Prior to the broadcast of episode 8, tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama 'Pick Seonjae and Jump' released a still containing a very close two-shot of Ryu Seon-jae (played by Byeon Woo-seok) and Im Sol (played by Kim Hye-yoon) with their lips almost touching.
The last broadcast depicted the changed fates of Ryu Seon-jae and Im Sol. Ryu Seon-jae was still on the rise as Korea's top star, and Im Sol was continuing his life as a 34-year-old, completely different from before, as an employee at the film company of his dreams. In particular, at the end of the drama, Ryu Seon-jae and Im Sol reunited for the first time in 15 years on the Han River Bridge, recalling their past promise, and a storm of excitement swept through the small screen. In the end, Imsol grabbed Ryu Seon-jae with the determination not to leave him alone, saying, “Let’s stay together tonight,” raising curiosity about what would unfold next.
Among these, in the released still, Ryu Seon-jae and Im Sol are standing facing each other in close contact in a narrow entrance. Ryu Seon-jae retraced his steps and came to Imsol's house. The expressions of the two people looking at each other are full of tension, trembling, and earnestness, as if they are being overcome by uncontrollable emotions. The distance between the two people who are in close contact and the breathtaking atmosphere make even the viewer nervous.
Meanwhile, in another still, Ryu Seon-jae is looking closely at the face of Im Sol, who is sleeping face down on the table as if he is exhausted. The expression on Ryu Seon-jae's face as he stares at Im Sol with eyes that are as hot as a fire can burn at any moment is enough to raise the viewer's heart rate. The distance between the two people, so close that even their breath can touch, has heightened dramatic tension, and attention is being paid to whether the two-way kiss between Ryu Seon-jae and Im Sol, who confirmed their feelings for each other today (30th), will be successful.
The production team of tvN's 'Pick Seonjae and Jump' said, "Today (30th), Ryu Seonjae and Im Sol explode the feelings they have built up for each other for 15 years," adding, "Especially as the promised 8th episode, it brings the viewers' hearts pounding at an all-time high. “I plan to do it, so please make sure to check it out by watching the broadcast.”
