Kang Si-woo founded his own company and secured his position as 'CEO,' while Cha Ji-yoon was tapped for the in-house 'Future Home Appliances TF team leader' role and took the lead in key projects. The scenes in which the two, now reborn as professional office workers, slide proposal rings onto each other's hands shined a light on the value of 'shared growth' that went beyond a simple romance.
