'Wife Killer' achieved a peak viewership rating of 11% with thrilling action.

In the third episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Wife Killer' (script by Kim Eun-hee, directed by Yoon Jong-ho and Kim Ji-hoon, produced by Bon Factory, Barum Pictures, Studio Pim), which aired on the 7th, a mission to dismantle a long-term trading organization from the second team of the electronic sales department at Duremi Electronics, who had gone on a workshop, unfolded.

The viewership rating for that day's broadcast reached 8.3% nationwide and in the Seoul metropolitan area based on Nielsen Korea household data, setting a new record for its own highest rating and securing first place among all Friday-Saturday dramas. In particular, a thrilling action scene where Yu Bo-na (played by Gong Hyo-jin), who had fallen asleep drunk, woke up and said, "Shall we go take a look since it's been a while?" instantly subdued the long-term trading group, causing the peak viewership rating to surge to 11%.

In that day's broadcast, hidden stories between Yu Bo-na and Oh Hyun-nam (played by Ha Yul-ri) surrounding the Kingfisher gun sniper incident from 15 years ago on Christmas were revealed. Yu Bo-na smiled, saying, "The only witness who saw Kingfisher's sniper scene. It's been a while, Oh Seung-a," while Oh Hyun-nam recalled Yu Bo-na, who had saved her at the moment she was about to give up on life.

What Yu Bo-na and Kwon Tae-sung (played by Jung Jun-won) drank was not poison but a sleeping pill, and Oh Hyun-nam stood firmly, saying, "You are my Santa, my savior of life. I want to turn back time. Back to the old Kingfisher." In response, Yu Bo-na conveyed her true feelings to Oh Hyun-nam, who could not accept her choice to live as an ordinary married woman, by stating, "The person who saved Kingfisher is Kwon Tae-sung himself."

Lee Dong-jin (played by Lee Sang) expressed a firm conviction regarding private sanctions in relation to the Kingfisher incident. In response to Beom Seong-hoon's (played by Choi Woo-seong) remark, "If it weren't for Kingfisher, his daughter would have died," he firmly stated that murder could never be justified under any circumstances and that no one has the right to break social agreements and personally judge someone. Additionally, he left a meaningful comment suggesting that digging into the Kingfisher incident from four years ago would reveal another side of him, sparking curiosity.

The second team of Duremi Electronics' sales department went on a workshop to Taegongsan Grandpa's Pension ahead of a new client meeting. At the same time, Lee Dong-jin estimated that the headquarters of the long-term trading organization might be in accommodation facilities near Taegongsan and launched an investigation into the serial disappearance cases. The two different situations coincidentally aligned perfectly.

As the night of the Duremi Electronics workshop deepened, Yu Bo-na emerged as the representative of the sales team 3 in a drinking contest and survived until the end, leaving behind a chilling joke, "I'm going to kill you," before falling asleep. The lively atmosphere lasted only briefly; the mood instantly reversed with scenes of Ki Young-do (played by Mu Jin-seong) placed on an operating table after being struck on the head, and the pension grandpa (played by Jung Sun-cheol) grinning eerily while saying, "We should go hunting."

As sales team members who drank the honey water offered by the pension grandma (played by Park Hye-jin) began to collapse one by one, only the sales team 3 remained unfazed at their seats. It turned out that this workshop was a planned operation by the sales team 3 targeting the hideout of the long-term trading organization. Ki Young-do searched for an electromagnetic wave blocking device, Bong Tae-min (played by Kim Nam-hee) discovered an underground organ extraction site using advanced fly cameras, and Oh Hyun-nam had even prepared drug neutralizers in advance; each performed their respective roles flawlessly, executing a meticulous team play.

When Ki Young-do pulled the circuit breaker, a text message arrived for Kim Bong-pal (played by Sung Dong-il) saying, "Client pre-meeting approved." Bound Kim Bong-pal and Yang Ye-sol (played by Kim Ga-hee) then launched a full-scale counterattack. Kim Bong-pal, a former member of the Army Special Warfare Command, subdued his opponents with overwhelming close-combat skills, while Yang Ye-sol also displayed her prowess honed through various combat sports without holding back. However, the situation changed dramatically once again when the pension grandpa pulled out a gun, leaving both facing an unexpected crisis.

Towards the end of the broadcast, as Yu Bo-na woke up from being drunk and asleep, the situation entered a new phase. Yu Bo-na instantly snatched the gun from the pension grandpa and then easily subdued even the burly criminals with her bare hands, revealing the true face of her fierce prowess. Above her dazzling action, Kwon Tae-sung's tender voice echoed as he reminisced: "A woman nimble like a Puma, brave like a lion, and graceful like a swan. Back then, Yu Bo-na was so beautiful." The husband's contrasting perspective, cherishing his wife's unexpected performance as a beautiful memory, blended with her surprising action, completing a powerful 'Same Bed Different Dreams' ending for the couple.

'Wife Killer' captivated viewers with its fast-paced plot that leaves no room for prediction, shocking twists, and the thrilling team play of sales team 3.

Despite recent controversies over Jung Jun-won's attitude during his appearance on a variety show as the protagonist of 'Wife Killer', the drama is being loved for its thrilling action.

Meanwhile, 'Wife Killer', based on the popular Kakao webtoon of the same title, will air its fourth episode at 4 p.m. on the 8th.
