Lee Min-ki‘s hidden past is revealed.

On the 3rd episode of KBS2’s Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Face Me’ (directed by Jo Rok-hwan/written by Hwang Ye-jin) airing on the 13th, the heartbreaking past story of Cha Jung-woo (played by Lee Min-ki) will be revealed.

The released photo shows Jung-woo wearing formal attire, standing a little nervously, smiling affectionately with his ex-girlfriend Yoon Hye-jin (played by Ha-young). Also, the situation where he is surrounded by reporters and staring off into space creates extreme tension.

In particular, the decisive reason why Jung-woo, who used to be an emergency medicine specialist who saves people‘s lives, transferred to a plastic surgery clinic that fixes appearances is finally revealed in that day’s broadcast. The reason why he tries so hard to avoid his patients‘ emotions and the hidden story that makes him have no choice but to look into the hearts of crime victims will be revealed, relieving viewers’ curiosity.

On the other hand, the cooperation between the cold Jung-woo and the cheerful and lively MZ detective Lee Min-hyung (played by Han Ji-hyun) of the violent crimes unit makes us watch their relationship gradually change. The two people who bicker whenever they meet eventually stand on the victims‘ side and display their special cooperation with their excellent medical opinions and investigative skills.

While treating a victim of a hydrochloric acid attack, Jung-woo faces an extreme situation and is forced to take off his shoes once again. Accordingly, attention is focused on Jung-woo’s actions and words that will leave a deep impression on the viewers.

Episode 3 of ‘Face Me’ will air at 9:50 PM on the 13th (today).
