“My Lovely Boxer” has shared new stills ahead of its upcoming episode!

Based on the award-winning novel, “My Lovely Boxer” is a drama about a genius boxer named Lee Kwon Sook (Kim So Hye) and a cold-blooded sports agent named Kim Tae Young (Lee Sang Yeob), who doesn’t feel guilty about match fixing or resorting to any means necessary for the success of his athletes.

Previously in “My Lovely Boxer,” Tae Young agreed to pay back 2.5 billion won (approximately $1,882,500) on behalf of Hee Won (Choi Jae Woong), who got caught up in match-fixing to pay for her son’s medical treatment. After finding the hidden genius boxer Lee Kwon Sook and getting involved in the match-fixing, Tae Young succeeded in getting Hee Won transferred to Taiwan, but he later received the shocking news that Hee Won had taken his own life.

In the first set of stills, Tae Young is seen crying by Kwon Sook’s side. Kwon Sook wraps Tae Young’s hand with a hand wrap, just like her father Lee Chul Yong (Kim Hyung Mook) used to do. Tae Young then spars with Kwon Sook while wearing headgear, leaving viewers wondering what led him to throw a punch at Kwon Sook while in despair over Hee Won’s sudden death.
