On the episode aired on the 12th, Bae In-hyuk took on the role of Sun Tae-hyung, delivering a passionate performance. 'I'll Give You the Universe' is a romantic comedy about a pair of in-laws who, after a complicated first meeting, find themselves raising their 20-month-old nephew, Woo-joo, together.
In this episode, the intriguing backstory of how Tae-hyung (played by Bae In-hyuk) and Hyun-jin (played by Roh Jeong-eui) ended up waking up in the same bed was revealed. Following this incident, Tae-hyung begins to see Hyun-jin as more than just an in-law.
Tae-hyung recalls Hyun-jin's drunken confession about memories with her sister and sweetly cooks kimchi pancakes, a dish she used to share with her sister on rainy days. Despite his actions, Tae-hyung hides his true feelings by telling his nephew Woo-joo (played by Park Yoo-ho), "I made it out of sympathy," and "If your aunt catches a cold because of the rain, it'll be harder for you."
Later, Tae-hyung goes to pick up Hyun-jin with an umbrella and sees her getting out of Yoon-sung's (played by Park Seo-ham) car. Comparing himself in slippers to the dashing Yoon-sung in a suit, Tae-hyung shows a cute sense of jealousy. Viewers are eager to see how Bae In-hyuk's romance with Roh Jeong-eui will unfold.
Bae In-hyuk first gained attention with his charming looks and stable acting in the web movie 'Love Buzz' and web dramas 'Kiss Scene in Yeonnam-dong' and 'XX'. He has since made his mark in various projects, including 'My Roommate Is a Gumiho', 'Why Oh Soo-jae?', 'Cheer Up', 'The Contract Marriage of Mrs. Park', and 'Check-in Hanyang'.
'I'll Give You the Universe' airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 10:40 PM.
