With only two episodes left until the conclusion, ENA's Monday-Tuesday drama "The Defects" signals an intense rush towards its ending.
The upcoming 7th episode, airing today, Nov. 11, at 10 p.m., showcases children who narrowly survived the flames and the complex emotions of the characters as the plot accelerates towards its climax.
In the last episode, the children were pushed to the brink of death due to Jung-hyun (Kim Jin-young), heightening the tension. Kim Ah-hyun (Won Jina) witnessed the tragic death of Seok-soo (Oh Seung-jun) right before her eyes and burst into tears, with the shock further fueling her thirst for revenge. Meanwhile, Kim Se-hee's (Yum Jung-ah) daughter Ah-hyun (Kim Ji-an) chose to stay with the children, leading the storyline into a new phase.
As a breathless story development is anticipated until the end, stills released ahead of today's broadcast captured the children who escaped from the flames. Curiosity is heightened regarding how they managed to survive in such a life-threatening crisis.
In another still, Ah-hyun, Joo-an (Ahn Ji-ho), So-mi (Lee Na-eun), and Choi Si-woo (Kang Ji-yong) are seen shedding tears over Seok-soo's departure, evoking sympathy from viewers.
In particular, Ah-hyun, who resolved to seek revenge to make the children happy, appears lost in thought, staring blankly into the void, seemingly engulfed in deep confusion. With anxiety creeping in, it remains to be seen whether Ah-hyun will stop her revenge or gather her composure once again to take aim at Se-hee.
Meanwhile, changes are also afoot for Jung-hyun, who only followed Se-hee's absolute orders. The coldness in his gaze wavered subtly when he faced Se-hee's daughter. Attention is drawn to how Jung-hyun's emotional cracks, which he has lived with while excluding feelings, will lead to certain choices and what impact those decisions will have on the future developments.
"The Defects," nearing its conclusion, maintains a tense balance on the verge of characters' psychological breakdowns and relationships until the very end.
