Choi Jin-hyuk ultimately chose to confront everything head-on in Positively Yours. His public confession to protect Oh Yeon-seo delivered a powerful ending that shook viewers nationwide.
In episode 9, which aired on February 14, the love between Doojun (Choi Jin-hyuk) and Heewon (Oh Yeon-seo) grew even stronger amid an escalating storm of accusations and pressure.
The situation spiraled out of control when allegations surfaced claiming that Doojun had impregnated a company employee and pressured her into an abortion. His father, Chankil (Son Byong-ho), intensified the pressure, reminding him, “You are the owner of a company.” Meanwhile, his sister-in-law Jeongeum (Baek Eun-hye) confessed to leaking the article, directly shaking Heewon. Jeongeum went as far as visiting Heewon’s home to urge a breakup and even spread rumors to Doojun’s mother, Sookhee (Kim Sun-kyung), further fueling the conflict.
Cornered, Doojun remained focused on protecting Heewon. When she offered to clarify the situation herself, he firmly refused, saying, “I don’t want that.” His decision reflected his fear that her career would be damaged because of him. His love shone brightest in the face of crisis.
However, Heewon chose to step back for Doojun’s future. With tearful resolve, she said, “What if we just pretend we never knew each other?” Her painful decision was later revealed to have been influenced by Chankil’s request, amplifying the emotional weight of their separation.
The ending delivered a dramatic climax. Standing before a crowd of reporters, Doojun directly denied the allegations, stating, “There was no coercive relationship, no pressure for abortion, and no womanizing.” He then made a stunning confession, saying, “It is true that I love someone, and that person is carrying my child.” He continued, “I fell in love with her when she said she would give up her dreams,” turning his defense into a heartfelt declaration of love. He concluded with a firm plea, “You may criticize me, but please refrain from making unfounded assumptions about her,” making his sincerity unmistakably clear.
Moved by Doojun’s confession, Heewon met his gaze with deep emotion, and the episode ended on a powerful note as the two looked at each other with longing. Their love, strengthened through adversity, now leaves viewers wondering what choice they will make next.
