The film Shins Project revolves around Mr. Shin Jae I ( Han Suk Kyu) - a former leading negotiator who runs a popular fried chicken shop.
Known as a neighborhood hero, Mr. Shin, along with Jo Philip (Bae Hyun Sung) - a serious rookie judge and Lee Si On (Lee Re) - a delivery driver, took the lead in mediating the conflict and helping people overcome difficult situations.
The film aired on September 15 and has continuously recorded positive growth in viewership ratings. However, in episodes 7 and 8, the drama's rating suddenly dropped sharply, recording the lowest rate of 5.5%. To improve the situation, the producer postponed the broadcast for 1 week with the purpose of " bringing the audience better broadcast content".
As expected, episode 9 of the show returning on the evening of October 20 has regained its form. According to Nielsen Korea, the episode's rating reached 8.4% - a sharp increase compared to the previous episode. This is also the second highest viewership rating of The Master of Conciliation after 8.7% - achieved in episode 5.
According to the film's developments, Jo Philip has been faster at handling mediation cases. Instead of applying the lawatically, he finds new directions for the victims.
For example, in the case of demanding salary back for Mo Sun Mi and the coaches in the gym, the young judge forced the gym director - Charles Hong (Choi Dae Hoon), consulting lawyer - Do Dong Seok (Hong Woo Jin) to rush to sign a certificate of salary payment for the staff.
Also in this episode, Mr. Shin discovers a connection between accident cases that police had to leave open many years ago and Yoon Dong Hee - the perpetrator of Jun's murder - his son.
During Yoon's annual search, Mr. Shin discovered that for every time Yoon's account had money, one more person would be killed. In addition, after Yoon escaped from the hospital, the doctor he called was the Director of the National Forensic Hospital. This is considered a suspicious relationship and may be related to the murder of Mr. Shin's son.
