[Chart IS] ‘Hip-Hope’ Lee Seung-jun’s twist, he was with Han Ji-min’s mother ‘on the day she died’… 8.1%

‘Hip-hop’ Han Ji-min learned the suspicious facts surrounding her mother’s death.

In the 10th episode of JTBC’s Saturday-Sunday drama ‘Hip-Hope’, which aired on the 10th, Bong Ye-bun (Han Ji-min) and Moon Sang-yeol (Lee Min-ki) struggled to find a third person with superpowers who is presumed to be a serial killer. Meanwhile, the suspicious activities of Kim Seon-woo (Suho) and Cha Joo-man (Lee Seung-jun) heightened anxiety.

Viewers reacted enthusiastically to the unpredictable development. The viewer rating for the 10th episode was 8.1% both nationwide and in the metropolitan area (Nielsen Korea, based on paid households), breaking its own record and ranking first among dramas in its time slot. The target audience rating for 2049 in the metropolitan area was 2.9%.

Bong Ye-bun believed in Kim Seon-woo even though he was worried about Moon Mun-yeol, who was suspicious of him. Seon-Woo Kim, who was trying to peel an apple with a rose-patterned knife, misunderstood that he was threatening Bong Ye-Bun. To Moon Moon-yeol, who doubted himself, Kim Seon-woo made a strange expression rather than giving a positive explanation, adding to his doubts.

A ‘Secret Special Investigation Headquarters’ was set up in Moon Jang-yeol’s rooftop room. The investigation gained momentum as superpowers Bong Ye-bun and Jeon Gwang-sik (Park No-sik) joined the special investigation team. Moon Jang-yeol estimated that one of the villagers who encountered Bong Ye-bun on the night Lee Ji-sook (Jang Yu-hwa) died may be another superpower and the culprit. While the identity of the serial killer was shrouded in mystery, Bong Ye-bun and Mun Ye-yeol set up a special booth where people could perform psychometry at the Daeha Festival. When Park Jong-bae (Park Hyuk-kwon) pretended to read fortunes, Bong Ye-bun used psychometry to find out who the third psychic was behind the pillar of the barn on the day the meteor fell. The support team of the ‘Ye-yeol combination (Ye-bun x Jang-yeol)’ was reassuring. Bae Ok-hee’s (Joo Min-kyung) family guided local residents to a special booth, and Jeon Gwang-sik provided a foot massage service and set out to hunt down the culprit.

Relay psychometry results caused confusion. The number of people who visited the barn that day was narrowed down to three. Park Jong-bae visited Mujin Mountain to restore his spiritual strength. Cha Joo-man came to develop a resort by persuading Jeon Gwang-sik’s father, who refused to sell the land, but he returned empty-handed. And Kim Seon-woo, whose reason for coming to the celebration was unknown, was also raised as a suspect. Accordingly, suspicions about Kim Sun-woo grew. Kim Seon-woo, who had a strange look whenever he encountered Cha Joo-man, continued to overlap with Cha Joo-man’s movements. Moreover, he completely refused to give Jeon Gwang-sik a foot massage, which aroused suspicion. Moreover, the results of Jeon Kwang-sik’s psychometry on Park Jong-bae were shocking. Kim Seon-woo was behind the pillar of the barn. The mysterious aspect of Kim Seon-woo, whose true intentions are unknown, gave a chill.

Cha Ju-man’s suspicious activities were also revealed. Bong Ye-bun was shocked to learn through psychometry new facts surrounding the death of her mother Jeong Mi-ok (Choi Jeong-in) that Cha Joo-man did not tell her. Jeong Mi-ok was found dead in a car that had fallen into the sea. Cha Joo-man was in the car with Jeong Mi-ok before she died and then got out. Bong-ye, who saw the last of Jeong Mi-ok twitching as if she had fallen asleep, was overcome with confusion. She also found out that her grandfather Jeong Jeong-hwan (Yang Jae-seong) handed over her scrapbook to her Won Jong-muk (Kim Hee-won) and asked for something from her.

Meanwhile, Won Jong-mook began investigating the past Mujin real estate fraud case based on the scrapbook that Jeong Eui-hwan collected after the death of his daughter Jeong Mi-ok. At the time, people paid more to buy land due to rumors of redevelopment, and when the redevelopment was canceled, they suffered great damage. Yoon Deok-hyeon (Choi Moo-seong), who was an aide to Cha Ju-man, sold all of it when the price of land rose, and the stories of the elders that Cha Ju-man must have also made hundreds of millions of won were meaningful. In addition, the fact that reporter Jeong Mi-ok fought alongside real estate fraud victims until her death raised suspicions.
