Hae-Joo’s Waiting Game
The story takes a dramatic turn as Hee-joo is left alone after a series of intense events.

However, Hyuk-jin’s reaction to her determination suggests that finding Sa-eon won’t be easy. This sets the stage for a tense and emotional conclusion as Hee-joo fights to reunite with Sa-eon.
Adding to the tension, Hong In-ah (Han Jae-yi) delivers cryptic advice to Hee-joo, leaving her visibly emotional. Their conversation hints at hidden truths, but its full meaning remains a mystery.
A Long-Awaited Ending
The production team has promised a memorable conclusion to the 20-year love story between Sa-eon and Hee-joo. Whether their bond can withstand the challenges they’ve faced remains to be seen. Fans are eager to learn the fate of the “Saju Couple” and how their journey ends in the series finale.
