Have the Korean and Japanese participants of Love Like a K-drama overcome the language barrier to find love by Episode 12? Here are the couples who have confessed their love.
Netflix's fresh take on a dating reality show has brought forth a plethora of genuine emotions, tears, and newly discovered love. The show's premise involved four Korean men and four Japanese women vying for a chance to star in a K-drama and also find love.
From the beginning, there was a strong connection between certain contestants, even with the language barrier. While some relationships took time to develop, it also meant that difficult decisions had to be made about where their true feelings lay.
In Episode 12 of Love Like a K-drama, fans' wait is over as the endgame couples are likely guessed, but the question remains: who has Won-shik's heart? As the women prepare to leave for Japan, the contestants must decide who to confess their feelings to. Spoiler alert: details ahead!
Won-shik and Honoka
Tensions ran high as both Honoka and Nazomi found themselves in love with Won-shik. Long-time fans will recall that at the start of the series, Won-shik had harbored feelings for Honoka. However, she had rebuffed his advances, realizing it was a mistake to pursue him when she did not reciprocate his feelings. Yet, in a surprising twist of events, she eventually came to understand the true desires of her heart.
Nazomi's growing feelings for Won-shik added another layer of complexity to the situation, making it difficult for him to make a decision for the final episode. In the end, he chose Nazomi, leaving everyone, including the hosts, surprised by his choice. At the airport, the men had to confess their feelings to the women before their flight back to Japan. In a surprising turn of events, Won-shik chose Honoka, revealing that he had realized his true feelings for her.
Ayano and Tae-hyuk
Following the confession, they shared a tender kiss. Honoka presented him with the couple keychains she had been unable to give him during the shopping challenge. As for Nazumi, she acknowledged the heartbreak she felt upon realizing where Won-shik's true affections lay. However, she took solace in the knowledge that she played a role in helping both Won-shik and Honoka come to terms with their true feelings for each other.
It was no surprise when Ayano and Tae-gyun confessed their feelings for each other. Ayano had to choose between him and Ji-hyuk, but their chemistry was too strong to ignore. They looked completely at ease with each other, like a real couple. Ultimately, Ayano chose Tae-gyun at the airport, giving him a heartfelt letter expressing her feelings and gratitude for making her feel at home in Korea. From the beginning, she knew she wanted to be with him.
Before the series concluded, she presented him with an album containing a heartfelt message. In it, she expressed her deep love for him and requested a kiss. Their kiss symbolized a significant turning point.
Ji-hyuk confessed that the rejection had shattered his heart and he couldn't help but feel partially responsible. He had believed that knowing Japanese would give him an advantage, but instead, he felt more like a caregiver than a true partner.
Dong-kyu and Rio
In Love Like a K-drama Episode 12, the final couple turned out to be Dong-yku and Rio. It came as no surprise to many, as their natural gravitation towards each other became more evident as the series went on. Their chemistry was undeniable, especially during the few kiss moments they shared after a night of drinking.
Tae-gyun even referred to Dong-kyu as a "kiss monster," but Dong-kyu had always been open about his feelings and his desire to protect Rio. After sharing a kiss and confessing their love, they made a promise to meet again in the future. Was this the end? They both poured their hearts out, expressing their gratitude for finding love.
