Ji-woo is at work and he is distracted and lost focus on his work as he keeps looking at the door. Suddenly two guests appear at the restaurant and they talk to the chef about being featured on a show about food. They claim that Yoo-ha asked them to visit the restaurant. Ji-woo calls the little girl to clarify the appointment and Yoo-ha forces him to talk to them about his appearance on the show.
Ji-woo is hanging out by the park with Yoo-ha which shocks him. Yoo-ha explains that she got permission from Da-kyung to keep Ji-woo company while she is at work, leaving some time for Ji-woo to chat up with the producers of the show. A while later, the producers leave the restaurant after Ji-woo declines their offer.
Meanwhile, Seo-joon is paying the rent with Yoo-ha. He compliments Yoo-ha’s hair and she states that ever since she pretended to be kidnapped, her mother has been paying a lot more attention to her as she eats spicy ramen with Seo-joon. ..
He teaches Yoo-ha a valuable lesson about how parents too are just trying their level best when it comes to raising kids. Seo-joon also explains that she should not take Da-kyung being busy with work as neglect towards her. The two bond over snacks and games as Seo-joon plays along with her.
Pil-hyun gets a call from the producers that met with Ji-woo. They talk to the company’s CEO in hopes that Seo-joon would collaborate with Ji-woo and take part in their episode about his new restaurant.
Ji-woo declined to be a part of the new show because he doesn’t think it would be a good fit for him and his fans. Seo-joon is disappointed, but Pil-hyun says that they’ll still continue to interact online.
Sung-yoon is working on details for the recently shot advertisement photos with Seo-joon when she starts to feel upset and says that the actor was indeed very handsome. The staff member reminds her of an interview she had signed up for with a big journalist. ..
Ji-woo is on his way home at night and is shocked to learn that Seo-joon is still in town. Thinking that everything is now back to normal after their kiss, Seo-joon has made himself home at Ji-woo’s house and has prepared a meal for the chef.
Ji-woo is angry at the actor and tries to push him away by asking him to be his hook-up partner without any commitments. Seo-joon is taken aback by Ji-woo’s proposal and shares his frustration calling him out on his recent behavior. The chef clarifies that Seo-joon is free to do as it pleases him and reiterates that he will never be getting back together with the actor.
Ji-woo’s house is the setting for a passionate encounter between Seo-joon and Sung-yoon. Ji-woo is upset and leaves Seo-joon’s house, sitting at a spot on the street and drinking soju. Sung-yoon joins him and the two chat up leading Seo-joon to misunderstand that she is interested in him. The designer states that she is not interested in him, but they have friendly banter.
Six people team up to clean a room for the village chief. Seo-joon, who is drunk, joins them and drags Pil-hyun along with him. ..
After work, the six of them gather at Da-kyung’s house for drinks and food. Seo-joon talks to Sung-yoon about her relationship with Ji-woo and mentions being ghosted by their partner. Da-kyung interrupts the conversation by dropping food on Seo-joon, dragging him away from the table. ..
“I did that on purpose to stop him from triggering Ji-woo as Sung-yoon and Ji-woo has ghosted each other in the past when they broke up. Pil-hyun talks to Ji-woo and asks him why he was not willing to work on the show for his restaurant. Da-kyung gets up to offer Pil-hyun another drink and accidentally drops the glass. Ji-woo grabs it quickly preventing it from shattering.”
Seo-joon looks at Ji-woo with a worried look on his face. The chef is aware that shattering glass noise is a trigger for Seo-joon’s mental health issues and the actor is shocked by Ji-woo’s concern for him. Ji-woo states that he was going to get some more drinks from his restaurant but before Sung-yoon can, Seo-joon offers to join him. After they have left and Da-kyung has put Yoo-ha to bed, she, Sung-yoon, and Pil-hyun talk about the funeral of Ji-woo’s parents. ..
Since Ji-woo and Pil-hyun are old friends, he recalls attending the funeral, and Sung-yoon shares how she was not able to do much for him back then. Ji-woo grabs the drinks and asks Seo-joon to say what he accompanied him for.
Ji-woo looks at the photo frame and memories flood back. He remembers when he and Seo-joon were young and happy together. He remembers how they would go out to eat or go on walks together. But then one day, something happened that changed everything. Da-kyung came into the room and Ji-woo couldn’t take it anymore. He started to cry, telling Da-kyung that he didn’t want to be with him anymore.
The Episode Review
The “heat of the moment” kiss between Ji-woo and Seo-joon in “The King of Dramas” episode 13 was not what viewers were expecting. The two had been on a hunt for Yoo-ha and Ji-woo kissed Seo-joon after they captured her. However, it was later revealed that the kiss was just a way to get the two individuals to work together again. ..
Ji-woo continues to take care of Seo-joon even though he is aware of the actor’s trauma. This subtle act shows Seo-joon that Ji-woo is always cautious about his well-being and that he is the only one who truly knows about it.
Pil-hyun and Da-kyung seem to be in a romantic relationship because they are both feeling lonely. Da-kyung is being avoided by her girlfriend, while Pil-hyun is being ignored by his. It will be interesting to see how this relationship develops but it could just be a simple bonding between the two individuals who are in similar situations.
