The Episode Review
I was really looking forward to this episode, as I thought it would finally bring the couple back together. However, I was disappointed when the show ended without giving us a clear answer as to why they didn’t get back together. The problems that Ji-woo has with Seo-joon are very minor when it comes to major relationship complexities in Korean dramas.
Since this is the untold story from Seo-joon and Ji-woo’s universe, we will have to give them the benefit of the doubt. The couple really is a situation of opposites attract and it is commendable the type of things Seo-joon does for Ji-woo.
Ji-woo should realise that he is missing out on a lot by letting Seo-joon go. There seems to be something going on between Ji-woo and Sung-yoon, but I’m sure it’s just a minor misunderstanding and Ji-woo really doesn’t have any feelings for her. ..
