by missvictrix

https://d263ao8qih4miy.cloudfront.net/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/PW_04272022.jpg

 

This week’s premieres take a thrilling and bloody turn, one in a comedic direction, and the other quite a bit more literal. Both shows are a genre change from all the slice-of-life and melancholy we’ve got going right now, so who’s ready?

 

The Killer’s Shopping List

 

Time slot: Wednesday-Thursday
Broadcaster: tvN
Genre: Thriller, mystery, comedy

Episode count: 8

 

Reasons to watch: Lee Kwang-soo back in dramaland in a role that seems written for him!? That’s all the reasons to watch right there. The Killer’s Shopping List lays out a great premise: a left behind shopping receipt at a local mart is the only clue to solve a crime, and it’s the job of our underdog hero to figure it all out. Well, with the help of his mother (Jin Hee-kyung), and police officer girlfriend (Seolhyun). If the drama can keep the quirky aesthetics and humor of their promos, this could be a great little eight-episode drama.

Lee Kwang Soo Grows More And More Suspicious Of Park Ji Bin In “The Killer’s Shopping List”

tvN’s “The Killer’s Shopping List” shared new stills previewing the upcoming episode!

Based on the novel of the same name by Kang Ji Young, “The Killer’s Shopping List” is a comedy-mystery thriller about an ordinary neighborhood on the outskirts of Seoul. When a mysterious body is found in the vicinity of an apartment building, a supermarket receipt becomes a key piece of evidence that kicks off an entertaining hunt for the killer.

Lee Kwang Soo stars as Ahn Dae Sung who was once considered a genius with impressive memorization skills, and AOA’s Seolhyun stars as Ahn Dae Sung’s girlfriend Do Ah Hee, a passionate police officer who has only had eyes for him from a very young age.

Spoilers

In the previous episode, Ahn Dae Sung tried to find a connection between the incorrectly delivered grocery items and the murder case, attempting to find the culprit by looking for a customer who bought the same items at his mother’s supermarket MS Mart. Near the end of the episode, Ahn Dae Sung shockingly discovered that Oh Cheon Won (Jang Won Young), a criminal he had caught for counterfeit money in the past, was pretending to be an elderly man with Alzheimer’s. Viewers are curious to find out if he could be the man behind the murder case.

The new stills depict Ahn Dae Sung struggling to find evidence of the murder case. In particular, he is suspicious of Saeng Sun (Park Ji Bin) who is in charge of the seafood corner at MS Mart. Ahn Dae Sung shoots Saeng Sun a suspicious gaze after discovering something on his shopping list.

 

 

Another photo captures the customers giving all their attention to Saeng Sun. Wearing eye-catching sunglasses, Saeng Sun charmingly calls the customers over to his corner. Despite concerns about him having three previous convictions, Saeng Sun will showcase exceptional skills at making sales, even with Ahn Dae Sung’s wary gaze on him.

 

More stills also reveal Ahn Dae Sung and Do Ah Hee secretly chasing after someone at night. Do Ah Hee shows a professional side as she quietly hides behind a building while keeping a close eye on the target, while Ahn Dae Sung does a not-so-perfect job at camouflaging with an inflatable balloon. Ahn Dae Sung hilariously raises his two arms up to follow the movements of the balloon in a clumsy way, but his gaze remains sharp and attentive. The two are chasing after someone who appears to be a young attractive woman with long hair, raising questions about Ahn Dae Sung and Do Ah Hee’s objective and whether their target could be related to the murder case.

Murderer's Shopping List' Mi-Hwa Kim, 'Kwang-Soo Lee X Seol-Hyeon Kim' Radar Network Captured

 

 

In the tvN Wednesday-Thursday drama 'The Murderer's Shopping List' (directed by Lee Eon-hee / Scriptwriter Han Ji-wan / Planning Studio Dragon / Produced by Beyond J), which was broadcast on the 5th, Kim Mi-hwa was portrayed in 'Communism', where she hid her ambitions in her excellent intelligence and unique wit. He played the role perfectly.

 

An apartment complex next to MS Mart where two murders occurred. Daesung (Lee Kwang-soo), Myeong-suk (Jin Hee-kyung), and Ah-hee (Kim Seol-hyun) thought that the culprit could be a mart customer or employee, considering that MS Mart items were always around the victim. One of the objects of suspicion was communism.

 

Gongsan had a long career in sales and knew the neighborhood's information and apartment geography. In particular, secret ambition was felt in his eyes when he left health food in real estate without other people's knowledge or when he said to an apartment security guard, "You can't talk to other people yet!"

Park Ji-bin, who plays `Fish`, an employee in charge of MS Mart's fish section in the tvN Wednesday-Thursday drama 'The Murderer's Shopping List', is emerging as a topic of discussion.

After her broadcast on the 4th, her agency Kurz Nine Entertainment released a behind-the-scenes cut of Park Ji-bin's 3rd episode of a woman's disguise, which surprised everyone .

Park Ji-bin's appearance in the pictures, which is gorgeous and not burdensome, but rather beautiful, once again sparked interest in his makeover. Then, attention was focused on the unexpected person who became Park Ji-bin's assistant behind the scenes. This is the beauty creator, Lisa Bae.

 

Park Ji-bin said, "I waited eagerly for the woman's disguise scene to be released.

Watch: AOA’s Seolhyun Can’t Stop Laughing At Lee Kwang Soo’s Prop Mishap Behind The Scenes Of “The Killer’s Shopping List”

TV/Film

May 8, 2022

by S. P

 

The cast are all smiles behind the scenes of tvN’s “The Killer’s Shopping List”!

Based on the novel of the same name by Kang Ji Young, “The Killer’s Shopping List” is a comedy-mystery thriller about an ordinary neighborhood on the outskirts of Seoul. When a mysterious body is found in the vicinity of an apartment building, a supermarket receipt becomes a key piece of evidence that kicks off an entertaining hunt for the killer.

Lee Kwang Soo stars as Ahn Dae Sung who was once considered a genius with impressive memorization skills, and AOA’s Seolhyun stars as Ahn Dae Sung’s girlfriend Do Ah Hee, a passionate police officer who has only had eyes for him from a very young age.

The making-of video gives viewers a glance behind the scenes of episodes 3 and 4, beginning with a hilarious bubble gun mishap. Lee Kwang Soo attempts to shoot a blue bubble gun as he protects Seolhyun from the culprit, but drops the prop during his first attempt. During a subsequent attempt, he then pulls it out of his pocket facing the wrong way and ends up shooting bubbles into his own face.

Seolhyun turns to the camera and says, “It was so hard to hold in my laughter,” as she pats her face to calm down. When the director mentions the blue light that shone on Lee Kwang Soo’s face, Seolhyun begins laughing again, clearly not tiring of the hilarious moment. Matters only end up worse after the next take, where Lee Kwang Soo raises the bubble gun and declares, “It broke!” Seolhyun is on the verge of tears from laughing as she says, “I think I’m going to laugh just looking at his face.”

 

Next, Lee Kwang Soo pours his heart and soul into his scenes at the site of the civil service exam as he falls out of his chair in a painfully realistic way. Later on, Park Ji Bin becomes the star of the neighborhood mart as he puts on his sunglasses in a hilariously cool way, proving how much he prepared for the scene. He delivers his marketing pitch for the fresh fish with practiced ease, later explaining to the camera, “These days there’s a lot of things that are posted as videos, so I work hard to search for those. I’m not sure how it’ll turn out, though.”

After night falls, Lee Kwang Soo and Seolhyun practice hide-and-seek, with Seolhyun pushing him away so that he falls and runs to hide behind a balloon man, mimicking its waving movements. Seolhyun watches the spectacle from off-camera, holding her hand in front of her mouth to keep from laughing out loud.

The cast of “The Killer’s Shopping List” recently shared their closing comments for the drama!

Based on the novel of the same name by Kang Ji Young, “The Killer’s Shopping List” is a comedy-mystery thriller about an ordinary neighborhood on the outskirts of Seoul. When a mysterious body is found in the vicinity of an apartment building, a supermarket receipt from MS Mart becomes a key piece of evidence that kicks off an entertaining hunt for the killer.

On May 19, “The Killer’s Shopping List” concluded with its highest ratings yet, with an average nationwide rating of 3.7 percent. Following the drama’s finale, lead cast members Lee Kwang Soo, AOA’s Seolhyun, Jin Hee Kyung, and Park Ji Bin shared their closing comments.

Lee Kwang Soo stars as Ahn Dae Sung, the son of a supermarket owner who was once considered a genius with impressive memorization skills. The actor commented, “I can’t believe it’s already the finale and I feel very regretful. I was happy all throughout filming and I don’t think I’ll be able to forget my memories of meeting such great people and working together at MS Mart. I want to convey my thankful heart to viewers who have shown love for ‘The Killer’s Shopping List’ up until now. I will greet you again with a good image.”

 

Seolhyun stars as Ahn Dae Sung’s girlfriend Do Ah Hee, a passionate police officer who has only had eyes for him from a very young age. She shared, “It feels like just yesterday that we began filming so I feel really regretful that it’s already the finale. On set, the director, my [acting] seniors, and the staff members were all on the same page so we filmed enjoyably and I think we were able to create a good project.”

Seolhyun continued, “To the point where even now, there are an endless number of anecdotes, this filming was so fun. I was happy thanks to Ah Hee, who is always courageous and lovable. Thank you for loving Ah Hee all this time.”

‘The Killer’s Shopping List’ episodes five and six recap: peeling back the layers of suspicion

 

**Spoilers for ‘The Killer’s Shopping List’ episodes five and six ahead**

 

 

A barefooted Seo Yul (Ahn Se-bin) gasps for air as she runs past the peripherals of the apartment complex. She takes refuge amid its recycling section, the cluster of recycling bags hiding her from sight, but winces slightly when she pulls down her shirt sleeves. Heading towards a concealed flower pot, Yul lifts up the bag covering it – only to find the pot empty.

After narrowly being discovered, Yul crawls out from behind the recycling bags and comes face to face with counterfeiter Cheon-won (Jang Won-young), who taunts the little girl by holding the phone by its strap and pulling it away from her reach. It turns out that she had hidden her mother’s flip phone in it earlier in the day, and he had unknowingly spotted her.

Just then, Cheon-won is belted with crushed recycled cans by Women’s Association chairwoman Yang-soon (Moon Hee-kyung), who also triggers the residents’ car alarms to alert them. As Myung-sook (Jin Hee-kyung) and Dae-sung (Lee Kwang-soo) rush into the complex, they find the residents already surrounding Cheon-won. Cheon-kyu also arrives to bring Yul home, before Dae-sung could ask Yul anything.

At MS Mart, Myung-sook and Dae-sung meet with A-hee (Kim Seol-hyun from AOA) and Officer Kim (Lee Yoon-hee) to discuss the probability of Cheon-won being the culprit. However, Dae-sung’s hunch says otherwise, as Cheon-won wouldn’t have let himself be seen with Yul if he’d taken her hostage. Moreover, Dae-sung adds, Yul was barefoot, “as if she had to run away urgently”. Officer Kim abruptly takes his leave and heads straight to Cheon-won’s apartment to search for Yul’s missing shoes (despite not having a warrant), and also to warn the ex-convict that he should “live like [he doesn’t] exist”, especially after he’d let him go way back when.

Back at the supermarket, Myung-sook receives a call from Cheon-kyu, informing them that his daughter is fine, and adds that Yul had not been a witness to any situation in particular. As for the shoes, he reckons that they could have been taken by bullies from another neighbourhood. Over at Cheon-kyu’s house, Yul wakes up with a startle after calling out for an “older sister”, but doesn’t let on too much when her father asks. Cheon-kyu gently advises Yul against interacting too much with the “supermarket guy”, and tells her to let him know especially if any older man who is especially nice to her “tries to see the skin under [her] clothes”.

 

The next day, Saeng-seon pulls Dae-sung into the freezer and asks if Jung-yook (Lee Kyo-yeob) is on the suspect list, thinking out loud as to whether it’s safe for him to walk Ya-chae (Oh Hye-won) as he’d offered. Saeng-seon thinks back to all the times she’d caught on to Jung-yook’s frustrated looks whenever Ya-chae mentions her husband, or when he sees her flirt with a male customer. Later, Dae-sung tests the waters with Jung-yook, suggesting that he comes along when the latter walks Ya-chae home, only to be brushed off by his long-time friend. Feeling unsettled, Dae-sung heads out to follow them.

Ya-chae appears visibly uneasy to be around Jung-yook, and gets especially nervous when he asks about accompanying her to the “third-floor entrance” – without ever telling him where she lives. Jung-yook tries to talk to her, but Ya-chae wrests her wrist from his grasp, and shakily tells him not to walk her home in future. In her apartment, Ya-chae panics when her door lock code is entered externally, and runs into her room to hide. The hooded intruder then attempts to enter her room by sliding a knife blade between the door and its frame. After pushing a chest of drawers against the door, a petrified Ya-chae shakily calls the emergency hotline.

Officer Kim and A-hee – who were contacted by Dae-sung – get to Ya-chae’s apartment to investigate the intrusion and to comfort the shaken woman. When asked about her husband’s whereabouts, Ya-chae says that he’s away on business in the Philippines. Dae-sung also tries to contact Jung-yook, who ignores the call while in his room. Surrounded by other dark-themed monochrome drawings plastered on his walls, Jung-yook furiously shades his drawing of a cross-legged figure hiding in the darkness – until the pencil lead snaps.

 

 

 

Another day begins for Dae-sung, who meets up with A-hee early in the morning for a quick catch up near the police substation. He returns to MS Mart to see Jung-yook looking dazed, and follows him out of the building to deter him from smoking. Unbeknownst to Dae-sung, a distraught Ya-chae had quit her job moments before, and Jung-yook was stopped by Myung-sook from trying to talk with her. Before heading back in, Jung-yook asks Dae-sung if he’d happened to see the sketchbook in his locker. Dae-sung says that he hasn’t seen it, though he recalls grabbing it to show Saeng-seon as his “alibi”, after rummaging through her locker.

Meanwhile, Yang-soon does her rounds at the apartment block, and once again spots the running electrical metre of a vacant apartment under Cheon-kyu’s purview. After heading in, she discovers an industrial-sized freezer in one of the rooms. Yang-soon opens it out of curiosity and her eyes widen in shock at what she sees – just as a gloved hand covers her mouth.

As Dae-sung prepares for Saeng-seon’s welcome party on the rooftop later that evening, Yul comes into the supermarket and slips her flip phone into the lost and found box. Myung-sook greets her and hands her a chocolate egg, and Yul, in turn, asks about Ya-chae’s absence. The older woman tells the little girl that Ya-chae’s taking a break as something scary had happened to her. “Does she think she’s safe outside of the apartment?” Yul wonders out loud.

Just then, Myung-sook’s husband Young-choon (Shin Sung-woo) rolls in a toy catcher machine, having been talked into purchasing it by the neighbouring stationery store owner. When asked if she wanted to add a toy into the catcher machine, Yul takes the opportunity to hide her flip phone in a little koala pouch, and places it among the other toys.

 

 

 

Up at the rooftop, Saeng-seon opens up to Dae-sung and A-hee about how she’d gotten her previous criminal record: her parents reported her to the authorities for theft, and also as a way to “fix” her after she had come out as being transgender. The mood lightens up gradually when A-hee asks Saeng-seon about the make-up products she uses, which Saeng-seon is more than happy to share. Just then, part timer Al-ba (Jo A-ram) appears at the rooftop with a bag of meat from Jung-yook, saying that he was not in the mood to join the party. Dae-sung tries to contact Jung-yook, but to no avail.

At the vacant apartment, a defiant yet terrified Yang-soon pleads for her life with her captor, who holds a glue gun towards her line of sight. She later manages to escape, with glue all over her face, frantically running down the corridor, Bumping into a wall, she gets cornered by her captor, who lifts her body over the ledge. Dae-sung, who had been tasked by Myung-sook to go on a late-night delivery run at that very apartment complex, receives a call from A-hee on his cell phone – just as Yang-soon’s body plunges to the ground with a thud.

While being accompanied home by Dae-sung after the welcome party, a tipsy A-hee follows the lead of an on-duty ambulance, where they both find out what happened to Yang-soon. Gong-san, who had found her body, gives her statement to the police officers at the scene. Just then, Detective Choi (Bae Myung-jin) is handed a glue gun found on the fourth floor. When he heads up to inspect the area, he finds out that Cheon-won lives just next door.

 

The next morning, Dae-sung awakes from a nightmare to see a glue gun in his face and Jung-yook in his room. Shocked, he kicks the glue gun away, which leaves a cut on Jung-yook’s chin. Feeling wronged, Jung-yook yells back that he was helping Dae-sung glue down the gaps on his door when he heard him screaming. After they’d both calmed down, Dae-sung finds out from Jung-yook that the latter was drinking alone near his apartment just the night before. Separately, Ya-chae continues to fend off Jung-yook’s frequent calls.

Detective Choi comes to MS Mart to elicit a ‘confession’ from Dae-sung with claims so ridiculous, no one could take him seriously. After being told that a ‘witness’ had come forward, Dae-sung heads to the police station to prove his innocence. This turns out to be Cheon-won, who digs a hole for himself by claiming that a glue gun “with his prints” is missing – when in actual fact, he appeared to be the one who left it at the ledge Yang-soon fell from. With this new information, Dae-sung is asked to leave, while Cheon-won continues to be kept behind for questioning.

Unable to reach Ya-chae, a nervous Jung-yook attempts to leave the supermarket early, but Myung-sook makes up a story about an urgent order to be fulfilled. As the butcher gets to work, Myung-sook pulls Saeng-seon aside and asks if she could secretly follow Jung-yook. Saeng-seon, in turn, dolls herself up to look the part, much to Myung-sook’s amazement and admiration.

Saeng-seon tails Jung-yook to Hanbom Apartments – where Ya-chae lives – but loses him as her heel gets stuck in a sewer cover. Just then, Ya-chae – who was unable to meet the person she’d arranged to meet at a “crowded place” – returns to the complex with her luggage in tow. In her apartment, she has a drink of water and heads into the bathroom, when she’s suddenly pulled in. At the same time, A-hee – informed by Myung-sook about the sting operation – hears a shriek after she pulls into the parking lot. She runs into the apartment block, with Saeng-seon following behind her.

 

Jung-yook, however, is already outside the apartment, and uses a tool to pry open the steel window bars. He climbs through the window and witnesses a man – later identified as Ya-chae’s ex-husband, Oh Myung-soo – dragging her by the hair into the kitchen and continuing to beat her. Jung-yook manages to free her and starts to beat the ex-husband up in a blind rage, before A-hee manages to intervene. Myung-soo is later arrested for stalking, assault and sexual violence; when asked by Saeng-seon if he was also involved in her friend Kyung-a’s murder, his alibi of only recently returning from the Philippines checks out.

On his way back to the supermarket, Dae-sung spots Gong-san dashing across the road, and decides to follow her. He eventually sees her beating up a cowering young man in an alleyway and leaving; the young man too hurriedly gets up to leave when Dae-sung approaches him. Dae-sung tails Gong-san all the way to Unhaeng Hospital, where Yang-soon has been warded after her harrowing brush with death.
