[EPN NPNow reporter Go Nari] Nam Sang-ji's Chloë is thrust into a crisis as mounting plagiarism allegations threaten to upend her life.
Episode 22 of KBS2's Red Pearl spotlights a design-plagiarism controversy that leaves Chloë hounded by a swarm of reporters.
Chloë is ensnared in false accusations after a scheme by Choi Yuna, which Park Tae-ho uses as the basis for a plan to corner her. The tide turns, however, when Park Min-jun and Park Hyun-jun obtain CCTV footage connected to the theft of Chloë's design book.
The episode opens with Chloë on her way to work, enduring relentless pressure from the press. With key facts still unclear, viewers are left wondering whether she can weather the storm.
Kim Dan-hee steps in to protect Chloë, asserting a commanding presence. As she edges closer to uncovering Baek Jin-joo's true identity, viewers hope she will secure decisive information.
Park Tae-ho, meanwhile, reveals hidden motives that complicate the story. After learning of the CCTV footage, he may shift strategies following his earlier attempt to make Chloë a scapegoat.
KBS2's daily drama Red Pearl is set to air episode 22 on the 27th. Due to pro baseball broadcasts, the series will move to a Monday–Thursday schedule starting the 30th. Episode 22 airs at 7:50 p.m.
