Sweet home date with Rowoon and Jo Bo-ah
In the 15th episode of JTBC's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'This Love Is Force Majeure', which aired on the 11th, Lee Hong-jo (played by Jo Bo-ah) and Jang Shin-yu (played by Ro-woon) were depicted enjoying the perfect love. However, we faced another unexpected crisis. The sight of Na Jung-beom (played by Ahn Sang-woo) looking down at the unconscious Lee Hong-jo gave goosebumps and raised curiosity about the ending.
While expectations were focused on how the irresistible fate would be completed, viewer reactions also exploded. It ranked second in the popularity rankings for TV dramas in the first week of October announced by Good Data Corporation. In particular, Rowoon and Jo Bo-ah ranked first and second in the performer category, showing off their irresistible chemistry.
Later Jung-beom, who called Lee Hong-jo that day, did not show up at the appointed place. The two people, who decided to leave the rest to the police and not be apart any longer, headed to Jang Shin-yu's house together. Afterwards, Lee Hong-jo and Jang Shin-yu stayed together all day and enjoyed their home date. In a sweet atmosphere as if they were alone in the world, Jang Shin-yu's sincerity, "Don't disappear from me again. I promise," thrilled the viewers.
Unresolved issues were waiting for Lee Hong-jo and Jang Shin-yu, who returned to their daily lives. Kwon Jae-kyung (played by Ha Jun) relayed Yoon Hak-young (played by Song Young-gyu) to Jang Shin-yu to submit his resignation immediately, but Jang Shin-yu refused. When Jang Shin-yu asked why he was trying to take the mayor's side when he clearly knew it was unfair, Kwon Jae-kyung coldly responded, "I should always be on the mayor's side," and turned away.
Kwon Jae-kyung's actions added to the suspicion. During a private meeting with Haum Construction CEO Lee Hyun-seo (played by Kim Kwon), Kwon Jae-kyung was offered kickback money and flatly refused it. However, an unknown tension flashed through Kwon Jae-kyung, who stared at the money box without saying a word when asked to work together. Lee Hyun-seo also visited Jang Shin-yu's office. He deliberately provoked Zhang Xinyu by mentioning Li Hongzhao, and left with a meaningful remark that a talented person was attached to the Wenzhou Mountain development project.
Jang Shin-yu, who thought that Kwon Jae-kyung was involved in Lee Hyun-seo's words, immediately went to find him. He questioned whether it was illegal to sell his land that had been transferred to Onju City to Haum, but Kwon Jae-kyung's answer that it is not illegal if you make it not illegal, once again embarrassed Jang Shin-yu. Meanwhile, Lee Hong-jo's counterattack to protect Jang Shin-yu began. Lee Hong-jo attended the high school reunion where Yoon Na-yeon (played by Yura) was present. Lee Hong-jo did not back down in response to Yoon Na-yeon's sarcasm.
Lee Hong-jo asked Mayor Yoon to stop harassing Jang Shin-yu and demanded an apology for everything that had happened in the past. However, Lee Hong-jo said he would give Yoon Na-yeon, who said she had done nothing wrong, one last chance, and despite his threat to destroy Jang Shin-yu, Lee Hong-jo sharply warned her, saying, "I won't leave you alone either."
Another crisis befell Lee Hong-jo. Public worker Oh Sam-sik (played by Yu Sun-woong) came to visit Lee Hong-jo and while talking with him, Lee Hong-jo disappeared. In the video that followed, the eerie face of Later Jung-beom, looking at Lee Hong-jo, who was lying unconscious in a cave full of strange amulets and candles, further heightened the sense of crisis.
