Amid misunderstandings and emotions intertwined with alcohol, Choi Soo-young and Gong Myoung have signaled the beginning of a complicated relationship.
The second episode of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama "Second Shot at Love" (written by Myung Soo-hyun and Jeon Ji-hyun / directed by Jang Yu-jeong and Jo Nam-hyeong / produced by Studio Dragon and House Pictures) aired yesterday (13th), starting with the disappearance incident of Han Geum-joo (played by Choi Soo-young) followed by Seo Ui-jae's (played by Gong Myoung) home visit, leading to subtle changes between the two.
This day's broadcast captured attention from the start with Han Geum-joo's disappearance incident. News was reported to the family worried about Han Geum-joo, who had not returned home the previous night, that Han Geum-joo's belongings had been found near the Bocheon Lake, causing the entire village to be stirred with shock and anxiety.
However, Han Geum-joo was at Seo Ui-jae's house, not Bocheon Lake. Seo Ui-jae took Han Geum-joo home after an accident occurred while trying to avoid Han Geum-joo, who was staggering in the middle of the road. Although the disappearance incident was resolved as a misunderstanding, Seo Ui-jae got injured in the leg due to the accident, making Han Geum-joo unexpectedly a major perpetrator who hurt "God of Bocheon."
Although she stepped up to make amends, it was a burdensome situation for Han Geum-joo, who is on leave. Thus, Han Geum-joo began to take on responsibilities by following Seo Ui-jae's home visit schedule and performing various tasks, and this unexpected companionship started to gradually bring the two closer.
Meanwhile, a post appeared in an online community targeting the initials "S. U. J." indicating that the person had left Seoul due to unfair treatment at work and the infidelity of their fiancé, resonating with Han Geum-joo's feelings. Han Geum-joo felt a sense of empathy seeing Seo Ui-jae, who appeared to overlap with her own situation, and tried to get closer. Seo Ui-jae also showed a notably softer reaction to Han Geum-joo than before, as if the distance between the two was gradually narrowing.
However, the person mentioned in the post was entirely different from Seo Ui-jae, and the atmosphere, which they tried to laugh off like a misunderstanding, quickly chilled. Realizing Han Geum-joo's misunderstanding, Seo Ui-jae drew a line by saying, "Even if that was true, it was not your place to intervene," and a slight crack appeared in his attitude as he distanced himself again.
Compounding the situation, the conflict between Han Geum-joo and Seo Ui-jae deepened further. Han Geum-joo, upon seeing a birthday notification for her ex-boyfriend Joo Yeob (played by Yoo Eui-tae), hurriedly headed to Seoul, entrusting Seo Ui-jae's home visit assistance to her friend Bong Seon-wook (played by Kang Hyun-seok). Although she was on her way to retrieve a cake that she had custom-made before the broken engagement to give to Joo Yeob, she ended up facing both Joo Yeob and his partner at that moment, suffering another emotional wound and using alcohol to soothe her feelings.
After finishing the home visit, Seo Ui-jae coincidentally encountered the drunk Han Geum-joo and, momentarily revealing his disappointment, said, "Whatever the circumstances were, it must have been a good opportunity to drink." Han Geum-joo could not hide her distress at facing yet another misunderstanding.
Meanwhile, questions surrounding Seo Ui-jae's past resurfaced. Seo Ui-jae's refrigerator, which he claimed to have stopped drinking, was filled with soju bottles, and a new, cryptic comment appeared in online communities stating, "Seo Ui-jae killed someone." Seo Ui-jae's frozen expression as he dropped a bottle added to the rising curiosity about the hidden story, serving as the ending of the second episode.
The third episode of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama "Second Shot at Love" will air on the upcoming 19th (Monday) at 8:50 p.m.
