In the eighth episode, Do-hong further displayed his direct approach, confessing, "It’s not that Jae-rim is making a move on me; it’s that I like Jae-rim," showcasing his straightforward and bold romantic style.

In episodes 9 and 10, released on June 28, Do-hong handed Jae-rim a plane ticket to Berlin after hearing about Moon Cha-min’s (Lee Jun-young) upcoming marriage, choosing support over jealousy. He proposed they work together, saying, "From now on, I will only do what my heart tells me. Sort things out and come to me." This solidified his role as a reliable sanctuary for Jae-rim, despite continuous rejections, further endearing him to the audience.

Kim Hyun-jin's ability to deliver heart-fluttering lines and his striking 'manhwa-like' visuals have left a lasting impression, paving the way for what fans are calling the 'Kim Hyun-jin fandom gate.'
