In the fifth episode of tvN's weekend drama 'Pandora: The Phantom Paradise' (created by Kim Sun-ok, directed by Choi Young-hoon, written by Hyun Ji-min, produced by Studio Dragon and Chorokbaem Media) broadcasted on the 25th, Koh Hae-soo (played by Jang Hee-jin) burned with betrayal and revenge as she revealed Hong Tae-ra's (played by Lee Jia) identity to the public.
Hong Tae-ra and Pyo Jae-hyun (played by Lee Sang-yoon) appeared as guests on a live talk show hosted by Koh Hae-soo. Hong Tae-ra, who had been avoiding the spotlight, decided to appear on the show, saying that she no longer wants to hide.
Koh Hae-soo misunderstood that Hong Yoo-ra (played by Han Soo-yeon) intentionally approached Hong Tae-ra to hurt Jang Do-jin (played by Park Ki-woong) and make him look bad.
In the end, Koh Hae-soo revealed on live television that Hong Tae-ra was the sniper who killed Hong Tae-sun, the former president and Hong Yoo-ra's father, 15 years ago. She then asked, "Tell me, Hong Tae-ra. Are you the culprit who shot Go Tae-sun, Oh Young?"
Hong Tae-ra shed tears without saying a word, and Pyo Jae-hyun was shocked, raising the tension. The revelation put Hong Tae-ra and Pyo Jae-hyun in the biggest crisis of their lives, and viewers are curious about what kind of storm they will face.
Meanwhile, the last moments of Hong Yoo-ra before her death were revealed. She handed over a USB containing research files on Seo Myung-hee's smart patch to Eom Sil-jang (played by Sung Chang-hoon) with her prosthetic foot.
Before she died, Hong Yoo-ra expressed her anger at Jang Do-jin and Seo Myung-hee's suspicious behavior regarding her relationship with Jang Guem-mo (played by Ahn Nae-sang).
Furthermore, Hong Tae-ra started to investigate the reason for Hong Yoo-ra's death. She listened to a voice message left by Hong Yoo-ra and was shocked. The mystery of what the dying message meant and why Hong Tae-ra was searching Hong Yoo-ra's body increased the tension.
The blue storm continued. Go Sung-chan (played by Bong Tae-gyu) thought that Jang Do-jin was responsible for Hong Yoo-ra's death, as she stole the USB and ended up committing suicide. He publicly exposed Jang Do-jin's extramarital affair on the internet, and Jang Do-jin resigned from his position due to privacy issues.
However, the blind Go Sung-chan suspected Min Young-hwi (played by Kyun Mi-ri) and revealed that Jang Do-jin had intentionally destroyed the brakes of Jang Gyo-jin (played by Hong Woo-jin) during a motorcycle accident seven years ago, resulting in his death.
At that moment, Jang Do-jin appeared and told Go Sung-chan not to interfere with Min Young-hwi and Jang Gyo-jin. But, Go Sung-chan turned around and coldly said, "Don't call me mother. I've never thought of you as my child," revealing another conflict.
Despite his efforts, Jang Do-jin shed tears as he realized that Min Young-hwi only saw Jang Gyo-jin as her son.
