In the 9th episode of KBS2's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Face Me' (scripted by Hwang Ye-jin, director Cho Rok-hwan), the hidden story of the attack on Lee Jin-seok (Yoon Jung-il) and the death of Cha Jung-woo (Lee Min-ki)'s girlfriend, which occurred seven years ago, began to gradually emerge.
In the broadcast on this day, Jin-seok was lying in the house bleeding, Jung-woo, who was next to him, and Lee Min-hyung (Han Ji-hyun) who discovered the situation were depicted. Jung-woo, who was arrested as a current criminal, confessed to detective Seo Kang-ho (Lee Seung-woo) that he was not the criminal. He said he heard someone rushing out of the scene, doubting whether there were any other suspects and whether they were related to the incident seven years ago. At this time, Jung-woo's friend and lawyer Park Chae-kyung (Kang Da-hyun) pushed the evidence and proved that Jung-woo was not the culprit, so he was able to get out safely.
Min-hyung used a sharp hunch to determine the truth of the Jin-seok attack. While watching CCTV footage of the incident at the time of the incident, he confirmed that team leader Choi (Lee Jae-ha) was coming out of Jin-seok's house. He contrasted the bloodstains found in the field with Choi's DNA and concluded that they were consistent. All this shocked Choi as he was found to have threatened Jin-seok for his promotion and not to be caught in what he had been investigating complacently.
Seven years ago, circumstances related to Jung-woo's girlfriend Yoon Hye-jin (Ha-young) began to emerge one by one. Jung-woo's mother Yoon Seo-hee (Yang So-min), who had Hye-jin's cell phone, confessed all the facts to Jung-woo. There were pictures of Hye-jin affectionately taking with another man on her cell phone, and Seo-hee, who found out, manipulated the traffic accident situation in the hope that she would no longer be involved with Hye-jin.
As a result of checking the CCTV footage of the Nam Hyo-joo (Choi Jung-woon) attack, it was also found that Nam Ki-taek (Park Wan-kyu) was the same person who is believed to be the suspect on the day of his death. In addition, the fact that Jung-woo came out of Hye-jin's house, contrary to the records at the time, and the blood on his watch and Jung-woo's DNA matched, making the summoning investigation inevitable.
Police went to Jungwoo's home and hospital to arrest him, but Jungwoo had already left. Jung-woo was heading to the police station and Min-hyung, who ran into him at the entrance, dragged him and headed somewhere. Min-hyung then smiled at Jung-woo's words about where he was going and raised questions about the next broadcast about where he went to meet the true criminal.
As such, the 9th episode of 'Face Me' piqued viewers' curiosity as circumstances related to Jin-seok's attack and Hye-jin's death seven years ago began to be unveiled.
Meanwhile, the 10th episode of KBS2's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Face Me' will air at 9:50 p.m. on the 5th.
