I decided to write about what happens after the car accident and expand more on what Jung Eum and Joon Hyuk talk about when they meet after 3 years…

1. Ji Hoon drives Se Kyung to the airport. Se Kyung confesses her feelings but Ji Hoon calmly refuses her and he tells her that she has always been his good niece and he hopes her well when living aboard. Despite that, Se Kyung (selfishly) hopes that everything can stop right there. We know that they then get into a deadly accident and cannot survive… Everything does stop at that moment for Se Kyung. Unfortunately, Ji Hoon who wanted to run to Jung Eum and make up with her, can never fulfill his wishes.
Life goes on for the rest of them.
Jung Eum sobs for days after hearing Ji Hoon’s death. It’s months until she finally picks herself up and determines to not let Ji Hoon down. She prepares applications and interviews to become English teacher at her hometown, where she now lives with her parents. It’s difficult for her to find jobs at first with her specs, and that she lacks of experiences. She spends day time going around applying or doing part time jobs and evening time to do tutor.
Joon Hyuk moves out to study at Jung Eum’s university – Seoun University, and unsurprisingly majored in English teaching. His family is happy enough that he even gets to enroll in a university, completely forget that this is same school Jung Eum went to, that they feel cheated when she confesses that she is not a Seoul University graduate. Joon Hyuk calls Jung Eum to inform her that he moves to dorm and starts his student life now. And they jokingly make fun of each other (that Jung Hyuk is now a Seoun University student just like Jung Eum before, and that Jung Eum runs away from Seoul but still jobless) until they solemnly wish their loved ones are alive and with them now. Joon Hyuk always thinks that Ji Hoon Uncle could have persuaded his mom and the family, and she should just have relied on him. They get teary and silent until Joon Hyuk trying to be tough boy, saying goodbye and wishing his teacher to find a good job asap.

2. They keep in touch and once in a while meet during Ji Hoon’s death anniversary,…
Jung Eum then has a difficult senior high school student for her tutor job, who really reminds her of Joon Hyuk. Again, she dedicates to win against her student’s stubbornness. She makes him pay attention to English and tries hard to help him with a fair grade in university test. The parents truly appreciate her efforts with their son. Knowing her wish, they let her know that there is an empty spot as office staff in an English center and think she should apply. She does and gets in to work as office staff for more than 1 year there before the center announces that they need an English teacher. Yes, Jung Eum applies and succeeds finally.
She calls Joon Hyuk to tell him the good news and he decides to come visit her. We see them together catching up 3 years after that horrible accident…

3. After talking about each other, Jung Eum updates Jung Hyuk that her friends are doing very well in Seoul and they will have a BBQ during Chuseok this year. Jillian is now working for an NGO and gets to travel a lot around Korea and Asia. In Na is getting more successful as a solo artist now that she quits singing and becomes an actress. Jung Hyuk agrees, he can never realize how beautiful In Na is until she joins that sageuk. Kwang Soo is the most troublesome! Jung Eum complains to have to listen to his many drunk calls from him after In Na’s co male lead confess to her in their drama Premier event. He said he hates her becoming In Hyun Queen! Luckily, their relationship stay strong even in the crazy K-showbiz world.
Jung Hyuk also informs Jung Eum how he gets tired of He Ri pestering Se Ho to become her husband. Se Ho is now Seoul University Student President. He’s famous for his dance skills, his gentle manners, … and finally finds his passion as a writer. Jung Eum jokingly says she feels glad that Se Ho fails his various audition attempts to become a member of that Beast group, or else he would have had a fandom now, and wonders how He Ri would react.
Hye Ri is still annoying sometimes but she really takes good care of their youngest brother like a real mom. Their parents are super busy at work to take care of the baby much. Hyun Kyung (mom) won her President of Teacher Union run last year, and now fights even more with Ja Ok grandma and their School Principal. Bo Suk (dad) just quit his Vice Director position last month, as he realizes he causes less harm for the company in their Kitchen Lab, and Grandpa trusts him to create new recipes, new dishes. That’s why the baby is on Hye Ri’s hands now. But Hye Ri is getting stranger as she grows… She is in high school now and starts to eat veggies instead of meat to keep diet. Weirdest thing is that Jung Hyuk once hears from his Mom that Hye Ri’s current dream is to work for a Kindergarten, she said she loves kids!
And then the drama spans to “10 years later…”.

4. Se Ho and Jung Hyuk talk casually about their High school Reunion and get reprimanded by Grandpa and Ja Ok grandma for not using “jondaemal”. They should show respects to each other as brother-in-laws, they are no longer “just friends”.
Hye Ri runs from kitchen to announce that dinner is ready and everyone is excited to join the table with like 10 dishes all made from her with little help from Mom and Shin Ae. Yes, Shin Ae finally returns to Seoul to join Hye Ri’s wedding and have a 2 week holiday here. She is now applying to work for the NGO that Jullian is now the Vice President.
Then Jung Hyuk gets a call from Jung Eum, who says she will visit Seoul tomorrow. She hopes to visit Ji Hoon with Joon Hyuk tomorrow as she has something important to inform both of them… and Jung Hyuk knowingly says he is happy to see her tomorrow… The end…

5. After credit of Epilogue:
Se Ho is doing an interview for his “High Kick 2” drama reception and the controversial decision to stay true to reality to “kill off” Ji Hoon Uncle and Se Kyung.
Se Ho replies that he was just as heart-broken as the Lee family when he heard of the news. He knows he will get scolded from audience for writing off their favorite character. His wife once asked him to write a happy ending for her uncle, but he just could not… He’s been there with them when they grieved and tried to recover… and through all that, the family bonds more and grows more understanding. That the only happy ending he could only think of. He can not write that Ji Hoon uncle is still alive and make decisions for Uncle instead. He hope the audience will understand his writing choice.
The reporter then asks Se Ho for Joon Hyuk and Jung Eum’s ending. Se Ho informs them that Joon Hyuk is dating but keeps it very quiet. He doesn’t even meet the girl. Jung Eum noona is doing well in her hometown. That’s what he heard from Joon Hyuk though. Everytime they plan to meet Jung Eum noona, his wife doesn’t want him too. Haha… But he hopes that Jung Eum noona will always be bright and positive wherever she is…
