Amid the truth dispute over date sexual assault in "Liar," viewership ratings declined slightly.

According to Nielsen Korea, the third episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Liar" (screenplay by Baek Jae-young, directed by Jo Young-min), which aired on the 6th, recorded a viewership rating of 1.1% (nationwide). This is a decrease of 0.8 percentage points from the 1.9% recorded in the second episode on the 31st of last month.

In the third episode aired that day, the truth dispute between Min Jun-ho (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) and Kang Ji-sun (played by Seo Hyun-jin), who presented diametrically opposing claims about "that night," intensified.

The polygraph test revealed that Kang Ji-sun was the one lying among Min Jun-ho and Kang Ji-sun. Min Jun-ho accepted the result as if it were a matter of course, but Kang Ji-sun could not accept it. Although the claims of Min Jun-ho and Kang Ji-sun did not change after the polygraph test results were released, the way people viewed the two shifted 180 degrees. In particular, as rumors spread at Min Jun-ho's hospital, Min Jun-ho became the "victim," while Kang Ji-sun was labeled a "viper."

Min Jun-ho appeared to be returning to his daily routine, but Kang Ji-sun was different. Troubled by the persistent rumor that "Min Jun-ho's wife died from an overdose of medication," Kang Ji-sun made a reckless decision. She decided to enter Min Jun-ho's home directly to find evidence. Ultimately, hiding her identity as much as possible, Kang Ji-sun sneaked into Min Jun-ho's home using the words he had spoken during their "perfect first date" as clues. And she discovered an unidentified box of medication under Min Jun-ho's bed.

At the same time, Min Jun-ho returned home from work. Kang Ji-sun, who narrowly escaped Min Jun-ho's home, reported Min Jun-ho to the police. As a result, Min Jun-ho was taken into police custody again in front of his son, Min Hyun-soo (played by Kang Ji-yong). The investigation revealed that the medication in question was insulin previously used by Min Jun-ho's wife. Cleared of suspicion, Min Jun-ho decided to change his attitude, which had involved no response toward Kang Ji-sun until now, and resolved to turn the incident into a news article.

As the article was published, the precarious daily life that Kang Ji-sun had been maintaining collapsed. Rumors spread through the school in an instant. In particular, when Min Jun-ho's son, Min Hyun-soo, asked Kang Ji-sun, "Was that woman your teacher?", Kang Ji-sun could no longer hold back and ran out of the classroom while backing away. Kang Ji-sun expressed her victimization through active actions, such as reporting to the police. On the other hand, Min Jun-ho began to act on the grievance he had only expressed in words until now. Along with Min Jun-ho's change, the truth dispute between the two intensified further.

Subsequently, Police Officer Lee Hwa-young (played by Ok Ja-yeon) informed Min Jun-ho of the investigation results, stating that a "decision not to refer for prosecution due to insufficient evidence" had been made. However, Min Jun-ho's attitude changed upon hearing this. Min Jun-ho, who had been hostile toward Lee Hwa-young until then, suddenly suggested to her, "If you don't mind, would you like to have a drink?" He also approached her again without giving up after she refused once.
