Lies Hidden in My Garden Episode 2 Recap
On September 19, Sang-eun and Kim Yun-beom visited Park Jae-ho’s house in Cornelia. At the same time, Joo-ran had found a human hand in her yard but just then the doorbell rings. After much hesitancy, she answers back through the intercom but he insists on giving something to Jae-ho, so she comes to the door. Without any invitation, he barges inside & starts looking around the house. When Joo-ran tells him that she can’t accept anything without her husband’s permission, he finds it funny.
He intimidatingly comes near her & asks if she is afraid of her husband & loosens up the scarf that she had tied in her hair. She retorts back & goes back inside to call Jae-ho again. When she removes the curtains to check on him, he clicks her pictures & asks her to tell Jae-ho, to visit him at Banyeo Reservoir. But leaves the bag in the yard. While Sang-eun gets curious about the phone in the car glovebox & tries to check it out. She drops it in between the seats when a dog jumps on the car and wasn’t able to get it out.
On coming back, Yun-beom laughs like a maniac and tells Sang-eun that they will soon live in a place like this as well and drops her at her mother’s home. He then sends the photos he took with the message that he is changing the amount and wants 500 million now. Meanwhile, Jae-ho comes rushing back when he sees calls from Joo-ran and she leads him to the hand buried in the yard. Unable to look at it, she goes back inside and tries to control her anxiety, while Jae-ho is seen digging up. She asks him what is it when he comes inside but instead, he shows her a glove filled with soil. He says that the workers might have left it which got buried and that’s what she mistook as a human hand.

He tries hard to make her believe that it’s all her imagination & everything is totally fine. Even gives her a calming-down tea which makes her drowsy. Although he said he won’t go to the reservoir for night fishing, he was nowhere to be found when Joo-ran woke up from a nightmare. Simultaenously, a man is seen getting out of a car from the passenger seat & sitting on the driver’s seat, to take it somewhere. The next morning, he claims to be in his library as he couldn’t go because of the heavy rain. On the other hand, Sang-eun gets the news of her husband’s death.
When the police ask her when she saw him last, she tells them about his plans to see Director Park Jae-ho after dropping her off. However, the police were suspicious that it was for work purposes, as he had been fired a month ago. While the caretaker was sobbing in grief, Sang-eun felt relief and had a heartful meal after a long time. While eating, Yun-beom’s brother calls her up to say that he is returning the meds that he tried to sell to them & would be cutting off all ties. Even his parents wanted to get rid of him for once, she then shares the news of his death in a nonchalant tone. While Park Jae-ho’s family goes to church, where they get to know how the new neighbour just got out of prison for killing her husband.
When they come back, the police officers caught up to them & inform them about Yun-beom’s death. Jae-ho leaves for the police station to cooperate in the investigation and Joo-ran starts to feel uneasy & eventually faints. On gaining consciousness, she finds the new neighbour waiting on her. She tries to have small talk & even comments about how the smell is gone now, but Joo-ran sends her out. Meanwhile, Sang-eun finds a diary in a sealed box & gets to know that Yun-beom had taken out their lease on the apartment as well.
Joo-ran feels something is off & his husband could be involved in Yun-beom’s death, so she tries to check the CCTV footage but it has already been deleted. Her suspicion grows & asks Jae-ho if she can accompany him to the funeral as well. At the funeral house, Sang-eun is reminded of the phone again and she turns it on to see its content. A number of messages and calls come, looking for ‘mom’ (presumably the phone belongs to a prostitute).
When she goes to the gallery, she sees a video of a man tied up in a room full of young girls & a man threatening him for trying to sleep with an underage. On further scrolling, she finds screenshots of Jae-ho’s article & a picture of him with a girl sitting on the floor. She puts the two together & sends a selfie of the girl from the camera roll with the message – you know who am I right? And that message is seen by Joo-ran.
Lies Hidden in My Garden Episode 2 Review
With just two episodes, the creators have laid out such an intriguing suspenseful story that one has to impatiently wait for the next episodes. The creepiness and the feeling of something wrong happening, raises goosebumps, even without much dialogue. Usually, one would expect a character like Sang-eun to help Joo-ran or uncover the truth behind Jae-ho & Yun-beom’s connection.
Unpredictably, she instead threatens him, although her motive behind it is unclear, she could be after the money that Yun-beom was seeking. Also, Jae-ho’s character is so creepy and unsettling to watch how he gaslights Joo-ran without any hesitation. Considering that. much more sinister secrets could be hidden about him.
Lies Hidden in My Garden is available for Streaming on Viki and Prime Video in selective regions.
