JTBC’s romantic comedy The Practical Guide to Love has released new stills previewing the next episode, revealing that the emotional rivalry surrounding the female lead is set to intensify. In the series, Han Ji Min plays Lee Ui Yeong, a woman who decides to actively pursue love through blind dates, only to find herself torn between two men with very different personalities and approaches to romance.
At the end of the previous episode, Shin Ji Su, portrayed by Lee Ki Taek, sincerely confessed his feelings to Lee Ui Yeong and expressed his desire to begin an official relationship with her. However, just as he made this heartfelt declaration, Song Tae Seop, played by Park Sung Hoon, unexpectedly arrived and witnessed the confession, setting the stage for a direct confrontation between the two men.
In the upcoming episode, tensions rise when both Song Tae Seop and Shin Ji Su coincidentally show up at the hotel where Lee Ui Yeong works at exactly the same time. Determined not to back down, the two men face each other in a tense standoff. Meanwhile, unaware of the growing rivalry, Lee Ui Yeong is seen repeatedly checking her phone at work due to the constant stream of messages she receives from both men, highlighting the emotional pressure created by the situation.
As the storyline progresses, each man attempts to win her affection in his own way. Song Tae Seop demonstrates a considerate side by appearing at the hotel just as she finishes work and offering to drive her home. In contrast, Shin Ji Su plans a formal dinner date and looks at her with clear affection, signaling his determination to move their relationship forward. These contrasting gestures underscore the different personalities and romantic strategies of the two characters.
With the competition between the two men becoming increasingly intense, viewers are left wondering which relationship will ultimately prevail. The next episode of The Practical Guide to Love will air on March 22 at 10:30 p.m. KST, where the evolving dynamics among the three characters are expected to reach a new turning point.
