Hyun-woo and Hae-in’s Adorable Awkward Stage
In the earlier episodes, the viewers are shown how Hyun-woo and Hae-in are far apart from each other but Hae-in’s short expiration date brings them closer in a way they did not expect. Hyun-woo begins looking out for her in many ways but refuses to admit he still loves her like buying her shoes so that she is comfortable or cycling around the Yeongdu-ri to find her.
At the same time, Hae-in begins noticing him as well. From not being able to take her eyes off of him to help his family out during a crisis – she becomes smitten by him once again! She even boasts about him to Eun-sung on many occasions. However, they refuse to believe that they love each other after all this time. Their silent gestures speak volumes!
Hae-in’s Jealous Moments
Throughout the show, it is obvious that Hae-in thinks highly of Hyun-woo – whether it is regarding his physical appearance or intellectual capabilities. Even when they were dating, Hae-in would tell him to not be drunk around others as it was his ‘special move’. In the present time, situations like girls staring at him or his family talking about his first love would get her riled up.
One particular moment that stood out was in episode 14 when Hyun-woo decided to rile up Hae-in by bringing attention to him with certain gestures. She gave him a death stare and demanded to roll down his sleeves. The scene brought viewers so much laughter and even the appearance of Eun-sung did not dim the atmosphere.
Hyun-woo and Hae-in Protect Each Other
Even after their divorce, Hyun-woo and Hae-in fiercely protect each other through situations. Hyun-woo went out of his way to rescue Hae-in and her family after they were tricked by Eun-sung, Grace Goh, Da-hye and Sol-hee. He took them to his house and made sure they were protected from Eun-sung as well as reporters.
At the same time, Hae-in exposed Eun-sung and her secret about her illness to save Hyun-woo. After getting to know that Hyun-woo might lose his job and license due to Eun-sung’s devious plan, she made sure that she would be the one to save him. These gestures were just one of many times the viewers noticed how much the main leads love each other.
Hyun-woo’s Desperation to Save Hae-in

Hyun-woo and Hae-in’s Entangled Fate
Speaking of meant to be, the story also revealed a few past connections that left us shocked.

From Hyun-woo saving Hae-in from drowning to putting a band-aid on her during their school days – it exposed how they were not even aware of each other’s presence but ended up falling in love, many years later.

After spending time with Eun-sung, she instinctively felt uncomfortable around him. However, one look at Hyun-woo and she was a puddle of goo.
She made up ways to meet up with Hyun-woo and she would mistreat him but she felt as though there was more to their relationship than Eun-sung told her.
