After the call ends she asks about what happened and Tae Kwan reveals that it could be the end of Joon Hyung if he doesn’t show up. Bok Joo then takes the phone from Tae Kwan. She gives Joon Hyung a call and tells him that she’ll keep her end of the deal with him. But Joon Hyung worries and rushes away while Shi Ho questions why he was on the phone with Bok Joo.
At the rice competition, the weightlifters are agitated they can’t compete but realize that they just need the swimmers to lose in order to win first place.

When he gets a waterproof band aid, he finds postcards from Canada that match the ones he’d received from his mother. That day he realized that after the first three years, his aunt had written the letters instead and the therapist realizes that’s the center of Joon Hyung’s problem.

They have a heartfelt talk as Bok Joo explains that she could never be with Doctor Jeong because no one would like a weightlifter, as well as how she felt like Cinderella not having to return to reality until midnight.

As Bok Joo eats, Seon Ok tries to give her more food but Nan Hee covers for her. As they eat, Bok Joo gets an angered call from her father. The episode ends as Bok Joo arrives at the restaurant to angered coaches and a father who smacks down her diet book.
This show is definitely my favorite on right now! It just keeps getting better! But two things, one I need Joon Hyung to admit his feelings even just to himself and two, Si Ho how could you? I liked her at first despite that she couldn’t take a hint, but she wasn’t doing anything wrong. And she obviously has problems herself, but after episode 6 any form of sympathy I had vanished. Aside from the new hatred, my absolute favorite cliche happened! There is nothing I love more than when a guy is looking at a girl and says ‘it’s pretty’ despite the girl referencing something else and not looking at him. This newfound love he has is my favorite thing and I truly think that Bok Joo is the key to curing Joon Hyung. Also, as much as I adore Doctor Jeong, I wish that Bok Joo could see the man in front of her instead. Joon Hyung at first was obnoxious but I would’ve fallen for him after he held me in the pool (even if he dropped her). The chemistry continues to amaze me, I truly feel like they’re a real couple who are really going through everything. Something I adore about this show is that there’s no in between, absolutely everyone can relate to the struggles of life even if they aren’t athletic.
Since this is my current favorite show it’s a 10/10! The chemistry is unmatchable and the story is hilarious and relatable!
