Ji Sang-ryeol Promises to Become a 'Cat' for Shin Bo-ram, Rekindling Romance on 'Mr. House Husband 2'
Broadcaster Ji Sang-ryeol has reaffirmed his feelings for host Shin Bo-ram on the KBS2TV entertainment show 'Mr. House Husband 2'.
The episode, aired on the 1st, depicted Ji Sang-ryeol's misunderstanding in his relationship with Shin Bo-ram, who is 16 years his junior. Ji Sang-ryeol had previously upset Shin Bo-ram with remarks about menopause and telling her to 'fly away'. During their first meeting at a company dinner, when Shin Bo-ram asked for his number, Ji Sang-ryeol awkwardly responded with 'Why is the phone ringing?', embarrassing her. Although Ji Sang-ryeol intended it as shyness, his actions made it seem like the relationship was over, leading him to lose his appetite in distress.
To comfort Ji Sang-ryeol, Kim Jong-min and Park Seo-jin visited his home. Lee Yo-won also inquired about Eun Ji-won's slip of the tongue. Ji's sister-in-law encouraged him to try something, but he remained in bed, seemingly resigned.
Park Seo-jin, admitting he had no experience with heartbreak, struggled to empathize. Kim Jong-min, as a married man, emphasized the importance of expressing emotions and advised Ji Sang-ryeol to communicate more. Lee Yo-won also suggested frequently saying 'I love you'. However, Park Seo-jin reacted sternly, calling insincere expressions of love 'trash', a sentiment echoed by Eun Ji-won. Lee Yo-won explained that frequent expressions could foster deeper feelings, but Park Seo-jin maintained that one sincere 'I love you' was better than a hundred empty ones.
After the conversation, Ji Sang-ryeol realized his jokes could hurt Shin Bo-ram. Responding to her wish that he 'speak more prettily', Ji Sang-ryeol promised with aegyo, 'If you tell me to become a cat, I'll become a cat. Meow'.
Ultimately, Ji Sang-ryeol hinted at a rekindled romantic spark, assuring them, 'It's okay for now. It's warm. Don't worry', signaling a positive turn of events.
Netizens reacted positively to the episode, with comments like 'Ji Sang-ryeol finally came to his senses', 'Treat Shin Bo-ram well! It's nice to see', and 'It's cute that he'll become a cat lol', showing their support for the development of their relationship.
