In the 15th episode of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Hip-Hope' (directed by Seok-yoon Kim, written by Nam-gyu Lee, production studio Phoenix/SLL), which aired on the 30th, a shocking twist unfolded in which the serial killer who killed Kim Seon-woo (played by Su-ho) was the shaman Park Jong-bae (played by Park Hyuk-kwon). .
Bong Ye-bun (Han Ji-min) and Moon Moon-yeol (Lee Min-ki) suffered from the loss of Kim Seon-woo and the guilt of not trusting him. Moon Seon-yeol devoted himself to finding the trick that Jeon Gwang-sik (played by Park No-sik) had mentioned about creating a black screen even with his eyes open. I finally figured out the secret by looking at the car tint that was visible from the inside but not from the outside. Because the culprit was wearing sunglasses, a black screen was visible when Bong Ye-bun performed psychometry. The criminal, who was wearing sunglasses when he killed Cha Joo-man (played by Lee Seung-jun), walked away with his eyes closed and turned off the light when Jeong Eui-hwan (played by Yang Jae-seong) came in and turned on the light to avoid being caught by Bong Ye-bun. This was the mysterious reason why there were blood stains on the switch.
Bong Ye-bun had an intuition that Park Jong-bae was the culprit, and through psychometry, he knew that he was a serial killer. Park Jong-bae’s hypocrisy was shocking. Even though he killed Kim Seon-woo, who lived with him, he pretended to be sad and cried in front of the villagers and even went to Cheondojae. Even “Do you understand now? “I guess I had a hard time because of this,” he joked, pointing to his sunglasses, causing anger. Bong Ye-bun tried to secure evidence by turning on the cell phone recorder, but Park Jong-bae, who knew everything just by looking in the eyes, was not easy. Looking at Park Jong-bae, who immediately recognized him, Bong Ye-bun despaired when he realized that his psychometric ability was his eyes.
Kim Seon-woo also knew that Park Jong-bae was the culprit. The blood on Kim Seon-woo's hands, which Moon Mun-yeol had no choice but to suspect, came from his encounter with Park Jong-bae, who killed Jeon Gwang-sik. Kim Seon-woo's awkward behavior, which was suspicious, was to avoid Park Jong-bae's eyes. Even though he knew that Park Jong-bae would kill him, he did not run away to protect Bongye Bun. Park Jong-bae and Bong Ye-bun, who boasted about the dead Kim Seon-woo, were angry. Moreover, Park Jong-bae shed crocodile tears, saying that it was a mistake to kill Jung Eui-hwan, who had been good to him. Park Jong-bae's threat to live as if he knew nothing because he was sorry for killing his grandfather Jung Eui-hwan and that he would not kill him increased the tension.
Bongye Bun launched a counterattack. Even as he was dying, Kim Seon-woo left his cell phone password in the Arabic language he had taught Bong Ye-bun to catch Park Jong-bae. Because he thought that when he died, Bong Ye-bun would use psychometry to find the truth. Moreover, Park Jong-bae's eerie warning that he would continue to kill people was recorded on his cell phone.
Bong Ye-bun deliberately acted cold to Mun Jang-yeol in order to alienate Park Jong-bae. He secretly handed over Kim Seon-woo's cell phone password to Moon Mun-yeol, saying that Park Jong-bae was the culprit. As a result of the joint investigation between the two, Park Jong-bae was arrested. Bong Ye-bun and Mun Jang-yeol's eyes turned red as they let Kim Seon-woo go. Bong Ye-bun patted the back of Mun Jang-yeol, who was suffering from guilt, and returned the ‘comfort’ she had received from him. He continued, “I’m sorry. I apologize for pushing you even though I know it wasn't your fault. Actually, I was also suspicious of Seonwoo. “I hated myself so much for being like that,” he said, apologizing for resenting the string of sentences even for a moment. Sentence-Yeol attributed it to his own fault, saying that he caught it too late and many victims were created. It was unfortunate that Moon Jae-yeol's self-reproach that he would be in pain every moment while he lived while thinking of Kim Seon-woo was sad.
Even after his arrest, Park Jong-bae showed no signs of remorse. At the moment the meteor fell, Park Jong-bae made eye contact with the cow 'Geumsil' and gained superpowers. After learning about the human heart, his first murder was his cheating wife in Australia. It wasn't true that he lost his family because of the car owner. It was a lie borrowed from Kim Sun-woo's past history. “There was no particular motive. The shaman’s shameless statement, “Just for fun,” caused anger.
Moreover, Park Jong-bae's crime was not over. He was anxious about Kim Seon-woo leaving behind evidence, so he kidnapped Bae Ok-hee (played by Joo Min-kyung), saying he thought he should take out an insurance policy. Bong Ye-bun psychometricized Park Jong-bae. However, after kidnapping Bae Ok-hee, Park Jong-bae closed his eyes as if teasing him, anticipating Bong Ye-bun's psychometry. “Free me. Park Jong-bae’s eerie threat, saying, “Only then will Bae Ok-hee survive,” caused goosebumps.
Meanwhile, the final episode of JTBC's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Be Hip' will be aired at 10:30 pm today (1st).
