Namgoong-min has realized his love for Jeon Yeo-bin.
In the SBS Friday-Saturday drama 'Our Movie' (written by Han Ga-eun and Kang Kyung-min, directed by Lee Jeong-heum), Lee Je-ha (played by Namgoong-min) defined his feelings for Lee Da-eum (played by Jeon Yeo-bin) as love and kissed her, causing viewers' hearts to race. The viewership rating for episode 8 recorded 3.8% in the metropolitan area, with a peak rating soaring to 4.9% (according to Nielsen Korea).
Lee Je-ha, shocked to learn that Lee Da-eum has a terminal illness, quickly followed Chae Seo-young (played by Lee Seol) to persuade her. When Lee Je-ha asked Chae Seo-young to keep Lee Da-eum's secret under the pretext of a movie, Chae Seo-young pointed out, "You don't want to protect the movie; you want to protect Lee Da-eum."
However, due to memories from his childhood, the word 'love' still felt unfamiliar to Lee Je-ha, and he struggled to confirm the feelings he had for Lee Da-eum, falling into deep contemplation. Those around him noticed the change in Lee Je-ha, but no one could satisfy his curiosity about the way or timing to distinguish love.
In the meantime, an opportunity arose for Lee Je-ha and Lee Da-eum to get closer. During a break from filming, Lee Je-ha and Lee Da-eum went to Seoul together, visiting a hospital, a flower shop, and Lee Je-ha's mother's columbarium. Upon accidentally discovering that it was Lee Da-eum's birthday, Lee Je-ha presented her with a bouquet, making her smile.
In particular, Lee Je-ha honestly shared his feelings with Lee Da-eum, revealing the hidden secret in the draft of the movie 'White Love.' His words about searching for the message his late mother wanted to convey through 'White Love' contained a growing affection that he was unaware of.
After taking Lee Da-eum home, Lee Je-ha calmly recited the lines of the male protagonist from the draft of 'White Love' written by his mother. His face reflected a subtle expression as he pondered whether he could call the wave of emotions in his heart love and whether he was worthy of such feelings.
On their way back to the filming set, smiles remained on the faces of Lee Je-ha and Lee Da-eum, suggesting that their hearts were pointing towards each other. After hearing from Jeong Eun-ho (played by Jeong Hwi) that Lee Je-ha's gaze always lingered on her, Lee Da-eum invited him to watch the sunset together.
With Lee Da-eum always taking the initiative to approach him, Lee Je-ha ran to her without hesitation at her request for a date, making onlookers' hearts flutter. Facing Lee Da-eum under the burning red sunset, Lee Je-ha expressed his feelings with a short kiss, saying, "I feel like I shouldn't like you, but I know too well now that it's not an illusion."
Lee Da-eum responded to Lee Je-ha's kiss, finally revealing that their love was mutual. Knowing that their time together was limited, the affectionate gaze exchanged between Lee Je-ha and Lee Da-eum left a deep impression, raising curiosity about what future awaits their love that challenges eternity.
The poignant romance of Namgoong-min and Jeon Yeo-bin, which cannot be postponed, continues in SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Our Movie.' Episode 9 will air on the 11th at 9:50 PM.
