tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 『Yalmish Love" (directed by Kim Garam, script by Jung Yeo-rang, planned and produced Studio Dragon, Studio & New, and artist company) premiered on the 3rd with high expectations. The dynamic development surrounding Lim Hyun-joon (Lee Jung-jae), who met "Good Detective Kang Pil-gu" and Wi Jung-shin (Im Ji-yeon), a passionate reporter who was caught up in a huge corruption case, captivated viewers at once. Above all, the struggle ending of the national actor Lim Hyun-joon, who was humiliated by live panties due to his spirit, made us look forward to the story to be played in the future.
The audience's response was also enthusiastic. The ratings for the first episode of 'Mean Love' averaged 5.5% to 6.5% based on households nationwide and 5.2% to 6.5% based on households in the metropolitan area, marking a good start as it ranked first at the same time, including cables and general service.

On this day's broadcast, the upheaval that came to Lim Hyun-joon's daily life while running a printing shop was depicted. Lim Hyun-joon is delivering a script produced for his past lover Kwon Se-na (played by Oh Yeon-seo). Kwon Se-na said to Lim Hyun-jun, who sacrificed for his success "Why did you come here? Did you want me to feel guilty?," he said in a brazen manner. Im Hyun-jun was surprised by an unknown drunk who appeared from the back of the car for a while even though he recalled his past with Kwon Se-na. The drunken man was a journalist who came to meet with a lawmaker who was involved in the redevelopment corruption case. Due to the spirit that they reported to the police, they headed to the police station from their first meeting. Lim Hyun-joon, who cleared up the misunderstanding and left the police station, held a business card of prestige that read 'Thank you'.
Lim Hyun-joon, who returned to his daily life after a commotion, came a customer of fate. Park Byung-ki (played by Jeon Seong-woo), who was in charge of printing the script for the graduation work Good Detective Kang Pil-gu, was the main character. Lim Hyun-joon kicked his tongue at Park Byung-ki, who is strict about everything from minor typos to fonts. However, Park Byung-ki's scenario, which was unfolded with a mockery that the title was also strange, made Lim Hyun-jun's day 'Innocent'. Park Byung-ki, who recalled that Lim Hyun-joon was an actor, visited the printing house again to cast him. Lim Hyun-joon, who hesitated about the pride left despite the storm's courtship regardless of time and place, eventually moved his mind at the recommendation of his first manager, Hwang (Choi Gui-hwa), and Park Byung-ki's earnest text message.
Thus, Im Hyun-jun was revived splendidly with the work of fate. The declaration of war "Let's never meet again" overshadowed the declaration of war "Good Detective Kang Pil-gu", which shouted at director Park Byung-ki, who had no compromise, was a great success. "Good Detective Kang Pil-gu" continued into season 4 and received nearly 30 percent of viewers, putting Lim Hyun-joon on the list of national actors. The life of Lim Hyun-joon, who faced a big twist with his colorful romantic comedy in a black-and-white documentary. However, Lim Hyun-jun was full of dissatisfaction with the reality that only Kang Pil-gu was playing.

At the same time, Sports Eun-sung's entertainment department, which will be a new workplace of prestige, was preparing for the red carpet coverage of the awards ceremony. Wi Jung-shin also headed to the red carpet to meet Lee Dae-ho (played by Kim Jae-chul), chairman of Eunsung Group. And the spirit of prestige, which left the ranks of reporters and headed toward Lee Dae-ho, faced an unexpected event. Lim Hyun-joon, who was entering the red carpet, mistook him for threatening Lee Dae-ho, and rushed in with a righteous 'Kang Pil-gu' nosy. Lim Hyun-joon, who slipped down the stairs due to the embarrassed root of his spirit, faced the biggest crisis of his life with his pants torn and his underwear broadcasted live. Attention is focused on the period of adaptation to the entertainment department, which has been properly twisted even before the official work of the entertainment department.
'Umish Love' was a different approach from the first broadcast. Director Kim Garam's sensuous production was added to the witty script of writer Jeong Yeo-rang, which was proven to be "Dr. Cha Jung-sook", which doubled the genre's fun. Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon, who turned their expectations into conviction, were also outstanding. Lee Jung-jae's enthusiastic performance, which perfectly digested the thrilling signature action scene in the play, from his pleasant and seasoned comic performance, which is not even ready to break down as national actor Lim Hyun-joon, poured favorable reviews. Lim Ji-yeon, who turned into a passionate reporter, also showed her true value. In particular, the synergy between Lee Jung-jae and Lim Ji-yeon, who skillfully unraveled the unpredictable relationship between Lim Hyun-joon and Wi Sung-shin, boosted the fun to the fullest.
Meanwhile, the 2nd episode of tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Illustrated Love' will air at 8:50 p.m. today (4th).
