He denied it, resisted, and acted as if nothing had happened. It's over. In episode 7 of « Love in Disguise » (known as «Love Undercover» in French), which aired this Monday, Yoon Yi-jun finally admits that he is in love with his secretary and decides to win her over for good. But as the romance heats up, the investigation into Han Eun-young’s murder takes a major turn, with a newcomer holding crucial evidence.

Warning: Spoilers for previous episodes.

Love Under the Covers - Episode 7

The End of Denial

For the past several episodes, Yoon Yi-jun (Yim Si-wan) refused to admit the obvious. After an accidental first kiss, followed by a second, he pretended to be indifferent, all the while constantly circling around Kang Jae-hee (Seol In-ah) and in casually calling her «cute.».

It is his fiancée, Lee Si-ah (Choi Hee-jin), who sets everything in motion. By trying to hire Jae-hee as her own secretary, she sends a jolt through Yi-jun: the fear of losing her finally forces him to acknowledge his feelings.

An Heir Transformed

Once he has made up his mind, the cold-hearted heir undergoes a transformation. The new footage shows him watching Jae-hee intently as she arrives at the mansion, taking care of her, and even offering her the healthy juice he usually saves for himself.

He then goes on the offensive: a reservation at a restaurant with a romantic atmosphere, a flower in his hand. The aloof boss gives way to a man in love, determined to win his secretary’s heart.

Two teasers to make us wait even longer

Two videos released by tvN confirm this change. In the first one, Yi-jun insists on buying Jae-hee a suit, but she flatly refuses to be measured. And for good reason: being measured could reveal that she’s a woman. To make matters worse, Si-ah seems to have hit the nail on the head…

In the second scene, Jae-hee arrives late for work because her bus broke down. Far from getting annoyed, Yi-jun has only one thing on his mind: whether she’s hurt. He tells her not to rush and to get there safely.

Evidence That Changes Everything

But the episode isn't just about romance. In the previous episode, Yi-jun, Jae-hee, and Kim Si-hyun (Kim Jung-hyun), a lawyer with Taegang's legal department, discovered a new clue: a second cell phone belonging to Han Eun-young (Jung Yoo-min), the young woman found dead in a closet. Her last call had been made to Lee Hye-jung, secretary to the chairman of the Taegang Group, played by Yeonwoo.

Yi-jun insists that he did not kill Han Eun-young. But neither he nor Si-hyun knows what really happened on the day of the murder.

A Market Under Pressure

Other new footage shows Lee Hye-jung, fresh from her interrogation, arranging a discreet meeting with Yi-jun, Jae-hee, and Si-hyun. There, she pulls out a pen recorder that belonged to the victim and proposes a deal: she’ll reveal its contents, on the condition that Yi-jun and Si-hyun share what they know about the case.
