Ep 7. Episode 7

At the onset of "I Hear Your Voice" Season 1 Episode 7, lawyer Jang Hye-sung is in deep contemplation after realizing that her testimony led to the wrongful arrest of two men. With her conscience badly bruised, she decides to look deeper into the mishap to see if there is any way of making amends. Meanwhile, Park Soo-ha continues his quest to bring back his surrogate mother in the picture. In the previous episode, he found out that he was mistaken in previous assumptions that his mother was dead and instead discovers that she is terminally ill and living in a nursing home. Being the ever-loving and dutiful son that he is, Soo-ha tries to reason with his mother to come home, but to no avail. He continues in his pursuit, however, hoping to convince her to return home with him.

Elsewhere in episode 7, Jang Hye-sung is still feeling troubled by the wrongful arrest of the two men she testified against in court. She can’t help but feel guilty, and her sense of compassion and empathy lead her to investigate the situation further. As she learns more about the case, she discovers that someone may have tampered with the evidence, leading to the wrongful arrest. However, with a statute of limitations clouding the possibility of a retrial, Jang Hye-Sung must find a way to right her wrongs and make amends.

As if things weren’t complicated enough, Jang Hye-sung’s ex-boyfriend and prosecutor, Seo Do-yeon, come face to face in court. Do-yeon is set to represent the government and Jang Hye-sung’s side, leading them to have a sort of stand-off. The exchange brings back the memories of their past romance and opens up old wounds that seem to still sting.

While these power clashes take center stage, Park Soo-ha digs deep into his past to understand the reason behind his origins. In Episode 7, he tries to question his past and finally trace his surge of supernatural powers back to something more concrete and tangible than the accidents he’s previously witnessed. He discovers that he was once part of a traumatic incident, but instead of dwelling on the misfortunes, he decides to use it as leverage in his current quest to bring back his mom.

As the episode continues to unfold, Jang Hye-Sung and Park Soo-ha get closer to uncovering the real reason behind the wrongful arrest of the two men. With the help of a private investigator, they unravel a conspiracy that is much bigger than they had anticipated. The discovery thrusts them into unfamiliar territories as they navigate treacherous waters to bring justice for the men wrongly accused.
