My Thoughts
They can’t quit the memories of each other. Writer Jung Hyun Jung (Romance is a Bonus Book) focused the seventh episode Jae Won and Eun O trying to release themselves from their past relationship. Easier said than done. Their parallel paths in getting rid of the surfboards was cute.
Park Jae Won (Ji Chang Wook) realized the dashcam could help. After his car was towed, it dawned on him the dashcam might help him find Eun O. Little does he know that if Kyeong Jun sees a photo of her, he’ll recognize Eun O.
Lee Eun O (Kim Ji Won) struggled to release the surfboard. Eun O still cares about Jae Won, but continues to put her friendships with Kang Gun, Kyeong Jun and Suh Rin above her two-month vacation relationship with Jae Won. Little does she know Jae Won might be able to get a photo of her from his dashcam.

It seems to identify which has the higher priority…a love that would disrupt her life or the life she’s comfortable with.
