"Just before the front door closed, an awl flew in."
ENA's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Honor: Their Court' has taken over the home theater with its breathless developments. The second episode aired on the 3rd, delivering a shocking ending where the protagonist Lee Na-young is ambushed by an unidentified assailant, creating peak tension. The viewership rating for the day recorded 3.2% nationwide and 3.0% in the metropolitan area (according to Nielsen Korea), showing a steep upward trend and signaling a box office hit.
The broadcast began with the confession of Jo Yoo-jung, who appeared covered in blood at the L&J law firm's 10th-anniversary party. She claimed to have murdered reporter Lee Joon-hyuk, but Lee Na-young captured Jo Yoo-jung's anxious self-harm habits and discerned that it was a false confession. It was the moment when the truth manipulated by someone's threats was revealed.
The pursuit of the truth continued urgently. Lee Cheong-ah analyzed the photos left on the mobile phone at the crime scene and uncovered that a masked third person was present at the scene. This was a decisive circumstance indicating that Jo Yoo-jung was forced to wield a weapon, expanding the case from a simple murder to a mystery with a huge backdrop.
In particular, the ugly reality of the secret prostitution application 'ConnectIn' was revealed, inciting public outrage among viewers. The structure of the sexual exploitation cartel that treats victims like objects and systematically destroys evidence surfaced, enhancing the immersion of the drama.
At the end of the broadcast, the price of getting closer to the truth was harsh. While returning home, Lee Na-young was terrorized by an assailant who intruded through the gap of the front door, stabbing her hand with an awl. The sight of Lee Na-young screaming in a defenseless state sent chills through the home theater and exploded curiosity for the next episode.
Meanwhile, 'Honor: Their Court', which foreshadows a more complicated narrative as Jung Eun-chae's ambition intersects with Lee Na-young's past memories, airs every Monday and Tuesday night at 10 PM on ENA.
