Choi Soo-young, who has embarked on the abstinence challenge, faces her first hurdle.

In episode 5 of tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Please Quit Drinking’ (written by Myung Soo-hyun, Jun Ji-hyun, directed by Jang Yoo-jung, and Jo Nam-hyung), which will air on the 26th, Han Geum-joo(played by Choi Soo-young), who has decided to quit drinking, faces her first test when she attends a company dinner.

Earlier, after Han Geum-ju returned to her hometown of Bocheon Village after breaking off her engagement, she was caught up in her mother’s ban on alcohol and began an unexpected abstinence from alcohol.Contrary to her belief that she could quit whenever she wanted, Han Geum-ju realized that she was more dependent on alcohol than she thought, and she finally decided to stay sober.

However, a realistic temptation called a company dinner comes to Han Geum-ju.In particular, Han Geum-ju is a person who denied the necessity of abstinence from alcohol, saying that alcohol is essential for social life.For Han Geum-ju, who was so used to her boss’s offer of alcohol and cheerful drinking parties with colleagues, a company dinner is a moment that can shake her more than ever.


In the photo released by the production team, Han Geum-ju is sitting in the middle of a company dinner where everyone is laughing, chatting, and drinking.Her face, blankly expressionless in the familiar yet unfamiliar atmosphere, clearly shows a look of bewilderment at the temptation she encountered for the first time since deciding to quit drinking.

Another scene was captured where Han Geum-ju firmly blocks the mouth of her glass from the hand of her boss who offers her another drink.This response shows that the declaration of abstinence from alcohol is not just words.Attention is focused on whether Han Geum-ju will be able to maintain her sanity without wavering in the face of this temptation.

Episode 5 of ‘Please Quit Drinking’ will air at 8:50 PM on the 26th.
