MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Married Woman Killer' recorded a viewership rating of 8.3% in its third episode, based on nationwide and metropolitan households. This marks first place among Friday-Saturday dramas and a new personal best. According to Nielsen Korea, the momentary viewership rating surged to 11% in the latter half of the broadcast.
In this episode, the Sales Team 3 of Durumi Electronics carried out an operation disguised as a 'workshop' at the Taegongsan Grandpa Pension, suspected of being the base of an organ trafficking ring. Sales Team 3 gathered at the pension ahead of a meeting with a new client. Simultaneously, Lee Dong-jin (played by Lee Sang-yi) was tracking a series of disappearances in the area and investigated the same accommodation. The actions of individuals approaching with different purposes intertwined into a single case, heightening the tension.
During the workshop night, Yoo Bo-na (played by Gong Hyo-jin) stepped up as the team's representative in a drinking contest, held on until the end, and left a joke saying, 'I'm kind of a killer,' before falling asleep. However, the atmosphere shifted dramatically when Ki Young-do (played by Moo Jin-sung) was struck on the head and placed on an operating table, and the true identities of the pension grandpa (played by Jung Sun-chul) and grandma (played by Park Hye-jin) were revealed.
Those who drank the honey water offered by the grandma collapsed one by one, but Sales Team 3 remained fine. This was because their visit was a meticulously planned operation targeting the organ trafficking ring's hideout. As the operation began in earnest, Ki Young-do discovered an electromagnetic wave-blocking device, and Bong Tae-min (played by Kim Nam-hee) used a fly-shaped camera to confirm the underground organ extraction site. Oh Hyun-nam (played by Ha Yul-ri) had prepared a drug neutralizer in advance, ensuring the team's safety.
When the power breaker was shut off, the bound Kim Bong-pal (played by Sung Dong-il) and Yang Ye-sol (played by Kim Ga-hee) launched a counterattack. True to his Special Forces background, Kim Bong-pal displayed overwhelming skills in close combat, and Yang Ye-sol also used her experience in combat sports to subdue the criminals. However, the situation spiraled back into crisis when the pension grandpa pulled out a gun.
At that moment, the sleeping Yoo Bo-na woke up and turned the tide. Yoo Bo-na disarmed the pension grandpa and subdued even the large-built criminals bare-handed, unleashing her hidden killer instinct. This scene marked the peak viewership moment of the broadcast, captivating the audience's attention. The交叉 narration of Kwon Tae-sung (played by Jung Joon-won) was also impressive. He recalled Yoo Bo-na as 'a woman as nimble as a puma, as brave as a lion, and as graceful as a swan,' highlighting the conflicting emotions with her husband, who is unaware of his wife's true identity.
The broadcast also shed light on the past of Yoo Bo-na and Oh Hyun-nam, tied to the Kingfisher sniper shooting incident that occurred on Christmas 15 years ago. Yoo Bo-na told Oh Hyun-nam, 'The only witness who saw the Kingfisher's sniping scene. Long time no see, Oh Seung-a,' hinting that Oh Hyun-nam was the sole witness to the incident at the time.
Oh Hyun-nam, who had received Yoo Bo-na's help at the moment she was about to give up on life, remembered her as her savior. Oh Hyun-nam expressed her desire to return to the past, saying, 'You were my Santa, the savior of my life. I want to set things right again. Back to the old Kingfisher.' On the other hand, Yoo Bo-na showed an attitude of accepting the present, saying, 'The person who saved Kingfisher is Kwon Tae-sung, that man.'
Regarding the Kingfisher incident, Lee Dong-jin clearly stated his position that 'murder cannot be justified for any reason,' emphasizing that no individual has the right to judge another. As he continues to dig into the past incident, another truth yet to be uncovered was also foreshadowed.
Based on the popular Kakao webtoon of the same name, 'Married Woman Killer' is drawing viewers' interest with its fast-paced development, plot twists, Sales Team 3's teamwork, and Yoo Bo-na's action-packed surprises. The next episode will air on the afternoon of the 8th.
