In Love in Disguise Episode 8, Hye-Jung plays the recording, and it reveals that Na-Jung and Man-Seok asked to verify the retained earnings Yi-Jun was investigating. She even says that after Secretary Han died, both of them went to the chairman and Man-Seok even asked him to cover the case. The whole conversation is also heard by the police.

As I watched the episode, I also saw Hye-Jung talking to the police and telling them about the pen she gave to Secretary Han as a gift. But she tells them that she doesn't have it as of now.

Coming back to the scene where the last episode left off, Hye-Jung goes inside her house, and she is attacked by the tattooed man. Fortunately, Si-Hyun arrives on time, and even the police arrive. But the man escaped before anyone could catch him.

Si-Hyun even makes sure that Hye-Jung is safe by booking a hotel room for her and locking the doors properly. On the other hand, Jae-Hee asks Yi-Jun to not protect her, as it's her job to do it. But Yi-Jun asks her not to put herself in danger.

As I watched the episode, I also saw Na-Jung surprised to learn that Yi-Jun is not getting mad at Jae-Hee even after she arrived late to work, and on the contrary, he even offered her his own drink. Na-Jung even asks the staff to look for the pen in the house that belonged to Secretary Han.

Just when the staff was leaving, Na-Jung tells the staff not to reveal anything about the man she saw in Yi-Jun's kitchen mixing something in his milk. But it doesn't take long for the police to arrive and not let the staff leave so easily. The episode also revealed that Na-Jung knows Jae-Hee is a woman and that she was the one who sent Yi-Jun the box containing the belt.

On the other hand, the police also learned about a tattooed man who left the Taekang Cultural Foundation recently. Later, Yi-Jun tells Jae-Hee about his mother and reveals that she suffered from depression before hanging herself. Na-Jung and Yi-Jun were the first to find her. When her father arrived at the scene, he covered Yi-Jun's eyes first before taking Na-Jung away.


Love in Disguise Episode 8 recap: Yi-Jun discovers Jae-Hee's real identity

Towards the end of the Love in Disguise episode, Yi-Jun expresses his feelings openly to Jae-Hee and asks her whether, if one of them were a woman, she would have accepted him. But Jae-Hee makes it clear that she doesn't have any feelings for him, and she will resign if he keeps bringing this topic up.

While they are travelling by car, it suddenly stops working, causing them to crash into another car, which the tattooed man was driving. He comes over to Yi-Jun's car after Yi-Jun passes out and takes the pen from his coat. But just then, Jae-Hee wakes up and gets into a fight. Jae-Hee is even able to remove the mask and see his face clearly.

The police come over, and the tattooed man runs away from there. When Yi-Jun wakes up and asks about Jae-Hee, an officer refers to her as a woman. This makes Yi-Jun realize that Jae-Hee is a woman and has been hiding her real identity from him all this time.

Love in Disguise is streaming on Prime Video.
