The pieces of hidden emotions between Choi Su-young and Gong Myoung began to reveal themselves one by one.
Yesterday (19th), in the third episode of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Second Shot at Love' (written by Myung Soo-hyun and Jeon Ji-hyun / directed by Jang Yu-jung and Jo Nam-hyung / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by How Pictures), the hidden emotions between Han Geum-joo (Choi Su-young) and Seo Ui-jun (Gong Myoung) collided, showcasing the moment where Han Geum-joo crumbled after facing an unexpected truth.

In that broadcast, Han Geum-joo proposed a test drive of the vehicle she maintained and headed to Seoul with Seo Ui-jun. After stopping by a department store, Han Geum-joo chose gifts for acquaintances and expressed her gratitude by treating Seo Ui-jun to a meal as he declined to accept the gift.
However, not long ago, Han Geum-joo had claimed to have no money and chose to accompany Seo Ui-jun on a house call. With her suddenly showing signs of ample expenditure, Seo Ui-jun grew suspicious, and Han Geum-joo boasted cheerfully about receiving a refund on the deposit from the wedding hall where she canceled her wedding.
But Seo Ui-jun's reaction was unexpected. Upon hearing the news of the refund, he became expressionless and questioned, "Don't you have any consideration for those who've been hurt?" He then added, "I cannot cooperate with you flaunting that money" as he stood up, creating a tense atmosphere.
Behind Seo Ui-jun's reaction lay remnants of emotions that had persisted since their college years. Memories of carefully confessing feelings to a drunken Han Geum-joo, along with Han Geum-joo's differing views on their relationship, remained as unresolved wounds for Seo Ui-jun.
Meanwhile, unresolved tensions with Seo Ui-jun still lingering, Han Geum-joo entered the Geum-joo camp under the orders of Kim Gwang-ok (Kim Sung-ryung) alongside Han Jung-soo (Kim Sang-ho) and Han Hyun-joo (Jo Yoon-hee). Participants of the camp were required to return their phones along with the monk's guidance that "the most urgent matter now is Geum-joo," leading Han Geum-joo to begin her seclusion from the outside world.
Later, during a brief moment of freedom, Han Geum-joo managed to retrieve her phone. Upon checking a message, she found shocking content. The date and place remained the same, but only the bride's name had changed in the wedding reservation text. It also surfaced that the refunded wedding hall deposit was actually money from Ryu-yeop (Yoo Eui-tae), the person she had broken off her engagement with, deepening her sense of disappointment.
Meanwhile, Seo Ui-jun was shocked to accidentally witness Ryu-yeop with a woman holding a maternity booklet at the hospital. Concerned for Han Geum-joo, he quickly headed to the temple and found her sitting alone in the mountains. Trying to maintain composure when seeing Seo Ui-jun, Han Geum-joo eventually burst into tears, saying she wasn't okay, while Seo Ui-jun quietly stayed by her side.
In this way, the third episode revealed hidden emotions between Han Geum-joo and Seo Ui-jun, prompting subtle changes in their relationship. Seo Ui-jun's genuine feelings, which had been hidden during his affection for Han Geum-joo, the breakdown of Han Geum-joo after the engagement was canceled, and Seo Ui-jun learning all these circumstances—viewers are particularly interested in how the two, who seem to be drifting apart, will connect emotionally in the future.
The fourth episode of the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama 'Second Shot at Love,' which will capture the slowly emerging emotions involving Choi Su-young and Gong Myoung, will air today (20th) at 8:50 p.m.
