1. Eye Witness Yoo Seung Hoon (Lee Soo Kwang)
The first suspect in the list is Yoo Seung Hoon, the person who saw Kim Hyun Soo enter and exit Hong Guk Hwa's house.
After being suspicious of Kim Hyun Soo the night before the murder, he wandered in front of Hong Guk Hwa's house.
The following day, he came to Hong Guk Hwa's house again, and without hesitation pointed out Kim Hyun Soo in front of the detective, giving him a suspicious feeling.
2. Reporter No Seok Han (Park Bong Seo)
The second person to be suspected is news reporter No Seok Han who came to the crime scene through breaking and entering. When the police misunderstood his news report, No Seok Han drew attention to Kim Hyun Soo, claiming that he was the man who left Hong Guk Hwa's house by riding his taxi.
3. Hong Guk Hwa's Stepfather Jo Kang Pil (Shin Woo Chul)
When the news of Hong Guk Hwa's death broke out, her stepfather Jo Kang Pil hardly blinked and never changed his expression, which made him a strong suspect.

At Hong Guk Hwa's funeral, Yoon Hyo Jung shed a lot of tears. However, she showed no alibi when she was interrogated about her whereabouts.

5. Hong Guk Hwa's Ex-Lover Ki Jong Eom (Lee Poong Woon)
Hong Guk Hwa's ex-boyfriend, Ki Jong Eom, and her best friend and roommate Hyo Jung give a free pass in distributing illegal medicine to the victim for her disordered sleeping. They were also the ones Hong Guk Hwa spoke to before she was murdered. However, their call didn't appear in her call logs, which intensifies curiosity.
