JTBC’s romantic comedy The Practical Guide to Love has released a preview of its upcoming episode, signaling a new turning point in the evolving relationships between the main characters. The drama stars Han Ji Min as Lee Ui Yeong, a woman who decides to actively pursue love and enters the world of blind dates. As she meets two men with very different personalities and charms, she finds herself navigating emotional uncertainty while searching for a clearer understanding of what genuine love means.
In earlier episodes, Shin Ji Su, played by Lee Ki Taek, first met Lee Ui Yeong while standing in for a friend at a blind date. Because he was pretending to be someone else, he initially behaved rudely and gave short, dismissive answers in an attempt to end the meeting quickly. However, as time passed, he became increasingly drawn to her sincerity and personality. By the time he realized his feelings and tried to change the direction of their relationship, Lee Ui Yeong had already developed a connection with Song Tae Seop, portrayed by Park Sung Hoon, creating a complicated romantic dynamic among the three characters.
In the upcoming episode, Shin Ji Su decides to adopt a new strategy in his pursuit of Lee Ui Yeong. Moving away from his carefree and playful image, he presents himself in a more polished and refined manner, hoping to leave a stronger and more positive impression. He also carefully plans a date at an upscale restaurant in an effort to recreate their first meeting and overcome the negative impression he made previously. This deliberate change in approach reflects his growing determination to win her affection.
Newly released still images show Shin Ji Su dressed sharply as he waits for Lee Ui Yeong at the restaurant, signaling his commitment to making a meaningful effort. Meanwhile, Lee Ui Yeong appears surprised by his noticeably transformed demeanor, suggesting that his new strategy may shift the tone of their relationship. The scene introduces a sense of anticipation regarding whether this renewed attempt will successfully reshape their connection.
As the storyline continues to unfold, The Practical Guide to Love maintains its romantic and comedic tone while gradually deepening emotional conflicts between the characters. The next episode will air on March 21 at 10:40 p.m. KST, where viewers will see whether Shin Ji Su’s revised approach can influence the direction of his relationship with Lee Ui Yeong.
