In the gripping ninth episode of SBS’s fantasy drama “The Escape of the Seven: Resurrection”, aired on May 16, tensions reached new heights with conflicting emotions, unspoken feelings, and dramatic revelations.
Yook Sungjae, portraying the conflicted hero Kang Cheol, attempted to stir jealousy in his longtime friend Yeori (played by Kim Jiyeon). However, his facade cracked as his true emotions surfaced, signaling a shift in their dynamic.
Meanwhile, Choi Inseon (played by Shin Seulki) prepared a royal-quality tea spread in a heartfelt gesture toward Kang Cheol, boldly questioning his relationship with Yeori. Kang Cheol, in an intentionally loud voice for Yeori to overhear, distanced himself by insisting they were merely childhood friends.

Moved by the burden lifted from her heart, Yeori confessed her feelings to Kang Cheol with relieved vulnerability, expressing gratitude that she no longer had to feel guilty for being drawn to him.
