Accordingly, the 7th episode recorded an average of 3.1% for households in the metropolitan area, a peak of 4%, an average of 3.1% for households nationwide, and a peak of 3.7%, ranking first in the same time slot on cable and comprehensive channels in both the metropolitan area and nationwide.(Based on paid platforms that integrate cable, IPTV, and satellite/provided by Nielsen Korea)

On this day’s broadcast, it was revealed that the reason for Han Geum-ju’s breakup was not simply alcohol, but the infidelity of her ex-lover Joo-yeop(played by Yoo Eui-tae).When her mother Kim Gwang-ok(played by Kim Sung-ryung)found out about this, she was someone who usually avoided alcohol, but she was unable to overcome the shock and started drinking, touching the hearts of viewers.In addition, her father Han Jeong-soo(played by Kim Sang-ho)and older sister Han Hyun-joo(played by Jo Yoon-hee)also expressed their sorrow, with reddened eyes at the pain that Han Geum-ju must have endured alone.

The people of Bocheon Village took care of the Han Geum-ju family in this gloomy mood.Seo Eui-jun(played by Gong Myung), Lee Young-woong(played by Park Kang-seop), and Bong Seon-wook(played by Kang Hyung-seok)visited with meat and lightened the mood by telling the fortune teller Yong-ha that he had Han Geum-ju’s fortune told.The villagers, heavily armed, joined in, promising to punish Joo-yeop, adding cheerful and heartfelt comfort.

The person who protected Han Geum-ju the most was definitely Seo Ui-jun.Han Geum-ju, who pretended to be calm and said, “I’m really okay” in front of her family, finally burst into tears in front of Seo Ui-jun, and Seo Ui-jun stayed by her side without saying a word.In particular, when she was having trouble getting her job back because her rented house was not vacated, he took care of Han Geum-ju with practical help, such as secretly signing a house contract and returning the deposit.

As Seo Ui-jun’s consideration continued like this, Han Geum-ju finally confessed her feelings.She realized belatedly that she had liked Seo Ui-jun after he unilaterally cut her off in the past, and asked him not to make her misunderstand him anymore because his affection still made her feel excited.

Another misunderstanding came, but Seo Ui-jun could not reveal his true feelings.It was because he was afraid that his missing father would reappear and harm Han Geum-ju.In the past, when he was working at a large hospital in Seoul, his father had been acting violently, and recently, there were suspicious incidents such as a home invasion and a truck load accident, so his anxiety was growing.

However, a crisis came from a different direction than he had worried about.A man who blocked Han Geum-ju’s car threatened her by hitting the window with a metal pipe, and after a fierce fight with Seo Ui-jun, he was arrested at the scene.He was revealed to be the one behind the recent home invasion and cargo accident, and an alcoholic patient that Seo Ui-jun had been in charge of in the past.

The incident was settled, but subtle emotional waves still flowed between Han Geum-ju and Seo Ui-jun.After a quarrel mixed with worry, Han Geum-ju turned her back first, and Seo Ui-jun, who could not let her go like that, carefully hugged her from behind.Then, with the confession, “I love you so much,” the relationship between the two turned from friends to lovers.This scene, which touched the hearts of viewers, left a deep impression and impressively portrayed the change in the relationship between the two.

Episode 8 of tvN Monday-Tuesday drama ‘Please Take Care of My Refrain’, where the story of Choi Soo-young and Gong Myung turns into a full-fledged romance, will air on the 3rd at 8:50 PM.
