Warning: mention of a suicide attempt.

In the previous episode of “Kokdu: Season of Deity,” Kokdu was terrified that Han Gye Jeol's tragic fate from her past life would repeat itself after her old hairpin returned to her hand. When the life of his younger brother Jung Yi Deun (Lee Jung Joon) is threatened, Kokdu - now overcome with guilt - decides to protect those he loves with his own goal.

Ending his own life, Kokdu sought out Kim Pil Soo (Choi Kwang Il) and deliberately got him to stab his already injured chest. The episode ended with a devastating cliffhanger, with Kokdu falling to the ground bleeding as his fate became uncertain.

In heartbreaking new stills from the drama's upcoming episode, Kokdu enjoys a romantic day with an oblivious Han Gye Jeol while hiding that his life is in danger. Hoping to enjoy a casual date with the woman he loves, Kokdu tries to playfully joke with Han Gye Jeol and take selfies like a normal couple.

However, when the pair embrace and Han Gye Jeol cannot see his face, Kokdu's expression darkens, revealing the immense pain he is in.
