Kim Tae-ri's 'Ghost' Conversion that overturns the prediction of identity 'up to 12.5%'
The 9th episode of 'Ghost', which aired on the 21st (Nielsen Korea), recorded 11.1% of households in the metropolitan area and 10.3% of households nationwide. The viewership rating rose to 12.5% at the moment, and held the top spot in the same time zone and Friday drama. The 2049 audience rating, which is a key indicator of channel competitiveness and topicality, was 4.1%, maintaining the first place in the same time zone and Friday drama.
Detective Hong Sae (played by Hong Kyung) of the Violent Crime Investigation Unit opened the door that should not have been opened, and the victim this time was his partner, Moon Chun (played by Kim Won Hae). He couldn't move as if someone had grabbed him, and he had red bruises on his wrists. Then, leaving the words "Professor Yeom was right", he jumped out of the window holding the documents he was examining. Hongsae froze on the spot in a situation where even the report that happened in an instant was unbelievable. As a result of CCTV analysis, Munchun jumped alone. Sanyeong, which Hongsae had clearly seen, was also not found. The case was closed when Munchun, who had been clinging to the case without a family after his wife died 20 years ago, committed suicide in a sense of dejection as retirement was approaching.
After Munchun's death, Hae-hae (played by Oh Jeong-se) and Hong-sae joined forces to track down the demon. After her mother's death, Hae-hae, who had a relationship with warm-hearted detective Munchun, who comforted the young Hae-hae, who said, "No one listens to me," was overcome with agony as if he had died instead of her. Hong-sae, who did not believe in ghosts, also awakened to the guilt of not being able to prevent Munchun's death, saying, "I will catch that ghost even if it dies." According to the information the two had, Lee Mok-dan, who died in 1958, became a demon, and since then, 17 people have died. The strange thing is that the demon has no reason to kill Munchun. In the last phone call with Munchun, Hae-hae deduced that Munchun must have been killed because there was a weakness that the demon wanted to hide in the edict of Lee Mok-dan he mentioned.
Like Munchun, Hae-hae went to the library where the librarian, the only victim who died without any connection to Kang-mo, worked. The colleague, who was in charge of the preservation library for storing old books, did not know anything about Gangmo, but remembered a strange anecdote at the time. The librarian tore a book from the library, and he cried, saying he did not know why, and died shortly after the incident. It was Shin Seung-joo's 'Understanding Art' book. Hae-hae found Shin Seung-joo, a teacher at Jangjin Middle School, who jumped from the roof in the case file. And the librarian also intuitively sensed that he had been sacrificed by the demon because he had a weakness in his 'understanding of art' that the demon wanted to hide.
While chasing after San-yeong (played by Kim Tae-ri), Hong-sae encountered a demon attached to her. Just like Sanyoung, who we saw at the high school alumni wedding after party, he showed a different way of speaking and strange behavior than usual. Hong-sae profiled what he witnessed as the chief ace of the police force. As a result, the demons were curious, adventurous, and had severe emotional ups and downs with symptoms of lack of affection. It seems to be a typical child trait, but there was something different. Seeing that a demon who saw a child swarming around him said, “I hate children. Taken together, the demon looked like an adolescent girl, not an adult. However, Lee Mok-dan was 10 years old when he died.
After San-yeong found the black rubber band, there were more times she could not remember. Finally, when he heard the voice of the demon saying that he would die if he told the sea what he had seen, he decided to chase the demon alone. The clue left by the demon this time was a charcoal painting of a full moon drawn by Sanyeong without his knowledge, and the managerial ledger of the head of Jangjin-ri, which Kangmo (played by Jin Seon-gyu) kept in Hwawonjae. In the ledger, the goods and money that the villagers of Jangjin-ri received for Lee Mok-dan's life were recorded, as well as the date.
Sanyeong looked for the phase change of the moon in 1958, the year Mokdan Lee died. June 7th, the day Mokdan was kidnapped, was the waning moon, 24th, the day the body was returned, the waning moon, and there was no day with a full moon in between. In other words, Mokdan Lee could not see the full moon. At that time, while looking through the graduation album of Jangjin Middle School, which was difficult to find, Hae-hae found a drawing of the moon drawn with charcoal in the special activity section. It was the very picture drawn by the demon through Sanyoung.
Sanyeong and Hae-hae finally found out why Kang-mo and Ha-hae's mother couldn't get rid of the demon. He had misunderstood the demon's name. Facing the shadow of the demon with loose hair, Sanyeong asked in a low voice, “Aren’t you a Mokdan?”
