The third episode of the SBS youth drama 'Spring of Youth' (written by Kim Min-chul, directed by Kim Sung-yong), aired on May 14, was a rollercoaster of emotions, blending conflict, mystery, and romantic narratives to captivate its audience.
After drunkenly embracing Park Ji-hu (Kim Bom) and calling her by a pet name the night before, Ha Yoo-jun (Sagye) receives a warning from Lee Seung-hyub (Seo Tae-yang) to not take liberties with Kim Bom. Sagye retorts with a declaration of love, saying, "You can't have everything just because you liked it first. Love doesn't follow a sequence." Furthermore, Sagye confronts Secretary Kang (Kim Seo-ha), who had been monitoring him and Kim Bom, warning that if he continues to stay close to Kim Bom, he might put her in danger. This leads him to send a message to CEO Jo (Jo Han-chul), stating, "If you touch even a hair on Kim Bom's head, I won't stand idly by."
Transforming into Kim Bom's protector, Sagye surprises her by showing up in her class, declaring her his best friend, and continues to stick by her side, engaging in playful banter. Despite her outward grumbles, Kim Bom's expressions were bright, and Seo Tae-yang notes, "It's been six years since I've seen Bom's bright smile." Sagye then announces to the 'Two Sagye' members that they've been selected to open the Hanju University festival, which excites Kim Bom to take charge of the planning. However, Seo Tae-yang and Sagye clash over the concert concept and leadership, leading to a physical altercation. Concerned about the future of 'Two Sagye,' Kim Bom decides to hold an emergency team-building retreat.
Sagye, with the help of Jo and Jo Entertainment's executive producer Georgina (Han Yoo-eun), secures a van for the retreat, inadvertently bringing Georgina along. The tension between Sagye and Seo Tae-yang escalates at the retreat, culminating in a confrontation by a stream. When Kim Bom tries to intervene and stumbles into the water, both Sagye and Seo Tae-yang cease their fight to rescue her. After the incident, both vow not to fight again for Kim Bom's sake.
Kim Bom seizes the moment to assert her leadership, assigning Sagye as the lead guitarist and Seo Tae-yang in charge of the music, declaring, "I'm the leader. I can't trust you guys. I need to take charge of Two Sagye!" This act of leadership brings the group closer, even as it's revealed that Kim Bom's actions were partly a performance to foster reconciliation. Meanwhile, Georgina discovers Kim Bom's composition notebook, sparking intrigue with her untapped talent.
In the meantime, CEO Jo reveals to Seo Min-chul (Kim Jong-tae) that there might be a witness to a six-year-old drunk driving incident, suspecting Sagye as the witness. It turns out, CEO Jo had ignored a victim at the scene of the accident, who was later revealed to be Kim Bom's mother. This revelation raises concerns about Kim Bom's safety around Sagye and Seo Tae-yang.
Seo Min-chul quickly acts to separate Seo Tae-yang from Kim Bom, urging her not to disrupt Seo Tae-yang's medical studies. Kim Bom, standing firm, sends Seo Tae-yang away after revealing her encounter with his father. CEO Jo's attempt to send Kim Bom abroad on a study program is thwarted by her refusal.
Returning home, Seo Tae-yang faces his own challenges, leading to a dramatic confrontation with Seo Min-chul. Eventually, Seo Tae-yang rejoins 'Two Sagye,' and under Kim Bom's assertive leadership, the band finds harmony. The night before the festival, Kim Bom and Sagye share an unexpected moment of closeness, leading to a romantic 'first kiss under the moonlight' ending that leaves viewers eagerly awaiting the next episode.
Meanwhile, the real-life counterparts of 'Spring of Youth' - Ha Yoo-jun, Park Ji-hu, Lee Seung-hyub, and Kim Sun-min - are set to perform as 'Two Sagye' at the Kyung Hee University festival on May 15. The actors, embodying their campus band roles, are expected to deliver a 'youthful vibe' performance, stirring anticipation for their live act that promises to captivate with fresh emotions and vibrant energy.
