In the drama, a misdialed phone call to top show host Dam Ye-jin begins to subtly change Matthew Lee's heart, hinting at the onset of a romance. We explore the evolution of Matthew Lee's growing emotions.
Initially, Matthew Lee and Dam Ye-jin clashed fiercely during their first encounter on a narrow country road. Dam Ye-jin, unaware that Matthew Lee is the owner of the White Flower Mushroom Farm, boldly and shamelessly stirred up the village, leaving Matthew Lee both amused and wary. He remained cautious and did not reveal his identity.
Despite their frequent confrontations, Matthew Lee grew increasingly frustrated with Dam Ye-jin's persistent visits to Deokpung Village. Their misunderstandings piled up, complicating their relationship further. When Dam Ye-jin discovered Matthew Lee's true identity, she pursued him more aggressively, prompting Matthew Lee to respond coldly and reinforce his defenses.
However, when Dam Ye-jin, who had injured her arm during a scuffle with Matthew Lee, appeared on her show later that evening as if nothing had happened, Matthew Lee found himself unexpectedly concerned. Discovering that the mysterious late-night calls were from Dam Ye-jin marked a turning point in his emotions.
Rushing to her side after hearing a sudden noise during a call, Matthew Lee found Dam Ye-jin in a dangerous state due to her sleepwalking. He stayed by her side, feeling a mix of confusion and concern. Even after returning home, he couldn't stop worrying about her, amplifying his growing affection.
Upon learning that Dam Ye-jin's condition was a side effect of overusing sleeping pills, Matthew Lee offered to give her one packet of medicine a day, saying, "Let's meet every day," a statement that hinted at a confession and heightened the romantic tension.
As the once cold and distant Matthew Lee begins to warm up, viewers are eagerly anticipating how his relationship with Dam Ye-jin will unfold. 'Today's Sales Have Closed' airs on October 6 at 9 PM.
