Lee Young-ae, Kim Young-kwang and Park Yong-woo overwhelmed home viewers by portraying a cast of people running wild amid truth, revenge and the cycle of crime.
In episode 9 of the KBS 2TV weekend miniseries Walking On Thin Ice (directed by Song Hyun-wook / written by Jeon Young-shin / produced by Baram Pictures·Slingshot Studio), which aired on the 18th, each person's desires exploded and the relationship among Kang Eun-soo (Lee Young-ae), Lee Kyung (Kim Young-kwang) and Jang Tae-gu (Park Yong-woo) reached an irreparable fracture.
In yesterday's broadcast, the truth behind the past murder framing case involving Lee Kyung and the Kang Hwi-rim (Do Sang-woo) family from 10 years ago was revealed. At a party hosted by Hwi-rim in the past, a tragic event occurred when a friend who was forced to drink spiked alcohol collapsed and died. Lee Kyung, who drank the same alcohol under Hwi-rim's coercion, was imprisoned, taking the blame for murder in Hwi-rim's place, and this put his father's company on the brink of bankruptcy. Abandoned even by his family, Lee Kyung tried to make an extreme choice in prison, but after seeing news mentioning Hwi-rim as the group's successor, he resolved to take revenge.
Eun-soo was enraged to learn that Lee Kyung had deceived her. To Jang Tae-gu, who demanded money, she said, "What you want is ultimately that drug. Then buy it with money," and proposed a 2 billion won transaction, and to Lee Kyung she cried, "What I really can't forgive is that you, who know my situation better than anyone, did that." Before her crime was exposed, Eun-soo, who had decided to send her daughter and husband abroad to study, went to Hwi-rim and made a desperate decision, suggesting he buy all the remaining drugs.
Meanwhile, Choi Kyung-do (Kwon Ji-woo) faced an internal affairs investigation as allegations of corruption within the police surfaced, and circumstances showed he had received money from the 'Phantom' organization, casting him as a "money grubber." Kyung-do learned he had been framed by Tae-gu's trap and was furious, and Tae-gu sneered, "I told you not to try so hard," revealing the corrupt police officer's true face who thoroughly uses those around him to satisfy his desires. Tae-gu ordered a rookie detective (Seo Ha-jung) to tail Su-a to tighten the noose around Eun-soo.
Jun-hyun (Son Bo-seung), who regained consciousness in the hospital, went to Eun-soo's house and after looking at a family photo became convinced that the driver who hit him with a car and killed his older brother was Eun-soo. Consumed by rage, he decided to harm Eun-soo's most precious person, her daughter Su-a (Kim Si-a), causing chills.
Park Do-jin (Bae Soo-bin) was shocked to learn that his wife Eun-soo had been preparing Su-a's study abroad without telling him. Earlier, after hearing from Kyung-do that Mi-yeon (Jo Yeon-hee)'s case was indirectly linked to Eun-soo, Do-jin searched Eun-soo's car and found hidden drugs. Su-a, who continued working as a drug courier, was caught by a rookie detective and her close friend Yoon Jin-hee (Seo Eun-sol).
Also, Hwi-rim called Lee Kyung and Eun-soo respectively, saying he would buy all the drugs and lured them to his villa. At the end of the broadcast, Jin-hee, who contacted Tae-gu, reported a photo of Su-a delivering drugs, and Jun-hyun, who was following Su-a, threatened the rookie detective and then appeared before Su-a with a weapon, leading to a shocking ending.
Viewers who watched the broadcast responded passionately with comments such as "Writer, how do you write like this?", "Today's immersion was the best. It ended in an instant", "I can't believe Lee Kyung had such a story. My heart hurts", "I'm so looking forward to a awakened, fierce Eun-soo", "Finally a drama that hits hard after a long time", "A well-made drama after a while. Lee Young-ae, Kim Young-kwang and Park Yong-woo all put on an acting feat", and "In the end, the reason it became like this was family, wasn't it?"
In this way, Walking On Thin Ice drew viewers in with unpredictable developments where the sins and revenge born of each person's desires became entangled and ran rampant. Attention is focused on where the desires of Eun-soo, Lee Kyung and Tae-gu will head, and what ending will follow after the catastrophe.
Meanwhile, episode 10 of the KBS 2TV weekend miniseries Walking On Thin Ice will air tonight (the 19th) at 9:20 p.m.
