We’re fairly near the tip right here, and “Longing for You” doesn’t let up its frenetic pacing because it enters the penultimate week. All the villains are out within the open, so all that is still for Oh Jin Sung (Na In Woo), Go Young Joo (Kim Ji Eun), and Cha Young Woon (Kwon Yool) is to place them behind bars. But placing the chief of Korea’s largest medical middle behind bars is less complicated mentioned than completed, particularly when the reality causes a sudden fracture inside the group.

Here are 4 occasions Yoo Jung Sook was outsmarted within the earlier episodes:

Warning: spoilers for episodes 11-12 under.

1. When Jin Sung stored calm in entrance of Jung Woo No

It’s all Jin Sung can do to stay calm after discovering out that Jung Woo No (Kim Chul Ki) killed his brother on Yoo Jung Sook’s (Bae Jong Ok’s) orders. He confronts Woo No at Jin Jin hospital, however the man shrugs him off, trying unflappable as a result of he is aware of he’s untouchable. Jin Sung is about to throw arms when he remembers Young Joo’s recommendation. When preventing towards a Goliath like Jin Jin, they will’t afford to make foolish errors, so he reins himself in and lets Woo No depart.

But it seems that Woo No’s departing to fulfill Young Woon, who’s nonetheless in shock that his half-brother was murdered with a view to give him a coronary heart. Woo No all however confirms it however firmly believes he did nothing mistaken. Young Woon bitterly notes that his mom is mainly Woo No’s god, and Woo No doesn’t deny it. Young Woon returns dwelling livid and confronts his household, yelling at their audacity, at their lack of morals, and at how disgusting they’re. And the worst half is that Jung Sook doesn’t flinch. She genuinely doesn’t care and tells him as a lot. She actually says that some lives are value greater than others, and Young Woon’s life mattered greater than Jin Woo’s as a result of he’s going to do “great things.”

Young Woon is at a loss on what to do. Jung Sook laughs that nobody in Korea can prosecute her. Her ties to each legislative and monetary physique are too nice for anybody to be able to touching her. Young Woon is about to throw all of it away and prosecute her, when his gross father Cha Jin Cheol (Choi Kwang Il) exhibits up and justifies his spouse’s actions. Jin Cheol wasn’t conscious that Young Woon obtained Jin Woo’s coronary heart however doesn’t care. He guilt journeys Young Woon, saying that his mom has solely existed for him, his well being, profession, and happiness. He reminds Young Woon that he’s solely alive due to his mom. And the subsequent factor we all know, Young Woon formally sides along with his household.

2. When Ki Young knowledgeable Ma Ri of Jin Woo’s demise

It’s vile how Jung Sook has made a behavior out of rescuing folks in want and forcing them to carry out all method of unsavory deeds for her. But the one who discovered greatest from her instance wasn’t Young Woon however Park Ki Young (Lee Kyu Han). It isn’t clear but as to how he grew to become conscious of Jung Sook’s true nature, however what is obvious is that the second he knew, he put a complete lot into motion with one objective: tearing her down. Ki Young is on no account a hero. He was absolutely ready to kill Young Joo to harm Young Woon and assisted Bae Min Kyu (Jung Sang Hoon) in his serial killings. But his premeditated actions find yourself serving to Jin Sung out as he begins the onerous battle towards a medical conglomerate that owns a superb quantity of the nation.

Joining him within the battle is Young Joo, who was shocked and heartbroken at Young Woon’s refusal to help them and his insistence that she do nothing. But in a wonderful shock and little bit of character progress, spoiled prosecutor Yang Hee Joo (Jung Ga Hee) rises to the event, decided to do proper with the ability she’s been given. As the chief prosecutor’s daughter, she’s fairly untouchable, in order that’s a robust group Jin Woo has on his aspect. But Jin Jin is highly effective sufficient to get Woo No out of jail the second Jin Sung points a warrant. So he simply wants a pair extra issues.

First, Jin Sung wants Ma Ri (An Si Ha), Jin Woo’s beginning mom, to vouch that Jung Sook knew that Jin Woo and Young Woon have been half-brothers. Next, he wants video proof that Woo No killed Jin Woo on Jung Sook’s orders. Woo No’s able to sacrifice himself, however Jin Sung needs the top of the snake lower off right here, not the tail. Jung Sook is for certain that Ma Ri gained’t be a part of Jin Sung’s aspect and is shocked when Ma Ri does. Jung Sook genuinely isn’t able to understanding that individuals are able to something when cornered, and Ma Ri has been cornered for a very long time. Via a hidden digital camera, Ki Young had gotten footage of Jung Sook and Woo No celebrating after Jin Woo’s homicide and Young Woon’s surgical procedure whereas dissing Ma Ri—one take a look at the video, and Ma Ri returned to Korea with one objective: to wreck Jung Sook. Thankfully, she isn’t the one one with that objective.

3. When Jin Sung dug into Ki Young’s previous

Digging into all of the helpful tidbits Ki Young left them leads Jin Sung to a good friend of Ki Young’s mom. There, he finds that Ki Young’s mom was a mannequin with a budding profession till she fell pregnant. The father? Cha Jin Cheol, Young Woon’s father and Jung Sook’s husband, strikes once more. This man was simply operating round dishonest and fathering children all over the place. What occurred subsequent was a predictable sample. Jung Sook came upon concerning the dishonest. She equipped Ki Young’s mom with medicine, which have been really narcotics. She turned his mom into an addict, received her killed, and swooped in to hold Ki Young to her place, performing like she was “saving” him and sponsoring him.

But Ki Young discovered that she was solely conserving him round so she may kill him and provides Jin Woo his coronary heart. See, Ki Young has Hepatitis B, probably because of some contact from his mom’s drug use. This made him an unsuitable candidate for Jung Sook’s valuable Young Woon. That was what saved him. It’s much more terrifying as a result of Jung Sook has been monitoring each her husband’s different kids for years, simply so she will kill them. But did she actually kill Ki Young?

4. When Jin Sung realized that Ki Young wasn’t lifeless

Slightly extra digging raises extra questions on Ki Young’s demise. Why would somebody with such a vendetta select to stroll away from life? Why was his physique so obliterated that it took dental information to seek out him? Jin Sung’s group takes a brand new method: what if Ki Young’s alive? It doesn’t take Jin Sung lengthy to seek out corroborating proof.

The enamel discovered within the crash matched Ki Young’s outdated dental information from 2019, however they didn’t match his new information. Bae Min Kyu, dentist and assassin, had really crammed in a cavity for Ki Young in 2021. Jin Jin manufactured a faux set of enamel and plugged them right into a physique (or an individual, yikes) with a view to faux Ki Young’s demise. But the person is alive, and it doesn’t take Jin Sung lengthy to hunt him down in Woo No’s suite, alive and nicely, however held prisoner. He barges in, Ki Young turns round, and by no means has a person seemed so blissful to be discovered.

This was a critically stable reveal. “Longing for You” isn’t excellent. There are inconsistencies, authorized inaccuracies, and procedural purple flags that increase eyebrows, however there’s no questioning that the pacing feels stable and the best way characters are interconnected feels natural. We’ve come a good distance from the preliminary serial killing thriller that began all of it, and the characters’ reactions really feel natural (even when the remainder of the realism doesn’t maintain up at occasions), together with Young Woon helping in masking issues up for his household out of guilt and self-recrimination. With Ki Young alive and his incriminating stash of movies now about to throw Young Woon’s complete household in jail, the query arises of what final reveals the present has for us. There’s most likely one thing, however I gained’t say no to 2 hours of Jung Sook being demolished both!
