Park Seo-jin pressed the viewers' tear button properly.
In the episode aired on the 28th on KBS 2TV 'Salim-eun Namjadeul Season 2' (hereafter 'Salim-nam'), Park Seo-jin was depicted shedding tears in an unexpected situation while preparing for his father's 70th birthday.
Park Seo-jin and his two siblings met in Samcheok to discuss their father's celebration ahead of his 70th birthday. His younger sister, Park Hyo-jeong, suggested a catering service appropriate for the party, but Park Seo-jin mentioned the idea of a party on a chartered cruise, showing a difference of opinion. After some negotiations, the three siblings recalled their father's words about being happiest when living on Shindo and decided to hold the 70th birthday celebration there.
Meanwhile, seeing Park Seo-jin, who came home on crutches due to an injury sustained while practicing, his parents were worried, and Park Seo-jin felt troubled seeing his father, whose knee condition had worsened. Despite having more and more ailments, his father was reluctant to go to a hospital that held memories of his children who had already passed away. Therefore, Park Seo-jin took his injured leg and accompanied his father to the hospital to confirm the situation with his own eyes.
Hearing that hospitalization was necessary from the orthopedic department left Park Seo-jin even more anxious, and he felt guilt over his father, along with the expression "Time is cruel." After leaving the hospital, the father and son headed to a photo studio to fulfill the father's wish. While they took pictures together for the first time with his father and brother, momentarily enjoying happy memories, the father unexpectedly asked to take longevity photos, surprising Park Seo-jin. Although he understood his father's wish to take those joyful longevity photos, Park Seo-jin couldn't help but think that his father seemed to be preparing for his end, and ultimately he shed tears, evoking deep emotions.
Thus, this week's episode combined Park Seo-jin's genuine concern for his father and his father's desire not to worry his children, stirring the viewers' emotions. Park Seo-jin's frankness, representing all children's feelings, drew deep empathy and resonance, and the profound family affection displayed by Park Seo-jin once again shone with specialness amidst the ordinary, making the weekend night bring both laughter and tears.
Furthermore, in the next week's episode of 'Salim-nam', the 70th birthday celebration held in Shindo, along with the heartfelt emotions conveyed in letters exchanged among family members, is expected to be depicted, already heightening anticipation for the next episode.
