"Manager Kim" So Jisub forced to kneel by the "villain" Joo Sang-Wook, who repented.
On the 18th, Joo Sang-Wook posted on his social account, "It hurts.. I will live kindly," along with several photos.
In the released photos, Joo Sang-Wook transformed into "Manager Kim" Joo Gang-chan. It appears to be when filming the scene in which he knelt before Manager Kim in the last broadcast, and Joo Sang-Wook prepared thoroughly with a face makeup covered in blood.
The once neat-looking Joo Sang-Wook soon became covered in blood and knelt before So Jisub. Joo Sang-Wook conveyed the feeling that Joo Gang-chan had become himself, saying, "It hurts," and repented, "I will live kindly," drawing attention.
In the SBS Friday-Saturday drama "Manager Kim" broadcast on the 17th, Manager Kim (So Jisub) joined forces with Seong Han-su (Choi Dae-hoon) and Park Jin-chul (Yoon Kyung-ho) to dramatically protect daughter Min-ji (Seo Sumin) and then directly punish Joo Gang-chan (Joo Sang-Wook), the root and mastermind of all evil, in a rapidly unfolding scene. Amid a rescue operation of spectacular scale, including sleep gas terror, a container chase and a suffocating bare-knuckle fight, Choi Dae-hoon's intense taekwondo action and Yoon Kyung-ho's life-risking brawl exploded, completing a perfect team play of fathers.
The seventh episode aired that day recorded a peak rating of 25.5%, 22.6% in the metropolitan area and 21.9% nationwide (according to Nielsen Korea), showing another increase from the previous week and achieving the remarkable feat of ranking first in its time slot for seven consecutive episodes. In particular, it further solidified its position at the top of mini-series ratings for 2026, and the 20-49 demographic rating also rose to a peak of 8.5%, sweeping both ratings and buzz.
