'EXchange / Transit Love 4' residents faced a crossroads of divergent choices over breakups and reunions.
In episode 16 of the TVING original 'EXchange / Transit Love 4', released on the 17th (Wed), with actor Noh Sang-hyun joining as a guest, the residents' relationship dynamics became clearer centered on the X nomination date. In particular, the female residents facing the X nomination date made unexpected choices, raising tension with an unpredictable turn of events.
The residents, who had a deep conversation with their Xs the previous night, went on the date with heavy hearts and soon focused on each other, beginning to reveal their true feelings more definitively. Park Hyun-ji and Jo Yoo-sik, who had consistently given off a pink mood in Japan, grew closer by making couple rings, and Seong Baek-hyun showed a romantic side by giving Choi Yun-nyeong a surprise gift.
Meanwhile, Gwak Min-kyung and Kim Woo-jin, who were torn between reunion and someone new, spent time together and sorted out their feelings, and Park Ji-hyun also recognized Jo Yoo-sik's feelings — the only person she had strong affection for — and steadied her emotions. Hong Ji-yeon and Jeong Won-gyu, who could not perfectly finish their relationship with X, created a subtly different atmosphere from before.
Also, contrary to last week, this time a mission was given requiring the female residents to nominate the dating partner of their X, bringing a new turning point. Except for Choi Yun-nyeong, who ended her relationship with Lee Jae-hyung as a memory, and Park Hyun-ji, who excluded the possibility of reuniting with X, the other female residents chose other people of the opposite sex to date rather than the X's object of affection, delivering a thrilling reversal.
Meanwhile, Park Hyun-ji and Seong Baek-hyun crumbled as if a fatal weakness had been struck whenever they faced memories they had spent together. Park Hyun-ji, who joined the transit house late, only now checked the self-introduction X had written and the breakup parcel, and she collapsed into tears sitting on the crutch Seong Baek-hyun sent. Seong Baek-hyun apologized to Park Hyun-ji for being by his side during hard times and sobbed, saying "let's meet in the next life," leaving a choking feeling.
Notably, Shin Seung-yong, who has reunions in mind, signaled a full-scale move to win back Park Hyun-ji's heart, saying "I believe people can change," raising viewers' dopamine to the fullest. Expectations are growing over whether a breeze of change will blow for these young men and women whose confusion and excitement intersect.
Episode 17 of the TVING original 'EXchange / Transit Love 4' will be released on the 24th (Wed) at 6 p.m.
