Seo Ye-Ji’s Eve K-drama ending explained & spoilers

The ending of the Netflix K-drama Eve focuses on Lee La El (Seo Yea Ji) and her detailed plan of revenge against the highest-ranking politician, Han Pan Ro. The plan also includes his daughter Han So Ra, LY group chairman Kang Yoon Gyeom, and Pan Ro’s right-hand man, Kim Jong Chul. All the characters have played a part in the murder of Lee La El’s father and CEO of GEDIKS, Lee Tae Joon.

Lee La El plots to cause a divorce between the married couple Han So Ra and Kang Yoon Gyeom. The split would eventually cause a conflict between the two powerful families. To succeed, she starts an affair with Kang Yoon Gyeom.

To make the plan successful, Lee La El assumes the identity of Kim Sun Bin, a woman married to LY employee Jang Jin Wook. Sun Bin’s stepdaughter attends the same school as Han So Ra’s daughter, Da-Bi. After penetrating Han So Ra’s inner circle, Sun Bin stuns her husband in a school dance performance. Later, she informs So Ra of her husband’s affair.

As the plot thickens, Kang Yoon Gyeom learns the truth about Lee La El’s identity. Lee La El starts a murder case against So Ra, Kang Yoon Gyeom, and others involved. The LY chairman does not use his power to pressure the case’s verdict. Instead, he resigns as the chairman and vows to take responsibility for his wrongdoing.

Elsewhere, Lee La El understands that in between initiating an affair with Kang, she has started believing in the twin flame theory. Her connection with Kang had an ulterior motive. However, she begins truly loving the chairman, which worries her about his safety.

Eve Finale: Does it have a happy ending?

At the beginning of Eve’s final episode, 16, La El wakes up at Kang’s vacation house with the chairman beside her. She is frightened after having a bad dream in which Kang dies. The scene is significant as it proves that La El’s feelings for Kang are true, and she may choose him instead of her good friend, Seo Eun Pyung, who helped her in the revenge plan.

Kim Jeong Chul attacks La El at the vacation house, but Kang manages to save her. The former dies at Kang’s hands. Seo Eun Pyung helps Kang from the police, calling it “self-defense.” However, So Ra takes advantage of the situation and kidnaps La El.

Kang rushes to save La El and makes a drastic decision. He drives himself and So Ra off the cliff to end their lives. So Ra survives, but Kang dies in the accident. Later, Kang’s family discovers he has given all his company shares to La El.

After the accident, So Ra loses her sense of reality. La El visits her to remind her that she caused Kang’s death. Elsewhere at the court, one of the ex-prime minister’s employees gives testimony of their crimes, which helps Lee Ra El win.

With Kang’s shares, La El started compensating the victims and even made LY company a nonprofit organization to help those affected by corporate crimes. After the court case ends, she travels to Buenos Aires, where she meets Kang for the first time. Seo Eun Pyung decides to follow her.

The ending of the K-drama ending is open to interpretation, as many think La El will decide to live with Kang’s memory. However, as she mentions the importance of true love and freedom in her last speech, many believe La El may get together with Seo Eun Pyung later.

La El’s revenge plan becomes successful, but it comes with a high cost: losing her twin flame, Kang, who was also indirectly involved in her father’s cruel assassination. So, the ending brings justice to La El’s painful past, and her future remains a mystery for viewers.
