ENA and Disney Plus premiered a new K-drama, Crash, this week. Episode 2 of this thriller drama aired on Tuesday, May 14, 2024, featuring Lee Min-Ki and Kwak Sun-Young in lead roles. The storyline revolves around a group of investigators in the Traffic Investigation Team (TCI) solving traffic-related crime cases.
In the previous episode, insurance investigative officer Cha Yeon-Ho (Lee Min-Ki) introduced a serial killer’s case to TCI’s Min So-Hee (Kwak Sun-Young). They worked together to catch the culprit who killed elderly people to claim insurance money. The episode ended with Yeon-Ho jumping in front of the killer’s car.
The culprit, Jung Hok-Yu, tries to kill his car dealer when Yeon-Ho appears in front of the vehicle. Hok-Yu attempts to further hurt him, but So-Hee and her team come to Yeon-Ho’s rescue. Despite their efforts, Hok-Yu doesn’t admit to his crimes. The investigation team does not have much time to solve the case. Will the culprit receive punishment? Only time will tell.

K-drama Crash episode 2 gives a glimpse of Yeon-Ho’s past incident. It appears he has witnessed the death of someone closer to him and, hence, struggles to move on from the trauma.
Coming back to his senses, Yeon-Ho faces Hok-Yu, who tries to kill him. So-Hee saves him and catches the culprit. However, things get complicated after Hok-Yu refuses to admit that he has killed the elderly people. Furthermore, Yeon-Ho learns that his superiors want him to drop the case. He realizes that they are involved in Hok-Yu’s insurance scam.
Meanwhile, So-Hee finds out that Hok-Yu made a few calls through random people’s phones and deleted the contact later. While So-Hee and her TCI team investigate further, Yeon-Ho arrives at the shop of the third victim’s son, Song Jiman. Yeon-Ho claims that he knows Hok-Yu, and the two planned all the murders.
Initially, Song Jiman rejects all the allegations but starts behaving strangely when Yeon-Ho mentions calling the police. On the other hand, So-Hee and her team figure out about Song Jiman and rush to his shop. Meanwhile, Jiman attacks Yeon-Ho and pours gasoline over him.
When he tries to use the lighter, a fight breaks out between Jiman and Yeon-Ho. Thankfully, the latter runs away from the scene when the fire ignites. Also, So-Hee arrives at the shop and gets hold of Jiman. Eventually, Jiman and Hok-Yu, along with Yeon-Ho’s superiors, are caught for insurance fraud and for causing four accidents.

One day, the TCI team deals with drunk drivers when they come across a man whose car has crashed near a tunnel. When they rescue him, he states that he lost balance after witnessing a ghost. So-Hee claims he is drunk while Yeon-Ho looks around for evidence.
The next evening, the team has dinner with the chief, who tries to bond with Yeon-Ho. On the way to the station, Yeon-Ho and So-Hee are in the same car and cross the same tunnel. They also witness a ghost and realize that the drunk man is telling the truth.
