tvN's Wednesday-Thursday drama 'I'll Give You the Universe' saw Bae In-hyuk ultimately leave the side of Noh Jung-ui in the face of a horrific truth. The heartbreaking breakup of the protagonists, along with the sub-male lead's straightforward romance, led to a rise in viewership ratings.
In the 9th episode of 'I'll Give You the Universe' aired on the 4th, Sun Tae-hyung (played by Bae In-hyuk) confronted a tragic past intertwined with his brother's death. Upon discovering that Sun Kyu-tae (played by Ryu Seung-soo) had intentionally approached him for the life insurance money, and learning the story behind why his brother had no choice but to leave him at an orphanage to protect him, Sun Tae-hyung broke down in tears, moving the viewers.
Overwhelmed by guilt that the tragedy of the past was his fault, Sun Tae-hyung ultimately made an extreme choice. Fearing that Woo Hyun-jin (played by Noh Jung-ui) and Sun Woo-joo (played by Park Yu-ho) would suffer further wounds because of him, he decided to end their cohabitation and leave their side.
The void left by Sun Tae-hyung became an opportunity for Park Yoon-sung (played by Park Seo-ham). Park Yoon-sung boldly declared to Woo Hyun-jin, "I will be a strong umbrella for you," showing his sincere confession and unyielding approach. In particular, he visited Sun Tae-hyung to deliver a sharp warning and appeared side by side with Woo Hyun-jin at the universe's presentation, signaling a significant change in their relationship.
As the complicated romance among the three deepened, the viewership ratings responded positively. The 9th episode recorded a viewership rating of 1.8% nationwide according to Nielsen Korea, showing a slight increase compared to the previous episode and achieving a turnaround. Attention is focused on whether Park Yoon-sung's active advances can sway Noh Jung-ui's heart in the absence of Sun Tae-hyung.
Meanwhile, the 10th episode of 'I'll Give You the Universe,' which will depict the story of the protagonists caught in the whirlpool of fate, will air on the 5th at 10:40 PM.
