Love Triangle Heats Up in 'The Betrayal' as Kim Mu-jun Confesses to Ahn Eun-jin Amidst Jang Ki-yong's Return

The love triangle in SBS's Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘The Betrayal’ is set for a dramatic shift with new developments involving Jang Ki-yong, Ahn Eun-jin, and Kim Mu-jun.

Ahead of the 11th episode, the production team released stills hinting at the evolving dynamics between Gong Ji-hyuk (Jang Ki-yong), Go Da-rim (Ahn Eun-jin), and Kim Sun-woo (Kim Mu-jun) following the cliffhanger ending of episode 10.

Viewers will recall the intense spark between Gong Ji-hyuk and Go Da-rim, ignited by a memorable kiss in Jeju. However, a forced separation led them to cross paths again as colleagues at the baby product company, Natural Bebe Mother TF Team. Go Da-rim, who is a single mother secretly working to support her family, had to ask her 20-year-long best friend, Kim Sun-woo, to pretend to be her husband.

Kim Sun-woo, despite initially finding the request absurd, agreed to help Go Da-rim, driven by his unspoken feelings that have evolved from friendship to love. He also noticed the growing connection between Go Da-rim and Gong Ji-hyuk. In a bold move, Kim Sun-woo finally confessed his love to Go Da-rim.

The newly released photos capture Gong Ji-hyuk and Go Da-rim sharing an intimate embrace and kiss. However, the images also reveal Kim Sun-woo watching them from a distance, setting the stage for heightened tension. The episode promises to explore the consequences of Kim Sun-woo discovering their mutual feelings and how he will navigate this complex love triangle.

‘The Betrayal’ airs its 11th episode on the 17th at 9 PM KST.

Netizens are reacting to Kim Mu-jun's bold confession, with comments like 'Sun-woo's direct confession is heartbreaking' and 'I had a feeling something was off.' Fans express mixed emotions, rooting for Ji-hyuk and Da-rim while feeling sympathy for Sun-woo.
