Yoon Jong-hoon and Um Hyun-kyung ushered in the opening of a full-fledged relationship.
On the 1st, KBS 1TV daily drama "Gippeun Uri Joeun Nal" (directed by Lee Jae-sang / written by Nam Seon-hye / produced by Monster Union, Sayeon Media, Contents G) episode 3 aired, in which Go Gyeol (Yoon Jong-hoon), who set foot on Korean soil for the first time in 10 years, met Jo Eun-ae (Um Hyun-kyung), who was causing a commotion at the airport, signaling the start of destiny. That broadcast recorded a 10.1% viewership rating (provided by Nielsen Korea, nationwide households basis), marking a box-office indicator created by seamless acting synergy and an immersive narrative.
Jo Eun-ae was thrown into anxiety after receiving the earth-shattering news that Han Ji-hoon (Seo Dong-kyu), co-CEO of "Lucky Joy Tech," had absconded after taking the office deposit. Her image gripping an unanswered phone and worrying foreshadowed the massive trials to come and heightened viewers' immersion.
At the same time, Go Gyeol decided to return to Korea after 10 years and informed his grandfather Go Gang-su's (Lee Ho-jae) secretary Seo Gwon-sik (Jung Ho-bin) of his return. Seo Seung-ri (Yoon Da-young), who heard this story beside Seo Gwon-sik, revealed her unchanged affection for her first love Go Gyeol and foreshadowed a straightforward romance.
Meanwhile, Jo Eun-ae, returning home with a troubled heart, felt hurt by her mother Kang Yeon-ja's (Kim Hye-ok) nagging questioning about Han Ji-hoon as if she could not trust her. Although Kang Yeon-ja spoke harshly on the surface, she moved viewers to tears by revealing her true feelings for Jo Eun-ae to her husband Jo Seong-jun (Sunwoo Jae-duk), saying, "I've always been too kind, always yielding and only suffering losses." Later, Kang Yeon-ja said Han Ji-hoon might even consider marriage and asked Seong-jun whether a loan would be possible, but Seong-jun evasively changed the subject, hinting that he was hiding something.
Meanwhile, Go Dae-chi (Yoon Da-hoon) became alert to the fact that his father Go Gang-su had called Go Gyeol. He worried that the second son Go Gyeol, whom his father adopted at his urging in the past, might threaten the position of the first son Go Min-ho. The tense power struggle among the Go family over management rights is expected to add to the drama's tension, sharply raising anticipation for future developments.
At the end of the broadcast, Jo Eun-ae was shocked to hear that Gangsu Construction had acquired "Lucky Joy Tech." Jo Eun-ae went straight to Han Ji-hoon's family home and only then realized she had been deceived by him, and she ran to the airport to catch Ji-hoon, who was returning from Bali. At that moment, Go Gyeol, who had just set foot in Korea, witnessed the commotion between Jo Eun-ae and Han Ji-hoon, and their relationship began. The ending scene, which foreshadowed the two peoples' full intertwining, aroused viewers' curiosity and increased the desire to watch the next episode live.
KBS1 "Gippeun Uri Joeun Nal" episode 4 will air at 8:30 p.m. on the 2nd.
