Yoo Yeon-seok and Moon Ga-young's 'Understanding Love'
Yoo Yeon-seok and Moon Ga-young's 'Understanding Love'
The difference in understanding between Yoo Yeon-seok and Moon Ga-young, who are in love, is causing sadness.

As the relationship between Ha Sang-soo (played by Yoo Yeon-seok) and Ahn Soo-young (played by Moon Ga-young) in the JTBC Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Love Understanding' deepens, viewers' immersion also increases. In particular, at the end of episode 4, the emotions of the two men and women, who showed their sincerity to each other for the first time, exploded, foreshadowing that another variable would come to their relationship. Accordingly, we looked again at the moment when the hearts of Ha Sang-soo and Ahn Soo-young, who were swayed countless times by the waves of love, were mixed, from their respective perspectives.

▶ 'Time of decision' seen from the perspective of Ha Sang-soo, a man who comes with responsibility even in love.
Ha Sang-soo, who pursued a normal life without variables like everyone else, began to feel helplessly excited for his senior Ahn Soo-young, who had looked after him affectionately since he was a new bank employee. Ha Sang-soo, who wanted to support Ahn Soo-young, who did not show it even when things were difficult, seemed to be himself, found the courage to approach her during a business trip to Jeju Island, and even heard her ask for confidence in their relationship.

However, the excitement was short-lived, and a new problem came to Ha Sang-soo, a man who believes that love also comes with responsibility. While listening to the case of a friend who had to break up with reality, I began to think more carefully about my relationship with Ahn Soo-young. After much deliberation, I decided to overcome all conditions and run to Ahn Soo-young, but she had already left Ha Sang-su. Ha Sang-soo was disappointed that Ahn Soo-young did not listen to him just because he hesitated, but he resented her for hiding her true feelings until the end.

To make matters worse, there were rumors that Ahn Soo-young was dating Jeong Jong-hyeon (Jung Ga-ram), and Ha Sang-soo gradually tried to sort out his feelings for her. At the same time, Park Mi-kyung (played by Keum Sae-rok), a junior with completely different conditions, approaches him and shakes his heart. In this situation, Ha Sang-su, who shows his true feelings to Ahn Soo-young, is curious about what choice he will make between reality and love.

▶ 'Time of hesitation' seen from the perspective of 'A woman who does not believe in love' Ahn Soo-young
Ahn Soo-young, who was trapped within the line of reality that she could not overcome no matter how hard she tried, felt a strange attraction towards Ha Sang-soo, a man who had the same dream of an 'ordinary life' and approached she cautiously, unlike other people. Ahn Soo-young, who found Ha Sang-soo's behavior especially awkward in front of her cute, signaled, "I don't like ambiguous relationships," and warmth seemed to come to her lonely life.

On the day when they were supposed to confirm their relationship, Ahn Soo-young saw Ha Sang-soo hesitating to come to her. When Ha Sang-soo even hid the fact that he had come to the meeting place last night by saying, 'I'm sorry I couldn't go,' Ahn Soo-young felt even more disappointed, but also began to understand his hesitation , saying, 'I'm afraid that if he meets me, he will fall away from the ordinary.' Ahn Soo-young, who was hurt by the hesitation of Ha Sang-su, who seemed to love her regardless of any conditions, ended up ignoring him.

However, Ha Sang-soo misunderstood the relationship between Ahn Soo-young and Jeong Jong-hyun and at the same time continued to hang around them, disturbing her heart. Ahn Soo-young, who could no longer bear it, poured out her hidden affection, saying, “Do you really think I didn't have any feelings for Manager Ha?” and Ha Sang-soo hugged her, and the conflicting hearts of the two men and women met for the first time. As a result, the faint link of fate is gradually becoming clearer, and attention is focused on the relationship between Ha Sang-soo and Ahn Soo-young and where their hearts will go.

In this way, 'Understanding Love' depicts a deeply relatable melodrama by showing the realistic face of love from the different perspectives of a man and a woman who understand the same situation. Here, the synergy between Yoo Yeon-seok (played by Ha Sang-soo) and Moon Ga-young (played by Ahn Soo-young), who delicately express the emotions of characters conflicting between love and reality, adds depth to the narrative, raising expectations for the future story.

'Understanding Love', which shows various perspectives on understanding love, the most unstable emotion, will be broadcast at 10:30 pm on the 4th.
