Trolley: What to expect from the upcoming drama?

According to asianwiki, the show's plot centers on a secret that the lead character Kim Hye-ju has kept for years. However, the secret is outed and the show portrays the consequences of the same. The official plot synopsis reads:

"Joong-Do and Hye-Ju are a married couple. Joong-Do is a member of the National Assembly and he is driven to make the world a better place. His wife Hye-Ju runs a book repair shop. She hides a secret, that even Joong-Do does not know. Hye-Ju wants a peaceful and normal life. Even though her husband is a politician, Hye-Ju has never sought publicity or appeared in the media.

The teaser for Trolley centers on this very secret as well. Continually, the short video attempts to pique the interest of the audience by hinting at something that is at play here in the background.
