'Married Woman Killer' Gong Hyo-jin successfully took down Kim Min-sang in a tense chase. Jung Jun-won launched an investigation into the Kingfisher case four years ago.

According to Nielsen Korea, a ratings survey company, on the 30th, the 10th episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Married Woman Killer' (planned by Kwon Seong-chang / scripted 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 29th, recorded a national household viewership rating of 9.9% and a Seoul metropolitan area household rating of 9.7%, maintaining its number-one position in the same time slot across all channels. In particular, the scene where Yu Bo-na (played by Gong Hyo-jin) sings 'Million Roses' at a karaoke room soared to an instantaneous peak viewership rating of 13.3%, leaving a deep impression on living rooms nationwide. Additionally, the channel competitiveness key indicator for the 2054 demographic, reflecting changes in media consumption environments, reached 3.3%, securing first place among all programs aired that day and proving its box office appeal.

In today's episode, Yu Bo-na, Kwon Tae-seong (played by Jung Jun-won), and Lee Dong-jin (played by Lee Sang) encountered each other at the scene of Jang Eun-hak's (played by Kim Min-sang) assassination, as the net surrounding Kingfisher gradually tightened.

In the past, Kwon Tae-seong asked Lee Dong-jin, "What do you think would happen if Kingfisher killed Jang Eun-hak?" Lee Dong-jin vowed that Kingfisher is also a murderer and must be brought to justice. At that moment, Yu Bo-na, who had been sitting in the back row, stood up and taunted Lee Dong-jin with, "Cheer up, future detective." The revelation of the tense past connections among the three added further intrigue.

Subsequently, Yu Bo-na, Kwon Tae-seong, and Lee Dong-jin gathered at the scene of Jang Eun-hak's assassination, creating an intense sense of suspense. Amidst the chase between Jang Eun-hak and Lee Dong-jin, Yu Bo-na fell into confusion upon learning that Kwon Tae-seong had arrived at the scene. Despite Ki Young-do's (played by Moo Jin-sung) attempts to dissuade her, she continued her mission by changing her sniper position while following Jang Eun-hak's movements. At the moment Lee Dong-jin pointed his gun at Jang Eun-hak, Yu Bo-na pulled the trigger first, ending the meeting. Afterward, upon spotting Kwon Tae-seong, Yu Bo-na quickly hid herself.

Lee Dong-jin headed to the rooftop where Kingfisher had carried out the assassination. He cried out to Kwon Tae-seong, "I'm so happy that Jang Eun-hak is dead. And I feel ashamed of myself for feeling this way," evoking sympathy. A tense confrontation unfolded between Kwon Tae-seong, who believed the law was imperfect, and Lee Dong-jin, who insisted that catching criminals within the framework of the law was his duty. The differing perspectives of the two on Jang Eun-hak's death raised further questions about what choices they would make in the future.

Kwon Tae-seong recalled the back view of Kingfisher witnessed at the scene of Jang Eun-hak's assassination. This was a moment when doubts about Kingfisher, previously assumed to be male, intensified. Especially as the world turned upside down due to Kingfisher's unusual alleyway crime, Kwon Tae-seong embarked on tracking the Kingfisher's Haegyeong-dong assassination case from four years ago. He had lost his ability to speak after being shocked by losing his father in front of him, Lee Chang-bok (played by Lee Gyu-seop)'s son, and later learned that he had been sent to an orphanage, making it impossible for him to hide his troubled feelings.

Meanwhile, Yu Bo-na met with the mothers at her daughter Kwon Yul's (played by Hwang Bom-i) kindergarten. Amidst conflicts arising from disputes among the children, Yu Bo-na calmly guided the conversation by prioritizing understanding each other's perspectives rather than assigning blame. Through her own unique approach, Yu Bo-na wisely resolved conflicts with the mothers, adding warmth to the living room drama.

On the other hand, Ki Young-do engaged in a subtle power struggle with Beom Seong-hoon (played by Choi Woo-seong) during his date with Kwon Se-a (played by Lee Eun-saem). Suddenly, masked attackers appeared, and Kwon Se-a swiftly subdued them. It was then revealed that she was actually a former national judo team reserve member, delivering a twist. Furthermore, Beom Seong-hoon's background as a police officer recruited through special selection for his achievement as an Asian Games gold medalist in men's judo was also unveiled. With their shared connection to judo, Kwon Se-a and Beom Seong-hoon worked seamlessly together, while Ki Young-do watched with complex emotions, marking the beginning of a full-blown love triangle and sparking further interest.

Towards the end of the broadcast, a special investigation team dedicated to Kingfisher was formed around Lee Dong-jin. At the same time, Kwon Tae-seong visited the orphanage where Lee Chang-bok's son resided. The scene showed Yu Bo-na smiling while looking at flowers from Ok-i Flower Shop, with stickers bearing the name "Ok-i" placed behind Kwon Tae-seong, creating a sense of tension. As Kwon Tae-seong and Lee Dong-jin gradually approached the truth about Kingfisher's identity, the peaceful image of Yu Bo-na, who remained completely unaware, stood in stark contrast, culminating in a gripping and intense ending that left viewers breathless.
