“Shouldn’t Have Kissed!” Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin’s emotions surge.
SBS’s Wednesday-Thursday drama “Shouldn’t Have Kissed!” (written by Ha Yoon-ah, Tae Kyung-min/directed by Kim Jae-hyun, Kim Hyun-woo/produced by Studio S, Samhwa Networks) is driving explosive buzz at home and abroad with a thrilling love square. It has taken the No. 1 spot globally on the OTT platform Netflix (Non-English 11/24~11/30). After ranking No. 3 globally in its first week and No. 2 in its second, it reached No. 1 in its third week on air, proving its overwhelming popularity.
Earlier, Gong Ji-hyeok witnessed Kim Sun-woo and Yoo Ha-young kissing and misunderstood them as having an affair. To keep Go Da-rim from getting hurt, he set out to protect her. Then, Go Da-rim collapsed right in front of Gong Ji-hyeok. Carrying her on his back to the ER, Gong Ji-hyeok hung up on a call from Kim Sun-woo that came to Go Da-rim’s phone. And he murmured, “I wish I were the only one by your side. I think I must be losing my mind.” It was a moment that sent viewers’ dopamine soaring.
Now that Gong Ji-hyeok has realized his love, big changes are expected in his inwardly tormented romance toward Go Da-rim. Anticipation among passionate viewers is soaring. In this context, on December 3, the “Shouldn’t Have Kissed!” production team draws attention by releasing, right after the ending of Episode 6, photos of Gong Ji-hyeok and Go Da-rim gazing at each other with deep affection.
In the released photos, Gong Ji-hyeok keeps watch by the side of the sleeping Go Da-rim in the ER. The way he looks at her and every small gesture of caring reveal his aching heart. Then, Go Da-rim opens her eyes and looks at Gong Ji-hyeok with a seemingly startled expression. Earlier, she had said she no longer wanted to be a burden to him. Curiosity builds over how she will react and what she will feel when she wakes and sees Gong Ji-hyeok.
Regarding this, the “Shouldn’t Have Kissed!” production team said, “In Episode 7 airing today (the 3rd), Gong Ji-hyeok and Go Da-rim are swept into a stormy whirlpool of emotions by their love for each other. Though both think in their heads that they shouldn’t, they become unable to control the feelings that draw them together. This will render their romance even more heartrending and heighten viewer immersion.”
They added, “As scenes requiring wide-ranging emotional expression continue, the delicate yet deep acting of the two leads, Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin, will stand out even more. On set, the two discussed the protagonists’ fluctuating emotions and crafted even more dramatic moments. We ask for your continued interest and anticipation.”
The story of Jang Ki-yong and Ahn Eun-jin, trapped in an uncontrollable whirlpool of love, can be seen in Episode 7 of SBS’s Wednesday-Thursday drama “Shouldn’t Have Kissed!” airing at 9 p.m. tonight, Wednesday, December 3.
