‘The History of Jijil’ Jo Byung-kyu, Ryeo Woon, Jung Jae-kwang, and Jung Yong-joo drew explosive sympathy with their clumsy actions in a ‘relationship of inevitability’ that seems like coincidence but is also fate.
Episodes 5 and 6 of the Wavve-Watcha drama ‘The History of Jijil (written by Kim Poong/ directed by Kim Sung-hoon/ produced by HB Entertainment)’, released on the 12th, showed the unfinished love story of Seo Min-ki (Jo Byung-kyu), who met a new love and started a relationship, but faced a new crisis, and his best friends Noh Jun-seok (Ryeo Woon), Kwon Ki-hyuk (Jung Jae-kwang), and Lee Kwang-jae (Jung Yong-joo).
Seo Min-ki gradually grew closer to Yoon Seol-ha (Song Ha-yoon) and helped her find a new job. While drinking a celebratory drink with Yoon Seol-ha, Seo Min-ki received his first kiss in his life from her, and ended up confessing his feelings and sharing an even more passionate kiss. And despite their six-year age gap, the two enjoyed the happiness of a couple, kissing without warning. Seo Min-ki cheered after Yoon Seol-ha confirmed his relationship with him in front of Noh Jun-seok, Kwon Ki-hyuk, and Lee Kwang-jae, and thanks to his friends who deliberately left the room, he was able to spend the night with Yoon Seol-ha for the first time. However, Seo Min-ki foolishly asked Yoon Seol-ha, “Am I your first?” and when she said no, he shed tears, saying, “I‘m sad that I’m not your first man.”
Furthermore, Seo Min-ki was not able to spend the night as skillfully as he had thought, and made everyone laugh by getting upset at Yoon Seol-ha‘s prank. Meanwhile, Seo Min-ki got angry when he found out the identity of Yoon Seol-ha’s ex-boyfriend, and broke up with Yoon Seol-ha in anger while she was dating him, who was suffering from humiliation during the interview, which heightened his anxiety.
Noh Jun-seok hid the fact that his boyfriend Lee Gyu-cheol (Kim Kang-min) cheated on him with another woman from his friend So Ju-yeon (Jo Yoon-seo), who lives with him like family, and he felt bitter when he saw So Ju-yeon happily setting off on her first trip with Lee Gyu-cheol. However, when So Ju-yeon called him crying and said, “Gyu-cheol cheated on him,” he was surprised and took a taxi to Gapyeong where So Ju-yeon was. While searching for So Ju-yeon in the pouring rain, Noh Jun-seok was in danger of falling off a cliff, and while hanging on a tree, he thought about his deep connection with So Ju-yeon. Noh Jun-seok, who was saved by So Ju-yeon who ran to him, felt upset as he wiped So Ju-yeon‘s tear-stained face in the taxi on the way home. And Noh Jun-seok felt a strange feeling toward So Ju-yeon who breathed on his wounds, and he was embarrassed when So Ju-yeon kept coming to mind.
Kwon Ki-hyuk was saved from danger by Choi Hee-sun (Hwang Bo-reum-byeol) who came forward with a broken bottle, and Choi Hee-sun, who chased away the violent guests, hugged and comforted Kwon Ki-hyuk while trembling with fear herself. The two who eventually reconciled went on a theater date, and Choi Hee-sun naturally leaned on Kwon Ki-hyuk’s shoulder, increasing the excitement. While drinking, Choi Hee-sun confessed her unfortunate life as the daughter of a local family, and Kwon Ki-hyuk comforted Choi Hee-sun by saying that she endured poverty even when her father took his own life. After that, Kwon Ki-hyuk got into his mother‘s (Kim Soo-jin) taxi while going to see a late-night movie with Choi Hee-sun, and Kwon Ki-hyuk’s mother praised Choi Hee-sun‘s kind side. And Kwon Ki-hyuk and Choi Hee-sun held hands and loved each other. However, Kwon Ki-hyuk was shocked when he saw Choi Hee-sun getting into a taxi with a customer, not knowing that she was quitting the bar and starting a new life.
Lee Kwang-jae visited the club and met Oh Yeon-jung (Lee Min-ji), who he had no interest in at all when booking, again, and the two took over the stage, dancing like a couple. And the two quickly became close due to their common love of dancing and hip-hop. Even when Kim Chae-young (Jin Jung-hye), who he had met when booking Oh Yeon-jung, belittled her appearance, he defended Oh Yeon-jung, revealing his changed feelings. After that, the two of them looked embarrassed when they won a motel stay as the first prize in an instant lottery given out at the club. Lee Kwang-jae bluffed so that Oh Yeon-jung wouldn’t find out about his inexperience. Then, in the final ending, Lee Kwang-jae was startled after dreaming of spending the night with Oh Yeon-jung and then woke up to find Oh Yeon-jung really asleep next to him, raising expectations for the next episode.
Meanwhile, the drama ‘History of a Jjijil’ is released twice a week on Wavve and Watcha at 11 a.m. every Wednesday.
