The beginning of parting

On episode 14, Soo Hyun decides to break up with Jin Hyuk to preserve his family’s happiness. On their last date, right before Soo Hyun breaks up with Jin Hyuk, they drop by Stamp Coffee in Yeonnam-dong. This is a popular café in the Yeonnam-dong area, and you will see a long lineup by the café every day. Before you even enter the café, the freshly baked bread and dessert displayed along the window will catch your eye in a heartbeat. You won’t find anything here that does not look appetizing, from the chocolate scone and tiramisu ordered by Soo Hyun and Jin Hyuk to the café’s most well-known menus like jelly meringue cookies and mascarpone strawberry cheesecake.
