The tvN romantic comedy Spring Fever came to a close on February 10, 2026, delivering a satisfying finale where main character Yoon Bom finally speaks up for herself, clears her name, and secures a peaceful future with the man she loves. The series, starring Lee Joo Bin and Ahn Bo Hyun, followed a high school teacher and a small-town man as they healed each other’s deep emotional wounds. In its last episodes, the show resolved its central conflicts, focusing on truth, justice, and new beginnings.
The Core Conflicts Facing Yoon Bom and Seon Jae Gyu
As the finale approached, both main characters were dealing with major problems from their pasts that threatened their future together.
Yoon Bom, played by Lee Joo Bin, moved to the rural area of Sinsu to escape a major scandal in Seoul. She was wrongly accused of having an inappropriate relationship with a student and was publicly slapped by a parent. To make things more complicated, her mother is famous actress Jeong Nan-hee, whose celebrity status prevented Yoon Bom from properly defending herself at the time. She chose silence, which many misunderstood as an admission of guilt. Her mother reappeared in the final episodes, trying to re-enter her life, which forced Yoon Bom to confront this painful history head-on.
Yoon Bom finally told her mother, “I ruined my life because you told me to endure it. I endured it. From now on, let’s live our own lives.” This moment showed her resolve to stop being a victim.
At the same time, Seon Jae Gyu, played by Ahn Bo Hyun, carried the heavy burden of a village rumor. People believed he was responsible for his abusive father’s death in a house fire. He confessed this fear to Yoon Bom, telling her “I killed my father,” though the full truth was yet to be revealed. His main goal in life was to protect his nephew, Seon Han-gyeol, showing his deeply caring nature beneath a tough exterior.
How Yoon Bom Fought Back and Cleared Her Name
The final episode centered on Yoon Bom’s decision to stop running and to fight for the truth. After her past scandal became widely known in Sinsu, she did not hide. Instead, she took direct action.
In a key scene, she arranged meetings with the people connected to her past. She met with reporter Choi Yi-joon, who had been digging into her story, and with her mother, Jeong Nan-hee. Stills from the finale showed Yoon Bom sitting calmly but determinedly across from them, ready to speak her truth after years of enforced silence. Her approach was not about anger, but about finally setting the record straight and claiming her own life back from their narratives.
This act of facing her past directly was the culmination of her character’s growth. Earlier in the series, when gossip about her relationship with Jae Gyu spread at school, she had already shown new strength. She calmly told her colleagues, “I won’t do anything shameful or neglect my responsibilities, so please watch over me,” effectively shutting down the rumors. The finale saw her apply this same courage to the larger, more painful scandal that had defined her life for so long.
The Truth About Seon Jae Gyu’s Past Revealed
Jae Gyu’s story reached its emotional peak as the truth about his father’s death came to light. The rumor that he set the fatal fire was false. The series revealed the complicated and painful reality of his childhood with an abusive parent.
His confession to Yoon Bom was rooted in guilt and trauma, not in actual guilt. By confronting this past and sharing his deepest pain with Yoon Bom, he began to break free from it. In a powerful display of growth and unity, Jae Gyu and Yoon Bom teamed up to tackle their problems. Surprisingly, Jae Gyu even formed an alliance with his former rival, Choi Yi-joon, to take decisive action. They were seen handing documents to an official, suggesting a legal or public approach to finally end the rumors and clear his name for good.

The series concluded with both characters finding peace, justice, and love. With the old rumors and scandals resolved, Yoon Bom and Jae Gyu were free to build a happy life together in Sinsu. The village that once judged them began to see them in a new light, accepting them as a valued part of the community.
A touching symbol of their future was a gift Jae Gyu had given Yoon Bom earlier. He told her to open it “when you want to see me.” In the finale, Yoon Bom is finally shown opening the gift box, a moment representing her readiness to embrace their shared future without the shadows of the past.
The show also wrapped up the sweet subplot of Jae Gyu’s nephew, Han-gyeol, and his academic rival-turned-love-interest, Choi Se-jin. Their story provided a lighter, youthful counterpoint to the main romance.
