In the second episode of the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'I Shopping' (played by Ahn So-jung, directed by Oh Ji-hwan), the leader of the refunded children confronted a secret organization that tried to remove them. The ratings of the second episode surpassed 2.0% in the nation and the metropolitan area, and the highest ratings per minute were 2.6% in the metropolitan area and 2.5% in the country (based on Nielsen Korea paid households), breaking its own highest ratings and starting to rise in the second episode.
On behalf of Woo Tae-sik (Choi Young-joon), whose life and death are unclear, Ah-hyun planned to evacuate to a safe space, comforting the children who were shaken by the news of the accident. In the keepsakes left by Taesik, Ah-hyun, who faced the huge reality of an illegal adoption organization, was shocked when she confirmed the bare faces of the parents who abandoned them for the absurd reason of 'Quality Complaints'.
However, for a while, the pursuit of Chung Hyeon (Jinyoung Kim) and other members began to remove the children. After narrowly avoiding Chung's pursuit, Ah-hyun and the children decided to continue their revenge that Taesik had not achieved, and began a plan to get their hands on the 'VIP Card', which goes to the core of the organization to reveal the identity of the secret organization's head.
The children's first target was Han Chul-soo (Im Jae-myung), the father of Somi (Lee Na-eun). Han Cheol-soo is a prestigious elementary school principal on the outside, but behind him is a person who hides the ugly truth. Juan (Ahn Ji-ho) approached Han Cheol-soo by even dressing up as a woman, and as a result, the real reason for Somi's refund was revealed, causing anger. Somi was confused when she learned not only that the reason for her refund was Han Chul-soo's one-sided choice, not because of a conflict with her mother, but also that her mother, who had been searching for her suddenly disappeared, was hospitalized.
In the end, the children obtained VIP membership and related information from Han Cheol-soo. However, Somi, who was angry at Han Chul-soo's atrocities, eventually lost her temper and reached a dangerous choice, and the gunfire that rang out at the end of the broadcast added tension to the play.
The secret organization and Kim Se-hee (Yum Jung-ah) continued to take bolder steps and increased the immersion of the play. Sehee's shocking 'Big Picture' was also revealed, with the belief that she would make a perfect child of her own. It was revealed that her daughter's name was also 'Kim Ah-hyun'. This acts as a double track suggesting the connection with Kim Ah-hyun (Won Jin-ah), raising expectations for the next episode.
From the first week of the broadcast to the first week of the broadcast, the unprecedented setting, storm development, and heavy social messages have captured viewers. Beyond just stimulating material, 'I Shopping', which deeply depicts the tragedy of children denied existence due to adults who only want 'perfect child', proved its existence as a 'high-quality action thriller' with high-density action, solid production, and actors' immersive passion. I can't wait to see what kind of story will unfold next week.
Meanwhile, the ENA Monday-Tuesday drama 'I Shopping' will air 3rd episode at 10 p.m. on the 28th and will be released on TVING as OTT exclusive.
