[Asia Economy Reporter Kang Hyesoo] On the afternoon of the 17th, the broadcast of 'Once Again' depicted Lee Chohee pretending to be Lee Sangyi's fake girlfriend.

Yoon Jaeseok (Lee Sangyi) becomes angry when his mother Choi Yoonjung (Kim Boyeon) tells him to go on a blind date, calling it an "anachronistic idea," while Yoon Gyujin (Lee Sangyeop) feels uneasy about how Lee Jungrok (Alex) has been overly sensitive. Although the two brothers live together, they only speak their minds and do not listen to each other's concerns.

Song Junseon (Oh Daehwan), who was exercising on the rooftop, notices Park Hyoshin's (Ki Dohoon) physique and says, "Wow, your body is pretty good. It’s not the kind of body made by One Day Two Day," showing interest. At that moment, Song Gahi (Oh Yuna), who came to tell him to eat breakfast, likes seeing Park Hyoshin working out. However, she mutters about Park Hyoshin, who is cold to her, "He’s exactly my type visually, but he has no manners."

In the elevator in the morning, Yoon Gyujin meets Lee Jungrok and apologizes, saying, "I’m really sorry about yesterday." He then explains it was because he was drunk. Lee Jungrok listens silently to Yoon Gyujin’s excuse and slyly probes, "Is that really all?"

Instead of going on a blind date, Yoon Jaeseok thinks he can just criticize the person he meets. Then Yoon Gyujin advises, "You should just go and ask for understanding. What you’re doing isn’t polite."

At the blind date, Yoon Jaeseok tells the woman, "My mom pushed me to come. Basically, I’m against marriage. I have no interest in this kind of meeting or marriage at all." The woman replies, "You’re the first person who’s been this indifferent to me, so I’m actually interested." Flustered, Yoon Jaeseok lies, "I have a girlfriend," and the woman suggests meeting that girlfriend once.

On her way home after drinking, Song Gahi runs into Park Hyoshin. When Park Hyoshin says, "Looks like you had a drink," Gahi starts running in place, saying she must not get caught by her parents. Seeing this, Park Hyoshin says, "Getting older doesn’t mean you mature," which annoys Gahi.

On his way home from work, Lee Jungrok meets Nahee and offers to give her a ride home. On the way, Lee Jungrok says, "Wouldn’t it be better to move out? If you’re thinking about it, let me know. My sister is looking for someone to watch her house, and it would be perfect if you moved in." But Nahee refuses, saying, "I’ll try to hold on a little longer."

Song Youngdal (Cheon Hojin) is happy to see Nahee getting out of Lee Jungrok’s car, but Jang Okbun doesn’t think much of it.

Yoon Jaeseok suddenly tells Song Dahi (Lee Chohee), "Let’s be lovers." Surprised, Dahi hears Jaeseok explain, "I need a fake girlfriend for personal reasons," clearing up the misunderstanding. Still, Dahi says, "I really can’t do lies or acting," and Yoon Jaeseok asks, "I’m really good at it, so just sit next to me."

As the rift with her mother Jang Okbun deepens, Nahee finally decides to move out as Lee Jungrok suggested. Song Youngdal, hearing this, gives his permission. Nahee immediately tells Lee Jungrok her situation and decides to move into his sister’s house. At this moment, Yoon Gyujin overhears their conversation.

Before leaving home, Nahee tells her mother, "How long are you going to live like this? I had a miscarriage two and a half years ago. It was because of me." When Nahee leaves, Jang Okbun bursts into tears and comforts her, saying, "How hard it must have been."

Yoon Jaeseok calls Dahi to meet the woman he went on a blind date with again. Just as Yoon Jaeseok becomes nervous, Dahi appears, taking off her glasses and dressed in a completely different, feminine way from before. Yoon Jaeseok is speechless at Dahi’s unexpectedly natural appearance.

KBS2 drama 'Once Again' airs every Saturday and Sunday at 7:55 PM.
