In the second episode aired last June 20, the actress' character Chu Sang Eun, received a call saying that her husband is dead. Now, this husband is abusive and does not care that Sang Eun is pregnant while beating her up. 

After confirming the death of her husband, she went to a restaurant and ate to her heart's content. She ordered 3 dishes, jjajangmyeon (Korean-style Chinese noodle dish with black bean sauce), tangsuyuk (Korean-style Chinese fried pork dish), and gun-mandu (pan-fried dumplings). The widowed woman finally felt the freedom she's been longing for so long and ate as of she never had a meal in her life. 

Many viewers were impressed by Im Ji Yeon's powerful portrayal in the scene, where she devoured the dishes with intensity.
