- Lim Ji-yeon plays Wi Jeong-sin, a principled political reporter who is unexpectedly transferred to the entertainment beat, where she meets Hyun-joon. Lim Ji-yeon is celebrated for her performance in The Glory.
- Kim Ji-hoon plays Lee Jae-hyung, a former baseball star whose career ended due to an injury. He is now the CEO of Sports Eunsung and becomes involved in the central conflict.
- Seo Ji-hye plays Yun Hwa-young, an entertainment editor at Sports Eunsung who becomes a key ally for Jeong-sin.
The supporting cast includes Choi Gwi-hwa as CEO Hwang, Kim Hyun-jin as Hyun-joon’s brother, and Kim Jae-cheol as the antagonistic Chairman Lee Dae-ho.
What Happened Before the Finale
The last episodes set the stage for a high-stakes finale. Reporter Wi Jeong-sin is deep into an investigation exposing the corrupt schemes of Chairman Lee Dae-ho, who is also the half-brother of Lee Jae-hyung. With the help of CEO Hwang and Lim Hyun-joon, she secured crucial documents from the King’sback office, but not before facing physical threats from Lee Dae-ho’s men.
The personal relationship between Hyun-joon and Jeong-sin reached a new level. After a series of heartfelt confessions and dates, Hyun-joon made a public declaration at a press conference. When asked about his personal life, he confirmed that the person he is interested in was in the room, looking directly at Jeong-sin.
However, the danger is escalating. Chairman Lee personally threatened Jeong-sin, warning her to stop her investigation. Yun Hwa-young also revealed to Jae-hyung that his own career-ending injury was orchestrated by his brother, Lee Dae-ho, pushing Jae-hyung to a critical decision about whether to help publish Jeong-sin’s expose.

What to Expect in the Final Episodes
The final episodes promise to bring all the ongoing conflicts to a head. The central plot will focus on whether Jeong-sin can successfully publish her article and expose Chairman Lee Dae-ho’s financial crimes and manipulations. With her life now in clear danger, Hyun-joon is fully aware of the threat and will likely take action to protect her.
The dynamic between the brothers, Lee Jae-hyung and Lee Dae-ho, is also set for a confrontation. With the truth about Jae-hyung’s past revealed, his choice to either support or hinder Jeong-sin’s work will be a major point.
Finally, after a slow-building romance, fans are expecting a resolution for Lim Hyun-joon and Wi Jeong-sin. The finale will likely show whether their relationship can survive the intense external pressures and lead to a happy ending.
Lee Jung-jae, discussing the themes of the drama, highlighted the importance of self-understanding in relationships.
โOne of the underlying themes is that you really have to know who you are as a person first. That’s what’s beneath the story and the character, and only after you understand yourself then can you go about approaching human relationshipsโ.
