JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Hip-Hope', which aired on the 1st, ended. The ending of 'Woodangtang', where Bong Ye-bun (played by Han Ji-min) and Moon Sang-yeol (played by Lee Min-ki) caught serial killer Park Jong-bae (played by Park Hyuk-kwon) and started an unusual love affair, provided big laughs until the end. The warm message that even if you don't have superpowers, your heart will connect if you have sincerity to convey was also touching.
'Psychomic (Psychometry ' received love from viewers. The character play that exquisitely crosses comedy and thriller, and the story that does not lose warmth even in the midst of laughter, shined even brighter with the passionate performances of actors who believed in and watched it.
Viewers responded enthusiastically to the happy ending that found peace in Mujin. The final episode viewership rating was 9.3% nationwide and 9.2% in the metropolitan area (Nielsen Korea, based on paid households), ranking first overall on Sunday. The target audience rating for 2049 in the metropolitan area was 3.8%.
On this day, Bong Ye-bun and Mun Jang-yeol made a deal with Park Jong-bae. They took him out of the police station to find the kidnapped Bae Ok-hee (played by Joo Min-kyung). But Park Jong-bae was despicable until the end. Contrary to his promise to tell us where Bae Ok-hee was kidnapped, he dragged in Baek Sa-jang (played by Kim Byeong-hee) and his subordinates. Earlier, through psychometry, I found out about the bad relationship between Moon Jae-yeol and Baeksajang. Munjang-yeol, who was attacked by Baeksajang's gang, looked at Bongye-bun even though he was bleeding. Bong Ye-bun also wiped away Moon Jae-yeol's blood and was worried about him as he collapsed.
It was no longer the ‘Ye-yeol (Ye-bun Bong Ye-bun watched a video of a police academy class that showed how to cut cable ties using psychometric sentence strings. If I pretended, I was pretending. Bong Ye-bun cut the tie, and Mun Jang-yeol immediately overpowered Baeksajang's subordinates. Park Jong-bae kidnapped Bae Ok-hee with his eyes closed to avoid psychometry. Kim Yong-myeong's (played by Kim Yong-myeong) insight that sometimes sounds can be seen clearly worked. Bong Ye-bun focused on the sound, found the kidnapping location, and rescued his best friend, Bae Ok-hee.
Now all that remains is to punish Park Jong-bae. While trying to smuggle out, he even pulled a knife at Bong Ye-bun. As always, the 'Bongye Bun Weapon' sentence line came out. He said, “Take a good look at Bongye-bun. Do you know my superpower? Yeah that. I'm going to write that. Are you the only one with superpowers? “I have it too,” he said, looking intently at Park Jong-bae. Bong Ye-bun and Mun Jang-yeol’s undivided attention shone again this time. Two people who knew each other's true feelings even without superpowers. While Park Jong-bae was anxious and looked away, Bong Ye-bun hit his solar plexus with his elbow. Then, Moon Jae-yeol overpowered him with a piggy back, demonstrating fantastic cooperation.
Mujin, which had regained peace, was full of love. Won Jong-mook (played by Kim Hee-won) and Jeong Hyeon-ok (played by Park Seong-yeon), who were first loves, decided to wait 30 years to get married, and Bae Ok-hee and Kim Yong-myeong made Bong Ye-bun laugh by disturbing his ears with their 'chicken love affair'. And Ace Detective Moon Sang-yeol returned to Gwangsoo University. On the day of returning to Seoul, Mun Jang-yeol missed the bus because he was waiting for Bong Ye-bun. Bong Ye-bun came running crying after breaking up with Moon Mun-yeol. The sentence that came down to Mujin and had a hard time understanding the feelings of the village people was no longer there. Moon Jae-yeol, now a Mujin person, began his ‘Mujin-style’ build-up confession about what he was going to do in the future. Bong Ye-bun answered that it would be nice to work hard at the hospital and make a lot of money to open a second branch of Bong Animal Hospital. The sentence string is “Me?” “Me?” he said, looking at Bong Ye-bun affectionately. He then confessed, “After you work hard at the hospital, make a lot of money, and open the second branch of Bong Hospital, maybe you can make a plan to come see me then,” making him smile.
And eight months passed. Bong Ye-bun made a plan to come see him as Mun Jang-yeol said. Bong Ye-bun, who finally appeared on the broadcast hosted by Jang Do-yeon (played by Jang Do-yeon), said, “I also have a plan. “Actually,” he said, trying to convey his fondness. However, as I kept getting calls about the investigation from Mungyeol Moon, I couldn't say anything. Bong Ye-bun offered to help with the investigation. A sentence that says it seems like they are using Bong Ye Bun and they don’t want to put him in danger. Bong Ye-bun said, “How about using it? “Between us,” he subtly expressed his feelings. Bong Ye-bun's response of "Huh?" followed by a slight smile as he pretended not to hear, "I'm doing it because I want to do it well" was the moment that announced the birth of the 'Ye-yeol couple' from the 'Ye-yeol combination'.
The extraordinary cooperation between Bong Ye-bun and Mun Jang-yeol continued. Bong Ye-bun, who was lured again by Moon Mun-yeol's words that all he had to do was wear a uniform, wore a prison uniform and infiltrated the prison. The goal is to psychometricize drug lord Lee Jeong-eun (played by Lee Jeong-eun) and find the drug leader. At the moment of crisis, Mun Jang-yeol, who was guarding Bongye Bun as always, said, “I don’t want you to get hurt,” and asked me out on a date. If you were on a normal date, you weren't a 'warm-up couple'. The noisy ending of a 'warm-up couple', with Lee Jeong-eun holding hands and running away from the inmates' threats, filled the audience with laughter and excitement until the very end.
