Do the villagers think that Ji-yul and Ja-young are related?
The villager, who was not looking at the couple but at the car parked near the alleyway, decided to steal the car.
As it turns out, Dr. Choi and Nurse Yeong-suk were sneaking around together. Ji-yul and Ja-young are shocked to discover that the two had been making out inside the car. Dr. Choi and Yeong-suk confess that they were dating but Ja-young lies that she ran into Ji-yul on her way back from work. The villager is shocked that Yeong-suk is dating someone from Seoul. ..
At the clinic, Yeong-suk and Dr. Choi are flirting with each other but Ja-young and Ji-yul watch them from afar in parody. Ja-young asks Yeong-suk how it all went down while Ji-yul asks Dr. Choi if he was only fooling around with the nurse. He claims that he is serious about being with Yeong-suk and wishes to make it work despite the distance. ..
The couple on their day off goes to the beach, enjoys the sun, and maybe takes a walk or two.
Ji-yul and Ja-young go to the movies together as planned, and Ji-yul is able to openly express his feelings for Ja-young. Yeong-suk calls Ji-yul later that day to apologize for having to cancel their appointment, but tells Ji-yul that he had a great time at the movies with Ja-young. ..
Officer Man-sung calls Ja-young for a special case and they end up getting more and more occupied throughout the day. It is only later that night that Ja-young is free but Geun-mo calls for a team dinner.
She tries declining but they convince her to join them. Ja-young is upset and texts Ji-yul that she will only be able to meet him after dinner. She is about to leave after having a bite when two drunken men break out in a fight. Ja-young is frustrated that she did not get to spend a minute of her day off with her boyfriend.
Ja-young was drunk when she went to a convenience store and stole a pack of cigarettes. ..
She ends up getting drunk on Soju and asks Ji-yul to meet her outside the Public Address Office. Ji-yul arrives first and runs into the village women there. Ja-young is drunk but determined as she arrives. She makes it inside the PA office and makes a Public Service Announcement (PSA) to the entire town.
She claims that she is now dating Ji-yul and asks the villagers to think about her personal life and be understanding about her being busy otherwise. The couple leaves the PS office and the villagers tell them that the entire village already knew that the two were together. On their walk to Ja-young’s house, she is pissed that the couple wasted so much time hiding around when the villagers already knew they were dating.
Ja-young drags Ji-yul to her house and the couple tints their ring fingers using henna leaves like they used to do as children. The summer break is over and it has been two weeks since Ji-yul went back to Seoul. Yeong-suk wonders how Ji-yul and Ja-young are keeping in touch but the cop claims that they only text and call sometimes. ..
Ja-young is angry at Ji-yul because he did not listen to her when she said she was going to take a break.
The nurse tells Ja-young that she must spend time talking to Ji-yul over the phone or text him constantly to keep their relationship healthy. Ja-young makes a video call to Ji-yul and learns that he fractured his hand after falling off the stairs. She is upset with him for hiding the matter from her. Ji-yul apologises but claims that he did not want her to worry which is why he kept it a secret from him. ..
Ja-young is upset with Ji-yul for not giving her a chance to be there for him when he was in trouble and ends the call without giving him a chance to explain himself. Dr. Choi tells Ji-yul that being considerate of one’s partner and their busy schedule should not keep partners from communicating about issues. He claims that the point of dating is to bother and nag your significant other. ..
Ja-young vents to Sang-hyeon about her relationship issues with Ji-yul. She claims that she is sad about Ji-yul being in pain and regrets being angry with him. Sang-hyeon asks her to reconcile by visiting him. Ja-young and Ji-yul both end up driving to each other. Once he reaches Huidong, Ji-yul calls Ja-young who shockingly explains that she was in Seoul at his clinic visiting him. Ji-yul is shocked and drives back to Seoul immediately. ..
Do Ji-yul and Ja-young reunite in Seoul?
Dr. Choi hangs out with Ja-young at the clinic for a while and leaves her to wait for her boyfriend. A few hours later, Ji-yul makes it back to Seoul and the two reconcile. Ja-young claims that she can hang out with the villagers when she is bored but since Ji-yul only has Dr. Choi, she wants to come to Seoul often to visit him.
The couple claims that the distance should not worry them since they have a long way to go in their relationship. The kiss and make up seem to be going well, but then Ja-young starts to help tourists attend the peach-picking session at Sang-hyeon’s farm. The young farmer is pretty popular among female tourists, and Ja-young hopes that he finds a partner soon. Sang-hyeon asks Ja-young to go to the vet clinic to let Ji-yul’s grandfather, Dr Han vaccinate Nurungji’s puppies.
Ja-young and Ji-yul end up together.
Ja-young is surprised to see Ji-yul instead of his grandfather at the clinic. Ji-yul congratulates Ja-young’s girlfriend on her promotion at work and informs her that he too was promoted to director. She is confused and Ji-yul explains that he had moved to Huidong for good and will be working as the vet in his grandfather’s clinic as the old man tours around the world with Ji-yul’s grandmother. Ja-young is shocked but hopes that Ji-yul is not making a hasty decision. ..
Ja-young tells him that she doesn’t want to get married soon because she wants to enjoy her youth. Ji-yul gives her a ring instead and says that he will propose to her when the time is right. They sit outside the clinic and chat in peace as the show comes to an end. ..
The episode was so wholesome and I honestly really miss the show already. As much as I loved the show, I can’t emphasize enough how much it would have been better for this to be a regular K-drama with hourlong 16 full episodes instead of what we got. Ja-young (Park Soo-young) as Ja-young is really cute and adorably nice. Drunk Ja-young took me out though.
I had last seen Yeong-woo in School 2021 and I think he is the new tsundere boy in K-dramas. This drama shows that Yeong-woo has the potential to be chaotic and I loved seeing him as Ji-yul. Can we all have a #JusticeForSanghyeon campaign if there isn’t one yet? Sang-hyeon being single by the end of the show is the only thing I am sad about after the end of this beautiful show that is wholesome and healing, to say the least. ..
