[Sports Today reporter Im Si-ryeong] A beloved national actress’s romance has been revealed. In JTBC’s weekend drama Efficient Meetings for Singles, Moon Jung-hee intensified the series’ stakes with a layered, emotionally rich performance amid complicated relationships.

In the drama, Son Jeong-ah (Moon Jung-hee)’s romance comes into focus, and as public interest swelled, the misunderstandings surrounding her began to clear.

Earlier, top actress Jeong-ah was engulfed in a scandal after she handed Jisoo (Lee Ki-taek) a bouquet and a cryptic note inviting him to a hotel, and it later emerged she had been funding his theater troupe. Those revelations increased curiosity about the secretive bond between Jeong-ah and Jisoo. When Son Jeong-ah’s full love story was unveiled, attention intensified.

It was revealed that “surgeon A,” Shin Ji-hoon (Choi Won-young) — who was reported during the scandal to be living with Jeong-ah — had in fact legally registered their marriage. The younger man at the center of the controversy, model “C” Shin Ji-soo, turned out to be his stepson. With the true dynamics among the three laid bare, Ji-soo’s sharp words and icy behavior toward Jeong-ah exposed fractures in the family’s fragile atmosphere and raised questions about what unfolds next.

Moon Jung-hee preserved Son Jeong-ah’s dignity while convincingly conveying the character’s interior life. She naturally revealed a tender side that puts her stepson’s wounds ahead of her own, and she subtly mapped the fraught emotions between Ji-hoon and Ji-soo. Particularly striking are the moments when the usually composed Jeong-ah falters and struggles to speak in front of Ji-soo, laying bare her shaken inner world. Moon methodically constructs the character’s emotional currents, gradually amplifying the drama’s tension.

Meanwhile, Efficient Meetings for Singles — a drama that continues to provoke interest with its interwoven family relationships and character-driven storytelling — airs Saturdays at 10:40 p.m. and Sundays at 10:30 p.m. on JTBC.
