Oct 12, 2023

Mr. Na goes towards the unconscious Hong-jo, only to learn that she was pretending to be drugged. Hong-jo reveals that Sam-sik confessed about the plan and she purposely came to get Na arrested. Hong-jo sprays mace in his eyes and runs out of the cave. Meanwhile, Shin-yu and the cops arrive at the cave and see the two missing. Shin-yu understands where Na would take her to and he asks the cops to follow him.
Meanwhile, Na knocks Hong-jo and takes her to the same spot where he previously dug a pit. Over there, he ties a red string connecting both of their pinky fingers and says that they will “soul marry” each other when the full moon rises. He feeds her poison and decides to end his life so that they both can be together in the next life. Thankfully, Shin-yu and the police arrive. They arrest Na and send Hong-jo to the hospital.

Hong-jo recovers and Shin-yu’s parents visit her. When Shin-yu’s father denies their relationship again, Shin-yu opens up about the Shaman, Eun-wol’s dream about a girl daughter that he is going to have with Hong-jo. This startles them all and Shin-yu’s father subtly accepts their relationship.
After all the chaos settles down, Sam-sik meets Hong-jo and discusses how he failed to tell the cops back then about Na’s vileness despite knowing it was he who killed his wife. Sam-sik tells Hong-jo that if he goes to jail, the small boy U-ram will have to go to the orphanage. Back in the office, a viral video of Nayeon pouring wine over Hong-jo goes viral. Everything that happened in the hotel, that is, the story of Nayeon forcing her ex-boyfriend Min-ho to kiss Hong-jo, trends. This causes a buzz in the City Hall.

Hong-jo doesn’t thank Min-ho for sharing the video since he failed to save her in High School. She acknowledges it and lets it go. Shin-yu gives his resignation letter to the Mayor who yells at him to not quit. Shin-yu mentions the ongoing ruckus regarding Nayeon and that’s when the Mayor finds out about the video. At the same time, Nayeon meets up with Hyeon-seo and asks him to marry her. He insults her and mentions that he won’t marry a bully.

Nayeon finds the viral video and tries to contact Min-ho but he doesn’t pick it up. Nayeon visits Hong-jo at her place and starts bashing at her. Just then the police arrive and arrest her for being Na’s ally. At Shin-yu’s office, Jae-kyung comes and asks him to be his lawyer for an important case. The next day media covers the wrongdoings of the Mayor and Hyeon-seo and it is understood that Jae-kyung has blown the whistle.

A still from the series “Destined With You”Jae-kyung states about the illegal issue and the bribery. Shin-yu gives appropriate evidence and gets Jae-kyung safely out of the mess. Jae-kyung and Hong-jo meet and the former tells her that he is going to the Blue House as many politicians have approached him after the case. After some days, Hong-jo’s colleagues Ma Eun-yeong and Gong Seo-gu get married. Wook decides to quit the law firm and join Shin-yu’s mother in the film.

At the film set, Shin-yu’s father brings a fan truck for his wife and supports her. When Sam-sik gets into trouble with the police, Shin-yu decides to be his legal lawyer so that he can save him. Jae-kyung moves out and tells Hong-jo that he regrets not accepting her confession. She says that love is a collaboration of timing and destiny and that one will soon come his way. They both bid farewell.

Soon, Shin-yu buys the entire house and moves into the first floor along with Hong-jo. When Shin-yu’s parents and Eun-wol come for breakfast, they urge them both to get married but they state they aren’t ready for it. Eun-wol says that they will soon have a daughter but Shin-yu replies saying Hong-jo isn’t conceived.
