A Twist of Emotions and Secrets in tvN’s Drama ‘Please Take Care of My Fridge’

The second episode of tvN’s (Total Variety Network) latest Monday-Tuesday drama, ‘Please Take Care of My Fridge’, captivated viewers with a mix of suspense, emotional revelations, and budding romance between its leads, Choi Soo-young and Gong Myeong.

The episode opened with a dramatic commotion — the apparent disappearance of Han Geum-ju (played by Choi Soo-young). Panic spread quickly through her village when her belongings were found near Boryeong Lake, but audiences were quickly relieved to discover she had only ended up at Seo Yi-jun’s (Gong Myeong) home after being drunkenly taken there following a near-accident caused by her staggering on the road.

Though the disappearance turned out to be a misunderstanding, Seo Yi-jun sustained a leg injury in the incident, leading Han Geum-ju to assume an unexpected debt of guilt. Unable to pay monetary compensation due to her absence from work, she accompanied Seo Yi-jun on his medical rounds, assisting him as a way to make up for the accident. This unusual partnership slowly brought them closer.

The episode further unfolded as an online rumor surfaced about an individual, obscured under the initials ‘ㅅㅇㅈ,’ who was said to have quit their job and left Seoul following workplace mistreatment and a fiancé’s betrayal. Believing it related to Seo Yi-jun, Han Geum-ju empathized deeply and tried to get closer to him. However, the person in the story turned out to be someone else entirely, creating another awkward misunderstanding.

Seo Yi-jun, now aware of this misconception, drew boundaries with a cold response: “Even if it were true, it’s not your business to intervene.” Their already delicate relationship grew tenser.

The conflict deepened when Han Geum-ju left Seo Yi-jun’s side unexpectedly after seeing a birthday notification for her ex-boyfriend Juyeop (played by Yu Ui-tae). Her quick trip to Seoul to retrieve a custom-made cake from their past relationship led her to a painful encounter — running into Juyeop and his new partner.

Devastated, Han Geum-ju turned back to alcohol only to cross paths with Seo Yi-jun again while intoxicated. Disappointed, Seo Yi-jun remarked, “It must’ve been another perfect excuse to drink,” revealing his disapproval.

As emotions swirled, a deeper layer of mystery emerged surrounding Seo Yi-jun’s own past. Though he claimed to have quit drinking, viewers spotted his fridge filled with soju bottles. To make matters murkier, an ominous comment on an online forum suggested, “Seo Yi-jun killed someone.”

The episode ended with Seo Yi-jun staring coldly at the scattered bottles, intensifying the intrigue for his hidden backstory.
