Ana and Jaesun have the heart to heart they’ve been waiting months to have. And we find ourselves back where it all started — the noraebang.
Chloe shows the girls around Seoul, and Ana gains a deeper understanding of the man she loves while Valentina lives her kpop fantasies. Jaesun returns home from the army to the biggest surprise of his life.
Ana, Valentina, and Mark say goodbye to Don Dago’s, and Mark says goodbye to Ana. Sookmin reveals the villain that has been masterminding things all along. Chloe presents the sisters with an opportunity of a lifetime — and the Campos sisters head to Seoul.
Ana attempts to clear the air with Chloe, who learns something that may change everything for the future of Don Dago’s — and the future of Ana and Jaesun.
Mark confesses his lifelong love for Ana. Chloe shares what she’s seen with Jaesun. Jaesun confronts Ana, and all the truths they’ve been holding back tumble out.
Ana finally faces up to the devastating news that Don Dago’s is closing down and breaks the news to her restaurant family. Later, Chloe sees Ana and Mark … in a kiss.
Jaesun struggles to escape his rich kid reputation in the military. Ana struggles with business debts piling up at home. Neither of them communicate, and the tension threatens to unravel their long distance romance.
Jaesun reunites with his billionaire business magnate father, Sookmin, who reminds him that their enemies are always watching, especially after his big victory in LA. Meanwhile, Ana gets some confusing and disturbing news about her own business, but she, Valentina and Mark resolve to figure it out together, as they always have.
Jaesun and Ana’s whirlwind romance takes them across all the most delicious spots in LA and Mexico City, and Ana finds herself, despite her best efforts, falling in love. Unfortunately, Jaesun’s time in LA is up, and it’s time for him to return to Korea for his military service. Ana leans on her sister, Valentina, and her bestie, Mark, for comfort.
