Kim Bu-jang, So Ji-sub, Chae Dae-hoon, and Yoon Kyung-ho all faced a major crisis.
In Episode 9 of the SBS Fri-Sat drama Kim Bu-jang, which aired on the 24th, Kim Bu-jang (played by So Ji-sub), Sung Han-soo (played by Chae Dae-hoon), and Park Jin-cheol (played by Yoon Kyung-ho) faced a major crisis after a life-threatening operation. Above all, Joo Kang-chan's (played by Joo Sang-wook) counterattack was fierce. This further heightened curiosity about what kind of ending the final episode (Episode 10) will bring.
In this episode of Kim Bu-jang, the North Korean delegation representative had previously used the fact that the South Korean government helped Ri Eung-ryeong (played by Lee Jae-yong) defect and assigned bodyguard duty to Kim Bu-jang, a most-wanted fugitive, as a pretext to declare the suspension of the high-level inter-Korean talks. The North Korean side pressured them, saying that if the two were not handed over immediately, inter-Korean relations would change completely, and in the end the Special Missions Bureau, under the Prime Minister's orders, handed Kim Bu-jang and Ri Eung-ryeong over to North Korean agents.

Joo Kang-chan then pointed a gun at Kim Bu-jang, saying, "I will get rid of you for my daughter too."
After that, Kim Bu-jang subdued the North Korean agents at the moment Joo Kang-chan turned his back after ordering them to put him in the trunk. Sung Han-soo and Park Jin-cheol, who had followed behind Kim Bu-jang, then joined in and turned the situation around. Joo Kang-chan ended up being the one caught instead. Sensing the crisis, Joo Kang-chan proposed a deal to Kim Bu-jang. When pressed about Ri Eung-ryeong's whereabouts, he offered to help search for her if they spared his life. Kim Bu-jang accepted the proposal while suppressing his revenge for the sake of a new life with his daughter Min-ji (played by Seo Soo-min).
Kim Bu-jang's group then carried out a rescue operation for Ri Eung-ryeong together with Jung Sang-ah (played by Son Na-eun) and Lim (played by Park Jin-woo) from the Special Missions Bureau. They had obtained the interior layout and security information of Joo Kang-chan's resort, where the North Korean delegation was staying, from Joo Kang-chan. To infiltrate the heavily guarded resort, Kim Bu-jang's team had Joo Kang-chan lead the way, with Kim Bu-jang disguised as a driver, Park Jin-cheol as a bodyguard, and Jung Sang-ah as a secretary. Sung Han-soo hid in the trunk of the vehicle and joined the infiltration, adding tension and a touch of humor.
Sung Han-soo, Park Jin-cheol, and Jung Sang-ah took control of the resort CCTV monitoring room and found out that Ri Eung-ryeong was being held in a suite.
Kim Bu-jang infiltrated the suite by climbing a rope along the building's outer wall. Meanwhile, the North Korean representative was torturing Ri Eung-ryeong with water torture and trying to coax him into handing over the 8 million dollars in covert funds for operations against the South that he had hidden. But Kim Bu-jang, who overheard their conversation, subdued the North Korean representative at the crucial moment and rescued Ri Eung-ryeong.
At the same time, Sung Han-soo and Park Jin-cheol also added their strength by engaging in fierce hand-to-hand combat against the North Korean agents.
The North Korean representative then ordered both Kim Bu-jang and Ri Eung-ryeong to be eliminated. The resort then descended into chaos as a gunfight broke out. The North Korean agents also activated an EMP bomb that cut off all power inside the resort. Because of this, all of Kim Bu-jang's team's plans collapsed.
With no contact possible with Sung Han-soo, Chae Dae-hoon, and others, Kim Bu-jang desperately tried to escape with Ri Eung-ryeong while blocking the hail of bullets, but in the end they were surrounded by North Korean agents, and he continued the standoff at gunpoint with Ri Eung-ryeong back-to-back.
After fiercely battling the North Korean agents, Sung Han-soo and Park Jin-cheol returned to the room to assess the situation and came face to face with Joo Kang-chan, who had broken free of his restraints.
Joo Kang-chan sneered at the two men, who looked at him without much concern, and threw a cell phone at them. Through a video on the phone, Park Jin-cheol confirmed that his daughter Da-bin (played by Lee Na-yeon) and Sung Han-soo's son Tae-hoon (played by Yang Jun-seok) were bound and pleading to be saved. Sung Han-soo also confirmed this. Park Jin-cheol, enraged, rushed at Joo Kang-chan, and Joo Kang-chan continued his threats, saying, "If you touch even one finger on my body, the kids will die."
Park Jin-cheol grabbed Joo Kang-chan by the collar and warned, "If anything happens to Da-bin, I'll chew you up to the bone." Sung Han-soo also screamed, "Where are the kids?" In response, Joo Kang-chan only wore a cold smile. Joo Kang-chan's counterattack, a cruel trap, delivered a shock.
Kim Bu-jang, Sung Han-soo, and Park Jin-cheol went on a life-threatening mission. At the end of the operation, the three faced a major crisis. Whether Kim Bu-jang can protect Ri Eung-ryeong, and whether Sung Han-soo and Park Jin-cheol can rescue their respective children kidnapped by Joo Kang-chan, makes the final episode even more intriguing. Also, whether Kim Bu-jang can reunite with his daughter Min-ji, and how the final ending of Kim Bu-jang will conclude, are drawing attention. The final episode airs on the 25th at 9:45 PM.
Meanwhile, Episode 9 of Kim Bu-jang recorded a nationwide household rating of 21.5% according to Nielsen Korea. Although it slightly fell from the previous episode's 23.1%, it surpassed 20% for six consecutive episodes, showing a strong box-office streak that has not weakened even ahead of the final episode.
