His wife Go Mi-ho (Yoona) works as a nurse. She has a beautiful appearance and a personality that is both wise and brave. She helped her husband become a lawyer by supporting him financially and psychologically. When she learns that her husband is suspected to be the genius swindler Big Mouse, she attempts to clear his name.
