Shin Hae Sun and Lee Jin Uk: Former Lovers Reignite Their Romance in "Dear Hyeri" | Soompi

Ah, the enchanting chaos of love and life unfolds once again in the upcoming episode of “Dear Hyeri.” This charming healing romance drama takes us through the tumultuous world of Joo Eun Ho, portrayed with remarkable sincerity by Shin Hae Sun. Picture this: a dedicated news announcer grappling with dissociative identity disorder. Quite the cocktail of emotions, don't you think? All this stems from the tragic disappearance of her younger sister and, if that's not enough, a breakup with her long-term boyfriend Jung Hyun Oh, played by the ever-dashing Lee Jin Uk.

Now, let’s talk about Shin Hae Sun's dual roles here. She masterfully swings between the poised and polished Joo Eun Ho, who, let’s just say, has the charisma of a wet sponge when it comes to presence, and her other persona, the endearing parking attendant Joo Hye Ri. Meanwhile, our handsome announcer Jung Hyun Oh has the kind of charm that could sell ice to an Eskimo, and then there’s Kang Hoon as the sweetly innocent Kang Joo Yeon, who inevitably catches Joo Hye Ri’s eye, leading to your classic ‘love-at-first-sight’ cliché.

Our beloved Eun Ho recently found herself at a workshop that unwittingly stirred up feelings of guilt over her sister’s disappearance. Imagine the scene: trying to focus on presenting the news, when suddenly, panic grips her like a vice. In an effort to save the day, Hyun Oh swoops in, leading her to the elevator where—quick spoiler alert—an impassioned kiss acts as both a remedy and a promise that all isn’t lost in their relationship.

In an homage to the long eight years they’ve shared, the stills from a dating scene showcase the couple opting for a humble soup restaurant. You know, because after eight years, who needs charm when you have a delicious bowl of warmth? The practicality of the setting seems to underscore their journey together. Over dinner, Hyun Oh casually opens up a newspaper to share the latest scoop with Eun Ho, just your typical husband material moment imbued with affection—providing a deliciously relatable snapshot for viewers. Who wouldn’t swoon at that?

Let’s not forget their joyous supermarket date. This scene is a delightful reminder that after four years of turmoil, love can still feel as fresh as a ripe peach. Eun Ho lights up with happiness, savoring each moment while Hyun Oh gives her those playful, glances that scream mischief and affection. It's a tableau of love that evokes nostalgia and longing in equal measure.

The production team, with palpable excitement, teases us that post-elevator kiss, Eun Ho and Hyun Oh’s dynamics are set to shift dramatically. “Viewers can look forward to witnessing the genuine chemistry that develops between long-term couples,” they promise. And yes, as if we weren't curious enough, the anticipation for more heartfelt moments just amps up in a delicious crescendo.

Mark your calendars, folks! The next episode of “Dear Hyeri” airs on October 7 at 10 p.m. KST. You wouldn’t want to miss this rollercoaster of romance and real-life dilemmas, served with a side of humor and heart. Here’s to love, life, and all its deliciously complex layers!
