'A Bona fide Killer' finally surpassed double-digit ratings. Lead actor Jung Jun-won showed a controversy over his attitude during an entertainment program appearance, but Kong Hyojin covered for him, and the chemistry between the two produced the result.
According to ratings research firm Nielsen Korea on the 16th, the sixth episode of the MBC Fri-Sat drama 'A Bona fide Killer' (planning by Kwon Seong-chang, script by Kim Eun-hee, directed by Yoon Jong-ho and Kim Ji-hun, produced by Bon Factory, Baram Pictures, Studio Pim) that aired on the 15th recorded 10.2% nationwide household rating and 9.8% capital region household rating.
This was 0.4 percentage points higher than the 9.8% recorded by episode 5 that aired on the 14th, and it is the drama's highest rating. It was the top program across all channels in the same time slot. With this, 'A Bona fide Killer' surpassed double-digit ratings in three weeks since its premiere, captivating home viewers.
In particular, the scene in which Lee Dong-jin (Lee Sang Yi) and Beom Seong-hoon (Choi Woo-Sung), who were lying in wait in a car, heard on the news about Kingfisher's "one-shot two-kill" and immediately departed for the scene surged to a peak rating of 11.8%, and the 20-54 rating, a core competitiveness indicator reflecting changes in media consumption environment, was 3.5%, ranking first among all programs aired that day.
In the broadcast that day, Yoo Bo-na (Kong Hyojin) shot a criminal who had escaped the law through power with a single shot that killed two birds with one stone, successfully completing a joint operation with the local team.
After learning each other's plans, the sales team 3 and the local team launched a one-shot two-kill operation. Moon Da-rae (Moon Seung-yu) lured Tak Jong-gu (Kim Min-jun) into Cheon Seong-gil's (Kim Jong-gu) room, and while the two struggled, Yoo Bo-na prepared to snipe from a cable car across the way. At the decisive moment when Tak Jong-gu's and Cheon Seong-gil's heads overlapped, Yoo Bo-na took them both out with a single shot. She perfectly concluded the operation with the offhand remark "one-two client meeting concluded."
Kwon Tae-seong (Jung Jun-won) was stunned by the news of Tak Jong-gu's and Cheon Seong-gil's deaths, and his past ties with Tak Jong-gu were revealed. Seeing Tak Jong-gu, who was acquitted five years ago, give money to a lawyer and plan a celebration party, Kwon Tae-seong was overwhelmed with anger and despair. He eventually, drunk, went to see his lover Yoo Bo-na and burst into tears, saying, "Bad people should be punished, but there is nothing I can do," evoking sympathy.
At the end of the broadcast, the mismatched first meeting between Yoo Bo-na and Kwon Tae-seong was revealed, and the ending, in which Yoo Bo-na, dressed as a red demon, found Kwon Tae-seong collapsed and bleeding, heightened curiosity.
