Episode 6 of the SBS Wednesday-Thursday drama ‘Sold Out on You’ (written by Jin Seung-hee, directed by Ahn Jong-yeon), which aired on the 7th, depicted the warm healing project of Matthew Lee (Ahn Hyo Seop) for Dam Ye-jin (Chae Won-been), who fell into a crisis after declaring she would not sell a product during a live broadcast.
Driven by its tense plot and heart-fluttering romance, the episode recorded a peak viewership rating of 4.1% per minute, according to Nielsen Korea. The viewership rating in the metropolitan area also showed an upward trend, reaching 3.1%. Additionally, as of the 7th, it ranked 3rd on the Netflix Global Top 10 Non-English TV Shows list, proving its immense popularity.
In the drama, Dam Ye-jin’s principled decision resulted in a harsh backlash. After receiving a contract termination notice from Hit Home Shopping and losing everything, Dam Ye-jin suffered from severe sleep disorders, evoking sympathy from viewers. To protect Dam Ye-jin, who was bearing the burden alone, Matthew Lee brought her to Deokpung Village and began a special ‘Sleep Recovery Project.’
Matthew Lee spared no effort in his meticulous care, providing food and bedding optimized for sleep and even attaching protective guards to furniture corners to ensure Dam Ye-jin wouldn't get hurt while sleeping. This 24-hour close care from Matthew Lee not only normalized Dam Ye-jin’s daily routine but also brought a subtle flutter to her heart toward him.
At the end of the episode, Dam Ye-jin, who woke up from Matthew Lee’s gentle touch, kissed him first and confessed, "I missed you," before falling back asleep, making viewers’ hearts race. Curiosity is at an all-time high regarding whether this confession was a defenseless truth induced by sleep medication, and what the second act of their romance will hold.
The story of the ‘Sold Out’ duo, which has begun to move rapidly amidst their unexpected cohabitation, will continue in episode 7 of ‘Sold Out on You,’ airing on Wednesday, May 13, at 9:00 PM.
