In 'Liar,' Yoo Yeon-seok's character resorted to using even his own son to conceal his heinous acts.

According to Nielsen Korea, the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Liar' (Planner: Lee Dae-yong / Director: Jo Young-min / Screenwriter: Baek Jae-young / Production: Film Company Jip, Kakao Entertainment), which aired on the 14th, recorded a peak viewership rating of 4.5% for its sixth episode.

On this day, Kang Ji-sun (played by Seo Hyun-jin) launched her full-scale counterattack against Min Jun-ho (played by Yoo Yeon-seok). By Kang Ji-sun's side was Lee Hwa-young (played by Ok Ja-yeon), another victim. The episode depicted the alliance between Kang Ji-sun and Lee Hwa-young against Min Jun-ho, as well as the appearance of Lee Hwa-young's husband, Park Seok-gu (played by Im Sung-jae).

Previously, Kang Ji-sun had lured Min Jun-ho under the pretense that he was heavily intoxicated and knocked him unconscious. When Min Jun-ho regained consciousness, he found himself bound tightly all over his body. Kang Ji-sun told Min Jun-ho, "You can only understand how a victim feels by experiencing it yourself," foreshadowing that she would return to him exactly what he had done to her. In the process, Kang Ji-sun also learned the shocking fact that Min Jun-ho had driven his former wife to death in the past. However, Min Jun-ho continued to provoke Kang Ji-sun and managed to break free from the ropes he had tied himself with.

In an instant, the dynamic between the two reversed. As Min Jun-ho pursued and Kang Ji-sun fled, police officer Lee Hwa-young arrived at the scene. However, Lee Hwa-young could not arrest Min Jun-ho. This was because if she arrested him immediately, the drugs remaining in Min Jun-ho's body could potentially make Kang Ji-sun appear as the perpetrator. Ultimately, Lee Hwa-young shouted, "I will definitely find evidence that you sexually assaulted me," and Min Jun-ho left the scene. Kang Ji-sun was stunned by Lee Hwa-young's outburst.

Min Jun-ho sensed that he would soon come under investigation. Consequently, he instilled a sense of anxiety in his son, Min Hyun-soo (played by Kang Ji-yong), saying, "It looks like Dad is going to be questioned by the police again." Min Hyun-soo declared, "I will make sure those people don't take you away," offering to provide false testimony. Min Jun-ho said, "I can't make you lie too," and embraced Min Hyun-soo while shedding tears. To viewers who knew the truth about Min Jun-ho, this was a brazen and chilling display of crocodile tears. In the end, Min Hyun-soo provided false testimony for his father, allowing Min Jun-ho to escape the investigation once again.

Meanwhile, Lee Hwa-young's daily life was thrown into disarray due to Min Jun-ho's malicious actions. After much deliberation, Lee Hwa-young finally informed her senior, Jang Doo-il (played by Jeong Seung-gil), about the victimization she suffered. However, higher-ups ordered that the investigation into the case be shelved for a while. Additionally, Lee Hwa-young was overwhelmed with pain every time she saw the face of her husband, Park Seok-gu, who knew nothing about what had happened. On the other hand, Park Seok-gu was deeply troubled by his wife, Lee Hwa-young, who would not say a word about what the problem was or why she was struggling.

During this time, Park Seok-gu overheard a conversation between Kang Ji-sun and Lee Hwa-young, eventually learning the truth about the harm his wife had endured. It was a shocking situation, unimaginable how difficult it must have been for his wife to bear it alone. A mysterious male patient appeared before Min Jun-ho, the composed doctor. He was none other than Park Seok-gu, Lee Hwa-young's husband and a UDT officer. With the victim's family joining the victim in becoming entangled in the Min Jun-ho case, the powerful ending hinted at an even more turbulent development to come.

Episode 6 of 'Liar' also kept viewers on the edge of their seats for the full 60 minutes thanks to the actors' intense performances. Yoo Yeon-seok induced chills in viewers by modulating his emotional expressions according to the situation, including displaying crocodile tears. Seo Hyun-jin delivered a dedicated performance that spared neither her body nor her mind. From the pain of police officer and victim Lee Hwa-young portrayed by Ok Ja-yeon, to Im Sung-jae's strong presence, and even the heartwarming acting of child actor Kang Ji-yong, it was once again proven that there are no weak links in the acting of 'Liar.'

Meanwhile, a marathon broadcast of episodes 1 through 6 of 'Liar' will air at 11:30 a.m. on the 15th. It is expected to provide an opportunity to concisely experience the story from episode 1 to episode 6 of 'Liar.'
