Protagonists Kim Hye-jin (Hwang Jung-eum) and Ji Sung-joon (Park Seo-joon) got the happy ending they dreamt of on the Wednesday finale of popular rom-com TV drama “She Was Pretty.”

On the last episode, Hye-jin and Sung-joon continued their long distance relationship between the U.S., where Sung-joon is working, and Korea, where Hye-jin is following her dreams of becoming a children’s book writer.

They called each other every day, went on video chat and maintained a good relationship until Sung-joon unexpectedly returned to Korea, saying, “I can’t be apart from you.”

“I was pretending to be cool and wait for you, but I am not mature enough,” he said. “I am just going to wait in Korea beside you.”

Actually, Sung-joon was promoted to become an editor-in-chief for fashion magazine The Most, replacing former editor Lala (Hwang Suk-jung), who decided to leave the post to get married to an Italian model.

Hye-jin also became the children’s book author she had dreamt of being since her grade school days. In the end, the two finally got married and led a happy, romantic life, having a cute daughter with curly hair, who looked just like Hye-jin.

Hye-jin’s friend Min Ha-ri (Go Joon-hee) began her career as an hotelier and Kim Shin-hyuk (Choi Si-won), who was revealed as popular fiction writer Ten, traveled the world writing his next book.

Shin-hyuk released his latest book in Korea and in the epilogue wrote, “To my best friend Jackson,” referring to Hye-jin by her nickname.

The 16-episode series “She Was Pretty” ended with a viewership rating of 15.9 percent Wednesday.
