Still from Eve Episode 2
At the kindergarten parent representative meeting, So-ra’s daughter gets into a fight with another student and hurts her. So-ra does not even budge and leaves the meeting without seeing the hurt child. She later abuses the homeroom teacher and orders her to remove the other kid from their school. The teacher is trapped between two mothers who want to dominate each other. Ra-el sees the chance and meddles to solve the conflict.
Ra-el calls Yoon-hyeom and asks him to bring his daughter to her ballet class. His wife is out in the name of a family vacation but is making out with one of her assistants. Yoon-hyeom and Ra-el’s visits increase as he goes to Da-bi’s Ballet class to pick her up every day. Yoon-hyeom and Ra-el get alone time with no kids around on one such day. Ra-el dances the Tango with him and gets close to him. She pursues him to think about what he wants from life, his desires.
Yoon-hyeom returns home with Da-bi to find his wife already at home. The dance with Ra-el has got him all worked up and he makes out with his wife passionately. His wife tells him how happy she is but doesn’t know that he has Ra-el on her mind. Even though he is making out with her, he sees Ra-el’s face instead of her.
Seo Eun-pyeong has been looking for Lee Ra-el for a long time and while searching for something about Kang Yoon-hyeom, he sees Ra-el’s picture and recognises her. He goes straight to visit her but Ra-el declines to know him and calls herself Kim Seon-bin. After Eun-pyeong leaves, Ra-el is seen talking with a woman whom she calls mom about their plan of 10 years. They do not want anyone to know about it and ruin it. Ra-el is living disguised as someone else and she has something big coming up.

So-ra is married and has a child herself but still needs validation from her father. She sleeps with other men because she doesn’t have a good sexual relationship with her husband. Kang is nothing different and has Ra-el on her mind. Family is just a business deal for them.
