Who are the suspects in the “Chrysanthemum Murder” case?
Coupang Play’s new drama “One Ordinary Day” stars Kim Soo Hyun as an ordinary college student named Kim Hyun Soo who becomes a murder suspect overnight and Cha Seung Won as third-rate lawyer Shin Joong Han who reaches out to help him while never asking him the truth of what happened that night.
The production staff of “One Ordinary Day” recently shared some key points about the seven suspects in the case:
According to the drama’s production staff, the first suspect is Yoo Seung Hoon (Lee Soo Kwang), the first witness who claims he saw Kim Hyun Soo enter Hong Guk Hwa (Hwang Se On)’s house. Kim Hyun Soo hit Yoo Seung Hoon’s car outside of Hong Guk Hwa’s house, and even though it was Kim Hyun Soo’s fault, Yoo Seung Hoon acted suspicious by telling him to just leave and wanting to resolve the situation as fast as possible. In addition, he was loitering around Hong Guk Hwa’s house the next night at dawn and picked out Kim Hyun Soo right away in front of Park Sang Bum (Kim Hong Pa).
Another suspect is Ha Noh Suk (Park Bong Seo), the informant who alerted the police about a housebreaking incident. Kim Hyun Soo was in the police car after failing a breathalyzer test, but after Ha Noh Suk’s call, he was caught up again in the incident around Hong Guk Hwa’s house and taken to the police station. The police misunderstood Ha Noh Suk’s call at first, but Ha Noh Suk clearly stated that the man who had come out of Hong Guk Hwa’s house had driven off in his own taxi, placing suspicion squarely on Kim Hyun Soo.
A strange man with an unreadable face, Jo Kang Pil (Shin Woo Cheol), who was the victim Hong Guk Hwa’s stepfather, is also a strong suspect in the case. Even when Hong Guk Hwa’s body was being cremated, Jo Kang Pil showed no reaction in his facial expression, suggesting that they hadn’t been that close. However, he continues to attend Kim Hyun Soo’s trial and shows interest in how the case is progressing.
Hong Guk Hwa’s roommate, Yoon Ho Jung (Na Eun Saem), drew attention to herself by crying excessively at Hong Guk Hwa’s cremation. However, she doesn’t have an alibi, which puts her on the list of suspects. She secretly watched the on-site inspection with an anxious attitude. Lawyer Shin Joong Han discovered that just before the murder, Yoon Ho Jung had a huge fight with Hong Guk Hwa and abruptly cut off contact with her, leaving all her stuff behind.
Yoon Ho Jung’s ex-boyfriend, Uhm Ki Jong (Lee Pung Woon), also distributed medicine to Hong Guk Hwa, and was the last person to be in contact with her before she died. However, the reason for the call was not revealed, making viewers curious about the contents of this conversation. He gets angry and is spotted making a suspicious call to Yoon Ho Jung when Shin Joong Han says that someone had reported Uhm Ki Jong for distributing drugs.
Lee Chul Ho (Hwang Sang Kyung) is a delivery man who was caught on CCTV while tracing Kim Hyun Soo’s steps that night. In the CCTV footage, Lee Chul Ho stares intensely at Hong Guk Hwa at the gas station while she’s smoking a cigarette. When Shin Joong Han wants him to testify as a witness, he gets dangerous and flies off the handle.
From the moment he was arrested, Kim Hyun Soo insisted that he was innocent, and even showed tears at the injustice of his arrest. During the on-site inspection, Kim Hyun Soo has a vivid vision of himself with a knife, although it is unclear whether it’s just his imagination or a memory, and passes out afterward. At first, he insisted that he had not killed Hong Guk Hwa, but he suddenly changes his answer to “I don’t know.”
The production staff stated, “We are grateful that viewers have been sharing their suspicions and guesses while watching ‘One Ordinary Day.’ Please tune in to the remaining two episodes to see if the person you suspect turns out to be the killer, or whether it’s someone else. It’s more fun to watch if you do the detective work along with the cast in the drama.”
