'Mom, friend, son' Is there a male friend' like Jung Hae-in.

tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Mother's Friend Son' (played by Shin Ha-eun, directed by Yoo Je-won) caused a heated response as it hit the turning point of the relationship. The ratings in the last six episodes continued to top the list at the same time, breaking their own record with an average of 7.6% for households in the metropolitan area and 6.8% for households nationwide (based on Nielsen Korea's paid platform). The TV-OTT drama proved its popularity as it came in second place in the topical category, while Jung Hae-in (1st) and Jung So-min (2nd) proved their popularity for the third consecutive week in the topical category of the cast.

Choi Seung-hyo (Jeong Hae-in) revealed his long-standing crush on Bae Seok-ryu (Jeong So-min), signaling a change in relationship. When a time capsule letter was discovered to Bae Seok-ryu, Choi Seung-hyo overlooked it as a prank in his school days. But after that day, he distanced himself from the pomegranate and drew a firm line that he could no longer live like the old days. Bae Seok-ryu visited Choi Seung-hyo again with a lot of disappointment, and "Then and now, I think I'm going to go crazy because of you!"I sensed more than a friend's feelings for him from him bursting into a suppressed heart. As a result, we looked back on Choi Seung-hyo's unrequited love timeline and emotional changes ahead of the turning point of the relationship.

▶ The start of unrequited love! The moment I realized how I felt since the first time I met Bae Seok-ryu

Two people who remembered and knew each other's dark history and many firsts. For Choi Seung-hyo, Bae Seok-ryu was nothing more than a friend, literally nothing more than 'Mom's friend's daughter'. However, he had a moment when he became aware of his special feelings about Bae Seok-ryu. Only Bae Seok-ryu came to support him in the match ahead of his selection for the national team as a swimmer. In the time capsule's letter "I realized that my mom and dad didn't come to my competition, and when I saw the boy who gave up the test and cheered me on. The phrase "I've never liked Bae Seok-ryu since I met her" signaled the beginning of a long crush, causing them to become overly immersed in their narratives.

▶ The real reason why Choi Seunghyo went to the U.S.? Failed to confess at the wrong timing

However, as they were close, the confession was even more frightening and hesitant. Choi Seung-hyo, who hid his mind throughout his school years, decided to take courage only when he became an adult. Choi Seung-hyo's heart shook quickly when he left to meet Bae Seok-ryu, who is studying in the United States, and saw him in his arms as he was drunk while drinking together in the dormitory. Then the next morning, looking at Bae Seok-ryu, who fell asleep, Choi Seung-hyo's sound of his mind "Silly, "Why did I come to America?" reminded him of his question, "What did I want to do most?" drew excitement. But Choi Seung-hyo found out that he had a boyfriend. The timing of the deviation could not be reversed only by courage, and his inability to even try confession caused regret.

▶ Heart Unsealed with Time Capsule! Second, self-awareness and denial of unrequited love

There was no progress in the relationship between Choi Seung-hyo and Bae Seok-ryu. In the meantime, Choi Seung-hyo recalled the time capsule that the Three Musketeers of Hyereung-dong buried together during their school days. Decades later, the unsealed time capsule summoned memories of a crush that had been buried in the past and forgotten. As a result, Choi Seung-hyo became aware of his old feelings toward Bae Seok-ryu again. He tried to ignore and ignore his feelings, saying "The emotions have already passed the statute of limitations.' But I was excited by his eyes, which had been just a friend for some time, and it bothered me that I still loved my ex-fiancé. His 'false love' in uncontrollable confusion made viewers feel anxious.

▶ The fact that I have no choice but to like Bae Seok-ryu, the awakening caused by my ex-girlfriend Jang Tae-hee

It was former lover Jang Tae-hee (Seo Ji-hye) who woke up to Choi Seung-hyo. With Bae Seok-ryu and Atelier employees visiting his studio together, Jang Tae-hee found a strange figure in Choi Seung-hyo that she had not seen during her relationship with him. I denied the fact that the pomegranate ran to me as soon as he accidentally broke the jar and got angry like a fire, but "You don't know how you look when you see Pomegranate, do you? When Pomegranate laughs, Choi Seung-hyo himself could recognize what the phrase "You just laugh along with him." I realized that I didn't just like Bae Seok-ryu, but that I had no choice but to like him, and I felt a certain emotion that had never existed before in his eyes and smile.

Meanwhile, attention is being paid to whether Choi Seung-hyo, who revealed his old sincerity to Bae Seok-ryu with a confession rather than a confession amid the confusion, will be able to end his unrequited love. The seventh episode of tvN's Saturday-Sunday drama 'Mother, Friend, Son', which foretells the full-fledged romance of Choi Seung-hyo and Bae Seok-ryu, will air at 9:20 p.m. on the 7th.
