'Mary Kills People' Kang Ki-young is captured without Lee Bo-young, as he sets out with drug dealer Baek Hyun-jin for assisted death, raising a sense of crisis.
The currently airing MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Mary Kills People' (written by Lee Soo-ah, directed by Park Jun-woo) is a suspense drama about a doctor who assists terminally ill patients in dying and a detective who tracks them down. 'Mary Kills People' brings to the forefront the provocative subject of assisted death through the stories of realistic patients suffering from extreme pain, adding special significance as a 'thought-provoking content.'
In the recent broadcast, Woo So-jung (played by Lee Bo-young) assisted in the death of her ex-boyfriend Mina (played by Moon Hee) after deep contemplation two years ago. This moment marked the beginning of assisted death with Choi Dae-hyun (played by Kang Ki-young). Choi Dae-hyun attempted to confess this fact to save Woo So-jung, who was urgently arrested as a suspect in a murder case, but he ultimately was unable to reveal it, causing regret.
Relatedly, in the upcoming episode 8 airing on the night of the 29th at 10 p.m., Kang Ki-young is seen kneeling before drug dealer Baek Hyun-jin, evoking a sense of foreboding as the two head out to meet a patient. In a scene where Choi Dae-hyun is forcibly dragged by the henchmen of Koo Kwang-cheol (played by Baek Hyun-jin), he kneels and appeals to Koo Kwang-cheol, who responds with crazed eyes and harsh verbal assaults.
Notably, Choi Dae-hyun without Woo So-jung creates intense tension as he faces a terminally ill patient together with Koo Kwang-cheol. The contrast between Choi Dae-hyun's attempt to remain calm despite hidden trembling fears and Koo Kwang-cheol's excitement and anticipation for a new venture raises interest in what kind of plans the two will devise in their secretive business.
Additionally, Kang Ki-young skillfully expressed the complex emotional changes through the scene of 'dangerous solo accompaniment with a drug dealer' without Lee Bo-young. In front of the brutal drug dealer, he vividly portrayed the desperation of not knowing when he might lose his life, juxtaposed with the determination to protect Lee Bo-young, achieving an immersive scene through his intricate portrayal of inner conflict even under the pressure from Baek Hyun-jin.
The production team said, 'Kang Ki-young reaches a decisive turning point by accepting Baek Hyun-jin's request to ensure Lee Bo-young no longer faces danger,' and added, 'Please watch the eighth episode, which will bring about an entirely unexpected twist with the collaboration between Kang Ki-young and Baek Hyun-jin.'
