MBC ‘A Bona Fide Killer’ Episode 9 Ratings Hit 9.0%… Secures 1st Place for Fri-Sat Dramas with 11.4% Ending

The 9th episode of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘A Bona Fide Killer,’ which aired on the 28th, recorded 9.0% for nationwide households and 8.7% for the Seoul metropolitan area according to Nielsen Korea, maintaining its position as the number one Friday-Saturday drama. In the ending scene where Lee Dong-jin (played by Lee Sang-yi) chases Jang Eun-hak (played by Kim Min-sang) and aims a gun, and Yu Bo-na (played by Gong Hyo-jin) aims a sniper rifle at the fleeing Jang Eun-hak from a rooftop, the momentary peak viewership soared to 11.4%.

In this episode, the past was revealed where Kwon Tae-seong (played by Jung Jun-won) was kidnapped by Sergei (played by Shin Hyun-soo) just before witnessing Yu Bo-na's sniping. Upon hearing news that Sergei had gone to find Kwon Tae-seong, Yu Bo-na headed home, and while hesitating to take the shot as she recalled four years ago when she attended a meeting with Yeon Chang-bok (played by Lee Kyu-sub) while pregnant, she eventually proceeded with the aim. However, the situation took a new turn as Yeon Chang-bok's son unexpectedly appeared.

At the moment Kwon Tae-seong headed to the rooftop of the Haegong-dong gosiwon after hearing news of Yeon Chang-bok's escape, Sergei struck him, thereby averting the crisis where Yu Bo-na's identity would be discovered by her husband. Instead, Sergei sniped Yeon Chang-bok, and Yu Bo-na was enraged by his action of pulling the trigger in front of the son. Sergei had previously kidnapped Kwon Tae-seong to the mountains and threatened him, saying, “It would be best if you stop taking an interest in Kingfisher. If you break the promise, your family could be in danger,” which was revealed as the reason why Kwon Tae-seong had stopped his coverage of Kingfisher.

Afterward, a three-way confrontation between Yu Bo-na, Kwon Tae-seong, and Sergei took place, and Kwon Tae-seong heard about his wife's past for the first time. Facing Sergei's provocation, Kwon Tae-seong countered, saying, “The important thing is not the past, but the present,” and Yu Bo-na and Sergei engaged in a physical struggle on the rooftop. Meanwhile, Lee Dong-jin learned that Jang Eun-hak, who was released on parole for causing injury resulting in death after killing his parents, was the new client meeting target for Durumi Electronics' Sales Team 3.

Lee Dong-jin lay in wait near the furniture workshop where Jang Eun-hak works and chased him, and after a drunken Jang Eun-hak stabbed the workshop owner, an alleyway chase ensued. As Lee Dong-jin, enraged while thinking of his parents, aimed his gun, Yu Bo-na aimed her sniper rifle on the rooftop, and Kwon Tae-seong also appeared at the scene, leaving curiosity for the next episode with an ending where the fates of the three people diverge.
