Lee Joon Gi faces a father’s dilemma in “kiDnap GAME”: saving a daughter against a doctor’s duty
Stills released October 26 place Han Ki Joo in a hospital and on nighttime streets. Episode 4 is scheduled for October 27 at 10pm KST, 9pm Taipei. Previously aired character background and preview spoilers follow.
Would saving his daughter require hurting someone else? Stills released October 26 for “kiDnap GAME” put Lee Joon Gi’s doctor Han Ki Joo at that crossroads. Assigned a murder mission, he faces a collision between a profession devoted to saving lives and the urgency of protecting his family. The images stop before a final choice is revealed.
Episode 4 is scheduled for Tuesday, October 27 at 10pm KST on Channel A, the same instant as 9pm in Taipei and Hong Kong and 8pm in Thailand. The following includes previously aired father-and-daughter background and preview details. The stills were released the previous day, not first unveiled on October 27, and do not establish a completed killing.
A seven-city game puts loved ones behind every assignment
The drama begins with a kidnapping case spanning Seoul, Tokyo, Taipei, Singapore, Bangkok, Naha and Manila. Seven individuals receive different missions and are forced into a survival game, driven by the need to rescue loved ones and remain alive. These cities belong to the story’s setting; they do not establish where each photograph was filmed.
For Han, the assignment is more than pursuit of a target. His positions as father and doctor pull in conflicting directions. That conflict supplies the preview’s tension, but does not prove that any particular decision will secure his daughter’s safety or that the mission has already determined the ending.
Hospital light and night streets contrast with an everyday family scene
One image shows Han holding a medicine bottle and pausing in a dim hospital; another gives a close view of him wearing glasses on a nighttime street. The bottle is a visible prop. The released information does not explain its eventual use, so the image cannot establish a method or show that he has acted.

A brighter scene places him beside his daughter Han Ri An, played by Choi So Yul, on a sofa as she holds a cup. Alongside the cool night images, this domestic moment makes his family motivation more tangible. Its warmer colour palette alone does not prove that a rescue has succeeded at this point in the story.

Guilt and a countdown approach, with the decision still ahead
In the established story, Han carries guilt after his daughter lost her sight following brain-tumour surgery and blames his own negligence for her kidnapping. This is a character’s self-blame within fiction, not a finding of responsibility in a real medical case. The mission turns that burden into a question of how he responds to his beliefs under extreme pressure.
The preview places the game seven days from its end, with five participants still alive. Those figures describe the situation ahead of the episode, not the season’s final outcome. Whether Han carries out the mission and how others change events remain for the broadcast. Converting the Korean TV time also does not confirm simultaneous streaming in Taiwan, Hong Kong or Thailand.
