Mental Coach Jegal Episode 12 Recap
Jegal Gil rushes to Cha Ga Eul after she leaves the hospital because of Han Yeo Woon. She tells him she likes him again and asks him to allow her to do so, even just for a day. Park Seung Ha warns him about the actions he just did, but he assures her he will not date an athlete.
Instead, he explains that he also faces countertransference since he sees himself in Cha Ga Eul.
Lee Moo Kyeol, on the other hand, stays with Han Yeo Woon in the hospital as she deals with a dreaded health issue. He also urges her to get the biopsy. As he stays with her, he starts thinking about whether he also likes Han Yeo Woon.
After the biopsy, they detected a malignant tumor that might cause her to give up the Olympics. However, she insists on participating in the World Cup and the Olympics.
Cha Ga Eul then tells Lee Moo Kyeol that he likes Han Yeo Woon, causing him to open up to Jegal Gil.
