SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Shin I-rang law firm' Yoo Yeon-seok swallowed the deceased's grievance and anger into his whole body and was arrested as the murderer in a shocking ending that consumed the living room.
On the 27th (Fri), the broadcast of SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Shin I-rang law firm' (directed by Shin Jung-hoon, written by Kim Ga-young·Kang Cheol-gyu, produced by StudioS·Mongjakso) episode 5 unfolded the turbulent pursuit of truth by Shin I-rang (Yoo Yeon-seok), who took genius life scientist Jeon Sang-ho (Yoon Na Moo), who was killed by his wife, as a client. Ratings were 9.0% in the Seoul metropolitan area, 8.7% nationwide, and a peak of 10.3% in minute-by-minute ratings. This not only placed it first in its time slot but also first in household ratings among all Friday broadcasts. The 20-49 target rating was 2.3%, peaking at 3.02%, proving its buzz.
A remarkable deceased arrived for Shin I-rang, who had awakened as a "ghost specialist lawyer." He denied the fact that he had become a dead person after dying on the grounds that "the existence of ghosts violates the law of conservation of energy," then possessed Shin I-rang and wrote equations all over the blackboard as if mad. Startled by the formula barrage, brother-in-law Yoon Bong-su (Jun Suk-ho) searched and discovered that he was the genius life scientist Jeon Sang-ho, who had won the 'Scientist of the Year' award three years in a row. In the returned memories, the person who killed him was his wife Kim Su-jeong (Jung Ga-hee). But Jeon Sang-ho did not want his wife to pay for her sin. He blamed himself for being so absorbed in research that he could not care for his wife, who was struggling with postpartum depression and child care, and above all, he did not want to take the mother away from his son.
Meanwhile, Hanna Hyun (Esom) took on Kim Su-jeong's defense. Kim Su-jeong, who was indicted on the charge of killing her husband, was acquitted in the first trial because the body and murder weapon were not found, leaving a lack of evidence and motive for murder. She also testified that although she argued with her husband, she did not kill him. However, the mood reversed in the second trial, resumed after the prosecution found new evidence on appeal. Blood from Jeon Sang-ho was found on a shower curtain and carpet recovered from a crematorium on the outskirts of the couple's dwellings, and droplet bloodstain analysis estimated the perpetrator's height at 170cm or more, raising the possibility of an accomplice. At the prosecution's claim, Kim Su-jeong began to show agitation, biting her nails and with her gaze shaking sharply. Then she poured out an extreme confession denying the existence of an accomplice, saying, "I killed my husband alone. I stepped on the child's footstool, climbed up and killed him."
Hanna Hyun suspected that Kim Su-jeong had made a false confession to protect someone and began tracking the person behind it. In that process, she heard another circumstance from Koo Hyo-jung (Um Joon-gi), a research institute employee and an old friend of Kim Su-jeong. Research institute director Kim Tae-joon (Kim Hong-pa) had intentionally arranged the marriage between his daughter Kim Su-jeong and chief researcher Jeon Sang-ho because of a wife suffering from a rare disease. But Jeon Sang-ho suddenly stopped research on a treatment, causing conflict with his father-in-law, and Koo Hyo-jung claimed that Kim Su-jeong took the blame for her father's sin.
What Hanna Hyun discovered was not limited to that. Before the appeal trial, Shin I-rang told Hanna Hyun information she did not know: that Jeon Sang-ho had indeed been killed by his wife and that the murder took place in the bathroom, and he claimed the unbelievable assertion that all this was told by Jeon Sang-ho after he became a ghost. When Hanna Hyun could not hide her horror, he suggested she check the handwriting by showing the formulas he had written on the blackboard when he was possessed by Jeon Sang-ho. Hanna Hyun witnessed Jeon Sang-ho's handwriting at the institute and was shocked. It was a moment that raised curiosity about whether she would now acknowledge Shin I-rang's haunted secret.
Meanwhile, Shin I-rang inferred that Jeon Sang-ho's parents had visited a shaman's house to find their son's body and tracked the place where the body was abandoned. Based on the fact that perpetrators usually abandon bodies in places familiar to them, and relying on Jeon Sang-ho's memory, he identified a hill behind the institute where there were no CCTVs, it would not attract attention, and vehicles could pass, and found traces of the body being moved there. At that moment, when Jeon Sang-ho reached the deduction that his wife could not have loaded and moved an adult man's body alone, his father-in-law's face flashed. Synchronizing strongly with the agitated Jeon Sang-ho, Shin I-rang gradually lost control and eventually, consumed by rage, headed to Kim Tae-joon's house.
Racing with the cry "Why did you kill me!" a rampaging Shin I-rang violently threatened Kim Tae-joon, creating extreme tension. At the moment it almost escalated to an irreversible situation, mother Park Kyung-hwa (Kim Mi-kyung) ran in at the priest Mateo's (Jung Seung-gil) guess that seeing his own corpse would have driven his rage to the extreme and led him to seek a target for revenge, and she blocked him with her body to barely stop the tragedy. Relief that the possession broke as Shin I-rang was soaked by rain did not last long: the situation reversed as police burst in. The prosecution said a glove with Shin I-rang's fingerprints was found near the site where Jeon Sang-ho's body was abandoned, and they urgently arrested him. The shocking ending of Shin I-rang, who cried injustice, being taken away as a suspect instantly turned the tables and exploded curiosity about the next episode.
'Shin I-rang law firm' episode 6 will be broadcast today (28th) at 9:50 p.m.
