Seung-Ri is alone and flashbacks to yelling at Jae-Hee asking what kind of joke was she trying to pull on them. She apologizes and he doesn’t accept and she tells him that she will take whatever punishment he wants to give her but that she doesn’t want him to punish Eun-Gyeol or Tae-Joon. She tells him that she knows she shouldn’t have done it and will take responsibility for everything.

Everyone is talking about Jae-Hee being a girl at the school.

He grabs her arm and drags her outside and tells her that he can’t let her leave like this and that they can still find a solution. Jae-Hee hugs him and says she has gotten greedy because everyone has been so good to her.  He goes on saying that she can’t leave him even if they are not dating he wants her to be by his side for a while. Jae-Hee says sorry and he walks away in a huff.

Hyun-Jae and Tae-Joon are practicing and they both make it over the bar. Coach tells them if they keep it up they can make it to the Olympics and he thanks them for letting him coach them.

They both are walking out and Hyun-Jae sees Jae-Hee and makes an excuse to leave and then Tae-Joon sees her and runs over. She says she came to see him because she has missed him. He says he wants to take her to a place and they go rent bikes and ride around a park. Tae-Joon gets them a drink and they sit on some steps, he reaches for her hand and holds it while they watch a fountain show. She tells him that he is her miracle and that everyday she has been with him as been a miracle. She tells him that she is soaking up his image now so that every time she closes her eyes she will see him. He says she is acting weird and asks if something happened she says no that she is just happy and she goes to get her back. He chases after her and gives her a kiss.

They are at the bus stop and he tells her that she has to come tomorrow on time and he tells her that Eun-Gyeol should come and meet her because she shouldn’t walk home alone and that he will call him for her. Jae-Hee holds out her hand and says take care and he shakes her hand thinking she is acting strange. Her bus comes and before she gets on she goes in for a hug and he asks if something is going on and she says she doesn’t want to part with him whether its a second or a year its all the same to her. She says see you tomorrow and gets on the bus and they watch each other as she leaves.

Jae-Hee is in the dorm and sits on Tae-Joon’s bed and flashbacks to them sleeping together and other such times with him.

She walks around the campus and meets her whole dorm waiting for her and Seung-Ri chides her for not saying good bye. He holds out his hand and tells her not to forget them and goes for a hug. She asks where Eun-Gyeol is and he says he hasn’t seen him. They all say goodbye and she tells them thank and they say to come visit again. Jae-Hee keeps walking and Eun-Gyeol calls her with Sang-Chu with him. He tells her he wasn’t going to come and she says thanks and hugs him. He tells her to take care of herself and she tells him to also and he asks if she is going to see Tae-Joon and she says its better this way. He tells her that he won’t forgive me and that he is going to make sure he sees her again. They both say goodbye and she tells Sang-Chu to take care and then she leaves and waves from farther on.

At the nationals Tae-Joon asks if there has been any phone calls and he tells him that there hasn’t. Coach’s phone rings and its Eun-Gyeol wanting to talk to Tae-Joon. Eun-Gyeol tells him that Jae-Hee didn’t want to tell him but he would want to hear if it was him and then he tells him that Jae-Hee left for America. Tae-Joon gives the phone back and rushes out of the stadium, Hyun-Jae says he will check on him. Hyun-Jae asks Tae-Joon what he is doing and he says he is going to Seoul and Hyun-Jae grabs him and asks him what he is doing. His bag goes flying and a notebook falls out he opens it up and it has height written down and a picture of him jumping.

Jae-Hee is riding a bus and the person next to him is watching the high jump and she asks if she can listen with her and she agrees. Lee Eun Ho clears 2 m 27 cm and Hyun-Jae has cleared 2m 29 cm. It’s Tae-Joon’s turn and is trying 2m 31 cm, he starts running and makes it over perfectly. Jae-Hee is excited and so is Tae-Joon and his Coach. Jae-Hee starts crying, Tae-Joon tells the camera that she needs to wait for him and she starts crying even harder.

It is one year later in California and Jae-Hee is walking a dog and she is sitting on her front yard on her laptop. She gets a video message from Eun-Gyeol and asks her if she has seen his goal. He goes onto say that Coach and Teacher Lee are getting married are getting married next year. Seung-Ri is in imprisonment and is secretly dating Ha-Na but he is working really hard because he wants to major in physical therapy. He then tells her that Dr. Jang has gone to study fashion in Paris. He also says that Tae-Joon went on a vacation somewhere like Jeju Island because they are on a break. He tells her that he is going to email soon again and says good bye. Jae-Hee wonders how Tae-Joon is doing and wishes she got more information on him. She drops her book and sees some feet, she looks up and sees Tae-Joon and they hug. He asks if she was well and she nods and they hug again and this is how the last episode ends!!

What a touching last episode it was very good!! Tae-Joon and Jae-Hee’s love for each other was really cemented in this episode and believable. I am so happy that he didn’t chase after her though and he fulfilled his own dream which was also hers. They were both so sweet to each other and I am happy that they got a happy ending. This episode really wanted to make me cry and the scene that did it was when her whole dorm came to see her off and encouraged her!! I want to cry again just thinking about it!! I am sad that Eun-Gyeol didn’t find anyone for him and is still hung up on Jae-Hee who he will never have. Seung-Ri and Ha-Na are soo cute together, I love that he tries so hard for her and she secretly loves it.

The only thing that confuses me is what happened to Hyun-Jae? is he going to the olympics? obviously Tae-Joon is going to the olympics but why did it take him a whole year to come visit her? I mean couldn’t Jae-Hee have been able to go to another school in Korea and stay closer to him and Eun-Gyeol? I think there could have been a better game plan than the one that they chose.

Thanks everyone for joining me on the journey of To The Beautiful You!! it has been a lot of fun!! I will miss these characters it has been a very well made drama!! It had a perfect amount of drama, comedic situations, romance and friendships. I would highly recommend this drama to anyone! Oh and Tae-Joon wins the poll of course!! thanks for voting and reading!!
