Serendipity's Embrace

Hoo-young comes back to Korea and goes on a blind date that Joseph set up for him. There, he runs into Hong-joo. Upon hearing Hoo-young's return to Korea, Hye-ji plans a welcome party for him. However, Hong-joo turns up drunk, sharing all sorts of things Hoo-young didn't expect to hear.

Hong-joo turns out to be living downstairs from Hoo-young, and Hoo-young asks his uncle to tell her to take him on a tour around Seoul. Hoo-young and Hong-joo end up having a date at an amusement park, and they have a great day together. Meanwhile, Jun-ho, who left Hong-joo three years ago, shows up in front of her, asking to work on a project together.

Hoo-young realizes that Hong-joo's ex is Bang Jun-ho, the writer of "My Avant-garde Lover." Hong-joo's boss tells her to work on a project with Jun-ho. Hong-joo hesitates, but she decides to do it in the end. Hye-ji learns that Hoo-young has feelings for Hong-joo. Meanwhile, Hong-joo gets into a car accident.

Hoo-young confesses his feelings to Hong-joo, but she pretends she didn't hear it. Hong-joo insists on going home instead of staying in the hospital, so Hoo-young takes her to his place to take care of her. Jun-ho sees Hoo-young and Hong-joo together and gets the wrong idea.

Hong-joo is forced to go on a fishing trip with Hoo-young, Sang-pil, and Wook. Although it's awkward for her, she tries to enjoy the trip. Hye-ji and Kyung-taek joined later, and Hye-ji told Hong-joo that she was not dating Kyung-taek. Meanwhile, Hong-joo is told to work with Jun-ho in his studio for a month.

Hong-joo decides to give Hoo-young a shot. Hoo-young quits his job to stay in Korea and be with Hong-joo. Hye-ji visits Kyung-taek who fell sick and runs into his mother by coincidence. Meanwhile, Hong-joo's father calls Jun-ho and tells him to stay away from Hong-joo.

Jun-ho tells Hong-joo why he had to leave her three years ago, but she can't forgive him for leaving her even after hearing the reason. Hong-joo meets Hoo-young's mom who tells her to end the relationship. Meanwhile, Hoo-young finds out Hong-joo's new project she's working on with Jun-ho.

Hoo-young's mother tells Hong-joo to come to the US with Hoo-young and live there. After hearing that, Hoo-young asks Hong-joo to come with him, but she turns him down. Hoo-young doesn't get to see Hong-joo on the day he leaves for the US, but a surprise awaits him at the airport.
