With just two episodes left, “ Serendipity’s Embrace ” is finally approaching its conclusion. While the last episode was filled with the heart-fluttering romance between Lee Hong Joo ( Kim So Hyun ) and Kang Hoo Young ( Chae Jong Hyeop ), the audience also got a deeper look into the main couple as well as Bang Joon Ho’s ( Yun Ji On ) struggles. Here are three emotional scenes from episodes five and six of “Serendipity’s Embrace” that left us teary-eyed.
Warning: Spoilers for episodes 5-6 ahead! Hoo Young’s inability to confess his love for 10 years is something that most viewers found slightly frustrating. But in episodes five and six, we finally learn what actually prevented teenage Hoo Young from confessing his true feelings to Hong Joo. Spoiler alert: it was his mother.
Years ago, after the main leads spent time together in a ditch, they grew closer. The teenage Hoo Young, deeply in love, even buys all of Hong Joo’s favorite animated movies to gift her. But just as he is about to give them to her — and probably confess his crush — he receives a call from his mother, who informs him that they are moving to the States.
When Hoo Young tries to reason with her, she bluntly tells him that she never reconsiders her decisions and ends the conversation. What could have been a decade-long love is abruptly cut short simply because Hoo Young’s mother decided to move to another country for work. Moving for work is not unusual or evil.
However, not allowing your.
