In the JTBC drama "Apartment," Ji Sung and Park Byung-eun face off with fierce glares in the hallway of a funeral home, unfolding a tense "funeral home noir."

The 10th episode of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama "Apartment" (script by Kim Yoon-young, directed by Cho Yong-won, produced by SLL and Red Nine Pictures Co., Ltd.), which aired on the 9th, recorded a peak viewership of 6.7% in the Seoul metropolitan area (based on Nielsen Korea), an average of 6.1% nationwide, and 5.7% in the capital region, once again setting its own record high and securing the number one spot in viewership across all channels during the same time slot, including terrestrial broadcasters, proving its soaring popularity. Spectacular plot developments, unexpected narrative twists beyond expectations, and the premium performances of trusted actors combine to create a synergy that heightens anticipation for the finale.

In the previous 10th episode, Park Hae-gang (Ji Sung) heard a brutal confession from Lee Chung-won (Park Byung-eun) that he had killed Park Yong-man (Jung Jin-young), whom he had revered like a father, followed by an ending scene of "blood-tear roar" where he clenched his fists and cried out desperately, raising interest in the final showdown between the two characters as they approach the conclusion.

In the upcoming 11th episode airing on Saturday the 15th, Park Hae-gang and Lee Chung-won will face each other sharply head-on in the funeral home hallway, drawing intense attention. In the drama, after Park Hae-gang provocatively reveals the truth about Park Yong-man's death, he urgently chases after Lee Chung-won as he calmly exits the wake. Pushing aside Kim Sil-jang (Noh Jung-hyun), who blocks his path, Park Hae-gang unleashes a furious gaze burning with anger toward Lee Chung-won, but Lee responds with cold mockery, further provoking Park's indignation.

As the two continue to face each other with unwavering sharp glares, attention focuses on how this explosive confrontation in the funeral home hallway will shake up the drama's direction. With only two episodes remaining until the finale, all eyes are on their inevitable head-on clash.

Ahead of a highlight scene with intense emotional swings, Ji Sung and Park Byung-eun continued meticulous rehearsals, pouring out extraordinary passion. Alongside their signature shots, they instantly established dramatic opposition, delivering explosive performances that filled the set with breathless tension in an instant. Their fierce acting chemistry, even filling every fleeting moment with density, froze the very air on set in a single breath.
