Who is the Copycat Killer in 'The Devil'? Cliffhanger Ahead as Jeong Yi-shin and Cha Su-yeol's Alliance Intensifies
SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'The Devil: The Killer's Outing' is nearing its finale with only two episodes left, captivating audiences and reaching new heights in viewership.
The joint investigation between serial killer mother Jeong Yi-shin (played by Ko Hyun-jung) and her detective son Cha Su-yeol (played by Jang Dong-yoon) is accelerating towards its climax. As the true culprit behind the 'Devil' copycat murders begins to emerge, speculation among viewers is running wild.
Initially, police had identified Seo Gu-wan (Lee Tae-goo) and Park Min-jae (Lee Chang-min) as prime suspects. However, both met unfortunate ends – Seo Gu-wan in a hit-and-run and Park Min-jae after luring a suspicious figure known as 'Joy' to aid Cha Su-yeol. Police now suspect 'Joy' to be Kang Yeon-joong, a child who was abused by one of Jeong Yi-shin's past victims, and who may have undergone gender reassignment surgery.
The first suspect is Cha Su-yeol's wife, Lee Jeong-yeon (Kim Bo-ra). She has displayed an uncanny knowledge of both Cha Su-yeol and his mother, Jeong Yi-shin, hinting at a deeper involvement.
Secondly, Jeong Yi-shin herself is under scrutiny. After reuniting with her son after 23 years, her actions remain ambiguous; it's unclear whether she genuinely intends to help him or is pursuing a separate agenda. Questions linger if she orchestrated the copycat murders, mirroring her own past crimes, as a means to regain her freedom.
The third suspect is Choi Jung-ho (Jo Sung-ha). He apprehended Jeong Yi-shin 23 years ago and, at her request, watched over Cha Su-yeol's upbringing, even guiding him to become a police officer. His intimate knowledge of the mother-son relationship makes him a significant figure in unraveling the truth.
With the mystery of the 'Devil' copycat killer reaching a fever pitch, the final two episodes are highly anticipated. Episode 7 of 'The Devil: The Killer's Outing' airs this Friday, the 26th, at 9:50 PM on SBS.
Ko Hyun-jung portrays Jeong Yi-shin, a notorious serial killer known as 'The Devil' from her past. She reunites with her son, Cha Su-yeol, after 23 years, leading to a complex and tense relationship. Her actions often raise questions about her true intentions, adding significant suspense to the narrative.
