Ending explained

The thriller rom-com starring Han Ji Min, Lee Min Ki, and EXO's Suho presented a gripping mystery, keeping the identity of the main villain shrouded in secrecy until the final two episodes. From the outset, the narrative placed significant emphasis on Mr. Cha, who was revealed to be the perpetrator behind Ye Bun's mother's murder. However, the plot took an unexpected turn when Mr. Cha was killed by an unknown assailant, intensifying the suspicion surrounding Sun Woo, and prompting Jang Yeol to closely monitor him.

The final episode culminates in a climactic showdown between Bong Ye Bun, Moon Jang Yeol, and Park Jong Bae, who has hidden Ok Hee. Ye Bun confronts Jong Bae, and in a tense exchange, Jong Bae bargains for his safety. The trio leaves the police station but is unexpectedly confronted by Jang Yeol's nemesis, Baek Soon Gil. Soon Gil, seeking financial gain, questions Jong Bae, who in turn exposes Ye Bun's psychometric powers. Soon Gil captures Ye Bun and Jang Yeol, but after a heated fight with Soon Gil's gang, they emerge victorious. Their focus now shifts to locating Ok Hee, and with the help of Kim Yong Myung and a police squad, they find Ok Hee using auditory cues.

Later they engage in a cat-and-mouse chase with Jong Bae. Jang Yeol employs strategic maneuvers, attempting to outwit Jong Bae, who, using his psychometric abilities, unveils their whereabouts. Jong Bae takes a dark turn, initiating a killing spree and deceiving Ye Bun into believing that he is among the victims. Eventually, Jong Bae kidnaps her, leading to a tense confrontation where Jang Yeol manages to cleverly overpower Jong Bae with his “superpower”, capturing the serial killer for good.

The series concludes with Jang Yeol departing for Seoul. An eight-month time skip reveals Ye Bun as a television sensation celebrated for her unique ability to communicate with animals. During a visit to Seoul for a show, she reunites with Jang Yeol. Agreeing to assist him in a new case, she successfully uncovers a crucial clue. The series concludes on a joyful note as the couple prepares for a date, signaling the beginning of their relationship and bringing the story to a satisfying close.

Review of the finale- was the ending justified?

The show's overall atmosphere was delightful, offering a harmonious blend of comedy that dominated a significant portion of the narrative, along with mystery and a slowly evolving romance between the leads. One of the saddest scenes in the storyline was the unfortunate demise of Kim Sun Woo, who, regrettably, couldn't reunite with his mother by the end, leaving fans grieving for his untimely passing. Suho exhibited exceptional acting talent, delivering a standout performance as Sun Woo. His portrayal of Sun Woo, a smart character who managed to unveil the killer's identity without possessing any superpowers, showcased Suho's top-notch acting skills.

Bong Ye Bun, portrayed by Han Ji Min, emerged as an outstanding female lead.

The dynamic between the three leads was beautifully crafted, from the vulnerable connection shared by Seon Woo and Ye Bun to the gradual blossoming of romance between Jang Yeol and Ye Bun, a testament to the saying that less is more. The supporting characters added depth to the storyline, with notable performances from the surprising villain, the shaman, the dedicated police squad committed to justice, Ok Hee and her gang, including the beloved "unni" guy Kim Yong Myung, Ye Bun's family, the assemblyman, and even the townspeople. Each actor contributed effectively to their respective roles.
