KBS’ The Matchmakers ended on a high note as Shin Jung Woo (portrayed by Rowoon) and Jung Soon Deok (Cho Yi Hyun) found their happily ever after. The final episode not only marked a fitting end to the series but also garnered its highest viewership rating throughout its entire run, reaching an impressive 5.8 percent.
The final episode had Jo Ye Jin and Yoon Bu Gyeom officially exchanging vows in the presence of Kim Moon Gun, Lady Park So Hyeon (portrayed by Park Ji Young) and onlookers. However, Lady Park learns that Soon Deok told Jo Ye Jin about her ties to her husband and brother’s deaths. Outraged, she sets a trap to ensnare Soon Deok and Jung Woo.
"I will die as the daughter-in-law of the Jo family.However, Jung Soon Duk…will never die because of her family."
Her love for her family>
Her late husband, her son, her sister in law and even her evil mother in law. What a character 😭❤️#TheMatchMakers#TheMatchMakersEp16 pic.twitter.com/vwHdxbP9Hy— Lee Yun 🦋🌺 (@LeeYunnes) December 25, 2023
What a heartwarming reunion between Jung Woo and Soon Deok! I absolutely loved this scene, especially the way Rowoon and Cho Yi Hyun conveyed emotions through their eyes while delivering their lines.#TheMatchmakersFinale #TheMatchmakers #TheMatchmakersEp16#혼례대첩 #로운… pic.twitter.com/Q0JHJhSRbE

It's final! They meet with new identities after their old identities are declared dead by the world. So, with the new identities, that means their long forbidden love finally ends. Happy ending!!!💕#TheMatchmakers #TheMatchmakersEp16#Rowoon #ChoYihyun pic.twitter.com/96BpesQKMd

The final episode concludes as Shim Jung Woo charmingly asks, “Shall we now travel the eight provinces to find ideal matches for singles?” subtly proposing to her. Soon Deok replies, “Let’s start with an exciting date first,” and he responds, “An exciting date? Absolutely,” with a smile.
The finale of #TheMatchmakers was ok. I’m happy the Maeng sisters are happily married, but I wanted a more epic/romantic finale for Jung-woo and Soon-deok. Their relationship took a backseat to the other young couples. #TheMatchmakersEp16 #Rowoon #ChoYihyun pic.twitter.com/WDFdb6UazR
