Pump Up the Healthy Love – K-drama Episode 6 Recap & Review

Episode 6 Episode 6 of Pump Up the Healthy Love begins with Mi-ran running on the treadmill, unable to stop thinking about Joon-seok's deleted message. She ends up pushing it too far and the machine breaks. This puts the staff in a pickle because they don't have the money to buy a new treadmill. They decide to get their members to sign up for personal training with Hyeon-joong in order to make more money. He even puts a sign up offering 30% discount but nobody signs up. Mi-ran even tries to convince the three gym ladies to sign up. It works as one of them, Seong-im, does sign up for the personal training. Mi-ran and Hyeon-joong high five and he points out that she has calluses on her hand — a mark of people who exercise. He even gives her hand cream. Mi-ran goes home in a great mood but she finds her sister in tears. Apparently, Kang Dan broke up with her saying he was too happy and that was interfering with his ability to write songs. Mi-ran resolves to help her move on. Seong-im starts her training with Hyeon-joong and she seems very enthusiastic about. Almost too enthusiastic, as she begins to constantly pepper him with questions and requests for advice. She wants to get the most of the 24-hour gym. At work, Mi-ran learns that her show about Hawaii was a hit. Ye-jin surprises Mi-ran by telling her that it was Joon-seok who recommended Mi-ran for the Hawaii live show. After work, Mi-ran takes Ji-ran to the gym. Hyeon-joong recognises Ji-ran from the photobooth incident and tries to hide his identity. In order to impress her sister, Mi-ran ends up overdoing it at the gym. Hyeon-joong helps Mi-ran cover up when she uses a machine she hasn't used before. At one point, Seong-im begins dusting the place and ends up breaking Hyeon-joong's trophy in his office. To top this off, Hyeon-joong realises he's losing muscle because Seong-im doesn't let him work out at all. Seong-im takes Hyeon-joong out for a meal the next day. He tells her he has something to say to her but Seong-im then sees her husband with another woman. She asks Hyeon-joong to hide her and he obliges. She later explains that she doesn't want a divorce for the sake of her daughter, even though her husband takes her for granted. But she hates being home which is why she spends so much time at the gym and enjoys the concern Hyeon-joong shows her. Later, while working out, Hyeon-joong muses on the difficulty of the situation. Back home, Ji-ran tells Mi-ran that the workout helped her not think about Kang Dan. In the morning, Mi-ran tells Hyeon-joong how exercise helped her spirit become stronger as well. Hyeon-joong then shows Seong-im a particular exercise to help her learn how to relax her shoulders and let go. Seong-im understands what he's saying about letting go and tells Hyeon-joong it's hard to let go of family members. However, as the three ladies head for a bite outside the gym, they come across Seong-im's husband and his girlfriend. He shamelessly introduces the woman as his colleague and even tells Seong-im to cook her some food. Seong-im finally loses it. Hyeon-joong gives her the resistance band which she uses to smack her husband in the face. Even Mi-ran helps trip the man over and after he scurries off, the whole gym team goes out for drinks. On the way home, Mi-ran and Ji-ran are helping a garbage picker when Mi-ran sees Joon-seok walking towards them. She hides and then asks Ji-ran to ask Joon-seok about the text messages. Ji-ran realises that Mi-ran hasn't actually been able to let go of Joon-seok and calls Kang Dan, begging him to come back. Mi-ran is also upset, even more so when she realises one of her calluses has fallen off. She goes to the gym and cries to Hyeon-joong about it. An epilogue of Pump Up the Healthy Love Episode 6 shows Joon-seok looking at Mi-ran crying in the street when he gets caught by Seong-im, who thinks he's a pervert. The Episode Review Pump Up the Healthy Love Episode 6 is quite wholesome! Seong-im's personal training storyline starts out as a humorous gimmick but then gives us a chance to get to know her better. It's definitely nice to see the story dive into side characters like Seong-im, who are always around in the background of Mi-ran and Hyeon-joong's stories. The whole thing is executed quite well, although Seong-im's husband gets his comeuppance quicker than expected. It's also balanced out nicely with Mi-ran's story, which is super relatable for anyone who has been through a hard breakup and wanted to appear stronger than they really were. Through her gym antics, the episode actually brings out poignant themes about letting go and how hard it really is. Hyeon-joong's closing voiceover is a nice way to end the episode as well. All in all, the drama continues to have a lot of heart! Previous Episode Next Episode Expect A Full Season Write-Up When This Season Concludes!
