Jang Dong-yoon predicts revenge on Chu Young-woo, up to 8.2%

Jang Dong-yoon, who was thought to be dead after suffering a gunshot wound and throwing himself into the sea, was alive.

In KBS2's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Oasis', which aired on the 10th, the story of Oh Jung-shin (played by Seol In-ah) and Choi Cheol-woong (played by Chu Young-woo) was depicted three years after Lee Du-hak (played by Jang Dong-yoon) went missing.

Previously, Cheolwoong's mean behavior, which drove Doohak, who was about to marry Spirit, into a corner, was depicted, arousing anger. Cheolwoong even used loyalty to separate the two haks and their minds. Spirit, unaware of Cheolwoong's intentions, begged Cheolwoong to save Doohak, and Cheolwoong pretended to help Doohak escape.

Doohak realized that Cheolwoong was behind this incident and was overcome with a sense of betrayal. Doo-hak throws himself into the sea after being shot by Oh Man-ok (played by Jin Yi-han), and spirit runs toward him. The tragic story of two lovers attracted attention.

Three years have passed while Duhak's fate is unknown. At the event celebrating Cheol-woong's birthday, Cheol-woong, Kang Yeo-jin (played by Kang Kyeong-heon), and Loyalty developed into quite a family-like atmosphere, attracting attention. Jung-shin also belatedly joined Cheol-woong’s birthday party. Although it is not revealed on the outside, Yeo-jin's meaningful eyes, which regard the spirit as a thorn in his eye, added to the ominous feeling.

Jung-shin had a conflict with Cha Geum-ok (played by Kang Ji-eun) over the stake in the film company and left Geum-ok's side. Yeo-jin used the tax investigation as an excuse to pressure Geum-ok to expel Jeong-jin from the film company. Geum-ok sarcastically threatened the two-faced Yeo-jin, saying, “Don’t mess with me and my daughter anymore.”

Cheol-woong, who had no way of knowing what Yeo-jin had done, heard from Jeong-jeong about Jeong-min's sad situation. He stayed by Spirit's side, preparing a place to comfort her. While Jeong-sin was grateful to Cheol-woong, he was confused after hearing from the drunk Jeom-am-daek (played by So Hee-jeong) that the two haks and Cheol-woong were brothers. From a young age, she realized that Doo-hak had no choice but to give in to Cheol-woong, the owner's son, and suspected that Doo-hak might have committed murder in the past.

When Jeong-shin asked, “Is it true that Doo-hak killed someone back then?” Cheol-woong was disappointed, saying, “You can’t see me in your eyes, either then or now.” “I can’t see you, Choi Cheol-woong. Every time I see you, I think of Doo-hak,” he said, and even after three years, the single-mindedness of a spirit that only knows Doo-hak was touching. Afterwards, when Jeom-am Daek once again asked the truth, he said, "(Cheolwoongin) is my child born from my heart," and the spirit gave up his doubts.

While Cheol-woong walked on the road, Doo-hak quietly strengthened his power under Chae Dong-pal (played by Kim Byeong-gi), a tycoon of the underground economy, a Korean in Japan who saved him. Dong-pal is a person with so much power that Jeong-yeong personally comes to him and secretly asks him to do government work. Duhak was looking for an opportunity to return to Korea, vowing revenge. At this time, Doo-hak, who happened to see Cheol-woong, who had come to Japan on a business trip to follow his loyalty, was surprised and hid himself. Duhak's intense gaze towards Cheolwoong and his loyalty that drove him into the abyss made us look forward to the counterattack he would show in the future.

Meanwhile, according to Nielsen Korea, a viewership rating research company, episode 11 of 'Oasis' recorded a viewership rating of 6.9% nationwide and 6.7% in the metropolitan area. Not only did it take first place in its time slot across all channels, but it also took first place for 11 consecutive Monday-Tuesday dramas. The scene that recorded the highest viewer rating per minute was the scene where Hwang Chung-seong (played by Jeon No-min) and Choi Cheol-woong come to meet Chae Dong-pal (played by Kim Byeong-gi), a tycoon of the Japanese underground economy, to help with diplomacy with the Soviet Union, which soared to 8.2% in the metropolitan area.
