“The Perfect Lie” Yoo Yeon-seok has finally been cleared of the rape accusation.
On Oct. 31, the second episode of the MBC Friday-Saturday drama ‘The Perfect Lie’ depicted Yoo Yeon-seok (playing Min Jun-ho) and Seo Hyunjin (playing Kang Ji-seon) sharply clashing over the rape case.
Regarding the sex crime, Min Jun-ho (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) and Kang Ji-seon (played by Seo Hyunjin) asserted starkly different positions. Min Jun-ho firmly answered no when asked whether he raped Kang Ji-seon. He said, “We sat on the sofa, drank wine and talked more, and then Ms. Kang took me to a room,” he said, sounding frustrated.
Min Jun-ho said it was a situation that developed naturally while they were kissing. He added, “She didn’t push me away or resist. She didn’t say not to,” he explained. However, Kang Ji-seon cried and said, “I told him to stop. I really didn’t want it.”
Later, police came to Kang Ji-seon’s house. Kang Ji-seon, furious at the observation that neither Min Jun-ho nor Kang Ji-seon had any notable external injuries, shouted, “How much bigger a wound do you want?” When repeatedly questioned, Kang Ji-seon answered, “I was in shock and couldn’t move. I don’t know since when, but I have no memory.”
Min Jun-ho, released without charges, went to Kang Ji-seon’s house in frustration. But Kang Ji-seon, her hands trembling, shouted for him to go. Min Jun-ho revealed his sincerity, saying, “I liked you from the beginning. From the day we met by chance, I wanted to see you seriously. I felt like we connected — didn’t you, Ms. Ji-seon?”
Min Jun-ho added, “That night felt very natural. It was one of the best nights for me in years.” Kang Ji-seon screamed, “I trusted you. I wanted to love. Not to be a victim of a crime.” Min Jun-ho continued to insist it was a misunderstanding. As Min Jun-ho moved, Kang Ji-seon screamed for him not to come and ran away.
Later, Kang Ji-seon learned that Min Jun-ho’s wife had died from a drug overdose. While Kang Ji-seon suspected that Min Jun-ho might have slipped something into the wine she drank, she thought it would be dangerous to link Min Jun-ho’s deceased wife with her own case.
Kang Ji-seon and Min Jun-ho ultimately underwent polygraph tests. Min Jun-ho tested truthful; Kang Ji-seon tested deceptive. Despite the transparent results, Kang Ji-seon could not accept them and argued that the outcome was completely reversed.
