'Married Woman Killer', atop the chart of topicality indicators since its first broadcast, has emerged as a rising powerhouse in Saturday-Sunday dramas.
'Married Woman Killer' (Planned by Kwon Sung-chang / Written by Kim Eun-hee / Directed by Yoon Jong-ho, Kim Ji-hoon / Produced by Bonpactory, Baram Pictures, Studio Pim) secured 1st place in the TV division and TV-OTT drama news division in the 5th week of July, proving its high interest. Lead actor Gong Hyo-jin also ranked 2nd in topicality among TV-OTT drama cast members. The show achieved not only 1st place in viewership during the same time slot but also 1st place in the 20-54 age group viewership, which is a key indicator, and also topped the OTT integrated rankings.
In the past 1st and 2nd episodes, the double life of Yu Bo-na (played by Gong Hyo-jin), oscillating between an ordinary working mother and sniper 'Kingfisher,' and the intertwined relationships of characters were depicted. Key plot threads for future developments were examined.
▲ Gong Hyo-jin-Jung Jun-won, a connection to the past Kingfisher incident? Secrets that must be hidden because they love each other!
Yu Bo-na returned as the head of Sales Team 3 and a killer after completing three years of parental leave. In her first meeting after returning to work, she subdued a criminal and announced Kingfisher's return. Meanwhile, Kwon Tae-sung (played by Jung Jun-won), a journalist, uncovered the truth about a failed vehicle explosion accident and learned of Kingfisher's return. When it was revealed that Kwon Tae-sung had nearly lost his life at a past Kingfisher sniping scene, it hinted at past connections. Attention is focused on the relationship between Yu Bo-na, who must hide her identity, and Kwon Tae-sung, who pursues Kingfisher.
In particular, Yu Bo-na's past of growing up in an orphanage, the time she lived as a killer, and the process of nurturing love with Kwon Tae-sung briefly intersect, leaving questions about her past life. Expectations are building for how the ironic relationship between Yu Bo-na, who must hide her identity to protect her family, and Kwon Tae-sung, who has no choice but to pursue Kingfisher, will change in the future.
▲ Baby Shark sticker left at the sniping scene! Suspicions surrounding Kingfisher?
The Baby Shark sticker found at the sniping scene by Lee Dong-jin (played by Lee Sang-yi) raised new suspicions. Kwon Tae-sung made a tongue-in-cheek guess, and later when the same sticker was found on Yu Bo-na's clothes, tension heightened. The Baby Shark sticker serves as an important clue linking Kingfisher's past and Yu Bo-na's present life.
▲ Gong Hyo-jin-Ha Yul-ri, two people entangled by a Christmas sniping incident 15 years ago!
Oh Hyun-nam (played by Ha Yul-ri), who appeared before Yu Bo-na, added tension as a new employee of Sales Team 3 and poison expert. Oh Hyun-nam's identity was that of a witness to the sniping incident of her father Oh Man-seok (played by Kim Won-hae) 15 years ago. Oh Hyun-nam administered poison to Kwon Tae-sung and then blackmailed Yu Bo-na, and Yu Bo-na chose a head-on confrontation by drinking poison herself to save her husband. Attention is on what kind of repercussions the reunion of these two people will bring.
The 3rd episode of 'Married Woman Killer,' based on the webtoon of the same name from Kakao Webtoon, will air on the 7th (Friday) at 9:50 PM.
