Second Shot at Love" lightheartedly unravels everyday incidents caused by alcohol, striking a chord with viewers.
Aired last week, the tvN drama "Second Shot at Love" (written by Myung Soo-hyun and Jeon Ji-hyun / directed by Jang Yoo-jung and Jo Nam-hyung / planned by Studio Dragon / produced by How Pictures) portrays various stories that unfold in a daily life intertwined with alcohol, centered around Han Geum-joo (played by Choi Soo-young). Notably, the reunion with first love Seo Yi-jun (played by Gong Myoung) adds excitement and tension. This article reveals the fast-paced timeline of episodes 1 and 2 and the points of interest in the upcoming episodes 3 and 4.
About to get married, Han Geum-joo broke off the engagement by saying, 'I prefer alcohol over you,' and was pushed by her mother to return to her hometown, Bocheon Village. Waiting for her there were her father Han Jeong-su (played by Kim Sang-ho) and her sister Han Hyun-joo (played by Jo Yoon-hee) with their welcome drink. Eventually, unable to bear it anymore, Kim Kwang-ok (played by Kim Sung-ryung) declared, "There will be no more alcohol in this house!"
To maintain her daughter's face, Kim Kwang-ok claimed in the village that the engagement was called off due to issues with the prospective in-laws, but when Han Geum-joo revealed, 'I broke off the engagement because I like alcohol more than my boyfriend,' the efforts were rendered futile. Although the reason for the broken engagement quickly spread throughout the village, the true reason was her ex-boyfriend's infidelity, a fact that Han Geum-joo carried alone without disclosing it to anyone.
Han Geum-joo also reunited with her first love, Seo Yi-jun. Contrary to expectations that he was working at a large hospital in Seoul, Seo Yi-jun was unexpectedly serving as the head of the Bocheon Health Center, and the villagers greeted him with the title 'Bocheon god.' The two, who reunited in their hometown for contrasting reasons, engaged in awkward tension, raising curiosity about their past relationship.
Changes began to occur in the relationship between Han Geum-joo and Seo Yi-jun. An incident occurred where Seo Yi-jun injured his leg due to Han Geum-joo's mistake, and she ended up accompanying him on his home visit to take responsibility. Although their relationship seemed to grow closer as they spent time together, unexpected events and misunderstandings drove a wedge between them, and Seo Yi-jun could not hide his disappointment at seeing Han Geum-joo drinking once again.
In the meantime, a soju bottle was found in Seo Yi-jun's refrigerator, which shouted 'no alcohol,' and an anonymous online comment saying, 'Seo Yi-jun killed someone' raised further questions about his past.
In episodes 3 and 4, airing next Monday and Tuesday, the truths of Seo Yi-jun's hidden past, as well as his connections with Han Geum-joo, will gradually be revealed, marking a new phase in their relationship. There will be subtle ripples in the relationship with Han Geum-joo, and Seo Yi-jun's inner shadows will also emerge, delivering another layer of tension.
Additionally, Han Geum-joo's challenge to abstain from alcohol will intensify. Faced with an abstinence order that spreads throughout Bocheon Village, Han Geum-joo, Han Jeong-su, and Han Hyun-joo, the three women, will be forcibly enrolled in an alcohol abstinence camp and will embark on a delightful war of abstinence, each in their own way. It is anticipated what changes and misadventures their efforts to maintain sobriety will bring.
The tvN drama "Second Shot at Love," which captures the romance of Choi Soo-young and Gong Myoung's efforts to stay sober, as well as the delightful challenge to abstain from alcohol that will follow their enrollment in the alcohol abstinence camp, airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8:50 p.m.
