It was fate beyond coincidence..Kim So-hyun ♥ Chae Jong-hyeop, the happy ending achieved by his first love ('Is it a coincidence?')



"Is it a coincidence?"' Kim So-hyun and Chae Jong-eui's first love was fate beyond coincidence.

tvN's Monday-Tuesday drama "Is It Coincidence?" (written by Park Gro, directed by Song Hyun-wook and Jung Kwang-sik) ended in response on the 13th. The fate of Lee Hong-joo (Kim So-hyun) and Kang Ho-young (Chae Jong-hyeop), who eventually chose each other after numerous coincidences, gave a lingering feeling beyond excitement until the end.

The audience's response was also enthusiastic. According to the results released by Fundex, the official platform of Good Data Corporation, it topped the TV-OTT integration chart in the second week of August, and Chae Jong-hyup (1st place) and Kim So-hyun (2nd place) also reached the top 2 in the performers' popularity, achieving a successful ending.



On this day, Lee Hong-ju and Kang Hu-young overcame the crisis and confirmed the magnitude of their love for each other. To Lee Hong-ju, who was worried about giving up something precious because of himself, Kang Hu-young conveyed the importance of spending time with Lee Hong-ju above all else, saying, `When I'm with you, I keep knowing what I can't do.' Kang Hu-young and Lee Hong-joo, who became dreams of sharing each other's daily lives and being together even in small moments, enjoyed a sweet time.

But the crisis continued. Baek Do-sun (Kim Jeong-nan), who realized that it was not easy to change Kang's mind, took out his last card, saying he would file a lawsuit under the pretext of leaking company secrets. And he suggested that Lee Hong-ju come to the United States, saying that he would like to be by Kang Hu-young's side for a long fight. Lee Hong-ju could not hide his complicated mind as he walked through places filled with memories with Kang Ho-young.



Kang Hu-young also asked Lee Hong-ju to go to the United States with him after deep thought. However, Lee Hong-ju cried because she could not leave her dream and the present where her loved ones were. Kang Hu-young patted and cheered on Lee Hong-ju, and handed them a book called 'My avant-garde man' that had a special meaning. And "I'm coming back. I'll come back to the world you live in," he said, confirming his unchanging mind.

Lee Hong-joo and Kang Hu-young made memories by dating like any other lovers. That's how Kang Hu-young's farewell party came. However, Lee Hong-ju was unable to attend the farewell party due to her busy work, and Kang Hu-young had to spend her last lonely night in Lee Hong-ju, who could not be reached. Eventually, a surprise gift arrived in front of Kang Hu-young, who arrived at the airport alone without seeing Lee Hong-ju. After preparing to leave for the U.S. with Kang Hu-young, Lee Hong-joo appeared at the airport. Lee Hong-ju said to Kang Hu-young, who looked surprised "This is no coincidence. I found you." The kiss between the two, which started as a coincidence but ended up as fate, gave them a perfect happy ending.



An unknowingly accidental encounter between the two drawn over the narration of Lee Hong-ju and Kang Hu-young, "'There was our fateful choice before all coincidences.'" The coincidences were moments created by the fate of Lee Hong-ju and Kang Hu-young. Lee Hong-joo, who became a 'love skeptic' due to the aftermath of a ruined relationship, and Kang Ho-young, who still had her first love 10 years ago, did not complete the memory of her incomplete first love until she was 29. The romance between Lee Hong-joo and Kang Ho-young, who became each other's fate, left a heart-wrenching lingering and excited until the end.

Above all, Kim So-hyun and Chae Jong-eui's passionate performance was definitely outstanding. From the pure and fresh first love of nineteen to the story of twenty-nine youth searching for true love. He recalled the memories of his first love, drawing various emotional lines in the 10-year narrative in detail. Kim So-hyun and Chae Jong-hyeop, who made use of the beauty of pure romance that stimulates emotions, properly shot the hearts of female viewers in their 20s and 30s and led a heated response. On top of that, the performances of trusted actors such as Yoon Ji-on, Kim Dasom, Lee Won-jung, Hwang Sung-bin, Choi Dae-cheol, Kim Won-hae, Yoon Jung-hee, and Kim Jung-nan were also well received.
