Why did Kim Won Shik choose Nozomi Bando over Honoka Kitahara? ‘Love Like a K Drama’ star leaves former connection sobbing after ditching her
SEOUL, SOUTH KOREA: In the latest episode of 'Love Like a K Drama', the girls had to face the challenging task of choosing their partners.
Rio confidently selected Dong Kyu, and Ayano happily chose Tae Gyun.
However, a surprising twist unfolded when both Nozomi and Honoka independently chose Won Shik.
Since neither Nozomi nor Honoka was willing to back down, the situation became a unique challenge.
The girls, adamant about being paired with Won Shik, presented him with a choice. Faced with the unexpected scenario, Won Shik listened attentively as both Nozomi and Honoka expressed their reasons for wanting to be his partner.
After thoughtful consideration, Won Shik made his choice, selecting Nozomi as his partner.
After Won Shik chose Nozomi, Honoka was visibly heartbroken, unable to control her tears as she broke down emotionally.
The decision weighed heavily on her, revealing the depth of her feelings for Won Shik.
However, Won Shik's choice was rooted in the complex history between him and Honoka. When she initially chose Tae Gyun over him for the first scene, it had been a significant blow.
She had expressed a preference for Tae Gyun, rejecting Won Shik in the process, which came as a shocker for him.
Despite this, Won Shik had later developed a soft spot for Nozomi, even though she was initially connected to Dong Kyu.
Confessing his feelings to everyone, Won Shik had admitted his attraction to Nozomi.
In a mindful reflection, he considered the ups and downs of his connection with Honoka. Despite the pain he endured when she chose Tae Gyun, he persevered on the show.
Ultimately, he made the thoughtful decision to choose Nozomi over Honoka, recognizing that their bond had been scarred when she selected Tae Gyun over him.
Did Honoka Kitahara ditch Won Shik for Tae Gyun?
Initially, Won Shik had chosen Honoka, pairing them together in what seemed like a promising connection.
However, a dramatic twist unfolded when Honoka dropped a bombshell, choosing Tae Gyun over Won Shik.
She revealed a crush on Tae Gyun, asserting that she liked him more, leaving not only Won Shik but all contestants shocked.
Won Shik, taken aback by the revelation, stopped communicating with Honoka for days, the abrupt shift in dynamics casting a shadow over their connection.
However, in a surprising turn, Tae Gyun later connected with Ayano Kudo and Honoka found herself paired with Won Shik once again.
This unexpected reunion indeed brought them together again but it wasn't the same, at least for Won Shik.

In the episode, the women were given the power to choose their male partners through a group discussion.
Expectations were soaring, especially for Nozomi to pick Dong Kyu due to their shared history.
Much to everyone's surprise, Nozomi chose Won Shik, the same choice as Honoka Kitahara.
Honoka disclosed that Nozomi, realizing her connection with Dong Kyu had reached a dead end, had redirected her attention toward pursuing Won Shik, accusing her of coming after Won Shik.
Won Shik jealous after watching Honoka kiss Tae Gyun
In her confessionals, Honoka openly admitted that Won Shik wasn't the one she found most interesting, even though Won Shik had harbored feelings for her from the start.
Honoka's admiration for Tae Gyun became apparent in nearly every episode, leaving Won Shik as a frustrated witness to her developing crush.
The challenge intensified during the K-Drama shoot, where witnessing Honoka and Tae Gyun share a passionate kiss proved difficult for Won Shik.
Despite having collaborated with Won Shik in the past, Honoka expressed uncertainty about working with him again, adding a layer of complexity to their professional relationship.
Won Shik found it emotionally challenging to be present on set, particularly when witnessing intimate scenes between Honoka and Tae Gyun.
Although Honoka had previously shared comfortable moments in such scenes with Won Shik, she confessed to developing "a thing" for Tae Gyun, creating emotional tension between the two.
