Second Shot at Love – K-drama Episode 7 Recap & Review
Episode 7
Episode 7 of Second Shot at Love begins with Gwang-ok's friend calling to apologise. She accidentally went to the wedding, thinking Geum-ju was the bride, and found out about Ju-yeop's shotgun wedding. She, of course, told Gwang-ok which led to her drinking.
The whole family is upset while Geum-ju is awkward. Gwang-ok apologises for her nagging and Jeong-su blames himself. After comforting them, Geum-ju runs to Ui-joon and cries. She never told anyone as she didn't want pity. But she is glad that Ui-joon knows.
Meanwhile, Seon-hwa tries to set up Seon-wook with a woman. She is excited on learning he has a crush and even overhears him trying to patch up with Hyeon-ju. However, Seon-hwa misunderstands and thinks he wants Hyeon-ju on the taekwondo team.
As for the stranger mystery, the cops reveal that the truck was stolen. CCTVs also show a man breaking into Ui-joon's house and he is sure it is his father.
Things seem to be looking up as Geum-ju's company wants her back. Gwang-ok now trusts her and constantly tears up when reminded of her distrust.
Seon-wook notices Ui-joon sulking over Geum-ju's departure and they spar together. They bond over how complicated life is. Elsewhere, the ladies gossip how Ui-joon likes Geum-ju but is way beyond her league. Unable to take it, Gwang-ok finally tells them about Ju-yeop. Geum-ju pops up and Gwang-ok is apologetic. But Geum-ju is relieved that she doesn't need to lie anymore.
As expected, the news spreads like wildfire and everyone is upset. Seon-wook feels bad for nagging Geum-ju and even goes to a fortune teller for a good luck talisman.
Geum-ju is packing up when her family returns the money she used to send them. She is touched as they promise to support her. Even the boys show up and they all hold a farewell party for Geum-ju. There is more good news as a realtor finds a new tenant for Geum-ju's apartment.
To celebrate, Gwang-ok permits one drink but Geum-ju refuses. Everyone is proud of her. Suddenly, there is a commotion. The villagers arrive with pitchforks, ready to beat up Ju-yeop. As the Hans try to stop them, Geum-ju is amused. She realises that she has people by her side and she need not endure alone.
A flashback shows that the new tenant is Ui-joon. Alone, she tells him not to sign the lease. She finally confesses that she did like him. It is why she was embarrassed by his pity. She jokingly tells him to stop going out of his way for her.
She returns to work and Chief Kim is surprisingly apologetic. He looks out for her and hypes her up. When the team pitches a welcome dinner, he scolds them for being inconsiderate about her recovery. As a compromise, those who drink will head out. It is everyone except Geum-ju. As she is left alone, Kim smirks. A friendly co-worker warns her that Kim holds grudges.
Ui-joon itches to check up on her but stops himself. Nurse Baek encourages him to follow his happiness. However, he cannot forget his father's threat. A flashback shows Mr. Seo causing a scene at Ui-joon's hospital. While trying to stop him, a nurse falls and hits her head.
Back in the village, Jeong-su runs into Seon-hwa. He talks about what a good friend Seon-wook is to Geum-ju. She thinks her brother likes Geum-ju.
At the same time, Hyeon-ju tells Seon-wook they cannot be more than mutual acquaintances. He tells her how he didn't believe in love because of his family. But he changed his mind after he fell for her. He plays with her kids and she sees him in a new light.
Ui-joon goes home and finds that his love note for Geum-ju is crumpled. A flashback shows his father seeing the love note and threatening to hurt Geum-ju unless Ui-joon gives him money. At present, Ui-joon realises she is in danger.
Geum-ju is headed home when the truck driver shows up and hits her car. However, Ui-joon arrives in time and takes him down.
At the police station, they see that the driver is a former patient. He is a violent alcoholic who refused treatment. His family left him and he blames Ui-joon.
Once that is resolved, Ui-joon finds Geum-ju missing. He panics before he finds her heading towards the police station for him. He frets over her and she tells him to stop. She keeps mistaking his pity for feelings. He finally confesses that he loves her and they kiss.
In the Second Shot at Love Episode 7 epilogue, Geum-ju asks the fortune teller about Ui-joon. The fortune teller comments that they kissed 10 years ago and Geum-ju thinks she is a quack.
The Episode Review
Second Shot at Love Episode 7 is quite wholesome as Geum-ju realises that she need not endure her sufferings alone. All the characters who have been nagging her redeem themselves by coming to her aid once they learn the truth about her ex.
Geum-ju grows as well, seeing the support for what it is instead of pity. And there is finally some progress in the romance department with Geum-ju and Ui-joon dating while Hyeon-ju starts considering Seon-wook's feelings.
With the Hans' alcoholism being demoted in terms of conflict, the show sets up multiple mini-conflicts to fill the second half of the show. We are pretty sure that there may be a relapse plot twist before the finale but till then, Chief Kim and Ui-joon's father are bound to keep things interesting.

Why Lydia Bright refuses to end bizarre friendship with ex James Argent – despite beauty queen assault and social swipe
HE cheated on her multiple times, sent her abusive messages and at one point she told him: 'I despise you". Yet to the confusion of millions of Towie fans who have followed their journey from lovers, to enemies, and now the best of friends, Lydia Bright is sticking by James Argent after he violently assaulted his Swedish girlfriend Nicoline Artursson. 12 12 12 A friend who knows both Lydia and Arg very well tells The Sun: 'When it comes to what happened with Arg and Nicoline, Lydia would never condone violence and has made that very clear to James, but she doesn't think that he is a violent man and she knows he deeply regrets the events of that night. "She has stuck by him, even though she doesn't agree with his actions - just as his other mates like Mark Wright have." Caught in the crossfire Lydia found herself publicly dragged into the fallout when a deleted instagram post from Nicoline, shared in the hours before the assault, appeared to take aim at her. Nicoline's social media message - deleted after she posted it to her 32,000 followers around 10:44pm on May 4 - read: 'Is it OK if your boyfriend is talking and hanging out with their ex and the family daily and liking their Instagram posts? The post continued: 'Then your partner blames you for seeing it, now the ex is supposedly their 'best friend'. If you're in a serious relationship you've got to respect your partner and leave the past in the past.' Hours after she deleted the message, disgraced James got into an explosive row with Nicoline and pushed her down some stairs at her apartment in La Cala de Mijas on the Costa del Sol. Quickly arrested and brought to court, Argent received a six-month suspended prison sentence for domestic abuse and was banned from contacting Nicoline. He pleaded guilty to 'mistreating' the former Miss Sweden, who was taken to hospital with horrific injuries. But while many would forgive Lydia for running a mile from her friendship with Arg after this latest scandal, she has remained loyal because, as those in her inner circle tell the Sun, the pair are "more than just mates, they're like family." Why Lydia stayed loyal A pal reveals: 'James and Lydia went through a lot when they were young and in a relationship but despite all the drama - they have stayed the closest of friends. Horrific injuries James Argent inflicted on his beauty queen girlfriend revealed as star avoids jail for horror attack 'There have been rocky moments, but they've both grown up together and there's a bond between them that can't be broken. 'They think of themselves as being kids on Towie, young and silly. Now they're adults and support each other. 'James is very much seen as part of her extended family and is very close to her mum, Debbie, and sister Romana. Their families are very tight knit." Indeed, Lydia becoming a mum to her daughter Loretta, five, who she shares with her ex, Lee Cronin, has only brought her closer with James - who is said to be 'like an uncle' to the little girl. Our insider adds: 'James was thrilled when Lydia became a mum and loves to spend time with her little girl Loretta – he absolutely dotes on her and loves treating her. He wants children one day and is very paternal, like an uncle." His darkest hours Lydia has also been Arg's rock at every testing time in his life including his long battle with obesity and drug addiction. When he revealed that he feared eating himself to death as his weight skyrocketed to 27st during his lowest ebb, later enduring several stints in rehab, Lydia was always there for him. 'Lydia's been a constant to James during his struggles with his weight and when he was losing himself to drugs," says a pal. 'She's only ever wanted the best for James and when he's been at rock bottom, she's always been there to lift him back up. "She sees the best in him - and knows what he's really like as a person and says he has a very good heart." Of course, those in James and Lydia's orbit often thought the childhood sweethearts would one day find their way back to each other romantically. 'There was a time when people thought James wanted Lydia back - it's obvious he does think about what their life could have been like if they stayed together. 'But that ship has sailed - James values the friendship so highly, it's the same for her. 'They speak regularly and see each other as much as they can - it's the same with James with Lydia's family. He'll pop in for a cuppa with Debbie and she sees him like a surrogate son.' The list of women he cheated with Arg and Lydia's love story started off screen nearly two decades ago when they were teens and their drama-filled romance made legendary TV on the ITVBe show - gripping viewers with its constant twists and turns. Both were OG cast members and viewers were completely gripped by their love story. During one iconic episode he bought her Mr Darcy for Christmas - a pet 'micro' pig which ended up growing to full size. At one point, the couple were engaged and planned to move in together but were hit by a series of cheating scandals and fall outs - in one scene Arg had to read a list of people he'd cheated with. He admitted kissing Amy Childs and bedding Gemma Collins and Lydia, on the same day, on a jaunt to Marbella. Even after multiple breakups (Arg's addictions were blamed for their many woes), they managed to maintain a friendship spanning 18 years. 12 Fat jibes But there's been a dark side to their union. James was accused of sending vile messages to Lydia, calling her a "sl*t" for sleeping with someone else, after their breakup in 2012. He was later exposed for sending Gemma a series of abusive fat-shaming texts -reportedly referring to her as a "fat joke of a woman," saying she had "more rolls than Greggs." As late as 2020, Gemma revealed Arg had called her a "hippo" and a "fat f**k" when she shared screenshots of the vile abuse on Instagram. Arg and Lydia's relationship timeline The Towie pair go way back with their bond spanning 18 years and ups and downs 2008: James and Lydia begin dating he was 20 and she was just 18. 2010: Both appear as original cast members on TOWIE, bringing their relationship into the spotlight and under public scrutiny for the first time. 2012: The couple end their relationship after five years after Arg allegedly relapses into his cocaine habit. Arg's party lifestyle was a huge source of contention, with most of their rows revolving around him keeping secrets from her and slipping back into his bad ways. Arg and Gemma Collins begin their romantic relationship in 2012, shortly after Arg's split from Lydia and she begins dating his 'rival' Tom Kilbey. December 2014: Arg checks himself into The Priory and is rumoured to be spending Christmas in Rehab. 2015: They rekindle their romance, with their renewed relationship featured on TOWIE 2016: James and Lydia split again, amid claims she caught him on a cocaine binge. 2017: Lydia discovers that James cheated on her, and it comes to light he slept with both her and Gemma Collins on the same day during a trip to Marbella. 2019: Despite their past, James and Lydia remain friends, with James stating they are "extremely close again" and have kept their renewed friendship "low-key and behind closed doors." 2021: James expresses fondness for Lydia, acknowledging her support and their enduring friendship. 2023: Lydia confirms that she and James remain good friends, emphasizing the strong bond they share Lydia also spoke about Arg controlling her during their time together saying: ''He could be so jealous and in the end it killed me. 'He was suffocating me and holding me back. He was insecure. He got so scared he was going to lose me he'd say, 'I can't let you do this and I can't let you do that'. 'He didn't even like me going out and every time I did, it was a drama.' 'Sad, lost and insecure' During one scene Lydia told him that she hated him saying: "I don't want us to ever be friends. I don't want you to speak to my friends and family. You made me hate you. When I look at you, I despise you." And she insisted he was 'sad, lost and insecure.' "We were getting a house, getting engaged, but nothing was ever enough for you,' she told him. "I tried to hold your hand through life, I gave you everything. "It's really sad because you give this front that you're this really happy person, loveable Arg but there's something in you that is so sad and lost and insecure.' Friends of the pair insist, however, that this is all water under the bridge and has only made the former couple's bond even stronger. 'Lydia and Arg have been through it all together. They have seen the best of each other, but also the worst of each other, but it's cemented an unbreakable bond between them. 'There is a deep love there that goes beyond any romantic relationship and they will always have each other's back. Lydia might not always agree with everything Arg does, and he has hurt her many times over the years, but she will always be there for, through thick and thin.'

Popular beauty influencer who ate makeup products dies after 'sudden illness'
A Taiwanese beauty influencer, known for tasting her products while testing them on her face, has died aged 24. Guava Shuishui, known online as Guava Beauty, earnt thousands of followers on Instagram for her reviews of makeup products. As per the English translation of a post shared to her social media account, the content creator died on May 24 from a 'sudden illness.' The statement continued: 'Thank you to everyone who has liked, left a message and laughed with her, and thank you for your love and support. She really keeps it in her heart and cherishes it very much. 'Guava Shuishui simply continues to glow in a different place. When we meet again one day, she should be unboxing angels' exclusive makeup for eating broadcasts over.' That post was the last until May 24, when her bio was changed to: 'Logging out from the world. Setting off on a new journey. All business collaborations are suspended.' In one popular video from late 2024 which was pinned to the top of her page, the influencer used a jelly blush before sticking a fork in the container and scooping the entire product out to take a bite. In the caption, she acknowledged eating beauty products is 'controversial,' and stated that children under six weren't allowed to watch her content. Some concerned fans commented on the video to say that she was setting a bad example for younger followers, and about the possible toxicity of the products. One person wrote: 'Please can you stop this behavior... You can eat in private, you can eat whatever you like. Really don't promote the act of "eating makeup".' Another said: 'It's still toxic, be careful.' The world of 'mukbang' - where online creators share videos of them eating (often excessive) amounts of food while chatting to followers - is being increasingly criticized as it continues to grow in popularity. The trend is also tragically linked to the deaths of at least three influencers, some as young as 24, in the last three years. Worried experts have expressed concerns that the content normalizes poor and unhealthy diets and could lead to potential nutrition deficiencies.
