In the drama, Seok Ju-ran is a character who gains superpowers through an experiment by Ha Won-do (Son Hyun-ju), the head of the 'Wunderkind Project'. Having lost her hearing due to the harsh conditions at a welfare facility in the past, her ability is a brainwashing power that can paralyze and control the hearing of others.

When activating this ability, Jung Yi-seo expressed it with a blank expression, as if devoid of emotion, overwhelming her opponents with just her gaze, breathing, and atmosphere, without exaggerated action.

She once again proved her presence as an actress by expressing Seok Ju-ran's complex inner self with restrained emotions and tone, raising expectations for her future endeavors.
