In the 11th episode of tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 「First, For Love」 (directed by Sung Woo-jin and directed by Yoo Je-won), Lee Hyo-ri (Choi Yoon-ji)'s brain tumor surgery was decided, and those who comforted and supported him and Lee Ji-an (Yeom Jung-ah) were depicted. Ryu Jeong-seok (Park Hae-joon) and Ryu Bo-hyun (Kim Min-gyu), as well as the small hearts of the residents of Cheonghae Village, came together to give great strength.
It was fortunate that Lee Hyo-ri's surgery, which had been waiting without promise, was accelerated. However, Lee Ji-an felt complicated in her head and frustrated in her heart for some reason. Jeong Moon-hee (Kim Mi-kyung) reassured him, patting him as if he knew all the worries and fears even if he didn't say, "I'll be next to you, so let's keep him strong."
More worried about Lee Ji-an than anyone else was her daughter, Lee Hyo-ri, who was involved in the surgery. Lee Hyo-ri met with Ryu Jung-seok on a date as an excuse to announce the operation news, and returned the words, "If you summarize your mother's life in one word, you are struggling."" Ryu Jung-seok visited Lee Ji-an, hugged him without saying anything, and gave him something to lean on not to cry.
Ryu Bo-hyun pondered what she could do for Lee Hyo-ri. When Lee Hyo-ri, who pretended to be okay, honestly said she was worried and afraid ahead of the surgery, Ryu Bo-hyun said she was afraid that her clumsy comfort or support would be a burden. "But that's one thing for sure. I love you the most after my aunt (Lee Ji-an) in the world, he confessed his unchanging heart.
Lee Hyo-ri headed to the hospital with Lee Ji-an, Ryu Jung-seok, and Jung Moon-hee for preoperative hospitalization. Lee Ji-an felt grateful that in a world that seemed to be left alone with Lee Hyo-ri, there are now people including Ryu Jeong-seok and Moon-hee who give visible 'love'. And more than ever, I missed my friend Han Chorong (Geum Min-kyung). I couldn't go for a while because I think Lee Hyo-ri's mother is not good enough, but Lee Ji-an courageously visited his charnel house after a long time. The desperate tears shed in front of Han Chorong's photo, saying, `Please protect our filial piety,' made even the viewers cry.
Finally, Lee Hyo-ri's surgery day has come. Lee Sook (Yang Yu-jin), who had been laughing and joking with Lee until the previous day, burst into tears as soon as she saw Lee Hyo-ri's shorter hair. Kim Sun-young (Kim Sun-young) and Ryu Bo-hyun, whose bodies are in Cheonghae and their hearts are with him, shedding tears secretly, which caused regret.
Above all, Lee Ji-an, who tried hard to act determined and calm until the operating room door was closed at the end of the broadcast, could not stop crying for a long time after seeing Lee Hyo-ri's video message. "There's only one thing that's taken for granted in my life. The only thing that is natural in my life is the fact that my mom is my mom, so I wanted to say that I'm so glad and happy." Lee Hyo-ri's confession toward her mother, 'First, Love', left a deep and deep lingering impression on the small screen.
The 11th episode of 'First, For Love' aired on this day ranked first in the same time period, including cables and general service, with an average of 4.4% and 5.0% based on households in the metropolitan area and 3.9% and 4.5% based on households nationwide. (Based on Nielsen Korea paid platform)
