First Man Episode 3: Hye Ri’s Secret Threatens Lee Seok’s Path to Victory

Wait, did MBC really just drop the most chaotic plot of 2025? “First Man” serves twin sisters, stolen identities, and a genuinely blood-sucking revenge plot! After only two episodes, fans are obsessing over Hahm Eun-jung’s wild dual performance.

The Most Bizarre Twin Swap Ever

Did she actually steal a whole baby? The First Man episode 3 preview hints at how Chae Hwa-young’s scheme actually started. Back in 1995, she swiped one twin to worm her way into a billionaire family. Talk about a classic villain origin story! While Oh Jang-mi worked endless odd jobs to survive, Ma Seo-rin lived as an impulsive heiress.

Social media is currently losing its mind over Hahm Eun-jung’s acting range. Fans on X are captivated by how she flips from Jang-mi’s warmth to Seo-rin’s icy grin. It is imposing because she isn’t using CGI tricks. This is pure, unadulterated talent on screen. The show will soon dive into the moment Jang-mi smells a rat regarding her family history.

Skipping the Boring Intro Tea

What makes this drama coverage different is that we avoid those generic, robotic introductions. You won’t see “In today’s fast-paced world” here because that is a total snooze-fest. We are diving straight into the juicy details you actually care about.

Love Triangles and Kitchen Nightmares

The drama isn’t just about revenge; the romance is getting messy. Two brothers, Kang Baek-ho and Jun-ho, are both catching feelings for the twins. Baek-ho is a sweetheart lawyer, while Jun-ho is a cold, 3-star Michelin chef. They are destined to fight over the same person eventually! Imagine the awkwardness at dinner when your brother’s girl looks exactly like yours. Seriously, who saw that coming?

Plus, Single’s Inferno star Kim Min-seol just appeared to challenge for Baek-ho’s heart. Reddit users are already placing bets on which twin spills the beans first. This is a total train wreck waiting to happen, and I am absolutely here for it.

Why You Must Watch Episode 3

This series is replacing The Woman Who Swallowed The Sun, so the hype is massive. The production team promised “genuine emotions” rather than just loud shouting matches. They want us to feel every single tear as the revenge plot ignites. The most thrilling part of the upcoming preview is Seo-rin’s identity crisis.

Is her fake life finally about to crumble into pieces? Seo-rin’s tagline, “Sin always comes at a price,” is a huge warning for the villains. Watching Chae Hwa-young hide her tracks while Jang-mi fights for justice will be peak television.  

Watch the Drama Every Night

You don’t have to wait long for your next fix of this masterpiece. The show airs every night, Monday through Friday. It premieres on Wednesday, December 18th, 2025, at 7:05 pm GMT on MBC. For international fans, Kocowa usually has English subtitles ready right after the Korean broadcast.

With 120 episodes planned, we are in for a long, emotional ride through 2026. Each episode is only 35 minutes, making it the perfect lunchtime for watch. If you love secrets and handsome brothers, this is your new favourite obsession.

The tension between the “warm” and “cold” sisters is reaching a breaking point. We are all waiting to see if Baek-ho uses his legal brain to spot the swap. Will the brothers stay clueless while the women battle it out? Only time and a few more dramatic cliffhangers will tell.
