Between Him and Her Episode 2 will be released next week! The show, which encapsulates the emotions of a burnt-out relationship and the real-life struggles of grown adults, has hooked the fans with its unique concept.
Premiering its first episode on 26 December 2023, Him and Her tells the story of a couple who have been together since high school and are eventually drifting apart as the societal pressures and financial burdens take a toll on them.
The first episode of the K-drama ended with a shocking cliffhanger, as both the partners, Jung Hyun Seong and Han Seong Ok, find themselves in the same motel. To make matters worse, they didn’t come as a couple but with complete strangers.
Recap
Episode 1 opens with Jung Hyun Seong and Han Seong Ok being portrayed as a couple. Their seven-year relationship had lost its flame, and neither was ready to rekindle the spark they had.
Hyun Seong and Seong Ok have been together since high school and are dedicated to their passion for building their business. Together, they launched a brand called H2, which specializes in street fashion.
Hyun Seong was responsible for looking after the brand but was facing problems with popularizing it despite the high-quality material of their stuff. To sustain her lifestyle, Seong Ok had to work in the marketing department of a jewelry company.
Both Hyun Seong and Seong Ok were passionate about clothes and jewelry, and Seong Ok desired to become a qualified jewelry designer. The dynamic of their relationship is clearly visible as they both seem to get annoyed by each other fairly quickly.
Despite living under the same roof, the chemistry they had during their high school days was just not there anymore, and they were tired of the relationship itself. Hyun Seong would pick to spend time with his friends playing soccer in the house rather than be with Seong Ok.
He also tries to keep their brand afloat and gets cooped up trying to collaborate with bigger companies. As fate may have it, Seong Ok finally gets to take a step closer to her dream as she’s called in to help design jewelry.
Their hectic work schedule and financial instability drifted them apart more than expected. Luckily, Hyun Seong signed a deal with Winders, the popular company, to help H2 and exclusively asked for a deal with the clothing business and not the jewelry.
When he tells Seong Ok of the deal, there’s a huge misunderstanding, and they end up in an argument. Hyun Seong was aware of how much jewelry designing meant to Seong Ok but still signed a deal where only the clothing line could profit from the help.
In a fit of rage, Hyun Seong leaves their home and goes off to drink with his friends. Still not in his right mind, Hyun Seong gets drunk and cheats on Seong Ok. The episode ends with Hyun Seong regretting his decision but encountering Seong Ok in the same motel with another man.
At first, he was confused about what was going on but quickly realized that she had come to do what he had just done. Seong Ok had come to spend the night in the motel with a complete stranger to cool off after their argument.
