Lee Min-ki Uncovers the Connection Between Detective Han Ji-hyun and Criminal Yoon Jeong-il in 'Face Me'

Lee Min-ki is making waves with his role in the KBS 2TV drama 'Face Me' (페이스미), where he portrays a plastic surgeon with a unique talent for solving cases. The series, directed by Jo Rok-hwan and written by Hwang Ye-jin, follows Cha Jung-woo (이민기) as he begins performing reconstructive surgeries for crime victims, leading him into a series of intriguing incidents. Initially indifferent to others' troubles, Jung-woo starts to change as he interacts with these victims, gradually opening his heart and providing a fresh and engaging narrative.

In a recent episode, Jung-woo showcases his medical skills when a PC bang (internet cafe) employee, Yoon Min-soo (박주연), comes to him with facial injuries after being accused of sexual assault. Despite the evidence seemingly pointing to Min-soo's guilt, Jung-woo deduces the height of the assailant based on the injuries and shares this crucial information with Detective Seo Kang-ho (이승우), helping to clear Min-soo's name. This moment, where Jung-woo steps beyond his cold demeanor to defend a patient, resonated deeply with viewers.

Another incident occurs when a delivery worker is involved in a violent altercation with a customer. Jung-woo's keen observational skills allow him to identify inconsistencies in the victim Woo Min-jae's (김민기) injuries, leading him to suspect foul play. He urges Detective Lee Min-hyung (한지현) to investigate further, showcasing his ability to piece together clues from the injuries alone.

In the sixth episode, Jung-woo takes a more active role by pursuing Min-jae, who is pretending to be a victim. He discovers a Bluetooth earpiece connected to accomplice Jo Soo-kyung (이서), preventing further harm. Jung-woo's genuine commitment to solving these cases adds intensity to the storyline, keeping audiences on the edge of their seats.

Lee Min-ki's portrayal of a character with a complex backstory and a warm heart offers a compelling narrative that leaves a lasting impression on viewers. The revelation that Jung-woo's ex-girlfriend was murdered by Lee Jin-seok (윤정일), who is revealed to be Min-hyung's brother, raises anticipation for future developments in the series.

'Face Me' airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 9:50 PM on KBS 2TV.
