Lee Min-ki and Jeon Bae-soo make an important announcement in front of reporters.
In the second episode of KBS2‘s Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Face Me’ (directed by Jo Rok-hwan/ written by Hwang Ye-jin) on the 7th, Kim Seok-hoon (played by Jeon Bae-soo)’s unexpected and impulsive behavior flusters Cha Jung-woo (played by Lee Min-ki).
In the previous episode, Jung-woo, who had no interest in the patient‘s story at all, listened earnestly to the story of Oh Ji-yoon (played by Jang Ha-eun) who visited the hospital to erase the face that looks identical to her dead twin sister, which moved viewers as the drama soared to a peak viewership rating of 3.9% (based on nationwide households, provided by Nielsen Korea).
The photos released ahead of the second episode show Jung-woo with a displeased expression and Seok-hoon calmly continuing to talk. Also, while Jung-woo maintains a blank expression without showing any change in emotion, Seok-hoon smiles, making us wonder about his intentions.

In the broadcast that day, Jung-woo is led to the conference room by Seok-hoon without knowing anything. Director Seok-hoon simply tells him to cooperate without giving him any further explanation.
For a moment, Jung-woo is dumbfounded by the scene unfolding before his eyes, and Seok-hoon casually explains his plan. He says that Seok-hoon planned all of this to make up for the previous refusal to treat patients. We wonder what they are trying to do, and whether Jung-woo, who only focuses on the patient’s surgery without emotion, will follow Seok-hoon‘s words.
Jung-woo reaches a new turning point in his life from this point on. We wonder about what will happen to Jung-woo, who had only seen patients as objects of surgery rather than caring for them, and his actions as a doctor. Furthermore, attention is focused on what kind of fun the chemistry between Seok-hoon and Lee, who have been squabbling from the beginning, will bring to the drama.
Episode 2 of ‘Face Me’ will air at 9:50 PM on the 7th (today).
