In the target demographic of tvN, the 2049 male and female viewership ratings also ranked first in the same time slot across all channels, including terrestrial TV, based on combined numbers from cable, IPTV, and satellite services, according to Nielsen Korea.
An Ju-hyung attended a high school reunion and unexpectedly ran into members of the 'Ubiquitous Avengers' there. A classmate recognized Kang Hee-ji among the Ubiquitous Avengers and asked An Ju-hyung if he was the person they met 10 years ago in Hong Kong, which left him flustered. An Ju-hyung just described her as a workplace colleague but jokingly responded "No" to the classmate's request to set them up on a blind date, which brought laughter.
After finishing the gathering, while returning with Kang Hee-ji, An Ju-hyung accidentally overheard a conversation with his classmates. When Kang Hee-ji asked what had been the best moment, he mentioned all the memories from their meeting in Hong Kong, creating excitement. The sight of the two sitting side by side on the bus, secretly looking at each other and smiling, warmed the hearts of viewers.
Meanwhile, with the holiday season arriving in Seocho-dong, the busy daily lives of the Ubiquitous Avengers were given a break. Exhausted by family visits and meal preparations, An Ju-hyung headed to the office under the pretext of work to have some alone time, and by fate, he ran into Kang Hee-ji. This was when he encountered Kang Hee-ji, who was on her way to work to avoid her family's nagging. Kang Hee-ji gladly accepted An Ju-hyung's proposal to have a meal together.
As An Ju-hyung and Kang Hee-ji searched for a restaurant that had opened its doors, they recalled memories related to Gangnam Station, where they had planned to meet 10 years ago. They learned that although they had gone to Gangnam Station as promised in the past, they had missed each other. Reflecting on the misunderstanding that had occurred, An Ju-hyung expressed his disappointment, saying, "Next time, no matter what, let's be specific."
In response, Kang Hee-ji conveyed her feelings to An Ju-hyung with a kiss on the cheek, asking, "Is this certain?" An Ju-hyung also replied with a brief kiss, and a romantic atmosphere surrounded the two as they walked through the peacefully snowing Seocho-dong.
However, this peace was short-lived, as Kang Hee-ji's father, Kim Myung-ho (Kim Tae-hoon), was taken into custody by the police, shocking everyone. Stunned by the unexpected situation facing her family, Kang Hee-ji was unable to go to work and was extremely anxious.
Particularly, the music flowing over the stiff and somber expressions of her family, who had lost their smiles, added to the sadness as it was the song Kang Hee-ji had played in Hong Kong, wanting to keep her parents smiling. Curiosity is growing about what might have happened to Kang Hee-ji's once-harmonious family.
Meanwhile, Jo Chang-won (Kang Yoo-seok) was appointed as the public defender for defendant Do Mi-kyung (Hwang Jung-min), who was entangled in a voice phishing crime, and did his best to secure an acquittal. However, Do Mi-kyung, who had been used by criminals while trying to get a loan to make a living, was being sought after a fine, which left Jo Chang-won anxious. Attention is focused on whether Jo Chang-won can protect Do Mi-kyung as her lawyer until the end.
The story of the attorney associates facing cracks in their ordinary lives will continue in the 8th episode of the tvN weekend drama 'Seocho-dong' to air at 9:20 p.m. on the 27th.
