In "Liar," Yoo Yeon-seok and Seo Hyun-jin delivered a shocking twist.

In the second episode of MBC's new Friday-Saturday drama "Liar" (directed by Cho Young-min / written by Baek Jae-young), which aired on the night of October 31, a full-blown truth battle began between Min Joon-ho (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) and Kang Ji-sun (played by Seo Hyun-jin), who presented diametrically opposed claims regarding the same memory. "Liar," which kept viewers confused about who among the two was lying through its meticulous development over 55 minutes, delivered a huge shock to audiences at home with an unimaginable twist in the final five minutes.

Previously, cardiac surgeon Min Joon-ho and elementary school librarian Kang Ji-sun had developed mutual affection and enjoyed a "perfect first date." However, the next day, Kang Ji-sun reported Min Joon-ho to the police, and their previously peaceful daily lives were thrown into disarray. Kang Ji-sun suffered for a long time due to the shock of "that night," while Min Joon-ho spent the night in a police holding cell.

During the police investigation as well, the two presented diametrically opposed claims. Min Joon-ho stated it was not forced, while Kang Ji-sun claimed it was. The next day, Min Joon-ho was released from the holding cell, and Kang Ji-sun went to work at school. Since there was no evidence beyond the two's sharply conflicting testimonies, the police decided not to prosecute Min Joon-ho. However, the aftermath of the incident continued to shake their daily lives.

Min Joon-ho went to work at the hospital but was pushed aside from surgeries. Kang Ji-sun felt uncomfortable seeing Min Joon-ho's son, Min Hyun-soo (played by Kang Ji-yong), at school. And this aftermath spread to those around them as well. Min Hyun-soo got into a fight with other children at school over his father's arrest, and Kang Ji-sun's older sister, Kang Ji-eun (played by Kim Ji-hyun), could not hide her discomfort at having to face Min Joon-ho at the hospital.

However, a turning point emerged in the incident. Kang Ji-sun suspected drug use after seeing the wine glass that Min Joon-ho had cleaned thoroughly "that night." In this process, it was revealed that Min Joon-ho's wife had committed suicide due to an overdose of medication, heightening viewers' suspicion toward Min Joon-ho. Amidst this, Min Joon-ho and Kang Ji-sun underwent a lie detector test at the suggestion of police officer Lee Hwa-young (played by Ok Ja-yeon).

Min Joon-ho and Kang Ji-sun answered questions one by one while undergoing the lie detector test. Even as the intensity of the questions increased, it remained difficult to guess who among the two was lying. In this situation where tension had risen significantly for a long time, the results of the lie detector test were revealed. The result was shocking. Lee Hwa-young told Kang Ji-sun, "The one who lied between Mr. Min Joon-ho and Ms. Kang Ji-sun is you."

Furthermore, it was revealed that Kang Ji-sun had been involved in a similar incident in the past. This became an opportunity to heighten viewers' suspicion toward Kang Ji-sun. The weight of the "liar" shifted from Min Joon-ho to Kang Ji-sun. In addition, by showing the duality of the two characters—Min Joon-ho, who is affectionate yet cold, and Kang Ji-sun, who is warm yet sensitive—in a detailed manner at appropriate moments, it intensified viewers' confusion. There were reactions praising Director Cho Young-min's delicate directing skills.

"Liar" airs every Friday and Saturday night at 9:50 p.m.
