The K-drama’s ending had fans intrigued by a bigger storyline. Throughout the K-drama, Jin-man is presumed dead, despite Ji-an and fans’ suspicions that something wasn’t right about his death. After a long few days of protecting the store from heavy gunfire and Jin-man’s old comrades, part of the truth is revealed.
While Ji-an successfully stops more attacks and embarks on a new day as the store’s manager, Jin-man is revealed to be alive. He arrives in a taxi looking worse for wear with cuts and bruising.
