Previously, Nam Han Joon helped Shin Kyung Ho (Kim Won Shik) escape by claiming that Han Jae Hee’s team illegally obtained the black box containing crucial evidence. Han Jae Hee chased after Nam Han Joon in anger and delivered a sharp message to him, raising anticipation for how their relationship will change going forward.

The newly released stills capture Nam Han Joon and Gong Soo Chul (Kwak Si Yang) holding a Gut (ritual performed by Korean shamans). Gong Soo Chul bows his head down low to plea earnestly to Nam Han Joon.

Han Jae Hee and Cha Do Won (Kwon Soo Hyun) are at a loss while witnessing the ritual take place. Not to mention, Han Jae Hee is suspicious of Nam Han Joon being a baksumuduang (male shaman) in the first place. However, armed with a brazen attitude, Nam Han Joon will scold Han Jae Hee and Cha Do Won.

The production team shared, “In episode 3, Nam Han Joon, Han Jae Hee, Gong Soo Chul, and Cha Do Won will have a shocking encounter. Please keep watch of the interesting process in which Nam Han Joon and Gong Soo Chul, who habitually use foul and expedient means, and Han Jae Hee and Cha Do Won, who investigate within the boundaries of the law, face off while resolving the case.”

More stills also preview the first meeting between Nam Han Joon, Gong Soo Chul, Nam Hye Joon (Kang Mina), and Jonathan (Baek Seo Hoo). Nam Han Joon is lost deep in thought at a shrine, while Gong Soo Chul looks shockingly different with long hair and a mustache. The two show unlikely teamwork as they work determinedly together in another photo.

Furthermore, other stills preview Nam Han Joon, Gong Soo Chul, Nam Hye Joon, and Jonathan’s chaotic undercover investigation of Shin Kyung Ho.

Gong Soo Chul even peeks his head over the bushes to spy on something while Nam Hye Joon and Jonathan are also stay focused on the investigation. Nam Han Joon and Gong Soo Chul appear shocked as they try to hide themselves further, making viewers wonder how their investigation will play out.
