On Tuesday, the 3rd, the tvN Monday-Tuesday drama Spring Fever (directed by Park Won-guk / written by Kim A-jung / planned by CJ ENM STUDIOS / produced by Bonfactory) episode 10 depicted a scene in which Seon Jae-kyu (played by Ahn Bo-hyun) and Yoon Bom (played by Lee Joo-been) confessed their pasts to each other, leaving a deep aftertaste.

In yesterday's broadcast, Yoon Bom's mother Jung Nan-hee (played by Na Young-hee) came to Sinsu-eup to find her daughter and was put at risk of a traffic accident, raising tension. But at the precarious moment, 'Sinsu-eup hero' Seon Jae-kyu miraculously appeared and rescued Jung Nan-hee, delivering catharsis. Unaware that Yoon Bom's boyfriend was Seon Jae-kyu, Jung Nan-hee showed affection for him, creating bittersweet sympathy among viewers.
After her car broke down, Jung Nan-hee stayed at Seon Jae-kyu's house and unintentionally reunited with Yoon Bom, and a chilly atmosphere flowed between the two. When Jung Nan-hee learned of the relationship between Seon Jae-kyu and Yoon Bom, she strongly opposed them, but their bond only grew stronger. Eventually Jung Nan-hee decided to stay in Sinsu-eup to watch them closely, drawing attention from viewers at home.
Meanwhile, Yoon Bom could not hide her agitation as wounds from the past resurfaced after reuniting with her mother. The memory of being slapped by a parent resurfaced like a nightmare. Noticing this, Seon Jae-kyu visited a jiu-jitsu gym to lift Yoon Bom's mood, and their date excited viewers.
The calm lasted only a moment as it was revealed that Jung Nan-hee was watching all of this, increasing anxiety. To make matters worse, when Jung Nan-hee, who had been following him, was about to be in an accident, Seon Jae-kyu saved her and was involved in a traffic accident himself, throwing everyone into confusion. Upon hearing this, Yoon Bom rushed to the hospital to check on him, and fortunately Seon Jae-kyu recovered without serious injury, reassuring viewers. His iron physicality, unaffected by most accidents, even brought laughter amid the tension. Still, Yoon Bom's heart sank, and blaming herself for her mother causing Seon Jae-kyu's injury, she erupted with long-suppressed anger, saying, "Why should people who suffer because of that person have to live holding it in?" She then honestly revealed the trauma she had been handling alone to Seon Jae-kyu, adding to the poignancy.
Meanwhile, the story of Seon Jae-kyu and Choi Yi-jun (played by Cha Seo Won), who were once close friends but are now enemies, was also revealed. Seon Jae-kyu, who grew up under a domestic violence–prone father, struggled to survive, and Choi Yi-jun financially helped him. After a fire at Seon Jae-kyu's house resulted in his father's death, Choi Yi-jun became convinced that Seon Jae-kyu had killed his father. Later, when Jung Nan-hee did not believe Choi Yi-jun's claim and sided with Seon Jae-kyu, he raised his voice in front of her, shouting, "He's the bastard who killed my father!" At that moment, Seon Jae-kyu and Yoon Bom happened to hear Choi Yi-jun's words, and the conflict reached a climax.
At the end of the broadcast, Yoon Bom judged Choi Yi-jun's accusation against Seon Jae-kyu to be a slander and quietly stayed by his side. In response, Seon Jae-kyu, as if having made a decision, left Yoon Bom a shocking confession, saying, "I killed my father," amplifying curiosity about which direction the two will head and future developments.
After the broadcast, viewers reacted enthusiastically with comments such as "Nan-hee gave Jae-kyu a nickname. My hero," "The dojo date was so thrilling," "Today it's the uncle series principal teacher," "Jae-kyu got into an accident but it's a relief he's healthy," "Bom's trauma—Jae-kyu knows now," and "Is the uncle ending next week? With two episodes left, it's such a shame."
The tvN Monday-Tuesday drama Spring Fever episode 11 will air on Monday the 9th at 8:50 p.m.
