The emotional roller coaster in A Child Who Looks Like Me (also known as The Child Who Resembles Me) is about to hit its steepest drop yet in A Child Who Looks Like Me Chapter 56. We’ve been watching Jeong-o and Jiheon dance around the truth for months, but the “amnesia” excuse is starting to wear thin. Now that their daughter, Yena, is officially in the picture, the secret Jeong-o has been guarding for seven years is practically screaming to be told. If you’re here for the “secret child” drama and the angst of a forgotten first love, this chapter is a must-read.
Highlights
> The DNA Revelation: Jiheon is finally piecing together the timeline of his memory loss and the age of Jeong-o’s daughter, leading to a high-tension realization that Yena is his.
> The "First Love" Curse: As the two navigate their reunion, the emotional scars of their college romance resurface, proving that Jiheon’s instincts might be stronger than his erased memories.
> A Family Fractured: Jeong-o struggles to decide whether to let Jiheon back into their lives, fearing that the truth might cause more pain than the seven-year silence did.
The recent chapters of Season 2 have been focusing on the fallout of Jiheon and Jeong-o’s unexpected reunion.
The Seven-Year Gap: We learned that Jiheon’s memory of their entire college romance was wiped by a car accident, leaving Jeong-o to raise their daughter alone while he became a successful, though hollow, businessman.
The Instinct: In Chapter 55, Jiheon’s body seemed to remember Jeong-o even if his mind didn’t. His “heavy obsession” and desperate need to keep her close have made it impossible for Jeong-o to just fade away like she planned.
The Paternity Question: Jiheon has started noticing that Yena looks “half and half” like him and Jeong-o. The chapter ended with him practically begging Jeong-o to confirm his suspicions, a scene filled with raw desperation.

The Truth Confrontation: Spoilers suggest A Child Who Looks Like Me Chapter 56 will feature a pivotal moment where Jiheon stops asking and starts demanding answers. Expect a scene where he compares his own childhood photos to Yena’s, making the connection undeniable.
Jeong-o’s Breaking Point: Jeong-o is rumored to finally lose her “cool” facade. Instead of another lie, she might finally admit how much it hurt to see him forget her while she was struggling with an unexpected pregnancy.
A Dangerous Impulse: Fans are speculating that Jiheon might try to “reclaim” his family all at once, leading to a territorial move that might actually push Jeong-o further away as she tries to protect Yena’s stability.
