'Our Universe' Bae In Hyuk and Roh Jeong-Eui faced emotional confusion amid subtle changes.
tvN's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Our Universe' (directed by Lee Hyun-seok and Jeong Yeo-jin, written by Sujin and Shin I-hyun, planned by Studio Dragon, produced by Scene&Studio Co., Ltd.) is demonstrating the true value of a comedy-filled, heart-fluttering, chaotic cohabitation romance. From the very first meeting that began as a fateful entanglement to the housemate who suddenly became the guardian of 20-month-old nephew Sun Wooju (played by Park Yu-ho) overnight, and Sun Tae-hyung (Bae In Hyuk) and Woo Hyun-jin (Roh Jeong-Eui), who became each other's refuge while tending to wounds. The sight of the two, who were greeted by a thrilling change in feelings that seeped in without their realizing it, has provoked enthusiastic responses from viewers.
After Sun Tae-hyung realized his feelings for Woo Hyun-jin and confessed, first love Park Yun-seong (played by Park Seoham) delivered the heartfelt truth he had kept for seven years to Woo Hyun-jin, igniting the love triangle in earnest. Between Sun Tae-hyung and Park Yun-seong, viewers are closely watching which choice Woo Hyun-jin will make when faced with confusing emotions. We reviewed the emotional evolution of Sun Tae-hyung and Woo Hyun-jin, who are tantalizing viewers by keeping a subtle distance.
# Bae In Hyuk vs. Roh Jeong-Eui, the clash between the man and woman who began as a fateful entanglement → how did they become in-laws?!
Sun Tae-hyung and Woo Hyun-jin's first meeting was truly the worst. A commotion broke out while they were haggling over price as seller and buyer at a secondhand trading site. After parting with a bad first impression and thinking they would never meet again, the two began to become intertwined as if by chance, as if by fate. They reunited as in-laws at the matchmaking meeting for the marriage of Sun Tae-hyung's older brother Sun Woo-jin (played by Ha Jun) and Woo Hyun-jin's sister Woo Hyun-ju (played by Park Ji-hyun), and they kept clashing. The unexpected reunion did not end there. Bearing secret wounds, Sun Tae-hyung decided to sever ties with the brother he met again after 16 years. Three years later, at the funeral of Sun Woo-jin and Woo Hyun-ju, who had died in an unexpected traffic accident, he encountered Woo Hyun-jin again. However, even when told he had to decide on the guardian for the lone remaining nephew Wooju, Sun Tae-hyung coldly drew a line and left after telling Woo Hyun-jin never to meet him again.
# The start of strange and unfamiliar feelings during shared childcare and cohabitation: raising the "baby" and doing "yourself"?!
The relationship between Sun Tae-hyung and Woo Hyun-jin, which had been full of bickering whenever they met, gradually changed when they signed a cohabitation contract on the condition of jointly raising Wooju. While Sun Tae-hyung needed a temporary place to stay during renovation of his new home, Woo Hyun-jin needed a temporary helper to look after Wooju while she was at work, and they agreed to cohabit on terms that were a win-win. Even during cohabitation, their constant clashes paused for a moment when an incident occurred. After promising to clear up misunderstandings and get along, they drank together and woke up the next day in the same bed. Since that day, Sun Tae-hyung and Woo Hyun-jin began to notice each other's presence in the small everyday things they had previously overlooked. As in-laws who had never thought of each other as a man and a woman, the unexpected fluttering toward each other felt strange and unfamiliar. Thus, a subtle excitement began between the two.
# "I can stay beside you until the rain stops" The thrill within the comfort of becoming each other's umbrella
The feeling of "fluttering" began to deepen as they shared each other's pain and comforted one another. Sun Tae-hyung carried a deep wound in his chest from childhood. The memory of waiting for the brother who said he would pick him up when the rain stopped and left him at the orphanage was why he came to dislike rainy days. Woo Hyun-jin, who could not understand Sun Tae-hyung for his reluctance to open his heart easily, realized his story after learning it. To Sun Tae-hyung, who had never had an expectation fulfilled, Woo Hyun-jin's comfort — "I'll come pick you up. I'll be your umbrella, Sun Tae-hyung" — knocked on his tightly closed heart. Woo Hyun-jin also found great strength in Sun Tae-hyung's presence. Having lost the only sister who had been her lifelong umbrella and struggling alone, Woo Hyun-jin smiled at Sun Tae-hyung's comfort: "The rain falling on my in-law will stop, and I can stay by your side until then." The sight of the two gradually closing the emotional distance by tending and understanding each other's wounds made viewers' hearts flutter.
Meanwhile, tvN's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Our Universe' episode 9 will air on the 4th (Wednesday) at 10:40 p.m.
