Brewing Love

After wrapping up another case of an unpaid bill, Yong -ju gets dragged into another dilemma with the competition. Although it's resolved amicably, she hears her sales branch is on the verge of closing due to an extremely loved craft beer. Meanwhile, Min-ju continues to brew his Naro Beer, the beer everyone loves, in the Chungcheong Province while giving Chan-hui a job and blocking out the things that overwhelm him.

Yong-ju gets a chance to save the Busan branch and heads to work at the head office. All she needs to do is win over Yoon Min-ju to work with Jisang Liquor. After realizing he was the man she met at the carnival, she learns how difficult Min-ju could be. However, Yong-ju doesn't give up, and her strong mentality begins to break down his walls.

Yong-ju's persistence works its way down Min-ju's nerves, but he still has room for her as the empath he is. However, he still pushes her away. While the town prepares for the Uilhan Hop Beer Festival, Yong-ju doesn't give up and heads to the Uilhan Pub to drink as much as she can, causing Min-ju to show up. Meanwhile, Ah-reum gathers the town for a meeting and reveals something shocking.

Convincing Yoon Min-ju to collaborate with Jisang Liquor is proving challenging for Yong-ju. However, she’s unwilling to exploit his vulnerabilities to secure his agreement. Facing open hostility from the villagers, she opts for a patient approach, hoping Min-ju will eventually recognise her genuine intentions. Meanwhile, a significant part of the beer festival preparations go wrong just before the event is set to begin.

Yong-ju and her task force team members have a workshop in a coastal city. Watching Yong-ju jump into the ocean to save a person from drowning, Min-ju realizes that his feelings for Yong-ju are growing. Also, they learn that their competitor is playing a cheat to increase its sales. Meanwhile, Chan-hwi witnesses Ah-reum working part-time at a convenience store and discovers a big secret about Ah-reum.

The higher-ups of Jisang Liquor suddenly decide to change the business strategy for the new product Yong-ju and Min-ju are working on together. Yong-ju strongly believes that there’s a spy in her task force behind the higher-ups' decision. When Min-ju is short of hands with the rising volume of orders from his clients, unexpected supporters arrive at his brewery to offer help.

After learning that Yong-ju is his saviour, Min-ju falls head over heels for her, but something tells him something isn't right. He terrorises the town for comfort, driving the townspeople mad. Meanwhile, the first beer sample produced between Uilhan Brewery and Jisang Liquor is poured and tasted. Later, Min-ju discovers that Yong-ju's grandmother's health conditions could have been his fault, pushing him to retreat into the mountains.

Yong-ju struggles to understand her feelings toward Min-ju. Sensing this, Min-ju reassures her that he won’t rush her and will wait until she’s ready. However, when Min-ju’s high school friend and former girlfriend pays him a visit, it stirs jealousy in Yong-ju. Later, Min-ju invites Yong-ju on a date, but as she returns home afterwards, she notices an unusual and unsettling silence in the house.
