His address is registered here.

So he'll be transported to our station.

Everyone, get ready.

Yes, sir. - Yes, sir.

There he is. - He's here.

Did you really kill her?

Why did you turn yourself in? - Why did you do it?

Did you have a grudge against her? - Did you commit the act alone?

All right. Step back. - A comment, please!

You're not lying, right? - Why did you do it?

Did you know the other suspect? - Answer our question!

A comment, please! - Did you really kill her?

How did you know the victim? - Why did you do it?

Did you have accomplices? - All right.

Step back, please. - Answer our question!

Five years ago, a girl went missing at Hakcheon Beach.

Recently, the remains of the missing girl were found on a nearby hill.

And the suspect who allegedly murdered this girl in her 20s...

turned himself in to the police.

At 1:30pm today,

Mr. Jo, a man in his 20s,

came to the police station of his own volition...

and claimed that he was the culprit...

of the murder case at Hakcheon Beach.

Mr. Jo submitted the ring the victim was wearing...

until the day of her disappearance as evidence.

It was you?

You killed her?

Mr. Jo said he felt pressured when the police found his ring...

at the crime scene and decided to turn himself in.

It was confirmed that Mr. Jo was acquainted with Mr. Kim,

who was once a prime suspect in Hakcheon Beach Murder Case.

Mr. Jo is the younger brother of a major entertainment agency...

and a general manager at the agency.

This discovery has shocked a lot of people.

The police began reinvestigating the case based on Jo's testimony.

This case had remained unsolved for five years.

Now, all eyes are on the Hakcheon Beach Murder Case...

to see if the police can finally find the real culprit.

Can you help me?

It's strange.

The culprit has been identified,

but I still feel very uneasy.

The fact that Eom Ji was murdered...

and the culprit who killed her...

was someone close to me feels all wrong.

Earlier, this even crossed my mind.

"Am I..."

"truly free from her death?"

She died a tragic death.

When will you be happy then?

You were in agony because you felt responsible.

But you're still struggling despite the real culprit has been caught.

When will you be happy then?

Make today the last day you feel miserable.

Let's go and have something tasty tomorrow.

Congratulations! - You startled me.

What? Congratulations on what?

Read this.

I told you he wasn't the type to commit murder.

He's too softhearted to kill an ant.

You said that? When?

Right. Ms. Hunter.

While you went on a break,

we received 35 VIP cases, ready for you to tackle them.

You should get ready for those consultations.

I see. Really?

Your café is open.

Hello.

I heard the good news. Congratulations.

Thank you.

That brings me to this question.

If you're free tonight, why don't we throw a party for your boyfriend?

We should all drink to celebrate.

Ms. Hunter, you have 35 VIP cases.

That sounds good. Let's do it. - Okay. See you later then.

Okay.

That's more important right now.

You've changed a lot.

She's like a girl in love.

What a mess.

The real culprit was someone else.

Right.

I always told you...

that my son wasn't the culprit.

What?

My son is innocent.

I don't know why I'm being punished.

You thought your son wasn't innocent when he was.

That's why you bribed the detective. It was your doing.

The fact that you bribed him...

won't go away even though the real culprit is revealed.

Come to your senses.

Ms. Jung, you have a visitor.

Why did you confuse me?

Why did you tell me you killed her at first?

Why did the police find your shirt stained with her blood?

You should have made it clear if you weren't the culprit.

The ring Detective Kwak pocketed belonged to the culprit.

He ruined the chain of custody, so it won't be admissible in court.

I told you that I threw my ring into the ocean.

Don't you remember?

You neither listen to me nor believe me.

This isn't about believing you.

Back then, given all the circumstances,

it was reasonable to assume that you had killed her.

I didn't want to be a pathetic woman...

who'd always side with her son just because she's the mother.

Why would that make you pathetic?

I needed someone...

to take my side unconditionally ever since I was a kid.

Mr. Jo.

Rumour has it that your brother was the culprit who turned himself in...

for Hakcheon Murder Case.

Is that true?

Songwriter Kim Do Ha was wrongfully suspected because of your brother.

Don't you even feel sorry for him?

Mr. Jo!

The public sentiment isn't favourable.

Haei Entertainment asked us to put a hold on the project...

we were going to collaborate together.

And we've been receiving cancellation requests...

for the trainee audition tomorrow.

The rumour that you framed Songwriter Kim Do Ha...

for the murder your brother committed...

has been spreading continuously.

They don't know my relationship with him.

If they had known, they wouldn't have been able to say that.

Anyone who commits crimes...

should be punished, even if that's my brother.

I have no interest in getting involved with that kind of matter.

No matter what people say about us, we must come together.

Just focus on your work and do what you've been doing.

Those people will get tired of gossiping.

I'll call Haei Entertainment. Don't worry about that project.

Sir.

If you show the public that you're on good terms with Mr. Kim,

this scandal will be sorted out quickly.

Okay. I see.

Thank you.

That's a family matter.

It has nothing to do with my business.

Think about all the contracts we've exchanged before this.

I agreed to all of your conditions too.

You're putting me in a tight spot if you back out now.

Syaon is staying at your agency, right?

Of course. She's our number one artist.

I'll take that we will proceed as planned. Goodbye now.

Am I your number one artist?

I'm glad you're here.

When will you want to come back to work?

I'd like you to come back soon.

You're really scaring me.

I knew that you were a businessman to the core.

But how could you think about money at times like this?

I won't work with you.

Gosh, I can't. You're creeping me out.
