In yesterday's episode, Yoon Bom drew attention by refusing to avoid the distorted past any longer and deciding to face the truth boldly. because her mother was the famous actress Jung Nan-hee (played by Na Young-hee), she had been forced to remain silent about past suspicions that a teacher had an affair. Yoon Bom honestly posted the story of why she had to come to Shinsu-eup on the school's website bulletin board, then visited her family home and met Choi I-jun (played by Cha Seo Won) and her parents.

At that time, Sun Jae-kyu worked hard to turn the reporter's mind and stood firmly by her until the end, and Yoon Bom also confronted the situation head-on by telling her students the whole truth. colleagues who had been worried only about Yoon Bom and the residents of Shinsu-eup outwardly acted as if nothing was wrong, but still supported the two, conveying warmth and humanity between people.

As the semester drew to a close and the day Yoon Bom had to return to Seoul approached, Yoon Bom and Sun Jae-kyu recorded their precious moments by taking photos of their shared memories. photos stretching like a panorama from the place they first met to in front of the house dried viewers' gums. the two spent their last night in Shinsu-eup, exploding with dopamine from thrilling excitement.

One year later, Yoon Bom returned to her confident self. with Choi I-jun's help she won the ruling in the affair case and shook off the injustice, a development that brought cheers in living rooms. Sun Jae-kyu also appeared at Shinsu High School's event "meeting with a successful professional," evoking emotion as he was greeted by villagers unlike before. Kim Sean, who returned to Shinsu-eup to take Yoon Bom's place, reacted the same way Yoon Bom did when she first met Sun Jae-kyu, saying "Is that your uncle?", which brought laughter.

Meanwhile, while Sun Jae-kyu and Yoon Bom were going about their daily lives in their respective places, Yoon Bom rushed to Shinsu-eup as soon as she opened the gift box Sun Jae-kyu had told her to open when she missed him. although she was full of anticipation, seeing the gift's identity immediately made her face crumple and caused laughter. after arriving in Shinsu-eup, Yoon Bom wandered around the neighborhood looking for Sun Jae-kyu, and the gift box's identity revealed shortly after delivered a surprising twist. it was none other than the dragon-patterned sleeve that had covered Sun Jae-kyu's wound.

The dragon-patterned sleeve contained Sun Jae-kyu's sincere confession, "Only after meeting Ms. Bom did I gain the courage to show my wound to the world," delivering both laughter and emotion. afterward, Sun Jae-kyu presented a prepared proposal to Yoon Bom, and before his line was even finished she answered "Yes!", lifting viewers' smiles. the sweet happy ending of the two who finally met spring after a long winter left a lingering impression in living rooms.

After the broadcast, viewers reacted strongly with comments such as "Yoon Bom has become strong. it's cool she found the courage," "Sun Jae-kyu's trust is so reassuring," "Shinsu-eup is the best neighborhood. so warm," "Ahn Bo-hyun, Lee Joo-been, my life chemistry," "Lee Jun and Jae-kyu's relationship was fun too. chef Choi I-jun," "Han-gyeol and Se-jin are fresh and cute. be happy," "Suit guy is crazy. the proposal ending was so thrilling and pretty, I also say yes!," "I was happy for six weeks," "It ended with the phrase 'Eoit ya!' great work by the production team," "Mondays and Tuesdays were tough days but I recharged watching the drama."

As such, "Spring Fever" filled living rooms with excitement through the romance between the unpredictable, rushing macho Sun Jae-kyu and the voluntary outsider teacher Yoon Bom. Sun Jae-kyu's rugged appearance but warm heart and his pure devotion to Yoon Bom gave viewers vicarious satisfaction and proved the romance box-office formula. in addition to the main couple's romance, the show completed a cross-generational empathetic narrative with the fresh youth romance of Sun Han-gyeol (played by Cho Jun-young) and Choi Se-jin (played by Lee Jaein), the touching middle-age romance of Seo Hye-sook (played by Jin Kyung) and Jung Jin-hyuk (played by Bae Jung-nam), and the strong bromance between Sun Jae-kyu and Choi I-jun. director Park Won-guk's witty direction and strong performances by actors such as Ahn Bo-hyun and Lee Joo-been also harmonized and drew much praise.
