3 Elements We’re Waiting To See Play Out After Episodes 7-8 Of “our Universe”

The bumpy travel of accidental co-parents figuring retired adulthood (and possibly love) continues for Tae Hyung (Bae In Hyuk) and Hyun Jin (Roh Jeong Eui) successful “Our Universe,” and nan play of this K-drama has decidedly been turned up a notch.

A long-awaited confession, different wellness scare pinch babe Woo Joo (Park Yu Ho), and a astonishment impermanent pinch suspicious intentions aren’t making it immoderate easier for them, but they’ve gotten this far.

Here are nan 3 biggest questions connected our minds aft episodes 7 and 8:

Warning: episodes 7-8 spoilers ahead!

1. Who will Hyun Jin choose?

The shape for a emotion triangle betwixt Hyun Jin, Tae Hyung, and her manager, Yoon Seong (Park Seo Ham), has already been set.

While Tae Hyung has made his feelings clear pinch a elemental and saccharine confession, Yoon Seong has been much openly pursuing Hyun Jin ever since he stumbled upon nan concealed of her surviving pinch different guy.

In past week’s episodes, Yoon Seong yet makes a confession aft years of liking Hyun Jin successful secret. Since college, there’s ever been thing much than friends betwixt them, but they ne'er sewage nan timing right. Now, arsenic a superior and subordinate astatine work, nan timing isn’t precisely better, but Yoon Seong takes a leap anyway.

Tae Hyung surely hit Yoon Seong to it though, and he and Hyun Jin person been steadily increasing person and sharing much moments together since. However, they haven’t talked astir being thing much than platonic co-parents yet, truthful their moments are stuck successful that awkward, undefined mediate ground.

Everyone’s feelings person been put retired successful nan open; it’s only Hyun Jin who hasn’t responded to her 2 confessions. It’s only a matter of clip earlier she’ll person to make things clear and choose.

2. Is Hyun Jin going to support her job?

Another large point connected nan statement extracurricular of Hyun Jin’s emotion life is her job. This is arguably much important astatine nan moment, fixed she has to supply for a kid now. Nonetheless, Hyun Jin has some a triumph and a setback astatine work, either of which could find whether she is kept connected arsenic a full-time employee.

The setback comes erstwhile personification leaks institution accusation astir an upcoming project. It’s suspected to beryllium personification connected her team, truthful nan blasted falls connected her since she is nan newest prosecute and a impermanent employee.

Rumors quickly move astir nan office, and she’s getting broadside eyes and glares from coworkers who judge it was her. It’s besides being said that she’s getting typical curen from her head because they’re from nan aforesaid school.

At nan aforesaid clip this is each going on, Hyun Jin is asked by Yoon Seong to hole nan transportation position for a task that their squad has been moving on, which has now go nan company’s main project.

This excessively comes pinch a snag though, because nan higher-ups opportunity they want personification pinch much seniority and acquisition to present, truthful they travel up pinch a solution: person Hyun Jin and a elder worker compete pinch their presentations. The higher-ups will take which is better, adjacent and square.

As hardworking and bully astatine her occupation arsenic she is (and pinch a small thief from Tae Hyung), Hyun Jin easy succeeds. And nan bully news comes: her champion friend (Choi Gyu Ri), who besides useful astatine nan company, hears from an HR relationship that Hyun Jin is successful nan moving for a full-time position, and her sanction is astatine nan apical of nan list.

As it is now, it looks for illustration it could spell either measurement for Hyun Jin, but to return attraction of Woo Joo successful nan agelong run, she really needs this full-time job.

3. What is Tae Hyung’s begetter up to?

In episodes 7 and 8, Tae Hyung’s begetter appears, and there’s a batch to unpack.

When Hyun Jin returns to nan flat and finds nan doorway ajar and each nan lights off, she fears it mightiness beryllium nan perpetrator who has been targeting women successful nan neighborhood, but it ends up being Tae Hyung’s estranged father.

His begetter claims that aft seeing personification lurking extracurricular their doorway for immoderate time, he conscionable went successful because nan doorway was already unlocked. He says each he was doing was looking for his son.

Initially, Tae Hyung wants thing to do pinch him. After all, he was abandoned arsenic a kid while his begetter sewage into problem chasing money. But his begetter says he is done pinch each that and wants thing but to beryllium capable to spot his son.

Tae Hyung tells him to time off them alone, but his begetter doesn’t springiness up. He continues to show up extracurricular his apartment, he becomes friends pinch nan neighbors, and he moreover offers to babysit Woo Joo.

It’s during different Woo Joo wellness scare that he saves nan day, quickly recognizing and treating Woo Joo’s allergic guidance because his oldest boy had nan aforesaid allergy.

He’s checking disconnected each nan correct boxes for a rehabilitated dada who wants to do good.

Tae Hyung slow starts warming up to him aft he helps during Woo Joo’s allergic reaction, contempt being nan only 1 successful nan opening who is suspicious of his father’s intentions. Hyun Jin and their neighbors moreover extremity up encouraging him to forgive and reconnect.

But things commencement getting weird.

It’s really nan co-parent’s goofy neighbour Bae Du Sik (Kim In Kwon) from nan heater fiasco successful a erstwhile section that picks up connected it first.

He has a chat pinch immoderate constabulary serviceman friends and finds retired that though nan vicinity perpetrator has been caught, he denied ever having touched Hyun Jin and Tae Hyung’s flat to nan very end. Du Sik puts together that thing is disconnected astir nan begetter and his communicative astir nan nighttime he showed up.

At astir nan aforesaid clip Tae Hyung’s begetter shows up, Hyun Jin happens to beryllium dealing pinch her sister’s and brother-in-law’s life security policy. It’s intelligibly difficult revisiting their passing, but it’s clip to grip nan decease use payout.

When Hyun Jin is doing nan security paperwork, she learns that different “guardian” has been inquiring astir nan policy, but nan security worker describes him arsenic a middle-aged man.

While nan father’s return seemed guiltless capable astatine first, nan reside shifts to thing sinister by nan extremity of section 8. All signs constituent to his begetter being up to something, but what? Only this week will tell!
