SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: In the final scene of 'Love Like A K Drama', as Nozomi and Honoka competed to be paired with Won Shik, both passionately presented their reasons for deserving his choice.

Each was eager to be his partner, expressing a strong desire for the coveted pairing. Ultimately, the decision was left to Won, who had to pick between them.

He provided them with an opportunity to share their feelings.

Nozomi was upfront about her emotions, but Honoka struggled to confess her love for him, particularly expressing her desire to recreate a love scene for the last episode.

Despite multiple attempts, Honoka found herself unable to articulate her feelings to Won Shik. She tried multiple times to express her emotions and the love she had developed for him for the time but was completely blank and couldn't do it.

Frustrated and upset, she left the situation unresolved.

Later, she confided in Rio and Ayano, expressing regret for not confessing her love to Won Shik despite encouragement from everyone.

Faced with his inquiry, Honoka struggled to defend her choice, admitting that it was a decision influenced by circumstances at that specific time.

Kim Won Shik thinks Nozomi Bando wants him to make Kim Dong Kyu feel jealous

In his confessionals, Won Shik revealed that he was aware of Nozomi's longstanding crush on Dong Kyu.

Knowing she would never choose him, it came as a shock when she did.

Speculating on her motives, he considered the possibility that Nozomi's decision might have been driven by a desire to secure a role with him, perhaps as a subtle response to Dong Kyu choosing Rio over her.

However, he ended up picking Nozomi, adding that she was the girl he had eyes on for the longest on the show.
