Actor Namkoong Min spotted crucial evidence about the kidnapper's identity and launched a pursuit, while Lee Seul attempted a dramatic escape.
The 5th episode of KBS 2TV Saturday-Sunday miniseries "The Completion of Marriage" (directed by Kim Jung-hyun and Kim Min-tae / written by Jung Jae-ha / produced by Red Nine Pictures and KBS Media), which aired on the 18th, recorded a peak viewership of 7.4% per minute and nationwide viewership of 5.4% based on Nielsen Korea, proving its upward momentum.
In the broadcast that day, Kang Tae-joo (played by Namkoong Min) reactivated Noh Man-hee's (played by Kim Dae-myung) surveillance camera to negotiate over 3 billion won. Kang Tae-joo confirmed his kidnapped wife Go Se-yoon's (played by Lee Seul) survival and had an emotional phone call, but Noh Man-hee shocked Go Se-yoon by exposing that everything was her husband's own scheme.
Following this, Lee Su-hyung (played by Park Byung-eun), consumed by a desire for revenge, fired shots at the vehicle at the transaction site, causing the deal to fall through. During his escape, Lee Su-hyung was hit by Noh Man-hee's vehicle and tragically died. Left alone, Kang Tae-joo traced Lee Su-hyung's clues and his own hospital medical records, finding the chart of a patient who had dropped a sun-shaped button, and revealed the culprit's identity saying, "Huh Jae-il. It was you," sending immersion levels soaring.
At the same time, the confined Go Se-yoon broke free from her bonds and hid in the ceiling beams. When Noh Man-hee appeared with a hammer, she threw a sand timer at him and escaped the room. However, the moment she was shocked to find herself in a perfect state of isolation surrounded by ice, Noh Man-hee's voice echoed from behind, exploding with tension.
Viewers showed enthusiastic responses to the gripping thriller development, Namkoong Min's brain-like deductive reasoning, and Kim Dae-myung's chilling performance. Episode 6 will air tonight at 9:20 p.m. on the 19th.
