Second Shot At Love Episode 3 Recap
The chapter began by teasing a mystery surrounding Ui Jun. The psychiatrist secretly depends on alcohol to hide a mystery from his past. Meanwhile, he furiously ignores his childhood friend when he finds her drunk. Lee Young Woong helps Ui Jun and Geum Ju rekindle their relationship. He visits his friend at his clinic and explains how much Geum Ju cares about him.
Ui Jun and Geum Ju unexpectedly meet at the lakeside. The psychiatrist suggests that his friend take a self-assessment test on alcohol dependency. She refuses to do so because of her confidence in alcohol tolerance. However, Geum Ju thinks about alcohol after she receives a refund message for her wedding hall. She calls her father to celebrate, and they enjoy a drink with Han Hyun Joo.
The trio successfully hides everything from Kim Gwang Ok until she sees the purchase bill. Gwang Ok confronts her husband and two daughters about their alcohol consumption. When the trio admits everything, she decides to leave the house and file for divorce. The trio requests her to change the decision and agrees to attend a campaign against alcoholism.
The Shocking News
The female lead attended the sobriety camp in hopes of reducing her alcohol dependency. Things took an unexpected turn after she received a message with details about Kim Ju Yeop and Lee Ha Na. Geum Ju runs away from the camp and hides inside the mountain. Everywhere in the camp are searches.
Meanwhile, Ui Jun went to Seoul with an emergency patient and saw Kim Ju Yeop with Lee Ha Na. The couple was excitedly talking about their unborn child. Their conversation helped Ui Jun understand why Geum Ju called off her wedding. He felt sorry for her and decided to ask her. When he reached the sobriety camp, people informed him that his friend was missing. He searched for her everywhere and saw her sitting alone on the mountain. She struggled to hold back her tears in front of him. He let her cry out loud.

Reactions
The first half of #SecondShotAtLoveEp3 lost me, but the second half pulled through. Geum-joo needs a bit more tough love. The show doesn't romanticize alcoholism, but I wish it highlighted resources more. She's lucky to have support.
I rly liked the direction where the show is leading, I get her mom's frustration about it & how she literally has power over the whole town that was hilarious — also kinda sad to see the sad history between both leads - nevertheless, can't wait for more!
The scene at the end of episode 3 of Second Shot At Love with Geumju opening up crying about her getting betrayed by the fiancé was so good, I hope they'll give us more raw scenes like that, but this being a romcom, I expect the comedy part to take over half the episodes!
What's important in #SecondShotatLove is not about judging that Geumju is bad. Regardless of her liking alcohol, she probably didn't exactly want it to get to this extent either, but there's no other way out to escape her problems. It would have been all right if there had not been an affair.
