The Suspicious Housekeeper is a South Korean television series that follows the story of a mysterious housekeeper named Park Bok-nyeo, who is hired to take care of four children and their father after the mother's death. The first episode begins with the arrival of Park Bok-nyeo at the family's home, which is situated in a small village. She is greeted by the eldest son, Eun Sang-chul, who is initially hesitant about her presence. However, he soon realizes that she is an efficient worker who completes tasks without any fuss and communicates only when necessary.

As the episode progresses, we are introduced to the four children: Eun Sang-chul, Eun Han-gyul, Eun Hye-gyul, and Eun Gyu-ho. Each child has their own unique personality, and it is evident that they are still coping with the loss of their mother. The father, Eun Sang-chul, is shown as a workaholic who is never home and does not actively participate in his children's lives. It is also revealed that the mother, before her death, had hired a different housekeeper who had abruptly quit after a week due to mysterious circumstances.

Park Bok-nyeo's arrival initially seems to uplift the spirits of the family, as she cooks, cleans, and even teaches the children how to complete household chores. However, her rigid behavior, and refusal to engage in small talk with the family members creates an air of suspicion. Her odd mannerisms also add to the family's discomfort, as she repeatedly performs strange rituals before beginning her work.

As the episode progresses, we slowly begin to unravel Park Bok-nyeo's mysterious past. In a flashback, we see her as a young girl, living in a small room with her mother. Her mother is seen teaching her the ways of a housekeeper and tells her to be respectful to her employers no matter what. It is hinted that Park Bok-nyeo has encountered several difficult situations in her previous jobs, which have forced her to be resilient and adapt to different environments.

The episode ends with a cliffhanger, as we see one of the children accidentally breaking an expensive vase. Park Bok-nyeo's reaction to this incident is unexpected, as she orders the family to gather in the living room and begins to interrogate them. Her suspicious behavior creates a sense of anxiety within the household, and it is clear that there is more to her than meets the eye.

Overall, the first episode of The Suspicious Housekeeper sets the tone for a thrilling and suspenseful series. The characters are well-developed, and the plot is intriguing. Park Bok-nyeo's enigmatic persona keeps the audience captivated, and we are left wondering what secrets she is hiding.
