A palpable tension is brewing between Namkoong Min and Jeon Yeo-bin.
In the fourth episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Our Movie' (directed by Lee Jung-heum, written by Han Ga-eun and Kang Kyung-min), which aired on the 21st at 9:50 PM, the film 'White Love' officially began production. The episode featured a surprising kiss between Lee Je-ha (played by Namkoong Min) and Lee Da-eum (played by Jeon Yeo-bin), keeping viewers on the edge of their seats. The episode's peak viewership rating soared to 4.6%, according to Nielsen Korea.
Lee Da-eum, who visited the production company for a meeting with the lead actor and director, accidentally witnessed a kiss between Lee Je-ha and actress Chae Seo-young (played by Lee Seol). Unable to hide her shock, Da-eum's curiosity about Je-ha's relationship with Seo-young grew when Je-ha abruptly canceled the meeting. Despite Da-eum's probing questions about his feelings for Seo-young, Je-ha continued to evade the topic.
As questions lingered in the minds of Je-ha and Da-eum, 'White Love' progressed with script readings and rituals, accelerating its filming schedule. After a reading session, Je-ha met with Da-eum to discuss script revisions and character emotions, adding depth to the narrative.
A particularly intriguing moment arose when Je-ha and Da-eum disagreed on the portrayal of love between the terminally ill character, Kyu-won, and his counterpart, Hyun-sang. Je-ha, recalling his father who abandoned his sick mother, insisted that love was unnecessary in the film. In contrast, Da-eum expressed her belief in love, causing a rift between Je-ha's cold skepticism and Da-eum's hopeful heart.
The differing views on love between Je-ha and Da-eum continued beyond the reading session. Da-eum subtly questioned the significance of Je-ha and Seo-young's kiss by referencing the script's undefined emotional dynamics between the two protagonists. Unaware of Da-eum's intentions, Je-ha responded with a focus on the film's characters, saying, "That's a good question. Feel free to use me like this as much as you can."
After Je-ha left, Da-eum, staring at the pouring rain, made a decision and headed to Je-ha's house. Surprised by the unexpected visitor and the stormy weather, Je-ha expressed concern for Da-eum, who stood in the rain. Da-eum, with a bright smile, eased Je-ha's worries and led him into the rain.
Enjoying a fleeting moment of relief, Da-eum stood under an umbrella with Je-ha and whispered, "Scene number 30. They share a light kiss," before gently kissing him. She cleverly used Je-ha's earlier suggestion to understand the character's emotions.
Je-ha, gazing at Da-eum, boldly pulled her closer, and their lips met again, leaving viewers captivated. Despite the heavy rain, Je-ha and Da-eum remained focused on each other, leaving audiences eager to discover the meaning behind their kiss in the next episode of 'Our Movie.'
The intense kiss scene between Namkoong Min and Jeon Yeo-bin left a lasting impression, and the next episode of SBS's Friday-Saturday drama 'Our Movie' will air on the 27th at 9:50 PM.
