Connection: What happened in episode 12?
With a strong plot, thrilling direction, and the actors' impassioned performances, SBS's drama Connection which airs every Friday and Saturday achieved an impressive milestone by ranking 1 among all channel mini-series for 12 straight episodes. It has been authored by Lee Hyun and directed by Kim Moon-kyo.
In episode 12 of Connection, pivotal developments unfolded as Jang Jae-kyung (Ji-sung) and Oh Yun-jin (Jeon Mi-do) decided not to arrest Jeong Sang-eui (Park Geun-rok) until they could find evidence linking him to Park Tae-jin, who managed the lemon mulberry business.
Meanwhile, when Jeong Yun-ho (played by Lee Kang-wook) attempted to harm Choi Ji-yeon (portrayed by Jeong Yu-min), Park Tae-jin and Won Jong-su (played by Kim Gyeong-nam) summoned Oh Chi-hyeon (played by Cha Yeop) to handle the situation. Oh Chi-hyeon was deeply affected when he ultimately had to confront and kill Jeong Yun-ho, who fought fiercely until the end.
Behind the scene preparation of the cast
As SBS released a few behind-the-scenes pictures, Ji-sung, Jeon Mi-do, Kwon Yul, Kim Kyung-nam, and Cha Yeop, the cast of the drama, gained attention for their dedication on set.
