In the SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama 'Sold Out on You' (written by Jin Seung-hee, directed by Ahn Jong-yeon), the 'Good Morning Cream' scandal—an event that once turned the lives of Matthew Lee (played by Ahn Hyo Seop) and Dam Ye-jin (played by Chae Won-been) upside down—has resurfaced. We take a look at the full story of the incident that has shattered the budding romance of the two characters who had just begun to acknowledge their feelings for each other.
▲ Developer Matthew Lee’s Guilt vs. Show Host Dam Ye-jin’s Trauma
First, Matthew Lee was the cosmetic researcher who developed the problematic 'Good Morning Cream.' Despite pouring his heart and soul into the product, a tragedy occurred when harmful ingredients were detected, leading to numerous victims suffering side effects. Following the incident, Matthew Lee quit his job as a researcher and moved to Deokpung Village to run a mushroom farm, where he now operates a raw material company with his former colleague, Kang Moo-won (played by Yoon Byung-hee).
However, Matthew Lee continues to live with deep guilt, steadfastly refusing suggestions to create cosmetics again and quietly taking care of Na Som-i (played by Ahn Se-bin) and her sister, who were victims of the incident.
On the other hand, for Dam Ye-jin, 'Good Morning Cream' was her first broadcast item as a show host and an event that became a shackle on her life. Having seized the opportunity to fill in for a senior who was suddenly injured, Dam Ye-jin hosted the broadcast alongside her biological mother, Song Myung-hwa (played by Woo Hee-jin). However, after the product scandal broke, she faced fierce backlash from consumers and suffered the pain of her relationship with her mother falling apart. Because of this trauma, Dam Ye-jin has avoided beauty broadcasts and suffered from chronic insomnia, even after becoming a top show host.

Although the two had fallen in love while sharing each other's pain, the trap of the past has once again held them back.
Even after clearing various controversies, Dam Ye-jin hesitated to return to work after facing a victim from the past. Matthew Lee made a difficult decision to put Dam Ye-jin back on her path. He revealed his past history as a researcher and sacrificed his love for Dam Ye-jin, turning his back on her.
As if by a twist of fate, Matthew Lee and Dam Ye-jin find themselves entangled by a massive event from their past. Viewers are now focused on whether the two can overcome their deep wounds and crises to reclaim their happy days.
Meanwhile, 'Sold Out on You,' which promises a full-scale aftermath, airs every Wednesday and Thursday at 9 PM.
