Sold Out on You
successfully reunited in tears while comforting each other's pain, delivering deep lingering emotions and heart-fluttering excitement to viewers.
In the 9th episode of the SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama
Sold Out on You
(written by Jin Seung-hee, directed by Ahn Jong-yeon) broadcast yesterday (May 20), Matthew Lee (played by Ahn Hyo Seop) and Dam Ye-jin (played by Chae Won-been), who share similar wounds, overcame their past traumas and confirmed their love for each other once again.
Driven by the healing romance of the two leads, the broadcast recorded a peak rating of 4% and a peak of 1.01% among the 20–49 demographic (according to Nielsen Korea). Furthermore, it has continued its global success by ranking in the Top 5 of Netflix's Global Non-English TV Shows for four consecutive weeks.
Previously, Matthew Lee, who had declared a heartbreaking breakup to Dam Ye-jin, suffered from severe post-breakup aftermath and nightmares, evoking sympathy. Dam Ye-jin, who returned to Seoul, also tried to immerse herself in work but could not erase her longing for Matthew Lee. Ultimately, due to the side effects of sleeping pills, she half-asleep called the phone number her mother (played by Woo Hee-jin) used to use.
The current user of that number was none other than Matthew Lee. Noticing Dam Ye-jin's state over the phone, Matthew Lee, thinking she wouldn't remember when she woke up, confessed his cruel past that he had kept hidden. In the past, due to the 'Good Morning Cream' incident that he developed, CEO Choi Woo-soo (played by Seo Hyun-woo) took all the responsibility and took his own life. Matthew Lee shed tears of self-reproach, blaming himself for the victims and Dam Ye-jin's trauma.
Their misunderstanding was resolved by a chance occasion. Dam Ye-jin learned that Matthew Lee's phone number, which she received from Park Kwang-mo (played by Cho Bok-rae), the work foreman of Deokpung Village, was the same as her mother's old number. After confirming Matthew Lee's deep wounds and sincerity through the recordings of their past calls, Dam Ye-jin headed straight to him.
Receiving Dam Ye-jin's call late at night, Matthew Lee ran to her in a heartbeat. Dam Ye-jin warmly embraced him, saying, "Stay by my side, and I'll stay by yours." Matthew Lee also poured out the tears he had been holding back in her arms. The embrace of the two sharing each other's sorrow brought a touching emotion to the viewers.
Particularly, at the end of the broadcast, Matthew Lee made a surprise visit to Dam Ye-jin's house to help her, as she was suffering from insomnia again after returning to Seoul, sending heart-fluttering excitement through the roof. Matthew Lee delivered a straightforward line to the surprised Dam Ye-jin, saying, "Let me sleep over. Let's sleep together," painting the living rooms in pink.
As the 'Tyu-Dam (Matthew Lee + Dam Ye-jin) couple' begins to overcome their respective wounds and become a true sanctuary for each other, anticipation rises for the healing romance they will continue. Episode 10 of
Sold Out on You
will air tonight (May 21) at 9 PM.
