Love Collides: ‘Bunny and the Boys’ Sparks Emotional Turmoil in Complex Love Square
The tangled web of emotions reached a breaking point in episode 7 of MBC’s Friday-Saturday drama ‘Bunny and the Boys’, as complex relationships and heartfelt confessions intensified the tension.
Roh Jeong-eui’s character, Bunny, finds herself emotionally vulnerable when she confronts Hwang Jae-yeol (played by Lee Chae-min) after he kisses her in front of In Summer (Jeon So-young). Expecting a sincere explanation, Bunny is instead met with Jae-yeol’s guilt-ridden silence. This lack of response deepens her hurt, as she had believed he was different from others.
As the silence between them grows longer, Bunny becomes increasingly distant, and Jae-yeol’s remorse escalates. Watching the growing rift, Ji-won Cha (Jo Joon-young), who harbors feelings for Bunny, slowly begins to express his affections. His subtle gestures—choosing Bunny over his younger sibling, and highlighting his care for her—signal a shift in their dynamic.
Amid this emotional storm, Bunny and Hwang Jae-yeol finally share a heart-to-heart conversation since the incident. Jae-yeol offers a solemn apology and admits his impulsive kiss was an act driven by fear of losing her. Though Bunny hears what she longed to hear, opening her heart again remains a challenge—yet she makes a determined effort to mend their bond, revealing just how deeply she cares.
The emotional stakes climax during the highly anticipated art school festival, where the confession tree event causes another twist: Bunny’s name is called out, prompting mixed reactions. She secretly hopes the confessor is Hwang Jae-yeol, but to everyone’s surprise, Ji-won Cha steps forward. While Jae-yeol reels in shock and In Summer breathes a sigh of relief, Ji-won remains composed as he silently declares his feelings for Bunny.
This unexpected twist leaves viewers gripped as the intense love square between Bunny, Hwang Jae-yeol, Ji-won Cha, and In Summer takes an unpredictable turn. With such emotional gravity, the drama continues to showcase the powerful coming-of-age moments of its leads—Roh Jeong-eui, Lee Chae-min, Jo Joon-young, and Jeon So-young.
Find out how the confession will alter the fates of these young hearts in the next episode of ‘Bunny and the Boys’, airing tonight (June 3) at 9:50 PM KST on MBC.
