"Mary Kills People" Lee Bo-young and Lee Min-ki face an unprecedented crisis, signaling a tumultuous narrative of "red alert."
The recently aired MBC Friday-Saturday drama "Mary Kills People" (written by Lee Soo-ah, directed by Park Jun-woo) is a suspense drama that focuses on a doctor assisting terminally ill patients in dying and a detective who pursues them. "Mary Kills People" poignantly highlights the heavy topic of assisted death while posing philosophical questions about the essence of human life and death.
In the 10th episode aired recently, Ban Ji-hoon (played by Lee Min-ki) visits Woo So-jung (played by Lee Bo-young) to relay the results of his investigation into assisted death, indicating an imminent arrest. Ban Ji-hoon informs Woo So-jung that Choi Jae-hyun (played by Kang Ki-young) procured Benzo-nitro and that supplier Koo Kwang-cheol (played by Baek Hyun-jin) and high school student Cho Su-young (played by Lee Won-jung) are under suspicion of murder, which causes Woo So-jung to pause and request more time, raising apprehension.
In connection to this, the 11th episode airing tonight (6th) at 10 p.m. will capture the moment when Lee Bo-young and Lee Min-ki find themselves at a crossroads between life and death, creating a "serious incident shoot." In a scene where Woo So-jung, who had visited drug dealer Koo Kwang-cheol's house, collapses on the sofa, Ban Ji-hoon aims his gun as he enters. Woo So-jung lies unconscious, and Ban Ji-hoon, shocked, grips the gun with a desperate gaze. As Woo So-jung falls helplessly and Ban Ji-hoon aims his weapon with explosive anger, the tension escalates about what fate awaits the two.
Lee Bo-young and Lee Min-ki delivered a breathtaking performance in the "red alert" scene, which is the most dangerous situation as they approach the conclusion with just two episodes left. Lee Bo-young skillfully portrays the precarious state of Woo So-jung, who appears to be losing consciousness, creating a tense atmosphere on set. Lee Min-ki captivates the mood with his intense gaze, embodying Ban Ji-hoon's anger and protective instinct towards Woo So-jung, which intermingles with confusion. Together, Lee Bo-young and Lee Min-ki encapsulate the tempestuous changes of the situation, culminating in a gripping scene filled with extreme tension.
The production team noted, "The scene where Lee Bo-young and Lee Min-ki are at a life-and-death crisis will serve as a decisive moment hinting at a narrative that fluctuates like a roller coaster," and added, "With the heartfelt performances of Lee Bo-young and Lee Min-ki, viewers can expect gripping suspense. Please stay tuned for the last two episodes of 'Mary Kills People.'" It will air tonight at 10 p.m.
