According to Nielsen Korea, on the evening of October 24, episode 5 of "Let Me Go" starring Jung So Min and Choi Woo Sik aired with a rating of 7.5%, the highest since it aired.
This achievement is surprising as the details in the episode were predicted by the audience, and the previous 2 episodes all recorded a decrease in viewership, reaching 6.1% and 5.6% respectively.
According to the film's development, Yoo Meri (Jung So Min) and Kim Woo Joo (Choi Woo Sik) continue to act as a couple in front of Baek Sang Hyun (Bae Na Ra) - the CEO at the shopping mall - where Meri was awarded a housewarming award.
However, the situation gradually changed when Woo Joo realized that Meri was the person he had met as a child and began to have feelings for her. He even kept the couple's wedding photos in his wallet and often thought about her and smiled.
The episode also shows more of Meri and Woo Joo's bonding when they meet by chance at a restaurant, or Meri actively cooking to wish Woo Joo a happy birthday. Here, Woo Joo's past story is also revealed.
For 22 years, he has lived in poverty because he believes he is the one who caused the death of his parents. Meanwhile, the reality of the film has revealed that Woo Joo's uncle was the culprit.
Meanwhile, Doctor Yoon Jin Kyung (Shin Seul Ki) - who has feelings for Woo Joo - was destined to confess his love to him at a romantic restaurant, but failed to know that Woo Joo had recognized that Meri was the girl he had always searched for.
As for Kim Woo Joo (Seo Bum June), Meri's ex-fiance, he returned to Korea after being "played" by his lover. He immediately called and asked for Meri. Seeing Meri Woo Joo (Choi Woo Sik) being intimate in a luxury apartment makes him crave to conquer Meri once again.
