Love Blossoms in 'Our Movie': Namkoong Min and Jeon Yeo-bin's Heartfelt Connection Captivates Viewers

Namkoong Min realizes his love for Jeon Yeo-bin.

In the 8th 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 5th, viewers were left breathless as Namkoong Min's character, Lee Je-ha, defined his feelings for Jeon Yeo-bin's character, Lee Da-eum, as love and sealed it with a kiss. The episode garnered a 3.8% viewership rating in the metropolitan area, with peak ratings reaching 4.9%, according to Nielsen Korea.

Lee Je-ha, shocked by the revelation of Lee Da-eum's terminal illness, quickly followed Chae Seo-young (played by Lee Seol) to persuade her. Chae Seo-young pointed out Je-ha's true feelings, saying, "You don't want to protect the movie; you want to protect Lee Da-eum."

Despite his childhood memories making the concept of love unfamiliar, Je-ha struggled to confirm his feelings for Da-eum, leading to deep contemplation. Those around him noticed his change, but no one could answer his curiosity about how and when to define love.

A chance for Je-ha and Da-eum to grow closer arose when they visited Seoul together during a filming break. They spent time visiting a hospital, a flower shop, and Je-ha's mother's columbarium. Upon learning it was Da-eum's birthday, Je-ha gifted her a bouquet, bringing a smile to her face.

Je-ha candidly shared his feelings with Da-eum, revealing the hidden secrets of the movie 'White Love' and his mother's intended message. His words reflected a growing affection he hadn't realized.

After taking Da-eum home, Je-ha recited lines from the male protagonist in his mother's draft of 'White Love,' pondering whether to call his feelings love and if he deserved to feel such emotions.

As they returned to the set, smiles lingered on both Je-ha and Da-eum's faces, hinting at their mutual feelings. Da-eum, learning from Jung Eun-ho (played by Jung Hwi) that Je-ha's gaze was always on her, invited him to watch the sunset together.

Responding to Da-eum's date invitation, Je-ha ran to her without hesitation, capturing viewers' hearts. Under the fiery sunset, Je-ha expressed his feelings with a brief kiss, saying, "I like you, but it feels wrong to like you, and it's not a misunderstanding because I know it now."

Da-eum reciprocated Je-ha's kiss, confirming their mutual love. Despite knowing their time is limited, Je-ha and Da-eum's tender gazes left a lasting impression, leaving viewers curious about the future of their eternal love.

Meanwhile, Namkoong Min was born in 1978, and Jeon Yeo-bin in 1989. The heartfelt romance between Namkoong Min and Jeon Yeo-bin continues in the 9th episode of SBS's 'Our Movie,' airing on the 11th at 9:50 PM.
