"A Bona fide Killer" Kong Hyojin's drunken killer instincts fully erupted. "A Bona fide Killer" set its own highest ratings and rose to No. 1 among all Friday-Saturday dramas. In particular, Kong Hyojin's brutal action scene at the end of the broadcast sent the peak rating soaring to 11%, completing a thrilling ending.
According to audience measurement firm Nielsen Korea on the 8th, the third episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "A Bona fide Killer" (planned by Kwon Seong-chang, written by Kim Eun-hee, directed by Yoon Jong-ho·Kim Ji-hun) that aired on the 7th recorded a nationwide and Seoul metropolitan household rating of 8.3%. This was its own highest rating and corresponds to the No. 1 spot among all Friday-Saturday dramas.
In particular, at the end of that broadcast the action scene in which Yoo Bo-na (played by Kong Hyojin) confronted an organ trafficking organization briefly pushed the peak rating to 11%. After Yoo Bo-na, who had fallen asleep drunk, opened her eyes and said, "Shall I go for it since it's been a while?" she subdued the criminals in an instant, firmly capturing viewers' attention.
In that broadcast, the hidden story between Yoo Bo-na and Oh Hyun-nam (played by Ha Yulli) surrounding the "Kingfisher" shooting incident that occurred 15 years ago was also revealed. Yoo Bo-na told Oh Hyun-nam, "You're the only witness who saw the Kingfisher's shooting scene. Long time no see, Oh Seung-ah," implying that she had been a witness to the past incident. Oh Hyun-nam recalled Yoo Bo-na saving her when she was about to give up on life and welled up with tears.
It was revealed that what Kwon Tae-seong (played by Jung Jun-won) and Yoo Bo-na drank was not poison but a sleeping pill. Oh Hyun-nam revealed her true feelings toward Yoo Bo-na, saying, "You're my Santa, the savior of my life. I want to bring back the old Kingfisher."
But Yoo Bo-na responded, "The person who saved Kingfisher was Kwon Tae-seong." She calmly conveyed her feelings to Oh Hyun-nam, who could not accept her current choice to live as an ordinary married woman. Lee Dong-jin (played by Lee Sang Yi) offered another perspective on the "Kingfisher" case. He expressed a firm stance that private retribution could not be justified, even at the words of Beom Seong-hoon (played by Choi Woo-Sung), who said, "If it weren't for Kingfisher, that daughter would have died."
Lee Dong-jin emphasized that murder cannot be justified for any reason and that no individual has the right to judge others by breaking social agreements. At the same time, he raised curiosity by foreshadowing that in the process of digging into the Kingfisher case from four years ago, he will face another truth he did not know.
Meanwhile, Durumi Electronics sales team 3 went on a workshop to the Taegongsan halbae pension ahead of a new client meeting. At the same time, Lee Dong-jin, investigating a series of disappearances, suspected that the base of the organ trafficking organization might be a lodging facility near Taegongsan. The movements of different characters meshing into a single case heightened the tension.
The sales team 3 workshop was not ordinary from the start. Yoo Bo-na won a drinking contest as the team representative and fell asleep after leaving the chilling joke, "I'm a killer." However, the mood changed rapidly when Ki Young-do (played by Mujin-seong) was shown on an operating table after being struck on the head and the pension halbae (played by Jeong Seon-cheol) appeared with a chilling smile saying, "Time to go hunting."
As people who had not drunk the honey water handed by the pension halmae (played by Park Hye-jin) began to collapse one by one, sales team 3 moved as if nothing had happened and delivered a twist. It turned out that their workshop was a planned operation aimed at the organ trafficking organization's hideout.
Ki Young-do found an electromagnetic shielding device, and Bong Tae-min (played by Kim Nam-hee) discovered the underground organ extraction site using an advanced fly camera. Oh Hyun-nam even prepared an antidote in advance, and each performed their roles flawlessly.
When Ki Young-do flipped the circuit breaker, a message saying "Client pre-meeting approved" arrived for Kim Bong-pal (played by Seong Dong Il), and the bound Kim Bong-pal and Yang Ye-sol (played by Kim Gahee) began a full-scale counterattack.
Kim Bong-pal, a former Army Special Forces member, subdued opponents with overwhelming close-combat skills, and Yang Ye-sol likewise displayed fierce action honed by combat sports. But the situation turned critical again when the pension halbae pulled out a gun.
And at the end of the broadcast, the drunk Yoo Bo-na finally woke up. Yoo Bo-na not only instantly snatched the pension halbae's gun but also easily subdued the large criminals barehanded, unleashing her hidden killer instincts.
Intercut with this was Kwon Tae-seong recalling Yoo Bo-na and saying, "Like a puma, agile; like a lion, brave; like a swan, graceful. Yoo Bo-na was so beautiful then," his voice overlapping.
The wife Yoo Bo-na's spectacular action and her husband Kwon Tae-seong's contrasting view of cherishing it as a beautiful memory completed a "married couple, different dreams" ending, greatly raising anticipation for the next episode.
In this way, "A Bona fide Killer" raised viewers' excitement with its fast-paced development that offers no time to predict, shocking twists and the thrilling team play of sales team 3. In particular, Yoo Bo-na's unexpected action scene beyond imagination heightened dramatic tension to its peak, delivering an exhilarating thrill to living room audiences.
