TVING's original series 'Miscellaneous Diagnosis Day' was a full-fledged drama until the very end.
On the 8th, the entire TVING original series ‘Unlucky Misdiagnosis Day’ Part 2 (Episodes 7-10) was released. After a nightmarish journey, the true identity of Geum Hyuk-soo (played by Yoo Yeon-seok), who left on a smuggling ship, was revealed, causing a shock and a twist. Oh Taek (played by Lee Seong-min) harbored venom towards him and vowed revenge. The battle between the two men on the reset board provided another thrill and suspense.
In 'The Day of Misdiagnosis' Part 2 (Episodes 7-10), Geum Hyuk-su commits cruel evil deeds and then boards a smuggling ship. Oh-taek and Hwang Soon-gyu (played by Lee Jeong-eun), who had a fierce confrontation with him, lost consciousness and were discovered by detective Kim Jung-min (played by Jeong Man-sik) who arrived one step late. After a while, Oh-taek woke up in the hospital and heard from detective Kim Joong-min that Geum Hyuk-soo's whereabouts were unknown. Oh Taek, who also saw the photo, claimed that Geum Hyuk-soo and the man in the taxi that day were not the same person. Kim Jung-min thought that Oh-taek was suffering aftereffects from mental trauma, but Oh-taek, who was a direct victim and the only remaining witness, was confident that his memories were correct.
From that day on, Oh-taek struggled to find the real ‘guy’ who was not Geum Hyuk-su. Oh-taek, who returned from China after being in vain, set out to find his first love, Yoon Se-na (played by Han Dong-hee), whom he had talked about. As soon as Yoon Se-na, who met at the end of the inquiry, heard Oh Taek's explanation, she immediately remembered who he was. Starting with his meeting with Yoon Se-na, Oh-taek began searching for the 'guy' who had disappeared behind the name Geum Hyuk-su.
Above all, Part 2 exceeded expectations, incorporating new characters and expanded stories that were not in the original. If Part 1 was a fierce fight for each person's life, Part 2 was closer to a desperate mission to protect precious people. Like Hwang Soon-gyu, who was willing to pursue a lonely pursuit for his son Nam Yun-ho (played by Lee Kang-ji), Oh-taek's revenge without forgiveness or mercy, who became a harsh and strong father for his daughter Seung-mi, raised the heart rate in itself.
In addition, the unpredictable shock and twist following Part 1's unconventional ending had me hooked right away from the introduction of Part 2. At the center of it all were the passionate performances of actors Lee Sung-min, Yoo Yeon-seok, and Lee Jeong-eun, who caused over-immersion. By completing such an intense murder companion thriller, it opened a new horizon for well-made genre works.
