The 10th episode of tvN’s “I Really Wanted to Say This” (directed by Choi Sam-ho, Yang Jin-woo and Han Ji-won), airing Monday, December 16, delves into the mysterious disappearance of a newlywed couple in the heart of the city and the heartbreaking story of parents who have been longing for their missing daughter for eight years.

The parents recall being surprised when their daughter, who was thriving as a theater actress, suddenly decided to get married. Not long after the wedding, they lost contact with her and subsequently learned of her disappearance.

Investigators reviewing CCTV footage from the elevator of the couple’s home discovered a baffling mystery that remains unsolved to this day. The footage shows the couple entering their home as usual, but no footage exists of them ever leaving. Even after 70 people painstakingly reviewed the CCTV recordings, no trace of the couple exiting their home was found, leaving their sudden disappearance shrouded in mystery.

Adding to the intrigue, a suspicious woman connected to the couple emerges, deepening the complexity of the case. It is revealed that the wife had been threatened by this woman before her wedding, with menacing messages like, “I’ll make sure you don’t get married.” The unexpected identity of this woman shocks everyone. Friends of the wife, who are moved to tears by the unveiling of her hidden struggles, continue to wait with hope for her return.

Given the setting—a bustling city filled with CCTV cameras—the case is all the more perplexing. The missing woman’s parents have been holding onto hope for eight years, determined not to give up. They explain “If we give up, it feels like we’re abandoning our daughter”, sharing their reasons for appearing on the show.

The mother of the missing woman tearfully says, “I just hope she’s alive somewhere… How could a child who grew up so beautifully simply disappear?”

The parents continue, “We’d do anything to find her. This entire situation is unbelievable. We didn’t know anything before this happened. Afterward, we learned everything. Thinking about how much she must have endured silently breaks our hearts and keeps us up at night.”

Narrator Lee Sang-yeob shared his thoughts, “I hope this episode spreads awareness of the case and brings resolution, offering comfort to those who are waiting.”

The mysterious disappearance of the couple in the middle of a bustling city and the story of those still waiting for them after eight years will be revealed in full during today (December 16)’s episode of “I Really Wanted to Say This”.
