Shutting Down a Love Triangle
The drama intensified in the episode released on May 12th. A potential rival for Ki-jung's affections, Ahn Ye-rim, played by Kang Hye-won, attempted to create a wedge.

This bold action not only raised the dramatic stakes but also powerfully reinforced his unwavering devotion to Song Woo-yeon, portrayed by Park Ji-hoo.
The Heart-Melting Confession
With the rival's interference firmly handled, Ki-jung shifted into what fans are calling his straightforward mode.

He tenderly embraced her vulnerabilities and delivered a raw, sincere confession of his feelings. The scene reached its peak when a flustered Woo-yeon finally mustered the courage to confess her own feelings. In a line that has melted hearts across the internet, Ki-jung responded, "I like you even more." This exchange created a profoundly pure and healing romantic moment that has viewers eagerly anticipating the couple's future journey together.
A Star-Making Performance
