Final Showdown: 'Confidence Man KR' Unveils Key Points Ahead of Series Finale
According to Flix Patrol, 'Confidence Man KR' has made it to the Amazon Prime Worldwide TOP 10 and Coupang Play TOP 2, gaining significant attention on both domestic and international OTT platforms. However, its viewership ratings have dropped to a low of 0.7% by the 10th episode.
In the latest episode, the ultimate villain Kang Yo-seop, played by Kim Tae-hoon, finally made his appearance, as Yoon Yi-rang (Park Min-young) and James (Park Hee-soon) were on his trail. The tension escalated when Myeong Gu-ho (Joo Jong-hyuk) discovered Yoon Yi-rang's incident board filled with connections to the final villain.
Ahead of the series finale on the 12th, the production team has shared crucial 'final viewing points' for episodes 11 and 12.
Park Hee-soon has captivated audiences with his transformations into a 60-year-old dealer, a detective, a captain, a jazz singer, and more, showcasing his unique style and impressive acting skills. Joo Jong-hyuk has demonstrated his versatility by playing roles such as a shaman's assistant, a party waiter, and a first artist doctor, among others.
As Yoon Yi-rang, James, and Myeong Gu-ho have navigated through various industries, their final act of revenge promises to deliver unparalleled humor and impact.
The 10th episode ended with Myeong Gu-ho discovering Yoon Yi-rang's incident board, which included photos of villains previously targeted by 'Team Confidence Man' and his father, Myeong Jin-soo (Kim Joong-ki). This revelation left him in shock, leading to a heated confrontation with Yoon Yi-rang.
Myeong Gu-ho is now grappling with the truth about his father's death, raising questions about his loyalty to 'Team Confidence Man' and the fate of their once-strong camaraderie.
Yoon Yi-rang's quest for revenge is another focal point. As the only daughter of a conglomerate chairman, she lived a privileged life until a traumatic kidnapping incident on her 10th birthday. Teaming up with James, she pursued Myeong Jin-soo, who had received a reward for reporting the kidnapping but was later found dead. This fueled her determination to uncover the true culprit.
Using villain Ha Jung-ho (Park Myung-ho) to acquire a painting favored by the true culprit, Yoon Yi-rang lured Kang Yo-seop out at an exhibition. His nonchalant recounting of her kidnapping at a book launch infuriated her, setting the stage for a tense showdown.
The production team teased, "Episodes 11 and 12 of 'Confidence Man KR' will feature unpredictable developments. Stay tuned to see if Park Min-young, Park Hee-soon, and Joo Jong-hyuk can deliver a satisfying conclusion."
'Confidence Man KR' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 10:30 PM on TV CHOSUN and Coupang Play.
