The MBC Friday-Saturday drama “Doubt” is receiving explosive reactions, recording its highest ratings due to its unexpected storyline and the powerful performances of its cast.
In particular, the emotional scene from Episode 5, which aired on October 26th, drew attention. The protagonist, Jang Tae-soo (played by Han Seok-kyu), realized that his suspicions had hurt his daughter, Ha-bin (Chae Won-bin), and his late wife, Yoon Ji-soo (Oh Yeon-soo), leading viewers to tears.
This scene revealed what happened on the day Ji-soo died, hinting at a hidden secret that left viewers shocked.
Tae-soo discovers through Ji-soo’s counseling files that despite her efforts to raise Ha-bin normally, Ji-soo suffered from anxiety and pain due to Tae-soo’s suspicions.
Although Ji-soo briefly felt joy when Ha-bin made her first friend, Lee Soo-hyun (Song Ji-hyun), the situation took a turn when Soo-hyun expressed fear and unease around Ha-bin, bringing more pain to Ji-soo. This situation eventually affected Tae-soo, putting him at the center of the unfolding events.
As Tae-soo tracks down the truth behind Ji-soo’s death, he realizes the deep wounds his suspicions have caused, leading him to lose control. He goes as far as to threaten Choi Young-min (Kim Jung-jin) while questioning Ji-soo and Ha-bin’s secrets. Just when Tae-soo tries to protect Ha-bin by concealing Ji-soo’s secret, viewers are hit with yet another shocking twist. This scene garnered a 7.8% rating, becoming a hot topic.
“Doubt,” currently airing as a 10-episode series, has passed its halfway mark, with the plot’s mystery deepening. As more hidden secrets and the true culprit behind the case are revealed, viewers’ interest is growing even more. The mysterious man in a helmet who follows Ha-bin and other characters hiding something about the case are adding to the anticipation.
Especially intriguing is what happened between Tae-soo and Ha-bin on the day Ji-soo died, and what other secrets Ha-bin might be hiding from her father. The intense storyline and unpredictable developments are further immersing viewers.
“Doubt” airs every Friday and Saturday at 9:50 p.m. (KST) and is also available on the OTT platform Netflix.
