‘Iron Family’ is creating memorable scenes every episode.
In episodes 11 and 12 of KBS 2TV‘s special weekend drama ‘Iron Family’ (directed by Sung Joon-hae, Seo Yong-soo / written by Seo Sook-hyang), Go Bong-hee (played by Park Ji-young), who runs a clean laundry shop, started spending Baek Ji-yeon’s (played by Kim Hye-eun) money that she dug up from Mt. Eugak, creating tense moments.
In particular, Ji-yeon, who had been remembering the serial numbers of the lost money, found out that someone was using her money. When the secret surrounding the missing 10 billion won was revealed to the surface, viewers showed various reactions.
The 12th episode, which aired on Sunday the 3rd, recorded a viewership rating of 17.7% (provided by Nielsen Korea, nationwide households), showing an upward trend in viewership ratings. Here, the scene where Baek Ji-yeon goes to the wedding of Lee Moo-rim (Kim Hyun-joon), the eldest son of the Clean Laundry, to find Bae Hae-ja (Oh Young-sil), who gave her money, in order to get the money back, proved his hot interest by reaching a peak of 19.5% in viewership ratings. Let‘s take a look at the killing points of episodes 11 and 12 of ‘Iron Family’ that instantly captured the hearts of viewers.
● Episode 11: Choi Tae-joon goes to find his biological father Shin Hyun-joon
Tae-woong, who is working at the Clean Laundry, suddenly sees his biological father. Ji Seung-don (Shin Hyun-joon), the chairman of Ji Seung Group, comes to see Tae-woong and confesses to him that he is his biological father, but Tae-woong cruelly turns away, saying that nothing will change for him.
Tae-woong, enraged by this, goes to Ji Seung Group to meet Seung-don. When Tae-woong barges into the chairman’s office, Seung-don‘s son Kang-joo becomes restless, and Tae-woong swears at Seung-don. Kang-ju couldn’t help but be shocked by the fact that Tae-woong was Seung-don‘s biological son. While Tae-woong’s unexpected actions in front of Kang-ju surprised viewers, Kang-ju couldn‘t shake off the thought that Tae-woong was Seung-don’s biological son, which made viewers feel sorry. Whether Tae-woong will cut ties with Seung-don or not is drawing attention to the future relationship between the two.
● Episode 12: Kim Hye-eun finds out that her money is floating around the world
Ji-yeon, who had 10 billion won stolen, went to see Kim Sung-hoon (Park Sung-hyun), who had worked for her father, to get the money back. She told Sung-hoon that all of her money started with the serial number AA, and that it was from when the 50,000 won bill was first issued, so it was extremely rare now. In the meantime, Bong-hee gave Hae-ja the money that Ji-yeon had stolen as meat money, and Hae-ja gave the money she received from Bong-hee to Ji-yeon, who bought her clothes, in full, creating tension that made viewers‘ palms sweat.
Ji-yeon then discovered the serial number of the money Hae-ja had given her, and was excited when she saw a 50,000 won note starting with AA. After that, the scene where she and Kang-joo searched for the person who gave her the money heightened the sense of anxiety in the drama. Expectations are rising for the next episode, wondering what will happen to the Clean Laundry family and the Ji-seung Group family.
Episode 13 of ‘Iron Family’ will air on Saturday, the 9th at 8 PM.
