Oct 12, 2023

“The Killing Vote” has shared new stills from its upcoming episode!

Based on a popular webtoon, “The Killing Vote” asks the question “What is your idea of justice?” and delves into the concept of a nationwide death penalty vote against vicious criminals who deftly manage to escape the law’s blind spots. The drama highlights the story of a mysterious figure known as “Gae Tal” (dog mask), who executes the death penalty depending on the results of a vote, and the police who are pursuing them.

Park Hae Jin plays Kim Moo Chan, the head of Team 1 of the regional investigation unit at the Southern Provincial Police Agency. Lim Ji Yeon plays the role of Joo Hyun, a fifth-year lieutenant at the Cyber Security Bureau of the Seoul Metropolitan Police Agency. Park Sung Woong stars as Kwon Suk Joo, a long-term prison inmate who turned himself in after personally killing the culprit who sexually assaulted his eight-year-old daughter.

Spoilers

Previously in “The Killing Vote,” it was revealed that there was more than one person behind the death penalty vote. Lee Min Soo (Kim Kwon) was suspected of being the ringleader after he was identified as Kwon Suk Joo’s “No. 1” fan. It was also revealed that high school student Kim Ji Hoon (Seo Young Joo) was almost adopted by Kwon Suk Joo in the past.

The team investigating the national death penalty vote including Kwon Suk Joo and police officers Kim Moo Chan and Joo Hyun is focusing their investigations on Lee Min Soo and keeping a close eye on him. Also, Jung Jin Wook (Lee Wan), who executed the death penalty based on the results of the death penalty vote, was arrested.

With Lee Min Soo and Jung Jin Wook, the top two suspects in the case, under police investigation, it is expected that it will be hard for a fourth death penalty vote case to occur.

However, on October 10, the production team of “The Killing Vote” shared a sneak peek of the upcoming eighth episode, revealing that a fourth national death penalty case will occur even though Lee Min Soo and Jung Jin Wook are under police surveillance. They also revealed that the fourth national death penalty case is completely different from the first, second, and third national death penalty cases.

Following the production team’s spoilers, viewers are curious about how the fourth death penalty vote will occur while the police are investigating the top two suspects, Lee Min Soo and Jung Jin Wook, and wondering if this means that Lee Min Soo isn’t the “No. 1” fan and ringleader as earlier suspected. Viewers are also curious about who the target of the fourth national death penalty vote will be and if the police will be able to catch the real “dog mask.”

With all the three previous targets of the death penalty vote successful executed, it remains to be seen if the target of the fourth death penalty vote can be saved.
