In the Second Shot at Love episode 6, it took a serious turn. Seo Ui-jun, played by Gong Myung, opened up about something he had been hiding for a long time. In a conversation with Baek He-mi, he finally said it—he still has feelings for Han Geum-ju, played by Choi Soo-young.
It was a quiet moment, but the weight of the truth hit hard. Seo Ui-jun’s words were simple. He said, “Yes. I like you. I think I still like you, Geum-ju.” That one sentence changed everything.
Earlier in the episode, Han Geum-ju asked him why he had suddenly cut her off. She was clearly hurt. Seo Ui-jun answered in a way that was both painful and honest. “Because I liked you too much. But you didn’t. I only took care of you because I felt bad for myself.” His voice showed regret, but also acceptance.
Han Geum-ju looked shocked. She told him she didn’t know. She never realized his feelings were that deep. To her, he was just a close friend. That difference in how they saw each other led to a lot of pain on both sides.
Seo Ui-jun admitted he was wrong for cutting contact. He explained it wasn’t out of anger, but from pride. Back then, he didn’t know how to deal with everything. He was young and confused. He apologized for walking away and said it was something he had to do at the time. The conversation between them was quiet, but full of meaning.
More Than Just a Love Confession
But the situation wasn’t only about feelings. Seo Ui-jun had a dark past he kept hidden. Years ago, he had a violent encounter with his father. The man showed up suddenly, demanding things from him. It was clear they had a broken relationship. His father even threatened to hurt Han Geum-ju to get money. That scared Seo Ui-jun enough to leave the country without telling her.
Before he left, Han Geum-ju stopped him. She asked where he was going. She noticed he was hurt and tried to ask about his injury. But Seo Ui-jun pushed her away. He told her to stop caring so much and just live her life. Then he walked away and cried alone. That moment showed how much pain he was carrying inside.
The drama didn’t stop there. Baek He-mi, played by Bae Hae-sun, came to Seo Ui-jun’s house. She found an empty medicine bottle. When she asked about it, he tried to hide it. But she knew. He had said he was fine, but clearly, he wasn’t. She asked if he was still struggling. His answer was quiet but clear. “I’m scared. I’m worried I’ll lose someone again.”
That’s when she asked if the person he liked was Han Geum-ju. And he said yes. That confirmed what viewers were already suspecting. Gong Myung’s character still carries deep feelings for Choi Soo-young’s role.
This episode showed a lot of raw emotion. It wasn’t loud or dramatic. But the feelings were real. Seo Ui-jun’s confession wasn’t just about love. It was about regret, fear, and letting go of the past.
Fans have been waiting for a moment like this. Many have guessed there was more behind Seo Ui-jun’s silence. Now, they finally know the truth.
What This Means Going Forward
This changes things in the story. Now that Seo Ui-jun has told Baek He-mi the truth, he might be ready to open up more. The tension between him and Han Geum-ju is still there. But it’s no longer hidden. Whether they can rebuild their relationship or not is unclear.
What’s certain is that Seo Ui-jun is not just dealing with love. He’s also working through old pain, family trauma, and personal guilt. And Gong Myung shows all of this in a quiet, believable way.
Choi Soo-young’s Han Geum-ju is also not just a love interest. She’s confused, hurt, and trying to understand the past. Her reactions felt honest. She didn’t jump to big emotions. She listened. And she looked like someone trying to make sense of everything.
The story is moving forward in a subtle way. Nothing feels forced. Viewers can relate to the feeling of being misunderstood or of hiding your emotions for too long. That’s what makes this drama feel so personal.
Gong Myung confesses love in Second Shot at Love at a time when his character is at his most vulnerable. It’s not just a turning point in the plot—it’s a look into someone who’s finally speaking his truth after years of silence.
This episode didn’t rely on big drama moments. It was about quiet conversations, honest emotions, and people trying to heal. That’s what makes it stand out.
