Roh Jeong-eui and Lee Chae-min’s Unresolved Past Reignites Drama in ‘Bunny and the Brothers’

The emotional climax is arriving for ‘Bunny and the Brothers’, the MBC Fri-Sat Drama spotlighting the complex love triangle between Bunny, Jae-yeol, and Hyun-oh.

Episode 11 aired on the 16th, spotlighted the intense emotional disconnect between Bunny (played by Roh Jeong-eui) and Jae-yeol (played by Lee Chae-min), following a one-year gap caused by Bunny’s overseas study. Though they reunited, their silence and hesitations revealed the fear that kept them apart despite their unspoken affection.

The pair finds themselves sharing a class—an awkward reunion that froze time as they exchanged glances yet refused to take a step forward. Their fated run-ins at the convenience store and library only intensified the suspense as both repressed their feelings.

When Jae-yeol hinted he might leave the class Bunny attended, she sensed an irreversible distance and despaired. Just then, Hyun-oh (played by Hong Min-gi), Bunny’s high school crush, enters the scene. A basketball player at Yein University, Hyun-oh immediately recognized Bunny and boldly confessed via a note hung on the Art Festival’s “Love Tree.”

Hyun-oh’s affections rekindled Bunny’s heart, drawing them closer with chemistry that didn’t go unnoticed by Jae-yeol. Realizing Hyun-oh was Bunny’s ‘first love,’ Jae-yeol’s jealousy emerged, leading to subtle showdowns like a magazine photoshoot where he tried to win Bunny’s attention through stylish rivalry.

However, in an interview question about dating, Jae-yeol’s evasive answer crushed Bunny’s expectations. In contrast, Hyun-oh expressed his disinterest in anything but basketball and his first love—implying Bunny—giving him an emotional edge.

Pushing forward, Hyun-oh used a hot air balloon ticket to ask Bunny out, and she accepted, leaving Jae-yeol helpless. But Jiwon (played by Jo Jun-young), frustrated with Jae-yeol’s indecisiveness, challenged him to act. This confrontation led to a turning point—Jae-yeol finally mustered the courage to stop hesitating and confessed to Bunny with raw honesty and urgency.

As passion intensifies around the trio—Jae-yeol’s bold confession, Bunny’s wavering heart, and Hyun-oh’s unrelenting presence—the audience is left wondering if Bunny will follow the man who dared to fight for her or allow the past to repeat itself.

The finale promises to unravel whether Bunny and Jae-yeol can overcome the misunderstandings and emotional distance that time created. Their unspoken feelings and unresolved regrets come to a head in the final episode of ‘Bunny and the Brothers’, airing tonight at 9:50 PM KST on MBC.
