In the 3rd episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Kkokdu's Season' (written by Kang Yi-heon and Heo Jun-woo/directed by Baek Soo-chan and Kim Ji-hoon/produced by People Story Company and Story TV) that aired yesterday (3rd), Kokdu (played by Kim Jeong-hyeon) is the Hangejeol (played by Lim Soo-hyang). )'s memory of the song related to his mother caught Han Hane-jeol's heart as he was about to leave.
Kokdu still couldn't remember anything about Seolhee (Im Soo-hyang), the woman who became the source of his pain. Hangyeol also did not know who the woman named Seolhee was. The sight of him berating himself under the curse of forgetfulness, repeated again and again, was a sigh of relief because he was a puppet who expected the woman he had waited for with his life to recognize him someday.
Therefore, Kokdu had no choice but to firmly believe that Hangyeol, who manipulates and even rebels against the god of the underworld, is the being who will end his suffering. He soon decided to risk his life for her and devised a 90-day contract love, imitating the doctor's quest, and came up with a plan to free himself from the Creator's clutches.
Meanwhile, Han Hane-jeol is fed up with Kok-du, who not only blocked his future as a doctor but also bothered him by asking him to start dating without even saying sorry. However, I was already caught in the trap of contract love that the puppet had set for me. Kokdu, who demands love with a purpose, and Hangyeol, who believes in fate, continued their sweet and bloody love fight(?), raising the eyebrows of the viewers. It made me unable to take my eyes off until the end to see whether the world's god of the underworld would be able to find the 'evidence of fate' mentioned by Han Je-jeol and come up with an answer to this terrible fate.
Meanwhile, Hangyeol faced an unexpected difficulty. While receiving help from Yeongpo City's grandson Myeong-ja (played by Lee Young-ran) to get out of a contracted relationship by paying 10 years' worth of rent for Wangjin Clinic to Kokdu, her plans were disrupted when she learned of Myeong-ja's secret. Faced with yet another failure, Hangyeol decided to leave behind the dreamlike experiences he had experienced in Yeongpo City and sent a farewell message to Kokdu.
Kokdu was on the verge of losing the woman who would be his only salvation, but his eyes did not waver. He even surprised everyone by giving a firm warning, “You can’t leave me,” and singing a song related to Han Hane-jeol’s mother. Hangyejeol was also greatly shaken by the cold song that rang out in Kokdu's voice. Episode 3 ended with a faint lingering feeling, wondering whether Do Jin-woo (played by Kim Jeong-hyeon) knew about her mother that he didn't know, and whether Han Hane-jeol's mother, who appeared in his memories, might hold some truth.
The 4th episode of MBC's Friday-Saturday drama 'Season of the Kokdu', which is heightening curiosity surrounding the relationship between Kim Jung-hyun and Im Soo-hyang in a knot of increasingly entangled relationships, will be broadcast at 9:50 pm today (4th).
