Episode 4 of "Face Me" unfolds with Jeong-woo arriving at the rooftop at the eleventh hour, narrowly preventing Hee-young from taking her own life. With heartfelt encouragement, he implores her to hold on to her existence, reassuring her that the tides of fate can indeed turn.
Elsewhere, Min-hyung's suspicions towards the perpetrator intensify as he notices her lack of recognition towards Hee-young, deducing that her actions were orchestrated by another. The culprit is unveiled as the housekeeper of Seo Hoon-ha, the spouse of the CEO of Hee-young's modeling agency.
Meanwhile, Jeong-woo, haunted by vivid memories of his fiancée's brutal murder, finds himself drowning in sorrow at a quaint tent restaurant, where alcohol becomes his unwelcome companion. Sensing his plight, the restaurant owner reaches out to Min-hyung, who swiftly arrives to rescue Jeong-woo from his self-imposed exile, escorting him back to the hospital.
The following day, Min-hyung's path crosses with a visitor at Hee-young's doorstep—none other than the grieving father of Hee-young's deceased friend. A thorough investigation by Min-hyung uncovers a dark truth: Hee-young's friend had been a victim of sexual harassment perpetuated by the CEO. Despite Hee-young's valiant effort to report the incident, her friend succumbed to the unbearable pain, taking her own life in despair.
The police, after a relentless pursuit, finally apprehended the housekeeper, who, under interrogation, spilled the beans on the entire saga. They unveiled a shocking conspiracy: while incarcerated, the CEO, in cahoots with his spouse, meticulously orchestrated a vengeful plot aimed at Hee-young, intent on derailing her burgeoning career.
As the intricate case unfolded and justice began to take its course, Hee-young underwent a transformative skin graft surgery, a remedy that Jeong-woo had sagely proposed during his dramatic intervention to prevent her from plunging into despair. Min-hyung, witnessing Jeong-woo's unwavering commitment and heartfelt concern for his patients, couldn't help but commend him, much to Jeong-woo's bashful discomfort.
Not long after, Jeong-woo's clinic welcomed an unusual visitor, a man who harbored a peculiar desire: to undergo surgery to resemble someone in a photograph. Post-procedure, the enigmatic motive came to light—the man aspired to mirror his son's appearance, harboring hopes of mending the frayed bonds between them after his son's adoption revelation shattered their relationship.
Parallel to these developments, Hee-young gracefully stepped into the K-beauty contest finals, albeit not emerging victorious, she was catapulted into the limelight as the ambassador for an opulent beauty brand. To express her profound gratitude to Jeong-woo, she dispatched a thoughtful token of appreciation.
Meanwhile, at the police precinct, Min-hyung's partner stumbled upon freshly deciphered CCTV footage, depicting the shadowy figure who had previously attempted to assault Jeong-woo. Yet, to Min-hyung's astonishment, the silhouette in the footage was eerily familiar. The episode culminated in a tense confrontation, as Min-hyung found himself staring into the eyes of this mysterious adversary, leaving viewers on the edge of their seats.
