A fleeting moment of romance collapses into tension as Han Ji-min is blindsided by an encounter she never anticipated.
Episode 7 of JTBC’s weekend drama The Practical Guide to Love, airing March 21 at 10:40 p.m., centers on Lee Ui-young (Han Ji-min) as she unexpectedly comes face-to-face with Song Tae-seop’s (Park Sung-hoon) mother, Lee Soon-joo (Oh Min-ae).
What begins as a sweet home date between Ui-young and Tae-seop quickly derails with the arrival of an uninvited guest. Before their relationship can even take shape, Ui-young is thrust into an awkward first encounter with his mother.
The situation grows more unsettling as Soon-joo is revealed to be the owner of Ui-young’s favorite restaurant, someone she has long trusted. The overlap between her past familiarity and present romance heightens the discomfort, leaving the direction of their meeting unpredictable.
Still images preview a striking emotional contrast: Ui-young and Tae-seop visibly shaken, while Soon-joo appears quietly amused. Ignoring her son’s unease, she settles in and leads the conversation, steadily tightening the pressure.
The defining moment lies in Soon-joo’s unexpected disclosures. She casually reveals Ui-young’s past dating concerns and even her drinking habits, details that were meant to remain private. As boundaries collapse, the tension sharpens around how this forced three-way encounter will unfold.
