The Weight Gyu Rim Carries Alone

As the eldest of five siblings, Han Gyu Rim has been holding her family together single-handedly. The new stills capture just how exhausting that role has become — she comes home worn out only to walk straight into another crisis, this time between her younger brother Gyu Oh and her clearly furious sister Gyu Young.

A Fight That Escalates Fast

What starts as a tense standoff between siblings quickly turns physical, with Gyu Rim and Gyu Young getting into a fierce confrontation that even involves hair-pulling. As if that weren’t enough chaos for one scene, their long-absent father, Han Seok Joong, chooses that exact moment to return home after years of neglecting the family.

Moo Jin’s Quiet Timing

Amid all that turmoil, Kim Moo Jin steps in with a small but meaningful gesture — offering comfort right when Gyu Rim is at her most depleted. One released still shows him staring seriously at his phone, seemingly working up the nerve to make a call that the production team has teased as the actual start of the couple’s romantic connection.
