Im Soo Hyang Makes the Heart-Wrenching Decision to Part Ways with Ji Hyun Woo Following Her Accident in "Beauty and Mr. Romantic" | Soompi

In a world where romantic dramas often follow the same well-trodden path—the meet-cute, the misunderstandings, and the inevitable happy ending—the show “Romantic” has decided to throw a spaghetti-sauce stain all over that canvas, giving us a tantalizing glimpse into the turmoil behind the glitz.

This particular episode brings a delightful chaos, involving our heroine Do Ra, who finds herself tangled in a web of love and regret. Picture this: an actress who has hit rock bottom so dramatically that you’d think she was auditioning for a Shakespearean tragedy rather than a standard romance. As if life were a cosmic joke, it’s love—yes, that warm, fuzzy feeling—that tries to pull her back from the edge, courtesy of Pil Seung’s devoted producing director.

Now, let’s talk about the latest stills from this upcoming episode—should I say, a Twitter feed of conflicting emotions? We see Pil Seung’s biological mother, Jang Soo Yeon, played by the luminous Lee Il Hwa, engaging in what can only be described as a high-stakes family reunion. Then, there’s the ever-reliable Kim Sun Young, the adoptive mother, portrayed by Yoon Yoo Sun, who embodies that mix of fierce love and confusion that only a dramatized maternal figure can.

But hold your heartbreak! Let’s not forget Do Ra herself, who wears a look of guilt that could rival a puppy caught raiding the cookie jar. As she musters her courage to share the news with her mothers—that she’s decided to end things with Pil Seung—it’s as if the universe is conspiring to give us all the feels. And just like that, our romantic hopefuls find themselves teetering on the edge of an emotional rollercoaster, one where every twist and turn leaves you breathless yet aching for more.

Set your clocks for September 21 at 7. This is the kind of episode where you’ll want your tissues and your chocolate ice cream close at hand—because let’s be honest, sometimes love stories are just as much about heartbreak as they are about the fleeting sweetness of romance. Who knew that a drama could throw you a lifeline while simultaneously inviting you to drown in your own feelings? Oh, “Romantic,” you clever minx.
