Episode 16 is the ending of Byun Hyuk, Baek Joon, and Kwon Je-hoon’s story. In this episode, Baek Joon is trying to get a document regarding bribery, and the three of them (Hyuk, Baek Joon, and Je-hoon) planned to reveal the truth and make his father aware that what he has done so far is to gain profit in the wrong ways. They were arrested and handcuffed by police who are their new neighbors. At first, Baek Joon was worried about it, then Hyuk assured her by smiling at her as if to say “everything will be fine, don’t worry”. In the prison, Hyuk admitted that he regretted having to do the plan, and also regretted that he had not made his father aware and prevented his father’s actions. Je-hoon also regrets that he didn’t sincerely help Hyuk before and accept him as his friend from the first. This is due to resentment and wanting revenge towards Hyuk’s family, who sent his father to the jail to protect Hyuk. Hyuk’s father had to be interogated by police and the prosecutor because of the bribery case that he made. His father and the oldest brother really get upset at Hyuk because he had dishonored their family, and especially his oldest brother, who felt that Hyuk also wanted to take over the company that will be passed on to his oldest brother. Baek Joon and Je-hoon give him support, and were proud of Hyuk for taking the big risks. After that, Je-hoon and Baek Joon go to Je-hoon’s new home, and it makes Hyuk feel jealous and think that Je-hoon still loves her. Je-hoon finally dared to tell about his feelings for Baek Joon, which he kept for eight years, and he doesn’t want to Baek Joon’s answer. He admitted that when he refuesd her, he actually feel so nervous and didn’t know what to do to express his feelings. Baek Joon chose to leave the city and move to another place for a year. She did this to take a rest for a while after she had been working for a long time. On the other hand, the company’s situation is getting better, Hyuk hired his friends as employees at Bungsu Group Company. Je-hoon, who previously resigned, chose to work again in his old company with a sincere desire and without revenge. Meanwhile Hyuk suddenly ran into Baek Joon, and they met on the airplane. Overall, this drama has a good plot and mild conflicts, where the conflicts often occur in our real life, that are about bribery, nepotism, etc. This drama doesn’t fully contain romanticism, although the three main characters are involved in a love triangle. But, it’s more directed towards friendship, family life, and having the courage to go through life with self-revolution. Even though at the ending there are still some characters whose story doesn’t get all tied up, such as not finding out about Hyuk’s older brother’s fate, and the series got pretty low rating, the drama is still very good to recommend to you!
