Na Young-hee and Choi Jong-hwan‘s conflict deepened as they could not find Lee So-yoon.

In the 3rd episode of KBS2’s daily drama ‘Cinderella Game’ (directed by Lee Hyun-kyung / written by Oh Sang-hee) aired on the 4th, the conflict between Shin Yeo-jin (played by Na Young-hee) and Yoon Sung-ho (played by Choi Jong-hwan), who risked their lives to find the missing Yoon Yoo-jin (played by Lee So-yoon), reached its peak.

The episode that day depicted the meeting between Ha-na (played by Kim Seo-heon), who was abandoned and returned to the orphanage, and Yoo-jin, who had lost all of her memories before the accident. Ha-na introduced Yoo-jin to her hideout and they became close. Yoo-jin, who could not remember her own name, started a new life under the name Doo-na, given to her by a nun.

At the same time, Sung-ho, who had been desperately searching for Yoo-jin, was frustrated by the news that the ocean search operation had been suspended. Yeo-jin, who had become extremely sensitive, asked, “You‘re still my dad? She expressed her anger by saying, “Search again.” She said that she would curse her daughter for the rest of her life if she didn’t find her, causing pity.

In the meantime, Ji-seok’s parents, who were friends of Hana’s biological father in the past, came to the orphanage and confessed that they wanted to adopt Hana. The director asked them to wait until Hana, who had been abandoned, opened her heart, and the couple tried to get close to Hana. In particular, Hana skillfully sewed a button that fell off the sleeve of the friend couple’s son, Gu Ji-seok (played by Goo Hyun), creating a warm feeling from their first meeting.

Yeo-jin and Seong-ho struggled to find their daughter, Yoo-jin, but they couldn’t hear any news of her. The conflict between Yeo-jin and Seong-ho, who only resented each other, reached a peak, making viewers’ palms sweat. Choi Myung-ji (played by Ji Soo-won) holds her daughter, Yoon Se-young (played by Yoo Ha-yeon), and says, “If Yoo-jin isn’t here, you could become Yoo-jin. He showed his greed by saying, “If you do well, it’s all yours.”

At the end of the broadcast, Hana, who was adopted into Ji-seok’s house, said her final goodbyes while being seen off by the orphanage family. Hana gave Doo-na her hat as a farewell gift. At that moment, Doo-na recalled Eugene’s old memories, creating a dramatic ending that made viewers want to watch the next episode.

The 4th episode of KBS 2TV’s daily drama ‘Cinderella Game’ will air on the 5th (today) at 7:50 PM.
