In "Liar," Yoo Yeon-seok's shocking mask was stripped away.

The ending of Episode 4 of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama "Liar" (directed by Cho Young-min / written by Baek Jae-young), which aired on the night of the 7th, plunged viewers into shock. Amidst a tense game of truth where Min Jun-ho (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) and Kang Ji-sun (played by Seo Hyun-jin) present diametrically opposed claims, the mask of Min Jun-ho, who is trusted by everyone, was removed. Viewers could not help but be appalled by Min Jun-ho's chilling true face.

Until now, Min Jun-ho had consistently protested his innocence regarding the incident with Kang Ji-sun on "that night," claiming there was no coercion. However, Min Jun-ho secretly infiltrated the home of Police Officer Lee Hwa-young (played by Ok Ja-yeon), who still seemed to suspect him and was sleeping alone. Min Jun-ho took a photo of the sleeping Lee Hwa-young while wearing gloves to avoid leaving evidence. His extremely natural demeanor showed how accustomed he is to such behavior, sending chills down viewers' spines.

In this context, the production team of "Liar" has drawn attention by releasing images from immediately after the shocking ending of Episode 4, which delivered an unimaginable shock on the 11th.

In the first photo, an intruder stands beside the sleeping Lee Hwa-young. Even though his face is not visible in the photo, the tension rises simply from him fidgeting with his gloved hands. In the next still, Min Jun-ho's cold gaze as he stares at Lee Hwa-young, along with his bare hands after removing the gloves he was wearing, heighten the sense of crisis. Eventually, Min Jun-ho's hand caressing Lee Hwa-young's face is captured, escalating the unease. The ominous expression on Lee Hwa-young's face as she wakes up also adds to the curiosity.

Above all, Yoo Yeon-seok's acting skills and expressiveness, which perfectly capture Min Jun-ho's two faces, evoke admiration. The image of him as a good father, a capable cardiac surgeon, and a devoted man that he had shown earlier is nowhere to be found; only the appearance of an intruder who gives one goosebumps just by passing by is visible. Simultaneously, anticipation grows for how Yoo Yeon-seok will portray Min Jun-ho's two faces, which range from extreme opposites, going forward.

Regarding this, the production team of "Liar" stated, "The ending of Episode 4, where Min Jun-ho's mask was stripped away, is like the first turning point of our drama. Important scenes were completed through Yoo Yeon-seok's intense deliberation and effort." They added, "Starting from the ending of Episode 4, a more powerful story will unfold with unpredictable developments. The acting of the cast, including Yoo Yeon-seok, Seo Hyun-jin, and Ok Ja-yeon, will become even more formidable. We ask for your continued interest and anticipation."

Is Min Jun-ho, rather than Kang Ji-sun, the real "liar"? Episode 5 of "Liar," which leaves numerous questions and increases interest with each episode, airs at 9:50 p.m. on the 13th.
