[Sports Today reporter Jeong Ye-won] In tvN’s weekend drama How to Become a Building Owner in Korea, Ha Jung-woo and Im Soo-jung reluctantly team up to contain the fallout from a violent accident.

Episode 5 of the series (airing on the 28th) finds Ki Su-jong (Ha Jung-woo) and Kim Sun (Im Soo-jung) scrambling to manage the aftermath after Ki stabs Oh Dong-gi (Hyun Bong-sik) in the Seyun Building restroom. The hour teases a darkly comic rhythm in the couple’s collaboration.

In released footage, Ki and Kim haul Oh down to an underground freezer and argue over how to handle him. The wounded man lies wrapped in a banner, and the discovery of another secret hidden in the freezer injects fresh tension.

Throughout the crisis, Kim remains composed and methodical, tackling problems with a cool efficiency. Ki, by contrast, is visibly rattled — stunned by the unexpected turn of events and unsettled by a side of his wife he’s never seen. He’s also still reeling from a cheating video of Kim he watched before the incident.

Their bickering amid the chaos produces nervous laughs. Kim calmly takes charge while Ki, grumbling, follows her lead, trusting her instincts. The preview suggests a pair that, despite themselves, fuse into an effective team under pressure — a dynamic likely to keep viewers hooked.

Above all, the crucial question is how much Oh Dong-gi knows. He was injured while grabbing a bundle of cash — evidence tied to a kidnapping — that he had hidden in the restroom. Audiences will be watching to see what Hyun Bong-sik’s character uncovered and how Ki and Kim will respond.

Episode 5, which highlights the couple’s uneasy cooperation, airs on the 28th at 9:10 p.m.
