According to the production team, Hong will appear in Episode 6, airing on March 4 at 8:50 PM KST, as Yoon Ji-hoo, the blind date of Moon Ga-young’s character, Do Su-jeong. His arrival is expected to heighten the romantic stakes between Su-jeong and Choi Hyun-wook’s character, Ju-yeon, making him a scene-stealing disruptor in the love triangle.

A Brewing Love Triangle

In Episode 5, Su-jeong and Ju-yeon traveled out of town for a business deal. After a few drinks, Ju-yeon impulsively kissed Su-jeong, revealing his desire to be seen as more than just a younger colleague.

Now, Hong Jong-hyun’s character, Ji-hoo, a handsome, mature, and ideal older man, perfectly matches Su-jeong’s type—unlike the younger Ju-yeon. Stills from the episode show Ji-hoo gazing warmly at Su-jeong, while she listens intently, creating a subtle yet undeniable chemistry between them.

Meanwhile, Ju-yeon witnesses Su-jeong and Ji-hoo together after work, his expression filled with shock and lingering feelings. With their post-kiss relationship already at a crossroads, will this new rival derail their budding romance?
