Police officer Lee Hwa-yeong may be victim of Min Jun-ho's crimes

In the MBC drama 'Liar', police officer Lee Hwa-yeong may have become a victim of Min Jun-ho after GHB was detected in her blood following the discovery of physical injuries. The investigation into Min Jun-ho intensified after Lee Hwa-yeong identified his vehicle while tracing clues following her own sudden illness.

In the MBC Friday-Saturday drama 'Liar', it was revealed that Ok Ja-yeon, playing police officer Lee Hwa-yeong, may have become a victim herself while investigating the suspicious activities of Min Jun-ho (Yoo Yeon-seok). Tension escalated as GHB was detected in her body, accompanied by physical injuries that can occur during sexual intercourse, suggesting the officer investigating the crimes may have instead become a target of the perpetrator.

The episode aired on the 13th depicted Lee Hwa-yeong receiving unexpected test results while narrowing her investigation into Min Jun-ho. The events unfolding for Lee, who was suspecting Min's crimes, vividly demonstrated the dangers of the offenses he is suspected of committing.

Previously, Min Jun-ho engaged in chilling behavior, such as breaking into Lee Hwa-yeong's home to film her while she slept. On the day of the broadcast, he exited the house after repositioning Lee's sleeping posture to match a photo he had taken, a meticulous act of manipulating traces to prevent the victim from noticing his intrusion.

The following day, Lee Hwa-yeong woke up to a phone call from Kang Ji-seon (Seo Hyun-jin), who informed her that Min Jun-ho had committed crimes using the same methods against a friend of his deceased wife. The confirmation of another victim pushed the suspicions surrounding Min Jun-ho into a more serious phase.

Following the call, Lee Hwa-yeong struggled to maintain her composure. Suffering from extreme nausea, she headed to the bathroom, where she discovered blood flowing down her leg. Due to these physical symptoms that were difficult to dismiss as mere poor condition, she eventually visited a hospital.

At the hospital, Lee Hwa-yeong was told that there were no major issues with the fetus. However, medical staff noted abrasions found on various parts of her body. The doctor explained, "I see several abrasions. They seem to be the cause of the bleeding and pain," noting they were injuries that could occur during sexual intercourse. Upon hearing this, Lee Hwa-yeong expressed bewilderment, asking, "That can't be right?"

Lee Hwa-yeong began to doubt what had happened to her. Driven by an ominous premonition, she requested blood tests from the medical staff. Upon returning home, she took steps to secure clues, such as collecting hair found on the sofa as evidence and keeping the juice bottle she had drunk before sleeping. Her suspicion that her experience might not be a coincidence or a simple accident led to concrete investigative actions.

A decisive clue emerged while tracing the owner of a suspicious vehicle, which was identified as Min Jun-ho. The fact that the person who broke into Lee Hwa-yeong's home was Min Jun-ho once again surfaced, deepening the suspicions surrounding him. The tension rose as Lee Hwa-yeong, both a police officer and a potential victim, attempted to secure evidence herself.

Subsequently, Lee Hwa-yeong received test results from the forensic department of the National Forensic Service. The results showed that GHB had been detected in her blood. GHB, known as "water drug," is a substance that has caused serious social alarm due to its misuse in sex crimes. The detection of this drug in Lee Hwa-yeong's body raised the possibility that she had become another victim of Min Jun-ho's crimes.

Since Kang Ji-seon had also claimed to be a victim of sex crimes committed by Min Jun-ho using GHB, the similar circumstances appearing in both women amplified suspicions regarding his criminal methods. While the detection of the drug does not definitively confirm the occurrence of a sex crime, attention is focused on the reality of what happened to Lee Hwa-yeong.

'Liar' faced another shocking development as Lee Hwa-yeong, who set out to uncover Min Jun-ho's crimes, found herself at the center of the case. Viewers are left wondering what truth will emerge from the series of clues—the drugs, the injuries, and the connection to Min Jun-ho's vehicle—left for the officer chasing the evidence.
