'The Road: The Tragedy of One' Finale Recap: The Huge Unspeakable Truth Has Been Revealed
In the 12th and final episode of the mystery suspense drama, the huge and unspeakable truth has been revealed.
In the finale, Seo Eun Soo (Yoon Se Ah) was eaten alive by her immense guilt after Choi Jun Yeong (Nam Ki Won), Seo Eun Soo's husband, Baek Soo Hyun (Ji Jin Hee), and his mistress Cha Seo Yeong's (Kim Hye Eun) child, passed away.
When Choi Jung Yeong witnessed Seo Jung Wook (Cho Seong Jun) and Choi Se Ra (Lee Seo) doing drugs at their party, he ran away due to shock. However, his life was put to waste when he was accidentally hit by Hwang Tae Seop's (Kim Roe Ha) car.
Choi Jung Yeong struggled but he did all his best to call his home, but fell down in the railing and died.
At the end of the drama, it was revealed that Seo Eun Soo was the one who killed the poor child, and had accomplices who helped her cover up the crime.
Later, Baek Soo Hyun heard from detective Shin Seok Hoon (Kim Seong Soo) that his wife was brain-dead after an accident.
The tragic story of the elite people of South Korea, which sent viewers to the edge of their seats with a fast heart rate, closed its curtains with twelve episodes.
'The Road: The Tragedy of One' Ends With Unfaltering Low Ratings
tvN's mystery-suspense drama "The Road: The Tragedy of One" was based on Rintaro Norizuki's Japanese novel of the same name, which was well-known for its tragic ending that raised expectations on how the story would play out.
However, the South Korean drama was below expectations. Regardless of the main and supporting actors, their characters were rather ambiguous as if they were the real culprits, which blurred the story's focus.
Also, the male protagonist Baek Soo Hyun's story, who puts his job first before his family and dead son, as well as his ungodly affair with his co-workers did not fit the South Korean's sentiments and philosophies.
"The Road: The Tragedy of One" did not jive well with the viewers, recording an average of 3.099% and a nationwide rating of 2.856% during its final broadcast.
