Let the curse of Taekwondo be Free, at last.

I have never been happier to see someone find their peace and happiness after enduring so much pain in the past. The overwhelming joy that the character redemptions in this episode bring is beyond words. Hyeonho’s journey to find the closure he deserves, being able to confess his feelings and articulate how he has truly felt for Dohae all these years, is portrayed in a way that evokes empathy. Although I was initially annoyed by his presence, understanding all he has done for Dohae—remaining by his side and expressing love in the way he knows best—feels very authentic and makes perfect sense. I do wish for him to treat himself with kindness moving forward, and I hope he finds the love and care he deserves as well.This episode strikes me as exceedingly sweet and endearing, as the main character and the male lead have acknowledged and addressed all their issues. They’ve made the right choices and corrected their mistakes like any decent human being would, breaking the cycle of generational trauma in the best ways they can. Even if it means starting over or facing consequences, it’s heartwarming to see that when they begin anew, their love and care for each other feel even sweeter and happier this time. I’m thrilled that after confronting all these problems, they’ve managed to get back on track and have another chance at love. This time, they can love each other more freely and even dare to dream bigger.And of course, what is a creation by Hwang Daseul without a character discovering the love they’ve missed while running away? The way Dohae was reading the blogs and questions posted by Juyeong from back then serves as a beautiful reminder that he has indeed found his person. Juyeong has sincerely loved him all along, finding ways to express that love—from the MP3 music to listen to while studying, to creating fake snow, and simply making someone happy—Juyeong has been genuine and caring for him. I’m so glad he found Dohae, and I sincerely hope they can continue to love each other for as long as possible.
