Single-Shot Double Kill! A Bonafide Killer Smashes Ratings Barrier in Explosive Episode 6
MBC’s hit weekend action-comedy A Bonafide Killer has officially solidified its spot as the reigning king of Friday night television! Episode 6 smashed through double-digit viewership, pulling in a record-breaking 10.2% nationwide rating (9.8% in the metropolitan area) and peaking at a jaw-dropping 11.8%. The show also dominated key 20-to-54 demographic ratings across all channels, proving its absolute grip on prime-time audiences.
Near Misses and an Unlikely Hitwoman Coalition
The adrenaline-pumping episode picked up with secret assassin-turned-housewife Yoobona (played by Gong Hyo jin) narrowly avoiding exposure at the VIP casino. Trailed closely by her husband Kwon Tae sung (played by Jung Joon won)—who was independently investigating a high-level cover-up—Bona pulled her hat low and slipped past him into an elevator, leaving Tae sung unnerved by her familiar silhouette.
Bona managed to infiltrate the suite of target Tak Jong goo (played by Kim Min joon), a spoiled, abusive elite heir, and spike his drink. However, chaos erupted when a rival operational squad—consisting of Moon Da rae (played by Moon Seung yu), Moon Meo ru (played by Jo Yoon soo), and Bae Bi ji (played by Joo Yeon woo)—intervened.
After a tense physical showdown with Meo ru, Bona discovered that this local team had their own target: corrupt construction chairman Cheon Seong gil (played by Kim Jong goo), a man guilty of extortion and hiring hitmen to cover up his crimes. Realizing their goals aligned, Team 3 and the local squad combined forces for a masterstroke operation.
The “One Shot, Two Kills” Cable Car Snipe
Executing their combined trap, Da rae lured Jong goo directly into Seong gil’s room. As the two villains engaged in a heated struggle, Bona positioned herself inside a moving cable car across from the building, sniper rifle locked and loaded. Waiting patiently for the exact moment their heads lined up in her sights, Bona pulled the trigger—eliminating both corrupt targets with a single, spectacular bullet. With her signature ice-cold delivery, she simply declared, “Meeting adjourned for Clients 1 and 2,” before disappearing into the night.
Heartbreak, History, and a Blood-Stained Origin Story
While the hit was a complete success, the aftermath left Tae sung reeling in shock. Flashbacks revealed Tae sung’s dark past with Jong goo: five years prior, after watching the unrepentant criminal walk free on a technicality and bribe his lawyers, a devastated Tae sung broke down in tears to his then-girlfriend Bona, lamenting that bad people never receive justice.
The episode closed with an intriguing peek into Bona’s private memory bank. While agreeing over the phone to a normal date night with Tae sung, the scene flashed back to their true first encounter—showing a young Bona in Red Devils gear discovering a bloody, collapsed Tae sung. What hidden secret ties their past together?
Don’t miss out as the mystery unravels! A Bonafide Killer returns with Episode 7 on Friday at 9:50 PM KST on MBC.
