Park Jae-chan’s character in Bitter Sweet Hell shows an unexpected twist in episode 9

Bitter Sweet Hell, also known as Our House, is a new Korean drama currently airing on MBC. It is directed by Lee Dong Hyun and stars Kim Hee Sun, Lee Hye Young, Kim Nam Hee, and Yeonwoo. This MBC drama premiered on May 24, 2024.

Also starring in this dark comedy and thriller-drama is Park Jae-chan from the K-pop boy group DKZ. Jae-chan plays Choi Do Hyun, the son of Young Won (Kim Hee Seon) and Jae Jin (Kim Nam Hee).

In Bitter Sweet Hell, it seemed as though Do Hyun was involved in a romantic connection with So Yi, played by Han Sung Min, who was presumed to be his girlfriend. Additionally, it was shown that So Yi was 11 weeks pregnant with Do Hyun's baby. Even So Yi’s mother (Kim Yeo Jin) met Young Won and Sa Gang in episode 8, where they discussed how to handle So Yi’s pregnancy.

That being said, in episode 9, Do Hyun admitted to his mother that he did not have feelings for So Yi but rather for his male friend Jun Ho. In the turn of events, this was another revelation about Young Won’s family members following Choi Go Myu, Jae Jin, and Sa Gang’s secrets.

The internet was surprised as a result of the recent narrative twist involving Jae-chan's character. Particularly because it is Pride Month, viewers were thrilled to learn that his character was revealed as gay. Numerous admirers lauded Jae-chan's performance in the emotionally charged sequence.

Fans can catch Bitter Sweet Hell on Friday and Saturday at 21:50 KST on the MBC network. Streaming options for overseas viewers include Viu and Rakuten Viki. There will be a total of 12 episodes in this K-drama.
