Jung Ji-so started her second life as Oh Du-ri.

In episode 3 of KBS2‘s Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Miss Granny’ (directed by Park Yong-soon/written by Heo Seung-min) aired on the 25th, the young Mal-soon (played by Jung Ji-so), who decided to live as Oh Du-ri (played by Jung Ji-so), ends up encountering Kim Ae-shim (played by Cha Hwa-yeon) at Eunice Entertainment, making viewers curious about what story they have in the past. Episode 3 recorded 4% in viewership ratings (based on nationwide households, provided by Nielsen Korea), breaking its own record for highest viewership ratings.

In the episode that day, a mysterious woman (played by Kim Hae-sook) who looks exactly like Mal-soon in her 70s runs into Mal-soon, who has returned to her 20s. As the two surprised people try to approach each other, the younger Mal-soon is dragged away by other trainees from Eunice Entertainment. They mistook Mal-soon for Emily (Jung Ji-so), who had disappeared, and hurled abusive language at her.

A woman in her 70s told the security guard that Daniel Han (Jin-young) was waiting for her, and complained that she had lived here like her home for three months. Choi Ha-na (Chae Won-bin), who happened to see her, was delighted at the woman who looked exactly like her grandmother, but the woman was shocked. The fact that the newly introduced character had the same face as Mal-soon added to the excitement of the drama.

Meanwhile, Lina, who couldn’t stand Mal-soon‘s unsophisticated style while she was practicing dancing, took her to a dance shop and transformed her. Mal-soon, who had become incredibly pretty, asked to be called Oh Du-ri from now on and decided to live a new life. After that, Du-ri sang in secret in the practice room, recalling the memory of singing ’Spring Days Are Fine‘ in the past. Daniel, who saw that, approached Doori and played the guitar together, making the viewers happy.

Doori showed his love for his granddaughter by asking Daniel to pass her audition as a trainee in order to enter Eunice Entertainment. However, contrary to her feelings, Hana was not very worried about her grandmother who ran away, and Doori, feeling hurt by this, got into an argument with a man who hit on her while drinking alone. Daniel, who was drinking at the same restaurant, witnessed this and quickly subdued the man who was trying to be physical with Doori, causing excitement in the living room theater.

At the end of the broadcast, Doori, who encountered Ae-shim at the company, heightened the dramatic tension by revealing her meaningful feelings by asking, “Is that you, Kim Ae-shim?” The 4th episode is even more exciting as it will reveal what happened between the two in the past and what kind of actions Doori will take in Aeshim’s company in the future.

The 4th episode of ‘Suspicious Partner’ will air on Thursday, the 26th at 9:50 PM.
