Joo Ji-hoon and Jung Yu-mi kissed.

Episode 5 of the tvN weekend drama ‘Love on a Single-Log Bridge’ (directed by Park Joon-hwa, Bae Hee-young, written by Lim Ye-jin), which aired on the 7th, depicted the cohabitation of Seok Ji-won (played by Joo Ji-hoon) and Yoon Ji-won (played by Jung Yu-mi), who were stimulated by the statement, “It‘s only a 3-month relationship”. While shopping together, the two started to recall past memories and expose each other, and even remembered their eating habits and preferences. Above all, Seok Ji-won expressed her jealousy toward Gong Moon-soo (played by Lee Si-woo), who was winning over Yoon Jae-ho (played by Kim Kap-soo) with her extraordinary cooking skills, and eventually exploded at Yoon Ji-won’s comment, “I like both 7 years older and younger people just fine. As long as they‘re not the same age, that’s fine.” He demonstrated his abilities as an executive director of a construction company and renovated the old house, making Seok Ji-won and Gong Moon-soo competitive.

In addition, as Yoon Ji-won spent more time with Seok Ji-won, she became deeply involved with him. Eventually, after a heated argument, Yoon Ji-won secretly watched Seok Ji-won disappear while laughing, and she smiled without realizing it, saying, “Are you laughing? I‘m speechless,” but soon after, she panicked and said, “Why am I laughing? I must be crazy,” and clashed with him. Yoon Jae-ho and Seok Kyung-tae (played by Lee Byung-joon) also clashed. Yoon Jae-ho gathered the villagers to stop the construction of a golf course, and Seok Kyung-tae interfered. When a drunk Seok Kyung-tae swore at Yoon Ji-won who came to break up the fight, Yoon Jae-ho, unable to control his anger, swung his fist, and eventually Seok Ji-won, who was trying to stop him, ended up getting hit in place of his father.


After that, the fight between the two families ended, but the relationship between Seok Ji-won and Yoon Ji-won became cold again. Seok Ji-won said to Yoon Ji-won, who was expressing his resentment, “That’s how the world is. 18 years ago, we also fell apart so easily and simply. Even if it wasn‘t intentional or there were unavoidable circumstances, the one who fell apart is in so much pain and suffering that they die. So even after so much time has passed and no matter how much I rebuild and fix what was broken, I can’t let go of my petty desire for revenge,” he said, recalling his past wounds and feeling sorry.

An unexpected twist that lit a firework between the two who seemed to be drifting apart unfolded. Seok Ji-won accidentally found a box containing memories from their secret relationship 18 years ago in Yoon Ji-won’s attic. After that, Seok Ji-won, who was distraught, held out a couple photo and asked, “Why do you still have this?” Yoon Ji-won was flustered and made an excuse, “I didn’t keep it, I just forgot to throw it away,” and hid her emotions by crumpling up the photo in front of Seok Ji-won. Along with this, Yoon Ji-won foreshadowed another twist by charging her old cell phone that she had been lovingly keeping.

At the end of the broadcast, a strange tension was created as Yoon Ji-won nursed Seok Ji-won, who had a severe cold. Yoon Ji-won stayed by Seok Ji-won’s side despite her sharp words, and at that moment, Seok Ji-won dreamed of the day when he spent the night in front of Yoon Ji-won‘s house. Seok Ji-won, who was in a daze, saw Yoon Ji-won in front of him and said to himself, ”It’s really Yoon Ji-won,“ with a surge of emotions. Then, as if drawn to her, he kissed her, giving her a passionate dreamy kiss ending. Yoon Ji-won also felt her heart sway involuntarily as she held onto Seok Ji-won‘s excited expression and her eyes filled with tears, foreshadowing a change in their relationship.
