by starrygazer
Our ex-CEO and her husband have some sacrifices to make in our finale, and issues take an sudden flip for them. In the meantime, our trainee lastly stands on his personal two ft together with his hardships considerably resolved. And as for the antagonist of our present? All of it ends with a little bit of a whimper.
EPISODES 11-12
Soo-hyun is aware of she has made a mistake in handing over Yoo Jin-woo and is prepared to sacrifice what she must for her best-ever protege. Soo-hyun is in a bidding conflict with CEO Jang to purchase Yoo Jin-woo’s contract again, and they’re given every week to collect the cash and whoever comes first will get it. Yoo Jin-woo is allowed to depart the dorm and return to Soo-hyun’s place, however he tells her he has an issue – he can’t appear to sing. (It appears like Yoo Jin-woo’s anxiousness is holding him again.)
As a way to launch Yoo Jin-woo from his contract, Soo-hyun sells the sock manufacturing unit she lately bought for Shim Jin-woo at half the value. And for the remainder of the cash, Soo-hyun falls on her delight and asks her father (whom she has a fractious relationship with) for a mortgage. Soo-hyun’s familial relationships haven’t actually been explored sufficient for us to grasp why that is so exhausting for her, although. Sure, her father deserted the household, however why is she nonetheless clinging on to her dislike for him a long time later?
Joon-seok can also be looking for the cash to assist his spouse and tries to buddy as much as Bong-kyu, which at all times amuses me. Joon-seok asks Bong-kyu if he’ll put money into Yoo Jin-woo and assist them out. Bong-Kyu isn’t eager on the concept as he says it’s not very worthwhile, however a run in with Jang-hwa modifications his thoughts considerably. Jang-hwa tells Bong-kyu she labored with Soo-hyun as a result of she was all in favour of Jang-hwa’s desires and ambition. And this appears to make Bong-kyu suppose twice.
As soon as Soo-hyun has gathered all the cash she sends Joon-seok to TA Leisure to purchase Yoo Jin-woo’s contract again, however he’s too late. CEO Jang has overwhelmed him to the punch. In a tense stand-off, Bong-kyu enters the assembly and informs CEO Jang he has been relieved of his place. This implies Soo-hyun and Joon-seok have launched Yoo Jin-woo from that terrible firm, and he’s now free to pursue his dream with them.
Frightened about Soo-hyun, Joon-seok goes to see her father and tells him that he can pay him again, not Soo-hyun. Joon-seok will get indignant with Soo-hyun’s father for the best way he has handled Soo-hyun and tells him by no means to contact her once more. He takes on the debt himself and goes to make use of it to save lots of a child that’s “like a second son to him.” (It’s taken Joon-seok far too lengthy to lastly rise up for Yoo Jin-woo!)
Joon-seok has written a track referred to as “Smile Once more” for Yoo Jin-woo to launch and acquired a hoop for Soo-hyun. Soo-hyun loves the story of the track and says it’s excellent for Yoo Jin-woo. However Joon-seok says it’s her story — not Yoo Jin-woo’s. Candy. Joon-seok then apologizes for asking for a divorce and offers Soo-hyun the ring. He needs them to begin once more.
In true Soo-hyun, style she gained’t settle for his apology and gained’t give the ring again (lol). Then she asks for the divorce papers to signal. Soo-hyun is as prickly as ever, however that is the best way they tease one another. I discover it a bit of jarring, however I suppose it’s to spotlight Soo-hyun’s exhausting exterior in opposition to Joon-seok’s open kindness.
It’s now Bong-kyu’s flip to butter up Joon-seok, taking him for rooster and beer. Bong-kyu asks Joon-seok if he would be the new CEO of Pandora, and Joon-seok asks him why he doesn’t simply rent Soo-hyun again. The lads agree that Soo-hyun is just too exhausting to deal with, and Bong-kyu suggests to Joon-seok that if he had been to rent Soo-hyun he would want Joon-seok to return on board as co-CEO and handle her. (Why is Joon-seok not grabbing this chance with each arms!?)
In the meantime, Yoo Jin-woo is beginning to see a future for himself after hitting all-time low. As for Shim Jin-woo, he does rather a lot to help Yoo Jin-woo, letting him know they didn’t promote the manufacturing unit for Yoo Jin-woo’s sake: they did it for Soo-hyun to launch her from her guilt. Yoo Jin-woo is sincere with Shim Jin-woo about how he used Shim Jin-woo’s bullying downside to get Soo-hyun on his facet at first, however Shim Jin-woo doesn’t care. (These two are so likable once they’re collectively!)
When making an attempt to document the track Joon-seok wrote, Yoo Jin-woo freezes once more. Yoo Jin-woo tells Soo-hyun and Joon-seok that each one he can hear in his head when he tries to sing is his heartbeat and other people yelling at him. Soo-hyun asks if Yoo Jin-woo thinks everyone seems to be like that, and factors to his fan mail and presents from followers. Soo-hyun tells Yoo Jin-woo to see himself objectively. Now that is sound recommendation.
Soo-hyun and Joon-seok make Yoo Jin-woo go to high school, because the bullies who tried to get him in bother had been discovered and all of the nasty articles about him had been taken care of. Yoo Jin-woo will get a beautiful reception when he goes again to high school, and he’s slowly getting his confidence (and dare I say his hope?) again. Even when Yoo Jin-woo will get a cellphone name from the police station about his mom making an attempt to rip-off folks in his identify, he goes and handles it himself, enjoying his newly launched track for his mum and gently placing her in her place.
The primary signal that the antagonist of our present is beginning to come undone is when CEO Jang receives a name from the PD at Star Rise he beforehand bribed. The PD is on the police station and has instructed them the whole lot (i.e., that CEO Jang has been a naughty boy promoting medicine in Muse.) Because the police are on their option to execute a search and seizure warrant at Muse, Chris downloads all the CCTV footage onto a USB drive. Though CEO Jang would have needed Chris to do away with something incriminating, I believe he did this for Yoo Jin-woo’s sake.
CEO Jang needs to put all of the blame for the medicine and any misdeeds onto Yoo Jin-woo to spoil him, as he labored at Muse he’ll be on the CCTV footage, however Chris has different concepts. Chris runs away with the USB drive and comes throughout Soo-hyun. Soo-hyun tries to speak Chris out of operating away – she thinks he ought to flip himself in, she even says she was flawed for abandoning him when he was youthful and she is going to proper that flawed by serving to him now.
Chris continues to be considering what to do subsequent when he calls Yoo Jin-woo. They go for some meals and Chris is speaking about previous instances once they used to dwell collectively within the dorms at Pandora. It could appear Chris has made up his thoughts to show himself in as they stroll to a close-by police station. Chris tells Yoo Jin-woo that Soo-hyun is honest and to overlook about him and the previous.
As Chris walks throughout the road, a person on a motorcycle drives in the direction of him with a metallic pipe in his hand. Thank God Chris didn’t get hit — that might have been an terrible place to finish his story. As an alternative, Chris goes into the police station and confesses the whole lot. And as Soo-hyun promised, she requested a elaborate legal professional that Joon-seok is aware of to go and assist him.
With Chris out of the image and the police now having all the proof, CEO Jang is arrested and being interrogated with Chris on the police station. Chris will get fired up and yells at CEO Jang that his sister wasn’t at Pandora due to Soo-hyun — she was there as a result of she would observe her brother wherever. So in the end, CEO Jang’s anger at Soo-hyun is misplaced. (CEO Jang can have loads of time to mirror on that, the place he’s going.)
Soo-hyun has additionally prompted an investigation into the drug seller who was guilty for CEO Jang’s sister’s loss of life, as one other feminine trainee was simply drugged and left unconscious in a nightclub. Soo-hyun is magically placing fires out right here, there, and all over the place. How did Soo-hyun know the place to fulfill Chris when he was operating away? How did Soo-hyun know each Chris and CEO Jang had been in police custody? And the way is CEO Jang not getting prosecuted for instigating tried homicide? (These questions aren’t actually answered.)
Surprisingly, Soo-hyun as soon as once more passes on Yoo Jin-woo’s contract, this time to her buddy at Mega Leisure. However this time Soo-hyun requests no cash — she needs her buddy to take care of him and provides him time to develop and to nurture him. After Soo-hyun tells Yoo Jin-woo to maneuver onto a “greater ocean” with extra alternatives — that she’s passing him on once more, principally — she disappears touring for 2 years. (Huh?! This was sudden and it shocked me that Yoo Jin-woo is ok with it I get he has extra confidence now, however the place did his abandonment points go?)
Within the round-up of our present, we return to our characters after the two-year time leap. Joon-seok is working because the CEO of Pandora with Ji-young as his assistant. (Why is Joon-seok no more bothered by his spouse being gone for 2 years?) Shim Jin-woo is instructing artwork to deaf kids and has discovered to signal, which I like. Chris will get out of jail and is now courting Hana, who’s working for a cosmetics firm. All of them get collectively for a Christmas meal at Jang-hwa’s restaurant, together with Yoo Jin-woo and Bong-kyu. However there may be nonetheless no signal of Soo-hyun.
Then, when Yoo Jin-woo has an album signing, Soo-hyun arrives on the airport and goes straight to the occasion, telling Yoo Jin-woo to carry his head and straighten his shoulders.
Properly, that’s all people. The finale didn’t fairly spherical up the best way I had hoped. For me, it was a bit of underwhelming to say the least. The present targeted on some very actual points, however in the end had a considerably fantastical, too-easy ending. After organising harrowing emotional eventualities for our characters (and particularly Yoo Jin-woo), we didn’t actually get to see the expansion and therapeutic occur that might have made this a extra satisfying wrap-up.
