In the 9th episode of the SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Sold Out on You' (written by Jin Seung-hee, directed by Ahn Jong-yeon), airing tonight, May 20, at 9 PM, Matthew Lee (played by Ahn Hyo Seop)—a perfectionist who was always meticulous—is seen completely losing his composure following his split from Dam Ye-jin (played by Chae Won-been).
Previously, Matthew Lee chose a heartbreaking separation to help Dam Ye-jin return to her rightful place after she hesitated to resume her career as a show host in the aftermath of the past 'Good Morning Cream Incident.' He revealed that he was the researcher who created the Good Morning Cream, lying to her by claiming that all the kindness he had shown her was merely out of a "sense of debt." Ultimately, the two parted ways amidst misunderstandings and hurt, tugging at the heartstrings of viewers.
In today's 9th episode, the lonely daily life of Matthew Lee, left behind in Deokpung Village after Dam Ye-jin's departure, will be revealed. Having briefly regained a sense of brightness while living with Dam Ye-jin, Matthew Lee is expected to evoke sympathy from the entire village as he appears far more sunken than ever before.
In particular, the passionate young farmer Matthew Lee, who was always fastidious and perfect when it came to farm work, begins to make a series of mistakes and even suffers an unexpected injury while tending to the mushrooms. His disheveled state shocks his usual work foreman, Park Gwang-mo (played by Jo Bok-rae), who cannot hide his concern.
The sense of loss felt by Matthew Lee, who had to choose a breakup due to unavoidable reality just as his love for Dam Ye-jin was blossoming, is beyond imagination. His hollow gaze and days filled with sorrow are expected to amplify the viewers' heartache. Curiosity is mounting regarding the future of the romance between the "Tyu-Dam (Matthew & Ye-jin)" couple and how Matthew Lee will cope with the pain of the breakup all on his own.
The story following the breakup will be unveiled in the 9th episode of 'Sold Out on You', airing tonight (the 20th) at 9 PM.
