In “Perfect Family” episodes 5 and 6, the tension escalates as the truth about Seon Hui’s family slowly unravels. Since no one is willing to tell Seon Hui the complete truth about the secrets, she is confused and afraid. Seon Hui hears one story from Eun Ju about the man in the photo and Gyeong-Ho’s death, while Hyeon Min offers more eerie details about Seon Hui’s parents.
The only person Seon Hui can rely on is Hyeon-U, who seems to be late to the scene every time Seon Hui calls for help. Amidst all this, Seon Hui has escaped death twice already and is unsure who is after her. Is it Jin-Heyok, Eun Ju, or Su Yeon? Towards the end, Jin-Hyeok is arrested, breaking the façade of the perfect family.

Perfect Family Episode 5 Recap:
The episode begins with Seon Hui running outside the school to find Su Yeon. A black van speeds up towards Seon Hui as Seon Hui runs around. Seeing the van, Hyeon-U pushes Seon Hui and saves her life. Now Hyeon-U is in the hospital as he has some scratches. Hurriedly, Jin-Hyeok and Eun Ju arrive at the hospital. At that time, Hyeon-U notices Jin-Hyeok clenching his fists, angry with something.
Everything seems normal in Seon Hui’s house the following day until the two detectives arrive. The detectives questioned Jin-Hyeok about a black van he rented a few days ago. The van is now found at the bottom of the stream. However, Jin-Hyeok does not deny renting the vehicle but asks the detectives to meet him at his office the next day for an explanation. Later, Jin-hyeok gets a call from his mother, who informs him of Seon Hui’s visit.
What happens when Seon Hui confronts her parents?
In anger, Jin-Hyeok pulls apart Seon Hui’s room, looking for the family picture. After Seon Hui tells Jin-Hyeok where the image is, she asks Jin-Hyeok some questions. Firstly, Seon Hui wants to know who the man in the family picture is and what happened to him. Second, why were Su Yeon’s belongings in Jin-Hyeok’s car? Thirdly, what happened when Eun Ju visited Gyeong-Ho’s house?
After asking the questions, Seon Hui tells Jin-Hyeok that she fears them. In reply, Jin-Hyeok says he is scared of Seon Hui and starts to blame her for something, but Eun Ju stops him. The next day, the detectives arrive at Jin-Hyeok’s firm and check the CCTV footage. Seeing the footage, they see the black van; however, Jin-hyeok has not left the building.
The question remains as to who was driving the black van. Seeking answers, Seon Hui calls Hyeon Min, who immediately asks to meet Seon Hui. Now, Hyeon Min has come clean, saying he is a cop. Hyeon Min lies to Seon Hui because Jin-Hyeok begs him to do so. Elsewhere, a man calls the cops because he thinks he sees a head in the river. When the cops arrive, they find Su Yeon’s belongings in the water.
What information do Hyeon Min and Eun Ju give Seon Hui?
Once Seon Hui comes home, her parents wait to give her some news. They have decided to send Seon Hui abroad to study. After Jin-Hyeok leaves, Eun Ju tells Seon Hui that the man in the photo is their son who died in a fire. Later, Eun Ju also says that he was still alive when she visited Gyeong-Ho’s house. When Eun Ju wanted to call the ambulance, Gyeong-Ho asked Eun Ju to leave. Furthermore, Gyeong-Ho also told Eun Ju that Seon Hui was not at fault. In a flashback, we see Hyeon Min tell Seon Hui that Jin-Hyeok used to be a prosecutor.
Now, Hyeon Min continues to answer Seon Hui’s questions. Thirteen years ago, there was a case called Gongseo-dong arson and kidnapping case, which caused panic among the public. Today, there isn’t a line about the incident, and the prime suspect then was Jin-Hyeok. The investigation ended abruptly. Even now, Hyeon Min thinks someone within the authority also has a role to play in the case. In the end, Hyeon Min reveals that he wants to catch Jin-Hyeok with his own hands.
This is because Hyeon Min has lost a child because of Jin-Hyeok. The only person who can protect Seon Hui now is Hyeon Min. Later, we see Jin-Hyeok watching the news about Su Yeon’s belongings found. The media and cops are speculating that it is a case of kidnapping. At the same time, Seon Hui searches for the Gongseo-dong case but cannot find anything. In the epilogue, Seon Hui gets a call from Hyeon Min, who asks Seon Hui to contact him if anything weird happens around her.
Perfect Family Episode 6 Recap:
The episode begins with Jin-Hyeok dreaming about his mother’s caretaker warning Jin-Hyeok to be careful about car accidents. Something that occurs three times in someone’s life is considered a curse. Seon Hui looks at Gongseo-dong’s case at home when Eun Ju knocks on the door. The computer is on, so Seon Hui makes an excuse to distract Eun Ju by turning off the computer.
However, Eun Ju sees what Seon Hui is doing through the window’s reflection. After a while, Hyeon-U arrives, but Eun Jun does not let him meet Seon Hui. Later, Seon Hui goes to the kitchen and finds peanut powder, which makes her feel afraid. Seon Hui has a peanut allergy, so she does not understand why that bottle is in the house.
What happens to Seon Hui?
As Seon Hui is going back to her room, Seon Hui hears her parents talking about killing something/someone. Afraid, Seon Hui runs to her room and cries. Meanwhile, Hyeon-U arrives at the police station to speak to the detectives. Now, Eun Ju cooks soup for Seon Hui. When Eun Ju tries to feed Seon Hui, Seon Hui pushes the food and runs away from the house.
At this time, Hyeon-U has spoken to the detectives about Su Yeon. The detectives say Su Yeon’s phone has been switched off from the day she disappeared. Now, Seon Hui hides in an alley as it starts raining. Afraid, Seon Hui calls Hyeon-U to help her. As Seon Hui waits for Hyeon-U, Seon Hui sees a shadow and runs towards the road. At the signal, someone pushes Seon Hui, and she gets hit by a car.
In a convenience store, Hyeon-U hears an ambulance and looks out. There, Hyeon-U finds an odd person and tries to chase them. However, Hyeon-U loses them, and Jin-Hyeok appears out of nowhere near Hyeon-U. At this moment, Jin-Hyeok gets a call that Seon Hui is in the hospital. The doctors inform Jin-Hyeok and Eun Ju that Seon Hui is temporarily unconscious. The police meet with Jin-Hyeok, showing him a dash cam video where it seems Seon Hui is pushed to the road. At the same time, Seon Hui is dreaming that Eun Ju is trying to choke her.
Perfect Family Episode 6 Ending Explained:
Why do cops suspect Jin-Hyeok?
After a while, Seon Hui wakes up again. Seeing Hyeon-U there, Seon Hui asks him to save her from her parents as she believes they are trying to kill Seon Hui. The detectives present run to Seon Hui, asking her to elaborate, but Seon Hui falls asleep. Detectives Dong Ho and Seong U make a plan to use an ex-convict to bump into Jin-Hyeok’s car. Now, Seon Hui has another nightmare. In this nightmare, Su Yeon admits to putting Seon Hui’s life in danger. When Seon Hui wakes up, she is kind to her mother and apologizes for saying absurd things the previous day. When Eun Ju leaves, Seon Hui calls Hyeon Min, asking him to save her.
At that moment, Hyeon Min is watching dash cam footage of the day Su Yeon is kidnapped, where Su Yeon is running away from the car. Outside, Hyeon-U calls Su Yeon and asks if she is the one who harmed Seon Hui. The detective’s plan is successful as they find blood stains in Jin-Hyeok’s car. The doctors have cleared Seon Hui to leave the hospital. Before leaving, Jin-Hyeok asks Seon Hui why she thought they were going to kill her. Once they reach home, police arrive and arrest Jin-Hyeok for kidnapping Su Yeon and as a suspect in Su Yeon’s murder. In the epilogue, we see Jin-Hyeok and Eun Ju as loving parents to a young Seon Hui.
In the last two episodes, we see Seon Hui get clarity about the dangerous people her parents are. However, the story seems to have many more twists and suspects. Initially, it seems Hyeon Min is genuinely looking out for Seon Hui, but he has lost a child because of Jin-Hyeok. The next issue is why Hyeon Min has the dashcam footage of Su Yeon escaping when the lead detectives have no idea. Could he be somehow related to Su Yeon or using Seon Hui to get revenge on Jin-Hyeok?
It could also be that Hyeon Min is genuine, but some loopholes must be answered. Towards the end, we see Hyeon-U talking to Su Yeon. This looks suspicious because it was initially odd for Hyeon-U to chase behind someone when he didn’t know something had happened to Seon Hui. Why does Hyeon-U have Su Yeon’s number? The only explanation is that Seon Hui had sent the number from which she received a message from Su Yeon before the accident. With Jin-Hyeok’s arrest, it almost feels like Seon Hui’s life is in grave danger. We hope to find answers in the following episodes.
