Love Blossoms Between Bae In-hyuk and Roh Jeong-eui in 'I'll Give You the Universe'

The hearts of Bae In-hyuk and Roh Jeong-eui finally connect in the latest episode of tvN's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'I'll Give You the Universe'. Previously, viewers expressed concerns that the storyline of the main characters was overshadowed by the excessive focus on the supporting male character, disrupting the show's immersion.

In the episode aired on the 5th, viewers saw Seon Tae-hyung (played by Bae In-hyuk) and Woo Hyun-jin (played by Roh Jeong-eui) return to their daily lives after ending their cohabitation. Woo Hyun-jin, realizing her feelings after sensing Seon Tae-hyung's absence, confessed her true emotions. The episode ended with the two sharing a heartfelt kiss, hinting at the beginning of a mutual romance and leaving viewers excited.

Both Seon Tae-hyung and Woo Hyun-jin felt each other's absence. Seon Tae-hyung returned to his new home after leaving Yuseong Villa, but despite the long-awaited move, he felt lonely in the quiet and empty house. The traces of Seon Woo-joo (played by Park Yoo-ho) in the house made Seon Tae-hyung feel even more empty. Woo Hyun-jin was also troubled, finding her empty room unfamiliar and worrying about Seon Tae-hyung, who left to protect her and Seon Woo-joo. Seon Tae-hyung's attempts to push Woo Hyun-jin away, despite his true feelings, evoked sympathy.

After Seon Tae-hyung left, an awkward tension lingered between the two. They set aside their complicated emotions to conduct an internal interview announcing the successful outcome of the GloMarket project. When asked how she overcame difficult moments during her first project, Woo Hyun-jin candidly shared, "I just wanted to go home quickly. I'd whine, cry a lot, and somehow feel better," seemingly expressing gratitude towards Seon Tae-hyung. His interview response was also directed at her, recalling moments of mutual comfort, "Someone told me that sometimes you have to go all the way to know if what's left is regret or true feelings." Their exchanged glances were filled with affection.

That day, Woo Hyun-jin also clarified her feelings towards Park Yoon-sung. Although she appreciated his kindness, such as surprising her at Seon Woo-joo's presentation and helping with morning drop-offs, it no longer felt purely grateful. Baek Se-yeon's (played by Choi Gyu-ri) words made Woo Hyun-jin ponder deeply: kindness from someone you don't have feelings for can feel burdensome, while from someone you like, it feels reassuring. Park Yoon-sung's third date proposal followed, but Woo Hyun-jin realized her feelings for him weren't romantic.

On their promised last date, Woo Hyun-jin visited the orphanage where Park Yoon-sung spent his childhood. Even while spending time together, her mind was filled with thoughts of Seon Tae-hyung. Seeing a lonely child at the orphanage, she imagined Seon Tae-hyung's childhood and his words echoed in her mind. Unexpectedly, she learned that Seon Tae-hyung was leaving for the U.S. that evening. Realizing her feelings, she rushed to meet him, shaking off Park Yoon-sung's hand and heading straight to the airport.

At the same time, Seon Tae-hyung arrived at the airport with Amy Choo (played by Jin Seo-yeon) to dissuade Jo Moo-saeng (played by Koo Sung-hwan) from going to the U.S. Unaware of this, Woo Hyun-jin searched the airport for Seon Tae-hyung. Upon finding him, she poured out her heartfelt emotions without giving him a chance to explain, confessing how much she worried, felt empty, and constantly thought of him. She confessed, "Let's face the rain together. I feel like I can do it with you because I like you," and kissed him. Seon Tae-hyung responded with a kiss, elevating the excitement to its peak.
