A Bona fide Killer's Kong Hyojin delivered intense tension as she shot Kim Min-sang with a one-shot, one-kill after a desperate chase.
On the 29th, episode 10 of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama A Bona fide Killer (planned by Kwon Seong-chang, written by Kim Eun-hee, directed by Yoon Jong-ho and Kim Ji-hun) aired, depicting Yoo Bo-na (Kong Hyojin), Kwon Tae-seong (Jung Jun-won) and Lee Dong-jin (Lee Sang Yi) confronting Jang Eun-hak (Kim Min-sang) at the sniper scene as the investigative net around Kingfisher gradually tightened.
The broadcast recorded a nationwide household rating of 9.9% and a metropolitan area household rating of 9.7% according to Nielsen Korea, ranking first in its time slot across all channels. In particular, the scene in which Yoo Bo-na sang "Baekmansongi Jangmi" at a karaoke rose to an instantaneous peak rating of 13.3%, leaving a deep impression. The 20-54 rating was also 3.3%, ranking first among all programs aired that day, proving its hot popularity.
The broadcast revealed a past conversation between Kwon Tae-seong and Lee Dong-jin. Kwon Tae-seong asked Lee Dong-jin, "What if Kingfisher kills Jang Eun-hak?" and Lee Dong-jin, calling Kingfisher also a murderer, expressed his determination to put them on trial.
At that moment, Yoo Bo-na, who had been sitting in the back seat, bumped into Lee Dong-jin, stood up and provoked him, saying, "Cheer up, future detective." The strange connection among the three, continuing from the past, added interest to the drama.
Back in the present, tension reached a climax as Yoo Bo-na, Kwon Tae-seong and Lee Dong-jin gathered at the Jang Eun-hak sniper scene. As the chase between Jang Eun-hak and Lee Dong-jin continued, Yoo Bo-na became confused upon learning that Kwon Tae-seong had come to the scene.
Despite Ki Young-do's (played by Moo Jin-seong) objections, Yoo Bo-na moved her sniper position following Jang Eun-hak's movements and continued the mission. When Lee Dong-jin aimed his gun at Jang Eun-hak, Yoo Bo-na fired the trigger first. After successfully eliminating Jang Eun-hak, Yoo Bo-na later discovered Kwon Tae-seong and urgently hid herself.
Lee Dong-jin headed to the rooftop, which had been Kingfisher's sniper point. There he met Kwon Tae-seong and cried out, "I am so glad Jang Eun-hak is dead. And I am ashamed of myself like this," evoking sorrow.
Kwon Tae-seong, who believes the law is not perfect, and Lee Dong-jin, who believes his role is to catch criminals within the bounds of the law, were firmly at odds. The two men's divergent views on Jang Eun-hak's death heightened curiosity about what choices they will make going forward.
Kwon Tae-seong recalled the silhouette of Kingfisher he had witnessed at the Jang Eun-hak sniper scene. Doubts began to arise for Kwon Tae-seong, who had until now believed Kingfisher to be male.
Amid the uproar caused by Kingfisher's unusual alleyway crimes, Kwon Tae-seong retraced the Kingfisher sniper attack in Haegong-dong that occurred four years earlier. He learned that Yeon Chang-bok's (played by Lee Gyu-seop) son had lost his ability to speak from the shock of witnessing his father being killed in front of him and was later placed in an orphanage, leaving him shaken.
Meanwhile, Yoo Bo-na had a meeting with the mothers at her daughter Kwon Yul's (played by Hwang Bom-yi) daycare. Though a conflict arose from a quarrel among the children, Yoo Bo-na calmly led the conversation by considering each other's positions rather than deciding who was at fault. Yoo Bo-na's way of wisely resolving conflict in her own manner added warmth.
On Ki Young-do and Kwon Se-a's (played by Lee Eunsaem) date, a subtle battle of nerves unfolded with Beom Seong-hoon (played by Choi Woo-Sung). Suddenly appearing masked assailants were swiftly subdued by Kwon Se-a, delivering a twist. It turned out that Kwon Se-a was a former member of the national women's judo reserve team.
It was revealed that Beom Seong-hoon was also a former men's judo Asian Games gold medalist who became a police officer through special recruitment. As Kwon Se-a and Beom Seong-hoon, who share judo as a common ground, showed good chemistry, Ki Young-do watched in a complex state of mind. The trio's full-fledged love triangle was foreshadowed, adding another layer of fun.
At the end of the broadcast, a special task force dedicated to Kingfisher was formed centered on Lee Dong-jin. At the same time, Kwon Tae-seong visited the orphanage where Yeon Chang-bok's son was staying.
At that moment, scenes alternated between Yoo Bo-na smiling as she looked at flowers at Ok-i Flower Shop and the sticker of Ok-i Flower Shop placed behind Kwon Tae-seong, heightening the tension. The contrast between Kwon Tae-seong and Lee Dong-jin, who are approaching Kingfisher's identity step by step, and Yoo Bo-na, who is living a peaceful life unaware of anything, completed a gripping ending.
