'A Good Competition' this time Jung Soo-bin comforted Lee Hye-ri.
From February 24 to 27, the STUDIO X+U drama 'A Good Competition' (planned by: STUDIO X+U / produced by: YLAB Flex, STUDIO X+U / directed by: Kim Tae-hee / written by: Kim Tae-hee, Min Yae-ji) episodes 9-12 gradually revealed the truth related to the death of Woo Seul-gi's (Jung Soo-bin) father Woo Do-hyuk (Lee Won-jae) and the disappearance of Yu Jae-na (Choo Ye-jin), Yu Jae-i's (Lee Hye-ri) sister. The unexpected twists in the narrative have significantly heightened viewers' engagement.
In episode 9, Seul-gi, who had been stabbed by Kim Beom-soo (Kim Sang-ji), underwent surgery at Yoo Tae-jun's (Kim Tae-hoon) hospital. Jae-i personally operated on Seul-gi's surgery, and she was able to wake up safely. At the hospital, Seul-gi was shocked to see Tae-jun bringing in bodies without identification. In particular, one of the bodies with burns on its foot caught her attention, and she observed it intently.
In episode 10, Seul-gi returned to school after being discharged. However, during the investigation of the stabbing incident, Beom-soo falsely claimed that Seul-gi had given him drugs. Jo Ah-ra (Chae Seo-eun), who had actually sold drugs to students, disposed of all the drugs she had to Seul-gi and reported to the police due to her anxiety. When Jae-i discovered that Seul-gi was being set up as a drug distributor, she used Do-hyuk's phone to rescue Seul-gi through Je-na. Although Seul-gi was safe, Je-na was kidnapped by mysterious individuals and disappeared again.
In episode 11, Jae-i and Seul-gi were seen collaborating to find Je-na. They learned that Choi Kyung (Oh Woo-ri) had met Je-na during the festival and confronted him. At that moment, someone lured Jae-i to the club, saying they would reveal Je-na's whereabouts, which led Jae-i, Seul-gi, and Kyung to the club. There, Kyung discovered that the person who called Jae-i to the club was Joo Ye-ri (Kang Hye-won), and at the same time, Jae-i's tension escalated as she met Nam Byeong-jin (Yeong-jae).
In episode 12, the five people confirmed a common goal: to find Je-na in order to solve their questions. Byeong-jin stated that Je-na had the fake ID of Su-jin, whom he was searching for, explaining the reason they needed to find Je-na. However, at that moment, Jae-i received news that Je-na was dead, and she headed to the hospital where the contact was made with Seul-gi in Byeong-jin's car.
Seeing Je-na's body, which was so severely disfigured that she was unrecognizable, Jae-i was shocked. Seul-gi comforted the self-blaming Jae-i, saying, 'Jae-i, it's not your fault.' After observing the burn marks on Je-na's body, Seul-gi set out to find her orphanage senior Su-jin, who had the same burn marks. In the meantime, Ye-ri and Kyung located the goshiwon where Je-na had lived.
Although they were tracking different individuals, Seul-gi, Ye-ri, and Kyung met at a single goshiwon. Seul-gi heard at the goshiwon that Su-jin was already dead, and Ye-ri and Kyung used a key they found in the medical club room to open Je-na's door. Inside Je-na's room, there were numerous problems written down, including killer questions from the math portion of the college entrance exam, which shocked the three as it heightened their curiosity about the next episode.
What exactly did Je-na experience while living in the goshiwon? As the story unfolds with twists upon twists, increasingly intriguing mysteries and the truth of the incidents are gradually revealed, captivating the audience through the evolving relationships between characters in 'A Good Competition.' The next story is highly anticipated.
Meanwhile, with only 4 episodes remaining until its conclusion, the STUDIO X+U drama 'A Good Competition' is released every week at midnight on U+tv and U+mobiletv on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.
