The Episode Review

Finally! After many episodes, Song-Hwa has finally revealed her feeling to Ik-Jun and they shared a kiss. It has been a long time coming  but thanks to the flashbacks, we can understand why it took Song-Hwa so long. It had to take Ik-Jun being injured for her to realize how she felt and what a great ending it was for this penultimate episode.

There’s happy news all round when Seok-Hyeong also told Min-Ha that he liked her. She may not have been waiting as long as Ik-Jun but it was still quite a while. It also looks like Ik-Sun and Jun-Wan might be getting on better.

All of this seem to be heading towards a happy ending as we reach the finale next. This season has certainly been just as strong as the first and while we don’t know yet if there will be a third season, we can definitely say that we had some amazing and emotional episodes throughout!
