‘Fragile’ has caught attention for realistically depicting the stories of teenagers living in the present, from cyberbullying on social media, secret flings with friends, and romantic relationships between boyfriend and girlfriend.
In episode 7 of ‘Fragile’ (planned and produced by: STUDIO X+U, producers: Ahn Ji-hoon, Kang Ji-hee, scriptwriters: Park Joo-yi, Oh Ji-soo, Jeon Gyu-young), which was released on U+ Mobile TV on Monday the 21st, a new boyfriend appears to replace Nam Do-ha, the popular boy in school who acts like the ‘super-gap boyfriend’ to ‘lovely gold digger’ Jeon Mi-na. Also, ‘Central High School scandal girl’ Park Ji-yu is shocked after receiving an anonymous ‘Bomb of verbal abuse DM’.
The DM in question seemed to have in mind the surprise kiss and love triangle scandal that occurred between Park Ji-yu and Nam Do-ha earlier, and was filled with verbal abuse and slander directed at Park Ji-yu‘s relationships with men, such as “Can’t you live without a man?”, “Dirty X”. Park Ji-yu‘s friends are also astonished when they see the ‘Bombing DM’. ‘Existing bad-mouther’ Kim Ye-ri responds with fierce language and counterattacks.
However, the anonymous malicious commenter who sent Park Ji-yu another DM said, “Do you think I’d be scared because of that?”, “Does your mom know? Every time I go on a business trip, I bring a man home ㅋㅋ”, and she continues to taunt and mock me excessively. As curiosity about the identity of the malicious commenter reaches its peak, a frightened Park Ji-yu suspects Han Soo-jin, the ‘hostile woman’, who grabbed her hair and even got into a physical fight. Whether Han Soo-jin, Park Ji-yu‘s boyfriend Noh Chan-seong’s former ‘ex-girlfriend’, is the culprit who slandered Park Ji-yu through DMs will be revealed in Episode 7 of ‘Fragile’.
Meanwhile, while Park Ji-yu‘s mother is out of the house on a business trip, a group of friends throw a pajama party. Yeo Eun-soo, the ‘deviant fairy’, who stole her brother’s condom during their previous bowling alley date, secretly brings some plum wine from home. While sharing plum wine, the friends share a taboo.
As the alcohol takes effect and the mood becomes more relaxed, Jeon Mi-na invites her new ‘some guy’ Kang San to Park Ji-yu‘s house. Eventually, while her friends are asleep, their lips grow closer and closer, and the thrilling, ultra-close scene between Jeon Mi-na and Kang San can be seen in the main episode of ‘Fragile’.
The hyper-realistic high teen series ‘Fragile’ is released every Monday at midnight on U+ Mobile TV.
