As a dedicated fan of K-dramas, I’ve been eagerly anticipating each new episode of “Serendipity’s Embrace” featuring the captivating performances of Kim So-Hyun as Lee Hong-Ju and Chae Jong-Hyeop as Kang Hu-Yeong. In episode 3, the tension between our beloved leads grew thicker than ever!

I was excitedly waiting for the latest episode of “Serendipity’s Embrace” on Monday, July 29, 2024. This K-drama airing on tvN and Viki didn’t disappoint! In this episode, I saw two old high school classmates reunite by chance after a decade. And guess what? One of them was my first love. Kim So-Hyun played the role of Lee Hong-Ju, while Chae Jong-Hyeop brought Kang Hu-Yeong to life on screen. What a romantic twist!

Previously, Hong-Ju and Hu-Yeong enjoyed a delightful day together, which was later followed by a captivating moment between them. Unaware of his emotions, Hu-Yeong chose to put off his plans to relocate to the US. Subsequently, Hong-Ju’s ex, Bang Jun-Oh (played by Yun Ji-On), resurfaced in her life. In an uncomfortable situation, Hu-Yeong supported Hong-Ju.

In episode 3 of “The Serendipity’s Embrace,” the leading duo takes Jun-Oh by surprise as they depart together, linked hand in hand. Hong-Ju and Hu-Yeong stealthily avoid her former partner until he has gone. Simultaneously, Hu-Yeong continues to clasp his hands with a smile on her face.

In episode 3 of “Serendipity’s Embrace,” it becomes necessary for Hong-Ju and Jun-Oh to collaborate on a business undertaking against her initial will. Simultaneously, Hu-Yeong is taken aback when she discovers that the man Hong-Ju once admired from afar in high school is none other than Jun-Oh himself – a fact she had been unaware of until now. Previously, Hu-Yeong was cognizant of Hong-Ju’s infatuation with writer Jun-Oh.

In the past, a flashback reveals that Hu-Yeong unfortunately missed a chance with Hong-Ju when she ran away to meet Jun-Oh instead of attending school. Returning to the present day, Hu-Yeong feels dismayed upon discovering Hong-Ju’s romantic past. As they cross paths unexpectedly at night, Hu-Yeong appears displeased. With his departure for the US imminent, he grapples with his emotions following the Jun-Oh encounter.

Are Chae Jong-Hyeop & Kim So-Hyun’s multiple encounters just coincidences?

Hong-Ju shares a meal with Hu-Yeong at the restaurant, joined by their mutual friend Kim Hye-Ji (Kim Da-Som). With a secret crush on Hu-Yeong, Hong-Ju attempts to win his affection once more in their presence. However, after observing an argument between Hong-Ju and Hu-Yeong, Kim Hye-Ji uncovers the depth of Hu-Yeong’s feelings towards Hong-Ju instead.

After learning about his past love, Hye-Ji becomes uncomfortable with Hu-Yeong. She inquires whether he had searched for Hong-Ju upon his arrival back in South Korea. He maintains that their meetings were merely coincidental. However, Hye-Ji remains skeptical and raises doubts about the chance encounters they’ve had.

The day after, I share good news with my superior about the collaboration project I’m working on with my ex. Simultaneously, Hu-Yeung chooses to depart immediately for the United States without our scheduled encounter.

In episode 3 of “In Serendipity’s Embrace,” as Hu-Yeong prepares to leave for the airport, he reminisces with Hong-Ju about their high school days. He is brought back to the present when Hye-Ji contacts him, sharing the tragic news that Hong-Ju has been involved in an accident. Without hesitation, Hu-Yeong chooses to forego his flight for her sake.

Hu-Yeong hurriedly goes to the hospital and finds Hong-Ju there, injured and lying on a bed. When she regains consciousness, she expresses regret for inconveniencing Hu-Yeong with her predicament. She insists that he should leave, assuring him she’s capable of managing things herself. This leaves Hu-Yeong frustrated, prompting him to ask, “Why do you keep urging me to depart? Where would I even go?” Hong-Ju responds by downplaying the severity of her injury and wondering why Hu-Yeong is becoming agitated. Hu-Yeong reacts with disbelief, exclaiming, “Not a big deal?”

After taking Hong-Ju off guard, Hu-Yeong presses her hand against his chest, allowing her to sense his rapid heartbeat. He queries, “Is this still an insignificant matter for you?” Could this moment reveal Hu-Yeong’s feelings to Hong-Ju? Stay tuned for the next episode.

Serendipity’s Embrace K-drama airs twice a week on Mondays and Tuesdays on tvN and Viki.
