Jang Seo-hui's Counterattack: A 'Perfect' Trap Designed by Demanding Manager Na Write a Will

Jang Seo-hui, whose life was completely taken away by a false murder accusation, revealed a meticulous revenge design aimed at Manager Na. In episode 34 of the KBS drama 'A Trap Called Desire', the process of Jang Seo-hui pressuring and coercing Manager Na to write a will to corner him was depicted.

"I will prepare 500 million won in escape funds" The meaning of the will designed by Jang Seo-hui

Jang Seo-hui psychologically pressured Manager Na by demanding that he write a will himself. She used the pretext that he must leave Korea in preparation for the investigation net tightening. Jang Seo-hui proposed to provide 500 million won to Manager Na as escape funds, emphasizing that writing the will is preparation for a 'complete and perfect' crime. This is interpreted as an intention to keep Manager Na tied as an accomplice while simultaneously designing the legal responsibility that may arise in the future. Jang Seo-hui increased the level of pressure by stating that she and Manager Na are accomplices and mentioning the situation where he could go straight to prison if he continues to hold out here.

"Shackles put on oneself" A gift for the Chairman and a moment of reversal

The arrows of revenge extended beyond Manager Na toward the Chairman. Jang Seo-hui delivers a gift to the Chairman as a sign of apology, but this soon becomes a 'shackle' that trips up the Chairman. While appearing to show goodwill on the surface, Jang Seo-hui warned the Chairman that "when wearing those shackles, one doesn't even know they put them on themselves," warning that the current situation is a shackle the Chairman has put on his own ankles. In the following situation, tension heightened as the item delivered as a gift acted as a tool to pressure the Chairman. Jang Seo-hui cornered the Chairman by mentioning the shackles he personally put on his feet, and during this process, the situation unfolded urgently as individuals related to the police appeared.

Relationships of characters where anxiety and confrontation intersect

As the revenge progresses, the anxiety and confrontation of surrounding characters also appear. Eun-seo (played by Jeon Hye-won) showed signs of relying on a lawyer while expressing anxiety regarding the possibility of a retrial and whether Manager Na committed the crime. Eun-seo expressed fear about whether a retrial could be held and whether Manager Na is truly the culprit. Meanwhile, subtle currents between individuals related to Eun-seo after a company dinner and the relationships of individuals surrounding Go Eun-guk were revealed, adding tension to the drama. In particular, while conversations were exchanged among the characters regarding the situation where Eun-seo collapsed while drunk, the aspect of the case shifted as the police appeared.
