SBS’s new drama, Connection, is a thrilling crime investigation series that delves into the mysterious death of Park Joon Seo (played by Yoon Na Moo). With an insurance payout of 5 billion won at stake, Jang Jae Kyeong (Ji Sung), a drug detective, begins to investigate his high school friend’s death. The investigation unveils several peculiarities that make this case anything but straightforward.
Suspicious Circumstances Around the Death
Park Joon Seo’s body was found at a construction site by two workers, with injuries indicating a fall from the 9th floor. Despite initial suspicions of suicide, discrepancies in the evidence suggest foul play. Jang Jae Kyeong finds that the footprints at the scene do not match Park Joon Seo’s shoes, and the elevator was still on the 1st floor, contrary to what would be expected if he had jumped. These clues lead Jang to suspect that his friend was pushed.
Questionable Autopsy Decisions
Adding to the mystery, the prosecutor handling the case, Park Tae Jin (Kwon Yool), abruptly decided not to perform an autopsy on Park Joon Seo. Citing depression due to the loss of his daughter, the prosecutor concluded that Park took his own life. This decision puzzled Jang Jae Kyeong, as it seemed to gloss over significant evidence.
Intriguing Connection and a Mysterious Will
Before his death, Park Joon Seo contacted several friends, including some from high school. A curious element of the case is Park’s conversation with Oh Yoon Jin (Jeon Mi Do) shortly before his death, and a cryptic reference to an SOS code known only to him and Jang Jae Kyeong. Furthermore, Park’s visit to Jang’s house to apologize and his hasty departure after receiving a mysterious message add to the enigma.
Park Joon Seo also made substantial life insurance arrangements just before his death, naming his friends Jang Jae Kyeong and Oh Yoon Jin as beneficiaries. This move, combined with the exclusion of his wife from the will, raises more questions about his intentions and the true nature of his demise.
My Take on the Mystery
As a fan of thrilling crime dramas, Connection has certainly piqued my interest. The layers of mystery surrounding Park Joon Seo’s death and the complex web of relationships make for an engaging plot. The oddities in the case, from the questionable autopsy decisions to the significant life insurance policies, suggest a deeper conspiracy at play. I find myself rooting for Jang Jae Kyeong, hoping he uncovers the truth amidst the intrigue. The drama does a fantastic job of keeping viewers on edge, eagerly anticipating the next twist in this captivating story.
