[NEWS] ‘Bitter Sweet Hell’ Gunjoo Jung Revealed as Medical Student Impostor and Yeonwoo's Ally!

The true identity of Gunjoo Jung's character in ‘Bitter Sweet Hell’ has been unveiled.

In the 10th episode of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘Bitter Sweet Hell’ (planned by Kwon Seong-chang, directed by Lee Dong-hyun and Wi Deuk-gyu, written by Nam Ji-yeon, produced by Red Nine Pictures), which aired on the 22nd, it was revealed that Moon Tae-oh (played by Gunjoo Jung) was not only the ally of Lee Sena (played by Yeonwoo) but was also impersonating a Korean University student, shocking the viewers.

Jae-jin (played by Kim Nam-hee), who first met Tae-oh at the psychiatric clinic, discovered that Tae-oh had deliberately approached him knowing his secrets. Suspicious of Tae-oh's sudden change in behavior, Jae-jin confided everything that had happened to Yeong-won (played by Kim Hee-sun). Quick-witted Yeong-won started investigating Tae-oh, and upon meeting the real Korean University student Moon Tae-oh at the hospital where he volunteered, it was revealed that the Tae-oh they knew was an impostor, leaving everyone in shock.

However, Tae-oh's secrets did not end there. Jae-jin discovered that Tae-oh and Sena had grown up in the same orphanage and that his real name was ‘Oh Tae-hwan.’ Furthermore, it was revealed that Tae-oh and Yeong-won had a past connection as doctor and patient's family, respectively. This incident revealed that Sena, knowing Tae-oh harbored ill feelings towards Yeong-won, had recruited him as her ally, orchestrating the entire scheme, adding a chilling twist.

Convinced that Tae-oh was the culprit who attacked her mother-in-law Sa-gang (played by Kim Hye-young), Yeong-won sent a text pretending to be Do-hyun (played by Jae-chan) to lure him. Tae-oh, unsuspectingly going to meet Do-hyun, found himself face-to-face with Yeong-won, who knew his true identity, culminating in a tense cliffhanger that heightened anticipation for the next developments.

Gunjoo Jung delivered a powerful performance, vividly portraying Tae-oh's ‘strong to the weak, weak to the strong’ personality, leaving a strong impression on the viewers. He masterfully depicted Tae-oh's contrasting nature—showing vulnerability in front of the fierce and ruthless Sena, yet ruthlessly dominating over those he could manipulate, like Jae-jin. With all of Tae-oh’s secrets now out in the open, attention is focused on his next moves and the unfolding story with Yeong-won, as the series reaches its conclusion.

The final episodes of MBC's ‘Bitter Sweet Hell,’ featuring Gunjoo Jung, will air on Friday, the 21st, and Saturday, the 22nd at 9:50 PM KST.
