'The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection' Episode 3: Is Noh Ha Na Matthew Lee's Kryptonite?

The third episode highlighted Geum Ra Hee and Min Do Hyuk's secret collaboration. 

With her mission to pay for her sins and witness Matthew Lee's downfall, he was secretly helping Min Do Hyuk rise against the vicious Tikitaka Chairman. 

The first scene showcased Matthew Lee's disappointment, expressing fury after knowing that Min Do Hyuk was still alive and was posing as Sim Jun Seok. 

Min Do Hyuk warned Matthew Lee that this would be the start of destruction and payback for his sins against his family. 

After seeing that Do Hyuk was still alive, he immediately called Geum Ra Hee to look into this. As for her, she raised speculation that one of them might be the traitor who was helping Do Hyuk. 

Han Mo Ne was accused of being a Do Hyuk spy after Ra Hee and Matthew Lee saw a loophole between her and Michelle, who was also working with Do Hyuk's side.

On the other hand, Min Do Hyuk was slowly clearing his name in the public and painting Matthew Lee as evil. He managed to get the sympathy of the public after he exposed the incident that happened to his family. 

With this, Matthew Lee was having a hard time working on his plan, especially now that the Seoul Mayor had left his side. 

One of the highlights in "The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection" Episode 3 was the identity of No Han Na. 

Since Han Mo Ne and her mother, Yoon Ji Sook, have agreed that they would hide Han Na's identity, Yoon Ji Sook was caught up in a tricky situation after she failed to give the child's identity to the hospital. 

It was after the kid was rushed to the hospital due to an accident. However, the hospital staff speculated that the child was kidnapped, but Han Mo Ne vouched regarding the child's identity. 

Unfortunately for her, this was heard by Geum Ra Hee, who immediately notified Matthew Lee about it.

He asked his men to get Noh Ha Na, but was saved by Min Do Hyuk. 

Min Do Hyuk and Kang Ki Tak's plan was to expose Han Na's identity to protect him from Matthew Lee.
