The situation
Namkoong Min's character in "The Husband" has taken a dark turn, with newly released stills showing him pointing a gun at his in-laws and demanding 3 billion won. This development comes after he escaped police custody to meet with a dangerous criminal. The plot thickens as Kang Tae Joo's actions become increasingly erratic.
What the internet did with it
- Netizens on Theqoo are chaotic, with one commenter saying — "he's really going all out to clear his name, I guess"
- The fact that Kang Tae Joo has been insisting on his innocence makes this sudden turn of events even more baffling, leaving viewers wondering what drove him to this point
- A user on Instiz pointed out that the show's pacing is getting more intense by the episode, with the *사이다* moment of Kang Tae Joo demanding money from his in-laws being a particularly shocking twist (*사이다* refers to a satisfying or shocking plot reveal)
The open question
The question on everyone's mind is what exactly happened to Kang Tae Joo's wife, and how his in-laws are connected to her disappearance, which will hopefully be answered in the next episode on July 12.
