Who will Kim Won Shik pair for 'Love Like a K-Drama's last audition? Honoka Kitahara fears Nozomi Bando is coming for ex
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: Is Nozomi Bando coming back for her former connection, Kim Won Shik? Honoka Kitahara fears that might be the case, as the third installment of 'Love Like a K-Drama' ended with a mindboggling cliffhanger.
In the last episode of the mini-K-drama series, 'The Sad Wedding', the women were given the chance to pick their own partners. However, exactly how they choose will be secret to the men.
Away from the cast, host Yuko Fueki tells them that the women will have to select their partners through a group discussion. This puts the women under a lot of pressure, as some of them may choose the same partner, which they will have to resolve among themselves.
While Ayano Kudo picks Lee Tae Gyun and Rio Yamashita picks Kim Dong Kyu, Honoka calls shotgun for Won Shik. Nozomi soon followed suit after her nasty split from Dong Kyu.
In her confessional, Honoka reveals that she wasn't surprised. Looking at Dong Kyu and Nozomi she thought that Nozomi wasn't interested in Dong Kyu anymore. Or rather, had closed the book on her feelings for him.
Honoka claims Nozomi is 'now coming for Won Shik'. To her, this audition for Episode 6 is very important. It's her last chance, and she's not satisfied yet.
