"Chaebol X Detective 2" ends with Season 3 tease; Kim Ji-won's "Doctor X" takes over Oct. 9
Chaebol X Detective 2 wrapped Sept. 19 with an open ending hinting at more. Doctor X: The Era of the White Mafia takes over the slot Oct. 9.
The finale that left a knife in the photo
Chaebol X Detective 2 aired its final episode on September 19 on SBS, closing out the Friday-Saturday slot with a resolution — and a deliberate loose thread.
An Bo-hyun's Jin Lee-soo and Jung Eun-chae's Joo Hye-ra brought down serial killer Yoo Seong-won, played by Yoo Seung-ho, through a live broadcast trap. The case wrapped. Jin Lee-soo, Joo Hye-ra, and the Major Crimes Unit 1 team received official commendations and departed on award leave.
Then came the final scene. A bloodied, unidentified man named Kim Ji-hoon studied a group photo of Jin Lee-soo's crew and drove a knife into Jin Lee-soo's face in the picture. Open ending. No resolution. (Season 3 bait, essentially.)
Kim Ji-won steps in on October 9
Doctor X: The Era of the White Mafia takes over the SBS Friday-Saturday 9:50 PM slot starting October 9, starring Kim Ji-won.
