He confirmed that the relationship between the two characters was indeed intended to be romantic, which left the cast in surprise, particularly Park Ji Hoon, whose shocked reaction became a viral moment on social media.
Choi Hyun Wook, after hearing the director’s comments, playfully brought up the notion of love again but quickly stopped, as if realizing he was pushing the boundaries of their on-screen relationship.
His hesitance sparked further discussion among fans, who already suspected a deeper connection between the characters.
Many fans voiced their joy upon hearing the confirmation, as they felt that the bond between Yeon Sieun and Ahn Suho had always carried romantic undertones.
Some fans even expressed that if their relationship were merely friendship, it would defy their understanding of what true connection and affection look like.
Fans of the show have been vocal about how the characters’ deep emotional bond, defined by missing each other and wanting to protect each other, should not need a specific label like “love” to be significant.
For many, the connection between Yeon Sieun and Ahn Suho is already meaningful and filled with love, regardless of what term is used to describe it.
The confirmation by the director has led to an outpouring of excitement, with fans praising the depth of the relationship and the emotional complexity it brings to the show.
