Warning: spoilers from episodes 11-12 ahead!
1. Lee Don uncovering the truth about Ga Sun Woo’s murder
Right after finding out that Chairman Ga Sung Ho (Moon Sung Geun) is still alive, things escalate rather quickly in a thrilling race between Yeong Ran, Lee Don (Seo Hyun Woo), and Ga Sun Young (Jang Yoon Joo) to take advantage of Ga Sun Woo’s (Lee Chang Min) murder. While Sun Young tries to pin the blame on Yeong Ran in front of the media, Yeong Ran and Lee Don take any means necessary to find the key evidence that will reveal Sun Young as the real mastermind behind her brother’s murder. At this point, the tension skyrockets given everything that is in play, not only for Yeong Ran but for Jeon Dong Min (Jin Young) as well. So, to make sure they can save them, she steps aside and lets Lee Don take care of everything.
Luckily, this time around, Lee Don is able to outsmart Sun Young. Before she can erase all the traces of Gil Ho Se (Yang Kyung Won) in the crime scene, he finds his body and claims it just a second before she can get rid of it. With this move, he not only can save Dong Min, but he also puts Sun Young in a tight spot, cornering her to the limit for the first time. Although everything seems to be happening way too soon, it still gives a sense of fulfillment, and it’s all thanks to Lee Don. When it comes to allies, he comes second to none. Even if at times he seemed suspicious, he remained loyal and unwavering until the very end, becoming one of the most beloved characters in this show.
2. Ga Sun Young killing Chairman Ga Sung Ho
However, half ruining her reputation would never be enough to destroy Ga Sun Young. One thing about her is that she doesn’t go without a fight. When she is about to be arrested, her closest aide takes the blame for the murder, and this gives Sun Young a chance to attack again. Once she finds out Ga Sung Ho is alive, she decides to step in and take matters into her own hands. Taking advantage of the Chairman’s apparent dementia and without much to lose, she coldly murders him, unleashing all her hatred and wrath against him. This moment might be one of the most intense and important in the whole drama, as it represents the climax in the war between Sun Young and Ga Sung Ho.
With nobody able to stop her, she forges a will and finally takes over the company her mother founded. But before she can get too cozy in her new position, Yeong Ran reveals Sun Young’s crimes before the entire world. And while her downfall might be inevitable, she stays cold-hearted and collected, always relying on her strong will and power. We can’t give enough credit to this story for making the villain despicable until the very end. Her twisted and wretched personality is too striking to even feel pity for her despite her sad and abusive upbringing. Furthermore, actress Jang Yoon Joo does superb work portraying this psychopath, giving you chills every time she is on screen.
3. Kim Yeong Ran accomplishing the Chairman’s revenge plans
As sad as it seems, Ga Sung Ho’s murder is the last piece in the puzzle to get his own revenge. He might not have lived to see Sun Young paying for her crimes, but he made sure she had no way of escaping it either. Surprisingly, during her trial, they reveal a video left by Ga Sun Woo, where it’s proven she was the one behind the death of the Chairman’s daughter, sentencing her to spend the rest of her life in prison. After the recording of Sun Young’s cruel crime becomes public, Yeong Ran is able to take over the company and set the rest of her plan in motion.
Once in jail, Sun Young has to face the harsh reality of a life without her power and her money in the hands of none other than Yeong Ran’s mother. In a sense, this is the ultimate revenge they could take on her. Making her feel the pain she inflicted on everybody else. In the end, Yeong Ran is able to send the Chairman in peace. After all the crazy ups and downs, they were able to accomplish exactly what they wanted, making sure that not a single detail went missing and that every character had a rightful ending.
4. Kim Yeong Ran finding a life for herself in Muchang
After everything is said and done, Kim Yeong Ran finally has the chance to have a life for herself. Rich and free of any burden, she can decide to leave and never look back. However, things are not the same as they once were; she now has a place to call home. And sure enough, a while later, she returns to Muchang in time for Baek Hye Ji’s (Joo Hyun Young) wedding, who turns out to be the best friend she could ever ask for. The cherry on top to end this K-drama in the most perfect tone is watching her open up to be with Dong Min. Their relationship, though uncertain and brief at times, was still full of heart and tenderness, giving a perfect balance to the other aspects of this show.
She risked it all for a man who apparently only saw her as a pawn in his plans, but in return for her bravery, she also got a chance to find herself, gain true friends, and even take a chance on love. She’s a true heroine, a perfect example of resilience, strength, and at the same time, kindness. Despite her difficult circumstances, her mistakes, and doubts, she never lost her humanity nor her desire to live a better life, which is why no one deserves a happy ending more than this Ms. Incognito.
