In Salon de Holmes Episode 3 continues to build buzz every week. The story focuses on four women who solve strange cases inside an apartment complex. It mixes comedy, light action, and some dark mysteries. Viewers are enjoying its fresh tone and unique cast.
Salon de Holmes stands out not only for its story, but also for how it reflects modern issues in Korea—like school bullying and community safety. Many viewers in online forums say the show feels personal, especially for those living in apartment complexes. The sense of shared space, yet hidden danger, adds to the suspense.
The lead, Lee Si-young, plays Miri—a bold former detective. She now helps people in her community. In episode 3, Miri and her team stood up to bullies. They stopped a group of students hurting a boy named Min-woo. He was being forced to run errands and even film things secretly. This made viewers angry. But it also made them happy when the women fought back.
The bullying scenes ended with real consequences. Bullying is a sensitive issue in South Korea, especially among teens. By showing adults stepping in—and doing it legally—the drama makes a point. It’s not just entertainment. It taps into serious conversations about how schools, parents, and society react to silent abuse.
The students didn’t feel sorry, so Miri went to the school with proof. The bullies were punished. This felt fair and gave the episode a strong ending. But just as things seemed calm, something more serious began.
A Dark Figure Appears in the Apartment Complex
Late at night, Miri sees a woman sitting on the ground, scared and pointing. The woman had just seen someone suspicious. Miri looks up and notices a figure hiding in the shadows—a man in a black hoodie. He looks creepy. His face is mostly hidden, but his eyes stand out. They’re sharp and cold.
This man looks just like someone who was seen entering Room 1104—the apartment above Miri’s. The connection is not confirmed, but it raises questions. Could he be the same person? Why is he sneaking around? Is he tied to the past case of the “Ribbon Man,” a suspected serial killer? The show doesn’t give full answers yet. But it makes it clear—something bad is happening.
Miri decides to follow him. She chases him through dark areas of the complex. She doesn’t back down. There’s a face-off. It’s quiet, tense, and dangerous. It’s not a full fight, but it’s a warning. This man might return. Or he may already be part of something bigger.
Trouble in Room 1104 and Rising Fear
Earlier, another strange event happened. A woman’s body was found. She had a ribbon tied around her. The way she died shocked the characters and viewers. It brought a heavier tone to the show. It’s not just about community problems anymore. There may be a killer nearby. This connects to the black hoodie man. He may be more than just a stalker. The show is planting small clues. Each episode adds a little more.
Also, another daughter of the lead women was being followed. Her name is Noh Min-yeo. She also spotted a man in a black hoodie watching her from behind. This wasn’t a one-time thing. He’s been around for a while.
At the end of episode 3, someone is seen carrying a large bag into Room 1104. The man stops right at the door. His clothes match the hoodie man. That bag could hold something important—or something dangerous. The complex residents now face more fear. It’s not just bullies or loud neighbors. It’s fear of someone watching, sneaking, and maybe worse.
As of now, no one knows who the black hoodie man really is. Viewers have their guesses. Some think he’s the killer. Others believe he may be hiding from someone. What’s clear is that he’ll be back.
The tension is growing. But the show also keeps moments of humor and teamwork. That’s why people are watching. The team of women are not heroes in the usual way. They’re not police. They’re regular people with courage. Lee Si-young’s role as Miri keeps the story grounded. She’s strong but not perfect. She gets scared too. But she doesn’t freeze. That makes her easy to like.
The Takeaway
Episode 4 of Salon de Holmes airs on June 24. It will continue right after this chase scene.
