'Chaebol X Detective 2' stars Ahn Bo-hyun and Jung Eun-chae captivated audiences with sharp deductive skills that kept delivering twists upon twists.

'Chaebol X Detective 2' (script by Kim Ba-da, directed by Kim Jae-hong), the sixth episode of which aired on SBS's Saturday-Sunday drama slot in the afternoon of the 22nd, revealed the full story behind a tragic incident born from hidden truths in the Rosebird Hotel murder case and misplaced maternal love, delivering intense immersion. Alongside this, the sixth episode of 'Chaebol X Detective 2' recorded peak viewership of 9.4%, 7.8% in the Seoul metropolitan area, and 7.5% nationwide, breaking its own record and accelerating its unstoppable box office momentum. Notably, viewership among the 2049 demographic soared to a peak of 2.6%, proving explosive buzz.

'The broadcast opened with a scene where Jin Yi-soo (played by Ahn Bo-hyun) and Joo Hye-ra (played by Jung Eun-chae) discovered bloodstains in room 701, where Kang Chun-sik (played by Lee Seok) had been staying as a long-term guest, leading to his emergency arrest after a car chase. However, the investigation returned to square one when it was confirmed that Kang Chun-sik had a solid alibi placing him at the hotel bar at the time of the crime.

'Subsequent cell phone forensics revealed that victim Oh Min-young (played by Ha Seo-yoon) had contacted hotel representative Yeom Jae-seop (played by Choi Deok-mun) to meet in room 709 and that he had received a transfer of 200 million won. When Yeom Jae-seop attempted a surprise departure for Hanoi, Vietnam, Joo Hye-ra, who had insisted on strict procedural investigation, turned to Jin Yi-soo and asked, "You have your private jet, right? Can you catch up?" thereby offering the chaebol detective's cheat code opportunity, which soon made her appear as if she were fully immersed in the role of 'Jin,' eliciting cheerful laughter. In response, Jin Yi-soo flew her personal jet to arrive first at Hanoi Airport and shouted through a loudspeaker, "Mr. Yeom Jae-seop, please transfer on this flight. I am Jin Yi-soo!" before executing a seamless transfer arrest operation that delivered sheer satisfaction.

'Yeom Jae-seop admitted to his secret affair with Oh Min-young but strongly denied the murder. A check of his phone revealed that the identity of 'Leo,' whom Yeom had spoken to on the day of the crime, was Jeon Yu-jin (played by Park Tae-rin), a front desk employee. Jin Yi-soo deduced that his lover was male, delivering an unexpected twist that shocked everyone. Tired of Oh Min-young's persistent blackmail after learning about their relationship, Yeom Jae-seop informed Jeon Yu-jin of the breakup. Enraged, Jeon Yu-jin grabbed a master key and a walkie-talkie, summoned Oh Min-young to room 701, and accidentally committed the crime.

'However, Jeon Yu-jin only had eight minutes to commit the crime. Joo Hye-ra focused on the impossibility of one person moving the body and cleaning the scene within just eight minutes, deducing that there must be an accomplice among the hotel roommaids. Following a relentless search, the Major Crimes Unit 1 team discovered that roommaid Na Yeon-hong (played by Kim Sun-hwa) was Jeon Yu-jin's mother. The mother had covered up the scene after noticing her son's crime.

'Despite Jin Yi-soo's earnest persuasion upon rushing to the hotel, Na Yeon-hong falsely confessed that she had killed Oh Min-young, and Major Crimes Unit 1 team forcibly took Jeon Yu-jin away in front of everyone. Finally, seeing her mother being arrested, the real culprit Jeon Yu-jin surrendered, holding out a blood-stained coat and weapon. Jin Yi-soo and Joo Hye-ra flawlessly solved the love-triangle murder case filled with twists, demonstrating their increasingly solid teamwork.

'Meanwhile, the episode ended with Joo Hye-ra exchanging chilling glances with world-renowned sculptor Yoo Sung-won (played by Yoo Seung-ho) at his homecoming exhibition, creating palpable tension. In the following cookie video, the true reason for Joo Hye-ra's return to Gangha-seo was revealed. She told Detective Chief Park Chan-geon (played by Lee Do-yeop), "I will kill Yoo Sung-won again. I will stop him," expressing her firm belief that he is a murderer, raising curiosity about Yoo Sung-won's true identity and future developments.

'Chaebol X Detective 2' is a witty, refreshing, and satisfying police procedural comedy where chaebol detective Jin Yi-soo overturns cases with wealth whenever investigations stall, working alongside new team leader Joo Hye-ra in a money-driven partnership. The series consists of 14 episodes and airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m.
