"Possessed" Ryu's descent into evil vs. Dosik, the epitome of evil

- Kim Kwang-kyu's special cameo as a killer

In MBC's summer special miniseries "Possessed" ("HON - Soul", script by Ko Eun-nim, In Eun-ah & directed by Kim Sang-ho-I, Kang Dae-seon), the criminal profiler Shin Ryu (Lee Seojin) and the drama's personification of pure evil Baek Dosik (Kim Kap-soo) meet fatefully yet again.

The electrifying tension between the two characters was already seen last Wednesday in episode 3 when they met in a bathroom full of mirrors after the serial killer Seo Junhui was acquitted of his crimes. This scene had foreshadowed the upcoming bitter war between the two men. The animosity between the two men began 17 years ago when Baek Dosik, the defense attorney with the 100% success rate, defended and acquitted Yun Oh (Choo Hun-yub). Yun Oh was one of the many killers responsible for killing Ryu's sister Soyi (Jeon Bo-ram).

The two men meet again in the upcoming episode 6 (airing Thursday, the 20th) after Dosik's son Jongchan (Yoo Yeon-seok) gets into an accident. The tension in this scene is kicked up a notch from the previous meeting. Rumors have it that everyone on set watched with abated breath as the two men met in front of Gogh's self-portrait and exchanged piercing looks. Kim Kap-soo says that he was very surprised after hearing opinions that he is very scary as Dosik. He jokes with a smile, "I'm an evil person in the drama, but I'm not in real life. Please don't misunderstand".

Dosik realizes who Ryu is and plots to get rid of him. Ryu takes advantage of Hana's (Lim Ju-eun) supernatural powers to fight evil but slowly descends into evil himself. The bitter war between these two men will continue with its high level of tension. The assassin hired to kill Ryu will be played by Kim Kwang-kyu, who knows director Kim Sang-ho-I due to working on "Fantastic Couple" together. His cameo appearance began in episode 5 as he began to tail Ryu.
