The tension is hitting its peak in “The Defects”!
Based on a popular webtoon, “The Defects” is an action thriller about children who have been abandoned by their adoptive parents—and their fight for survival and revenge.
Spoilers
In the previous episode, the children were pushed to the brink of death by Jung Hyun ( Dex ). Kim Ah Hyun ( Won Jin Ah ) watched in horror as Seok Soo (Oh Seung Jun) died right before her eyes—an event that only deepened her burning resolve for vengeance. Meanwhile, Kim Se Hee’s ( Yum Jung Ah ) daughter, Kim Ah Hyun ( Kim Ji An ), made the bold decision to stand with the children, marking a major turning point in the story.
The newly released stills show the children who miraculously escaped the flames, raising questions about how they survived such a harrowing ordeal. The images capture Ah Hyun, Ju An ( Ahn Ji Ho ), So Mi ( Lee Naeun ), and Choi Si Woo (Kang Ji Yong) breaking down in tears over Seok Soo’s death.
Particularly striking is Ah Hyun’s expression: once unwavering in her vow to bring the children happiness through revenge, she now stares blankly into the distance, lost in turmoil. As doubt begins to take hold, viewers are left wondering—will she abandon her quest, or find the strength to strike back at Se Hee with renewed determination?
Even Jung Hyun, who had followed Se Hee’s every command without question, begins to show signs of change. His once-cold gaze falters the moment he comes face-to-face with Se Hee’s daughter. What choice will emerge from the emotions he’s long kept buried, and how will it reshape the battle ahead?
Find out in the next episode of “The Defects,” airing on August 11 at 10 p.m. KST.
