#### Love in Rocky Waters
The show began on a lighter note with Han Geum-ju (played by Choi Soo-young) enjoying a sweet date with Seo Eui-joon (played by Gong Myung) in Daecheon. Their peaceful day was interrupted by Han Geum-ju’s sister, Han Hyun-joo (played by Jo Yoon-hee), and their friend, Bong Seon-wook (played by Kang Hyung-seok), who were on their own coincidental date in the same locality. What ensued was a spontaneous double date, as the group navigated budding feelings and unspoken tensions.
Bong Seon-wook’s lingering gaze toward Han Hyun-joo did not go unnoticed. Post-vacation, Han Geum-ju confronted her sister about Bong Seon-wook’s affections, which complicated their familial bond. Kim Gwang-ok’s unexpected health crisis added another layer of complexity to this saga of love and family ties.
#### A Family Crisis
Kim Gwang-ok’s sudden fall due to acute hepatitis shocked the family. Known for her sobriety, the news of her illness tested the family’s resolve as they scrambled to find a viable organ donor.
