Romantic Tension Rises Between Kim Hye-yoon and Lomon in 'From Today, I'm Human'

Kim Hye-yoon and Lomon brought a flutter of excitement to viewers as they spent a night together on Mount Seorak, exploring their growing feelings for each other.

On the October 30th episode of SBS's 'From Today, I'm Human' (directed by Kim Jung-kwon, written by Park Chan-young and Jo Ah-young), the fifth episode depicted Eun-ho (played by Kim Hye-yoon) and Kang Si-yeol (played by Lomon) forming an unexpected romantic atmosphere amidst a survival crisis.

In this episode, Eun-ho, who became human after saving Kang Si-yeol from the threat of Jang Do-chul (played by Kim Tae-woo), heads to Mount Seorak in search of another gumiho to find a way to return to her original form. However, her plan to meet the gumiho falls through, and she ends up spending the night in the mountains. Exhausted, Eun-ho falls asleep, while Kang Si-yeol gazes at her with affection, revealing his changing feelings.

After overcoming various obstacles, the two find shelter in a nearby guesthouse, showing a closer bond. Kang Si-yeol tenderly applies a pain relief patch to Eun-ho's sore legs from the hike, and they share deep conversations over beers. Kang Si-yeol, who has lived a disciplined life as a world-class soccer player, confesses his past of suppressing his desires for what he truly wants. Eun-ho shares her loneliness after her fellow gumiho, who became human, left her, allowing them to connect on a deeper level.

Their playful banter further heightened the romantic tension. Kang Si-yeol offers his jacket to Eun-ho, who is cold in the night air, to which she jokingly refers to as "flirting from a human male to a female." When a flustered Kang Si-yeol denies it as mere manners, Eun-ho confidently responds that it's natural to be drawn to her looks and charm, eliciting laughter. As they gradually blend into each other's lives, transcending the boundaries between human and gumiho, anticipation builds for future developments.

With mutual empathy and attraction marking the beginning of a full-fledged romance, viewers are eager to see if Eun-ho will regain her gumiho identity.
