In the beginning of Episode10, Jae-rim believes that she is not capable of being loved. Tears start to fall when she reads Cha-min’s letter, declaring she is not Cinderella but a fighter. In a flashback, it is revealed that her mother abandoned her. She weeps by herself when her father passes away, feeling like she does not belong in the step-family.
However, Cha-min assisted her in realizing that her pain stemmed from her inability to love herself. She also remembers that when she was a child, she wanted to be brave like Prince Charming. She lifts herself up and prepares for her job. Secretary Heo gives her a sudden call and informs her that the club has been closed.
Jae-rim quickly gets serious as she initially turns down Do-hong. She expresses regret to him as she is attracted to another person and encourages him to take pride in his BL novels. He has provided sufficient assistance to her, however she has confidence in her ability to secure a job. She doesn’t make progress because most locations demand a portfolio. She finished the storyboard for Do-hong’s new film, but she neglected to request copies from him.
Her reverie is interrupted when she begins to have hallucinations of Cha-min. No matter how hard she tries, he refuses to leave. During her stroll, she waves off a bothersome couple with his umbrella and ponders whether he might be homeless. She envisions females offering him money due to his attractiveness.
She looks back on their past experiences with happiness and ends up at the club. She notices a person searching through things and strikes back with Cha-min’s umbrella. Nevertheless, it appears that Cha-min was actually the one preoccupied with finding the engagement ring he misplaced during the altercation at the club involving Dan-a’s father.
Jae-rim lends him a hand and realizes that the moment is right – she admits her feelings for him, leaving him stunned since he is no longer wealthy. She affirms that they can be a couple of individuals in love who are both impoverished. They share a kiss and declare their love for one another.
In the end, he presents her with the engagement ring and says sorry for not being her Prince Charming. She is fine being his Prince Charming and the one who brings home the bacon. She buys him a meal and brings him home where her step-family lavishes attention on him. He identifies as Jae-rim’s partner, and the step-family gestures playfully and retreats to the bedroom to allow them some alone time.
While making his bed in the hall, Jae-rim brings him close and they share a kiss. He suggests going to his home and she is surprised to find out he has a place to live. It appears that he tracked her back to her home because he was longing for her. Cha-min feels ashamed in the morning when the step-family catches them sleeping together. While eating breakfast, step-sister #2, Hwa-jin is irritated to discover that her favorite food is also his, resulting in a competition to see who can eat the most.
Afterwards, Cha-min goes to see his father, Mr. Moon, and declares his love for him despite being rejected. He urges his father to refrain from feeling sorry for himself and instead, to enjoy his life with the person he loves. Cha-min goes away and we witness the arrival of Lily, Mr. Moon’s former wife. Mr Moon appears angry, but is actually happy to see her. He ultimately transfers his business to Cha-min so he can concentrate on Lily.
Afterwards, Dan-a, Cha-min’s former partner, visits a shaman to ask for a faithful yet attractive partner. They notice Jae-rim’s talisman left behind, indicating her wish did not come true. However, it is unimportant because she has discovered her Prince Charming.
Furthermore, a channel producer contacts Jae-rim and proposes an animated project after reviewing her storyboard for Do-hong. She is ecstatic as she hurries to Cha-min to tell him the great news. She has finally come to comprehend her father’s last words, advising her to find a caring partner in order to achieve success.
The scene shifts to 6 months later, showing her caring for her step-mother, So-ra, who delivers a baby girl. Afterwards, we discover that Jae-rim and Cha-min have moved in together into an apartment, where she is busy working on the animated project. Whenever she neglects him, he pouts, but she consistently prioritizes spending time with him.
In the finale of Dreaming of a Freaking Fairytale Episode 10, Jae-rim, Cha-min, Do-hong, and the club’s staff come together to view Jae-rim’s animated film. It is the brief introduction to Cinderella that we witness at the start of every episode, where the narrator states that everyone will eventually find their happily ever after.
The series is ended. It was truly spectacular. A typical Rom com which ended very well.
