[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 14th, JTBC's "Itaewon Class" depicted Park Saeroyi (played by Park Seojoon) gradually developing feelings for Jo Iseo (played by Kim Dami) as a woman.

That day, Park Saeroyi quietly covered Jo Iseo, who had fallen asleep resting her head on the office desk, with the coat he was wearing. However, when Jo Iseo woke up during the moment Park Saeroyi was covering her with the coat and said, "Hmm... I'm really touched," he became flustered. When he tried to take back the coat he had covered her with, Jo Iseo tightly hugged the coat, saying, "I'm cold."

Park Saeroyi informed Jo Iseo, Kang Minjung (played by Kim Hye-eun), and Lee Hojin (played by Lee Dawit) about Chairman Jang's condition and pushed for the chairman's dismissal. To this end, Jo Iseo was appointed as an outside director.

Meanwhile, Park Saeroyi once again set boundaries with Jo Iseo, saying, "Don't do those things to me." He said, "Stop saying things like you like me," and firmly stated, "I clearly told you I don't see you as a woman." When Jo Iseo showed a lonely expression at his words, Saeroyi suddenly stood up and said with slight anger, "Why should I feel sorry to you?" He continued, "I don't know why I have to feel this uncomfortable feeling," bothering Jo Iseo. Seeing this, Jo Iseo suddenly approached Saeroyi and said, "Do you know why?" Then she smiled and said, "Maybe I feel like a woman to you a little."

At a cafe, Park Saeroyi met Oh Sua. Sua asked, "Do you still like me?" and Saeroyi replied, "What? Suddenly? How many times do I have to say it?" Noticing Saeroyi's changed reaction from before, Sua looked straight at him and said, "Say you like me," but Saeroyi hesitated to answer. At that moment, Jang Geunsu (played by Kim Donghee) and Jo Iseo entered the cafe, and upon seeing Park Saeroyi and Oh Sua together, Jo Iseo left.

After hesitating for a moment, Park Saeroyi got up to follow Jo Iseo, but Oh Sua grabbed his hand and said, "Don't go." She then asked, "Iseo, do you like her?" but Saeroyi avoided answering.

On the day of the shareholders' meeting, Jo Iseo, who looked unwell before departure, eventually collapsed. After taking Jo Iseo to the hospital, Park Saeroyi attended the Jangga shareholders' meeting. However, since Jang Geunsu had already secured overseas shareholders, Jo Iseo's outside director appointment was rejected. After the shareholders' meeting, Chairman Jang approached Park Saeroyi and emphasized, "I told you. I can't wait long."

More concerned about Jo Iseo's health than the rejection at the shareholders' meeting, Park Saeroyi immediately went to the hospital. Despite being told it was just overwork, Park Saeroyi told Jo Iseo, "If you move around in the hospital, you're fired," urging her to rest.

After leaving the hospital, while talking with Choi Seungkwon (played by Ryu Kyungsoo), Park Saeroyi realized that he was thinking of Jo Iseo as a woman. Hearing the words in his heart, "It's all... you," Park Saeroyi drove to the hospital. There, he encountered Jang Geunsu.

Park Saeroyi told Jang Geunsu that Jo Iseo was "a woman worth risking his life for," and said, "She's the woman my younger brother likes. Even if feelings arise, I have to suppress them. It would be betrayal, a terrible thing. That's what I was going to do," confusing Jang Geunsu. Park Saeroyi continued, "Betrayal. Terrible act. You can curse me or hit me. I like Iseo," confessing his feelings.

Later, Park Saeroyi visited Jo Iseo's hospital room and confronted Jang Geunwon (played by Ahn Bohyun) after learning that Jo Iseo had been kidnapped. When Jang Geunsu, who came along, got agitated and rushed at Jang Geunwon, a car came speeding to hit Jang Geunsu. At that moment, Park Saeroyi pushed Jang Geunsu away and was hit by the car instead. Bleeding and collapsing, Park Saeroyi silently repeated, thinking of Jo Iseo, "Right now... I miss you so much."
