Ahn Hyo Seop of 'Sold Out on You' has found the courage to overcome his past wounds, thanks to Chae Won-been's warm comfort and support.
In the 10th episode of the SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Sold Out on You' (written by Jin Seung-hee, directed by Ahn Jong-yeon), which aired on May 21, Matthew Lee (played by Ahn Hyo Seop) was shown diving back into cosmetics research—his long-standing trauma—after receiving heartfelt support from Dam Ye-jin (played by Chae Won-been).
Driven by this highly immersive plot, 'Sold Out on You' has entered the Top 10 on Netflix in 29 countries and has maintained its spot in the Top 5 of Netflix's Global Non-English TV Shows chart for four consecutive weeks, receiving an enthusiastic response in the global market (as of May 20).
In this episode, the sweet romance and deepening trust of the "Tu-Dam couple," who finally confirmed their feelings for each other, captured viewers' attention. Matthew Lee rushed over to Dam Ye-jin's place after her insomnia relapsed upon returning to Seoul, meticulously caring for her bedroom environment and sparking excitement with a sweet "goodnight kiss."
During their staycation date celebrating their reunion, the two shared their deep, sincere feelings. Dam Ye-jin expressed her desire to bring back the bright smile Matthew Lee had during his days as a cosmetics researcher. Offering her shoulder, she became a reliable source of support, saying, "Whenever you have worries or concerns, Mr. Quail, you can always put them down here."
In particular, Matthew Lee opened up about his deep connection with Na Som (played by Ahn Se-bin), a little girl from Deokpung Village who saved him from his darkest times and gave him the name "Matthew," despite being a victim of the past 'Good Morning Cream' incident. Gaining courage from his promise to make safe and high-quality cosmetics for Na Som, along with Dam Ye-jin's encouragement, Matthew Lee finally declared, "I will try without regrets," announcing his return to cosmetics development and delivering a deeply touching moment to viewers.
However, towards the end of the broadcast, tension reached its peak as a massive crisis loomed over the main characters' future. The identity of the traitor who turned their back on Matthew Lee and Gojeuneok Bio was finally revealed.
