Brain tumor Choi Yoon-ji confesses straight to Kim Min-kyu. I guess I like you (first, love)



Choi Yoon-ji's courageous confession, who suffers from a brain tumor but does not give up hope, raised viewers' heart rates.

In the sixth episode of tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 「First, For Love」 (directed by Sung Woo-jin, and directed by Yoo Je-won), the identity and story of Lee Ji-an (Yum Jung-ah) and Lee Hyo-ri (Choi Yoon-ji)"Suspicious Neighbor" Jung Moon-hee (Kim Mi-kyung) were revealed, while the Cheonghae village was shaken by the appearance of Lee Yeo-jeong (Oh Na-ra), the ex-wife of Ryu Jeong-seok (Park Hae-joon) and mother of Ryu Bo-hyun (Kim Min-gyu). On top of that, Lee Hyo-ri's 『straightforward confession』, which recognized her feelings toward Ryu Bo-hyun, created more emotion and resonance than excitement.

The reunion between Ryu Jeong-seok and Ryu Bo-hyun and Lee Yeo-jeong was more uncomfortable than welcome. Lee Yo-jeong asked if she could stay with her, saying she would stay in Cheonghae for two or three months on business, and Ryu Jeong-seok was angry at his inconsiderate attitude and avoided her seat. Are you going to meet after 2 years??To Lee Yo-jong, Da's mother, Ryu Bo-hyun "Have you ever thought about that? The idea that something exciting for me might be sudden and embarrassing for someone..." he said honestly. However, it was Ryu Jeong-seok, not Lee Yo-jong, who actually looked at his son. In response, Ryu Bo-hyun said "I'm not a child, so my dad doesn't have to take care of my feelings." I understand my father's mind, saying, "I'll do it on my own."




After Lee Hyo-ri suddenly fell unconscious and was hospitalized, Lee Ji-an was busy playing a guardian role. Meanwhile, the two happened to meet Jung Moon-hee at the hospital. He helped Lee Ji-an by taking care of Lee Hyo-ri skillfully and skillfully in Cheonghae. The hospital moved the room from a multi-person room to a single room, saying that Jung Moon-hee requested it. In fact, Moon was a professor who retired from the hospital where Lee Hyo-ri attends, and her delirium began due to the shock of losing her husband and daughter. After learning everything, Lee Ji-an felt uncomfortable after treating her severely.

Just then, Lee Ji-an and Lee Hyo-ri's mother and daughter found Jeong Moon-hee wandering in the hallway of the hospital. As soon as Jian sees himself, he grabs his hand calling his daughter's name, "Don't worry. You met me. No matter how many people there are, there's nothing to be afraid of if there's just one person you know," he warmed. And that night, the three of them, who spent the night together in Lee Hyo-ri's hospital room, naturally grew close. The next day, Jung Moon-hee went into the clinic together and listened to the test results, soothing anxiety between mother and daughter and her doctor, and replacing the discharge procedure directly, and became a strong 'back'. He said to Lee Ji-an, `There were many things I'm sorry about, and I can't guarantee that I won't do that in the future.'

Ryu Jung-seok came to see Lee Ji-an as if he had been waiting for him as soon as he returned. "I stopped by to see Hyori's face for a moment, but in fact, there was a concern for Lee Ji-an in his awkward words. However, while talking with Ryu Jeong-seok, Lee Ji-an caught the eye of Lee Yeo-jeong in his car. Ryu Jeong-seok left Lee Ji-an's curious eyes, promising the next meeting, saying, `The story is long.' Lee Yo-jeong, who was watching the two, also seemed to be strangely concerned about Lee Ji-an's existence.




Meanwhile, Lee Hyo-ri returned to Cheonghae with more excitement than anyone else. It happened to be Yoo Dong-seok (Taehoon Lee)'s birthday party, and Lee Hyo-ri visited Ryu Bo-hyun to meet him. At that time, Liu Bo-hyun was with 'female friend' Soyeon Kim (Jeong Hoe-rin), and was in a situation where he refused his confession. And when the Soyeon Kim said that the reason was Lee Hyo-ri, Ryu Bo-hyun answered "Hyori is very sick." Lee Hyo-ri, who heard their conversation, felt that Ryu Bo-hyun was kind because of her sick situation, so she felt infinitely small.

Lee Hyo-ri moved away from where the two were. He avoided the rain without an umbrella due to a sudden rain shower, saying, `Now that it's already wet, don't be afraid and you can cross boldly. Would it only make wet feet wet more?It reminded me of Liu Bo-hyun's words that he said " And Lee Hyo-ri, who came out in the rain as if she was determined, called Lee Ji-an and said, `Give up what you want to do, bump it?" asked. Encouraged by his mother's words to hit him unconditionally, he jumped into the rain.

At the end of the broadcast, the two arrived at Ryu Bo-hyun's studio by running in the rain together. Ryu Bo-hyun wiped Lee Hyo-ri's wet hair and face, and the close distance between the two made the viewers' hearts pounding. Above all, 'I know that all my beginnings now are full of anxiety and uncertainty, but I don't want to be frightened. Following the narration of "'I choose the beginning because I want to hit it, ' Whatever it is, it's clear that you make me excited, and I like myself so excited. Lee Hyo-ri's confession ending, "I guess I like you..." gave a breathtaking sense of immersion.
