'Chaebol X Detective 2': Ahn Bo-hyun and Jung Eun-chae perfectly coordinate to eliminate the legendary professional killer Lee Hak-joo.

In the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Chaebol X Detective 2' (produced by Studio S, Big Ocean ENM, B&E Entertainment), which aired on the 15th, Jin Yi-su (played by Ahn Bo-hyun) and Ju Hye-ra (played by Jung Eun-chae) track down the mastermind behind a series of murders, capturing Tae-gwang Yoo (played by Lee Hak-joo), who dreamed of committing perfect crimes. This episode delivered thrilling satisfaction. Meanwhile, 'Chaebol X Detective 2' Episode 4 achieved a peak viewership rating of 7.4%, an average of 6.2% in the Seoul metropolitan area, and a peak rating of 2.7% among viewers aged 20-49.

While the Gangha Seo Strong Investigation Team, including Jin Yi-su and Ju Hye-ra, gradually narrowed their investigative net, they uncovered that Nam Jae-guk (played by Kwon Seung-woo), the husband of victim Kim Min-seo (played by Hwang Jeong-yoon), had hired a killer to cover up his affair and claim 1 billion won in life insurance money.

The Strong Investigation Team discovered that Myeong Seok-ho (played by Park Jung-pyo), a fraudster with prior convictions who runs a private investigation agency called 'Mingtamjeong Office', was the person connecting Nam Jae-guk and the perpetrators. The team then executed an ingenious undercover operation. Jin Yi-su, dressed as a gangster using high-end sedans, suits, and watches, visited Myeok Seok-ho alongside Park Jun-young (played by Kang Sang-joon), who posed as a subordinate to Gang Chief Park Chan-geon (played by Lee Do-yeop) of the Criminal Investigation Division. While the trio's perfect 'gangster method acting' while pretending to hire a hitman drew laughter, Jin Yi-su and Park Jun-young successfully installed hidden cameras and wiretaps in the office.

Through the wiretap, it was revealed that Yoo Tae-gwang (played by Lee Hak-joo), the mastermind orchestrating the entire scheme, had noticed police discovering a corpse in an abandoned house and ordered accomplices Jang Jae-chun (played by Jeon Seung-hoon) and Jo Beom-gi (played by Kim Gyu-baek) to destroy all evidence. However, the Strong Investigation Team found a vehicle and another body in a reservoir and identified Jang Jae-chun through a faint fingerprint left behind. The investigation gained momentum after it was revealed that Myeong Seok-ho had been in the same prison as Jang Jae-chun.

Clues emerged suggesting the perpetrators were hiding at Jang Jae-chun's grandmother's house in Daegu and attempting to flee abroad. Jin Yi-su immediately called Choi (Chairman) (played by Kim Myeong-su), saying, "I'll use that helicopter. I need to catch those serial killer assassins," and suddenly summoned a private helicopter, heading straight for Daegu. This moment once again showcased the sheer satisfaction of Jin Yi-su's unique 'wealth cheat code'.

Upon arriving at the scene, the Gangha Seo Strong Investigation Team 1 discovered the bodies of Jang Jae-chun and Jo Beom-gi. However, Ju Hye-ra, with her sharp observational skills, noticed three types of cigarette butts left at the scene and deduced that another accomplice was still hiding inside the house. Finally, Jin Yi-su confronted Yoo Tae-gwang on the rooftop and engaged in a breathless hand-to-hand battle. After an intense fight, she sustained a cut on her hand from a knife but fired her pistol without hesitation at the fleeing Yoo Tae-gwang. Seeing Jin Yi-su hit Yoo Tae-gwang's leg precisely, Ju Hye-ra subtly boasted, "Good shot! I taught you well," while Jin Yi-su cheekily replied, "At this point, I'm John Wick," displaying perfect chemistry.

Yoo Tae-gwang, who had dreamed of a perfect crime until the end, crumbled before the relentless investigation by Gangha Seo Strong Investigation Team 1. Ju Hye-ra revealed that DNA from a robbery-murder case ten years ago matched Yoo Tae-gwang's profile and drove the final nail in the coffin: "You thought you could play with us? Perfect crime? There is no such thing." Ultimately, it was confirmed that Yoo Tae-gwang was the true culprit who committed the robbery-murder ten years ago and killed his accomplices, bringing the case to a perfect conclusion.

At the end of the broadcast, Gangha Seo presented brave citizen awards and scholarships to whistleblower Park A-in (played by Park So-i), while Jin Yi-su gifted her specially made golden handcuffs, creating a heartwarming moment. However, a shocking scene soon followed: a mysterious female corpse was discovered in a hotel room, hinting at the start of a new case and raising suspense to its peak.

Meanwhile, Episode 4's cookie video featured Yoo Seong-won (played by Yoo Seung-ho). Having just returned home and taken the wheel, he muttered, "There are too many CCTV cameras in Korea," with a strange smile. The chilling atmosphere lingering behind his laughter further fueled curiosity about his true identity.
