What’s Happening in Episodes 5 & 6

Previously on Still Shining, Yeon Tae Seo (Park Jinyoung) and Mo Eun Ah (Kim Min Ju) found themselves living far apart from one another after enrolling in different universities. But despite living separate lives in different places, their feelings for one another remained as strong as ever. When Eun Ah was upset by her father’s sudden marriage announcement, she impulsively rushed to Seoul to see Tae Seo, who, in turn, hurried to her side as soon as he could. Wikipedia

The newly released stills from the upcoming episodes show the couple doing what people desperately in love do — making stolen moments count. Whether sneaking into Mo Eun Ah’s house to enjoy a secret date at home or spending a quiet evening by the river together, the two look completely comfortable with one another, hinting at how their affection has deepened.
