Love to Hate You Ending Explained
Mi-ran and Kang-ho finally declared their love for each other and started to move ahead with their relationship, but a turbulent journey lay ahead of them. During the closing party organised by the actor, a video circulated among the guests, which created an uncomfortable atmosphere.
The news finally broke to the couple, and they discovered that the video was about Mi-ran’s past life and relationships. An anonymous person online revealed to the gossip channel that the lawyer used to visit pubs with multiple men and engage in one-night stands. This created dissent in the industry towards her as people started to tarnish Kang-ho’s name and reputation. The actor’s fans also demanded an apology and requested the artist to break up.
