The 8th episode of JTBC's weekend drama 'Surely Tomorrow,' aired on the 28th, achieved its highest ratings yet, with 4.4% in the metropolitan area and 4.2% nationwide, a slight increase from the 7th episode's 3.3% (according to Nielsen Korea's paid household standards).
Ahead of her first day at work, Lee Gyeong-do brought in Kim Choong-won (played by Choi Deok-moon), Seo Ji-woo's longtime chauffeur, to ease her discomfort with strangers. Despite grumbling, Lee Gyeong-do personally took photos for Seo Ji-woo's official press release, capturing her on her way to work.
Buoyed by Lee Gyeong-do's encouragement, Seo Ji-woo steadily took on her responsibilities as the executive director of Jarim Apparel. Despite subtle dismissals and resistance from the executives, she courageously advanced, showcasing a newfound resilience.
Amidst this, Seo Ji-woo and Lee Gyeong-do traveled to Malaga, Spain, to recruit designer Bella Jin (played by Lim Sang-a), balancing work and romance. With help from Dongwoon Ilbo's manager Jin Han-gyeong (played by Kang Mal-geum), they tracked down Bella Jin's accommodation, exploring Malaga together.
During their exploration, an unexpected encounter occurred when Lee Gyeong-do found himself in a standoff over a scarf with a woman at a market. Just as Seo Ji-woo joined the fray, it was revealed that the woman was none other than Bella Jin, surprising both Lee Gyeong-do and Seo Ji-woo.
Meanwhile, Lee Gyeong-do discovered that a drug with potential Alzheimer's side effects was found in Seo Ji-yeon's (played by Lee El) coffee, promptly informing her. Seo Ji-yeon, bewildered by her husband's unimaginable actions, recalled her husband Kang Min-woo (played by Kim Woo-hyung) meeting her doctor on her behalf, leading to growing suspicions.
Notably, Lee Gyeong-do had previously learned from Seo Ji-yeon that Kang Min-woo was the source of a tip-off about Jo Jin-eon's (played by Oh Dong-min) drug use and infidelity. Consequently, Lee Gyeong-do discreetly proposed a follow-up report to his junior, Kim Doo-jin (played by Han Eun-sung).
