Despite the difficult journey, the two rely on each other and demonstrate strong teamwork.

4 Things That Got Properly Wrapped Up In “Filing For Love”
A rom-com that didn’t follow the conventions of office K-dramas, “Filing for Love” brought to life the story of Joo In Ah (Shin Hae Sun) and Noh Ki Jun (Gong Myoung), a charismatic and unique couple that went from work rivals to sweet lovers in the most endearing way. After 12 episodes filled with electric chemistry, funny moments, and one too many struggles, here are the things that nicely concluded this love story!
Warning: spoilers from episodes 11-12 ahead.
1. Joo In Ah, Noh Ki Jun, and Jeon Jae Yeol teaming up against Jeon Seong Yeol
Despite the tension in last week’s episodes that provoked high blood pressure in anyone watching, the arc around the office politics wraps up in a satisfying fashion when In Ah, Ki Jun, and Jeon Jae Yeol (Kim Jae Wook) team up to bring down Jeon Seong Yeol (Kang Sang Jun). In the midst of seeing this antagonist not only jeopardizing thousands of people’s jobs but also putting at risk the company’s stability, it is Ki Jun who comes through and convinces Jae Yeol to step forward and do something about it.
Through these final moments, they showcase the always dynamic team effort between them and the audit team as well as the importance of their roles in the company and within the show. Although they don’t explore this same union between the main leads, and Park Ah Jeong (Hong Hwa Yeon) is practically kicked out of the picture, the glimpse we get from the interaction between In Ah, Ki Jun, and Jae Yeol is enough to close this chapter for them on a happy note.
2. Jeon Jae Yeol finding his own path out of the company
When it comes to turning the page and starting anew, the one with the cleanest cut is none other than Jeon Jae Yeol. After confronting his father and getting things back on track at the company, he completely distances himself from it. He gets divorced and goes on to live peacefully with his mother, something that he clearly longed for throughout the whole show. He might have lost the place he fought tirelessly to get to, but in exchange, he gets his freedom back.
Looking at this ending, it does seem like his character has been downplayed somehow. Kim Jae Wook’s natural charisma and stage presence make you wish to see more of him, even if he gets the annoying ex-boyfriend’s role at times. They had everything to make him shine out of the love triangle, but ultimately, it didn’t happen. At least, they do some justice for this second male lead when he maturely lets go of his feelings for In Ah and they get to have proper closure.
3. Joo In Ah succeeding as a new executive
If you think of a successful career woman, then Joo In Ah is the perfect picture of it. Her resilience and determination are two of the most admiring features in this character. After becoming a sort of scapegoat during the fierce political war at Haemu, she stays uncompromising on her principles, even when her personal life gets exposed. That is why it cannot pass unnoticed when she finally succeeds as a new executive at the company.
It feels even more fulfilling watching her climb to the top of the ladder as her relationship and love for Ki Jun don’t change her motivation at work. On the contrary, having her partner by her side seems to push her to go even harder at work, which is always a breath of fresh air. Who says a woman can’t have it all? Joo In Ah has proven that she can and will be remembered as the new representation of a strong, independent, and capable female lead.
4. Joo In Ah and Noh Ki Jun building a life together
Since In Ah and Ki Jun’s romance started very unconventionally, it is only fitting that their ending doesn’t fall in the typical “they lived happily ever after” scene. But that doesn’t mean their farewell is any less romantic and special. Once all the struggles pass and they settle into their new positions at work, they are able to look into the future of their relationship. In that sense, both characters stay true to themselves until the very end.
Although it seems their perspectives clash, they are able to find common ground—In Ah protecting her independence and Ki Jun reassuring his presence in her life—both joining their hearts as one. They might not have ended with a big white wedding, but watching them enjoy a peaceful routine, simply living in the ups and downs of everyday life, fits perfectly with this office romance. That alone is enough to say goodbye to them with a big smile on my face!

All Eyes Are On Hong Hwa Yeon In “Filing For Love”
tvN’s “Filing for Love” has shared a suspenseful new glimpse of its next episode!
“Filing for Love” is a romantic comedy that tells the story of Noh Ki Jun (Gong Myoung), the ace of a major corporation’s audit department, who is suddenly demoted to the team that handles internal misconduct. He winds up becoming increasingly entangled with Joo In Ah (Shin Hae Sun), a tough and eccentric team leader who is hiding a secret.
Spoilers
On the previous episode of “Filing for Love,” Noh Ki Jun and the rest of Audit Team 3 stood firmly by Joo In Ah as her scandal shook the entire company. The episode ended on a shocking cliffhanger, with Park Ah Jeong (Hong Hwa Yeon) unexpectedly showing up at the shareholders’ meeting as a witness for Jeon Seong Yeol (Kang Sang Jun).
Newly released stills from the drama’s upcoming episode capture the tension at the meeting after Park Ah Jeong’s surprise appearance. Even amidst this unexpected turn of events, Joo In Ah and Noh Ki Jun remain calm and cool-headed as they watch the situation play out before their eyes.
Meanwhile, Jeon Jae Yeol (Kim Jae Wook) looks betrayed and infuriated as he stares down Park Ah Jeong, who gazes back at him with a complicated mix of emotions.
The “Filing for Love” production team teased, “In Episode 11, which airs on May 30, Joo In Ah will face yet another crisis after being swept up in the Haemu Group succession battle.”
They continued, “Please keep an eye on not only the actions of Joo In Ah and Noh Ki Jun as they fight to protect each other, but also the choices and emotional changes made by Jeon Jae Yeol and Park Ah Jeong.”
To find out what unfolds at the shareholders’ meeting after Park Ah Jeong’s arrival, catch the next episode of “Filing for Love” on May 30 at 9:10 p.m. KST!

3 Times Gong Myoung Supported Shin Hae Sun In Episodes 9-10 Of “Filing For Love”
There’s not much time left for this K-drama, but it looks like things are going toward a total trainwreck. Surprisingly, what started as a funny, light, and spicy romantic comedy, at this point, is turning into a messy office soap opera. However, not everything is lost. The engaging chemistry between the lead couple is keeping this boat afloat, and hopefully, they’ll be strong enough to get this ship going. Through every up and down, here are all the times Noh Ki Jun (Gong Myoung) supported Joo In Ah (Shin Hae Sun) in the latest episodes of “Filing for Love.”
Warning: spoilers from episodes 9-10 ahead.
1. Solving a new case together
These episodes start off with some sweet moments between Ki Jun and In Ah. Once they confirm their mutual feelings, it’s pretty easy for them to become all lovey-dovey with each other, which could turn into a problem when it comes to being as low-key as possible about their romance, at least at work. However, it doesn’t take long for In Ah to lock in and become the focused professional she is—so much so that she even forgets her first date ever with Ki Jun.
Nonetheless, this couple seems to be a match made in heaven. No one could understand her sense of responsibility better than Ki Jun. In that sense, In Ah is very lucky because Ki Jun willingly joins her to solve a new case of work harassment that, coincidentally, ends with the victim taking Ki Jun’s overseas assignment. So, for now, it is confirmed that Ki Jun is going nowhere far from In Ah’s side.
But it seems that the writers are determined to never let them catch their breath. In Ah and Ki Jun can’t even enjoy a romantic dinner without Jeon Jae Yeol (Kim Jae Wook) barging into In Ah’s apartment, briefly stirring the waters between them. The only thing saving this mess is Ki Jun’s emotional maturity and In Ah’s decisive attitude, which does not give any room for misunderstandings, ending up in a steamy night. Sadly, this is only the calm before the storm.
2. Being targeted by Park Ah Jeong
When it comes to secondary characters, Park Ah Jeong (Hong Hwa Yeon) is very hard to understand. It seems that watching In Ah enjoying her romance with Ki Jun and realizing that Jae Yeol is willing to give up everything for her is too much for Ah Jeong to bear. And whether she is too complex to be relatable or too two-dimensional to empathize with, this lady ignites more than just mixed feelings when she decides to take revenge on In Ah by exposing the evidence about her alleged affair.
This not only creates chaos within the company but in the progression of the drama as well. She didn’t have any character development throughout the show, and now, she is turning into a petty villainess. She knows she doesn’t have any chance with Jae Yeol. He’s been clear about his feelings, but the delusions she has about him seem to be stronger than logic, and not even Ki Jun’s pleas to deny the rumors persuade her to back down. But naturally, she gets fired when Jae Yeol discovers the truth.
In the end, Ah Jeong seems to gain nothing out of it. With Jae Yeol defending In Ah by admitting their past relationship, and Ki Jun supporting her through it all, In Ah isn’t afraid to point that out. What goes around comes around in these types of stories, and the fact that In Ah can still stand tall despite the struggles she’s been facing, while Ah Jeong sinks into regret and debt, speaks volumes about how karma could eventually work itself out.
3. Getting entangled in office politics
For the most part, these episodes focus on a lot of frustrating, tense, and a bit unnecessary moments of office politics. Between Jeon Seong Yeol (Kang Sang Jun) trying to take advantage of the ruckus to force In Ah into taking his side, even threatening her to harm her team, and Jae Yeol’s wife stirring things up even more to push her own agenda, all the good things happening in between get diluted as if they never happened.
Even when Ki Jun tries to take the fall to protect In Ah, and she steps up to protect him as well, always making sure that they are hanging in there and being as supportive as possible, all that moves to the background. Ultimately, it looks like Jae Yeol’s family is more than willing to make their problems everyone’s problems. But, how will that play out for the future of In Ah and Ki Jun? Let’s find out in the upcoming and last episodes of “Filing for Love”!

5 Breaking Points In Episodes 7-8 Of “Filing For Love”
This week, some things are in for a big change in “Filing for Love”! In these new episodes, some ghosts from the past return, crazy issues arise at present, and the future starts to look uncertain for Joo In Ah (Shin Hae Sun) and Noh Ki Jun (Gong Myoung). With the story moving forward and the tension between them intensifying, at this point, every step they take feels like a decisive choice. It’s one that could potentially change the course of their lives. Here are some moments that felt like a big breaking point in this K-drama!
Warning: spoilers from episodes 7-8 ahead.
1. Learning about Joo In Ah and Jeon Jae Yeol’s relationship
The cat is out of the bag, and although everyone could have had their suspicions, learning the truth behind the relationship between Joo In Ah and Jeon Jae Yeol (Kim Jae Wook) feels both relieving and bittersweet. Knowing they met when Jae Yeol was attempting to end his life and that In Ah gave all her heart and loyalty to this man even before starting a relationship, only for them to break up, is nothing short of tragic. But at the same time, knowing she has no lingering feelings nor regrets, even though their relationship ran deeper than your typical office romance, is also great.
While this information doesn’t give Ki Jun peace of mind, at least he is willing to give her the benefit of the doubt when he tells her about the anonymous report regarding her and Jae Yeol. If there are any more reasons to love Ki Jun’s character, then this is it. Because no matter how jealous he might be, or how petty he tries to act, like when he goes one-on-one against Jae Yeol in a soccer game, he remains true to his feelings for In Ah. Ki Jun ultimately decides to trust her and to close the case against her as a pure misunderstanding.
2. Joo In Ah and Noh Ki Jun growing closer
Love grows in the face of adversities. And even when Ki Jun getting literally stabbed by an employee who was sexually harassing female co-workers seems a little too drastic, it works its purpose. In Ah running towards Ki Jun the moment she knows he is hurt, and watching her frantic reaction upon seeing him covered in blood, is impressive. The anguish, the fear in her expression, and the devotion she shows staying by his side after he is out of danger give you chills with excitement. This is the definite moment when she opens up her heart, and everyone around her can notice how much brighter and happier she is; that is Ki Jun’s effect on her life.
And believe it or not, they aren’t even dating yet. But in a romance drama, there’s nothing better than two main characters communicating with each other and understanding each other’s minds. Before jumping into a relationship, which could feel like a slowdown in the pace they’ve been following, they have the chance to talk, to actually get to know each other better. As thrilling as the steamy kiss scenes may appear, the moment they share their fears and thoughts under the rain, that’s when the romance really sparks, and you can feel them falling completely in love.
3. Joo In Ah drawing the line with Jeon Jae Yeol
Before In Ah can start her sweet romance with Ki Jun, she still has one obstacle left to clear: Jeon Jae Yeol. Once she learns that he is trying to send Ki Jun overseas, she steps up to set the record straight. But In Ah drawing the line between them only makes him more desperate to reach out to her again, unable to let go of his lingering feelings. And it’s understandable, since his character is quite pitiful. But as sad as his life might be, the moment he chose his family’s company over love he had already sealed his fate.
Nonetheless, despite In Ah not having feelings for him anymore, when she realizes that Ki Jun could potentially damage Jae Yeol’s already precarious situation at the company, she decides not to disclose the information and agrees to send Ki Jun away as soon as possible. Although her actions come from the last threads of loyalty In Ah has for Jae Yeol, that ignites a spark of hope in his heart, which could potentially backfire on her in the future.
4. Park Ah Jeong confronting Jeon Jae Yeol about In Ah
So far, things have been looking like a love triangle, but a character that’s also been there all along is Park Ah Jeong (Hong Hwa Yeon). Contrary to what appeared in the beginning, she isn’t the type to unnecessarily cling to someone who clearly isn’t interested in her, which in her case is Jae Yeol. However, she isn’t a pushover either, and she does care about Ki Jun, even if she isn’t precisely fond of In Ah or their relationship.
Whether this change of heart comes out of jealousy or genuine concern, she is the only one with the courage to confront Jae Yeol about his petty attitude towards In Ah and Ki Jun. It does seem like her character is kept too much on the sidelines, without much relevance other than her having a crush on the second male lead. But that’s why the plot twist works so well when we find out that she is the one who sent the anonymous mail to Ki Jun about In Ah and Jae Yeol. And surely, she won’t stay silent about it anymore.
5. Noh Ki Jun running to Joo In Ah
When it seems like everything is set and done between Ki Jun and In Ah, both ready to give up on whatever was starting between them, the last breaking point happens. The time they spent together serves as the bridge to unite them again. That’s why it is so important that she explains her fears and how she’s always wished for someone to fight for her until the end, even if she pushed them away. And fortunately, Ki Jun also has the support of his older sisters, who make him see the truth behind In Ah’s actions.
Giving In Ah the hope she always wished to receive, Ki Jun travels to Jeju Island to clear up all the misunderstandings and ends up healing something he didn’t break. And In Ah reciprocates by giving the last step to him, kissing him wholeheartedly. This moment feels as special as it looks. The softness and passion of the scene is everything we’ve been waiting for them. Their dating era is finally starting, but what other troubles will they face in the future? Let’s find out in the next episodes of “Filing for Love”!
