The second episode of Mary Kills People has left viewers stunned with a mix of romance, emotional depth, and a jaw-dropping twist. Starring Lee Bo-young and Lee Min-ki, the drama continues to explore the moral complexities of assisted death while deepening the bond between the two leads. The episode ended with a shocking revelation that has sparked intense discussions among fans.

A Growing Connection Between Woo So-jung and Cho Hyun-woo

The episode opens with a flashback revealing how Woo So-jung (Lee Bo-young), her colleague Choi Dae-hyun (Kang Ki-young), and nurse Choi Ye-na (Yoon Ga-yi) formed a secret team to assist terminally ill patients in ending their suffering. They follow strict conditionsโ€”irreversible diagnosis, unbearable pain, and no medical solutions left.

In the present, So-jung faces a difficult choice when she meets Jo Soo-young (Lee Won-jung), a high school student with stage 4 colon cancer and only two weeks to live. The young girl pleads for a peaceful death, leading So-jung to prioritize her case over Cho Hyun-woo (Lee Min-ki), a brain tumor patient who has also chosen assisted death.

Hyun-wooโ€™s Struggle and So-jungโ€™s Hidden Feelings

Later, So-jung coincidentally meets Hyun-woo at a welfare hospital. Their conversations reveal his acceptance of death, while So-jung struggles with her growing emotions. When asked why she helps people die, she responds:

“I believe people should have the right to choose life or death. Death isnโ€™t a crime.”

Hyun-woo takes her to the orphanage where he grew up, calling it his happiest place. He explains his decision:

“I tried everything. Nothing changed. Thatโ€™s why I could finally give up.”

Unable to accept his fate, So-jung secretly finds a new clinical trial and urges him to try it. However, Hyun-woo angrily rejects her, accusing her of ignoring his pain. He disappears, leaving So-jung desperate to find him.

A Rescue, a Confession, and a Kiss

Just as So-jung faces danger from an abusive husband at the hospital, Hyun-woo reappears to protect her. As she treats his injured hand, they reconcile. In a tearful moment, she confesses:

“I want you to live.”

Hyun-woo responds with a gentle kiss, marking a turning point in their relationship.

The Shocking Twist Ending

The episode takes a dramatic turn when Detective Boo appears at Hyun-wooโ€™s old dorm, paying his overdue rentโ€”raising suspicions. In the final scene, as So-jung and Hyun-woo share a tender moment in public, another man is introduced as the real Cho Hyun-woo, leaving viewers questioning everything theyโ€™ve seen so far.

Fan Reactions and Ratings

The twist ending has sparked massive reactions online, with fans praising the performances and writing:

“That ending was a total plot twist. My mindโ€™s still blank.”
“Lee Bo-youngโ€™s acting is phenomenalโ€”pure artistry.”
“Both Lee Bo-young and Lee Min-ki are delivering career-best performances!”

The episode achieved a 3.5% nationwide rating, maintaining strong viewer interest.

Whatโ€™s Next for “Mary Kills People”?

With Hyun-wooโ€™s true identity now in question, the drama is set to explore deeper mysteries, betrayals, and psychological twists. The next episode will likely reveal more about his past and the detectiveโ€™s investigation into So-jungโ€™s secret activities.

Mary Kills People airs every Friday and Saturday at 10 PM KST on MBC.
