Rising stars No Jeong-eui and Lee Chae-min find themselves entangled in a web of dreams and love in the MBC drama 'Bunny and the Boys.' Despite a rocky start with ratings dipping to 0% for three consecutive episodes, the show saw a slight increase to 1.2% in its ninth episode.
The latest episode, aired on November 9th, introduced subtle tensions in the seemingly perfect lives of Bunny (played by No Jeong-eui) and Hwang Jae-yeol (played by Lee Chae-min).
Bunny and Hwang Jae-yeol's relationship blossomed as they celebrated small victories like successfully enrolling in the same class and collecting stamps on their couple coffee coupons. Their love story seemed idyllic, with over 100 days of happiness.
However, the return of Bunny's ex-boyfriend, Go Bong-soo (played by Kim Hyun-mok), disrupted their peace. His jealousy led him to destroy Bunny's art project, causing a ripple effect that shook Bunny, Hwang Jae-yeol, and Cha Ji-won (played by Jo Jun-young). Thanks to Cha Ji-won's timely intervention, further damage was prevented, but the incident left a lasting impact.
Bunny faced a series of misfortunes, including the uncertainty of her scholarship and her father's financial troubles. Meanwhile, Hwang Jae-yeol grew concerned over the rumors linking Bunny and Cha Ji-won as a couple, further straining their relationship.
Cha Ji-won, despite appearing indifferent, still harbored feelings for Bunny. He found himself protecting her from Go Bong-soo's threats, which did not go unnoticed by Hwang Jae-yeol.
The internal conflicts reached a climax with a tense confrontation among the three. Bunny, overwhelmed by her struggles, found solace in Cha Ji-won's shoulder while waiting for a taxi, a scene witnessed by Hwang Jae-yeol, who had rushed to her side.
As Bunny and Hwang Jae-yeol face new challenges involving their future and unresolved feelings, viewers are left wondering how Bunny will navigate these obstacles. With Cha Ji-won attempting to move on and Hwang Jae-yeol striving to focus on Bunny, the drama continues to captivate audiences.
