Brewing Love, starring Lee Jung-won and Kim Jeong, aired its final episodes, 11 and 12, on ENA and Rakuten Viki on December 9 and 10, respectively. In episode 11, Yun Min-ju (Lee Jung-won) and Chae Yong-ju (Kim Se-jeong) got into an intense argument, as the former wanted to stop the dispatch of the first batch of Together beer.
This was because of the difference in taste in some cans. For Yun Min-ju, the taste was the priority while Chae Yong-ju wanted to avoid the huge loss of 500 billion KRW. She asked him to leave and let her take the lead from there as she could not stop the dispatch. However, she realized that he was correct and tried to persuade Marketing Director Na (Kim Won-shik), but he did not bat an eye.

The same day, Yun Min-ju and Chae Yong-ju met and realized they were awkward and could not open up about their feelings. Chae Yong-ju wanted Yun Min-ju to open up but he knew it would hurt and that she was going through a hard time due to work, so he did not say a word.
At the end of Brewing Love, Yun Min-ju and Chae Yong-ju had a happy ending. Chae Yong-ju pursued a job she enjoyed while Yun Min-ju started meeting new people through his brewing classes. Based on the series ending, a second season of Brewing Love is unlikely and no official announcements has been made by the production team.
Brewing Love ending explained: Yun Min-ju and Chae Yong-ju enjoy a blissful ending
In Brewing Love episode 11, following the dispatch and launch of Together, Chae Yong-ju learned that Yun Min-ju had been working hard to match the taste of the beer through Aunties Suk-ja (Baek Hyun-joo) and Young-ja (Park Ji-a). She ran to Baekgol-ri when she found out that Yun Min-ju once passed out at the brewery due to overwork.
Chae Yong-ju asked Yun Min-ju about his health but he did not want her to worry so he tried brushing it off saying that he was fine. Chae Yong-ju was upset because it was easy for Yun Min-ju to understand her emotions, but she would never know what he was thinking unless he told her.
Yun Min-ju said that he could not let her feel his emotions. As an empath, he knew it was very painful to feel others' emotions, and he did not want her to go through it. Chae Yong-ju called it a truce and said that there would be no breakup in their relationship. She told him they would reunite once they had managed their emotions.
Chae Yong-ju and Yun Min-ju met each other after the taste match was confirmed. This time, Yun Min-ju opened up about the things he liked and disliked as Chae Yong-ju wanted to share his pain with her. As soon as the two made up, they received bad news: the difference in the taste of Together beer was recognized by a netizen and the brand started receiving criticism.
Negative viral news criticizing the taste of the beer also started circulating. Jisang Beverages received backlash for the new beer while Chae Yong-ju and Marketing Director Na faced the wrath of the higher-ups.
Later in Brewing Love episode 11, Bang A-reum (Shin Do-hyun) and Oh Chan-hwi (Baek Sung-chul) found the culprit behind the negative viral marketing of Jisang Beverages' new beer. It was Planning Director Yeom, who was fired as soon as his deeds were revealed.
In the final episode of Brewing Love, Chae Yong-ju quit her job at Jisang Beverages after Kang Beom (Ryu Won-woo) leaves for the Busan branch. She went to Baekgol-ri to meet Yun Min-ju and burst into tears as one chapter of her life was over. Meanwhile, Oh Chan-hwi went to his house with Bang A-reum for the first time after running away and proposed marriage to her.
Later in Brewing Love episode 12, Chae Yong-ju started her own Craft Beer Bottle Cafe in Baekgol-ri, following her passion for beer while also listening to her favorite music at the cafe. Yun Min-ju started providing brewery lessons to limited students to get out of his comfort zone and meet new people.
Brewing Love season 2 possibilities explored
In the final episode, Yun Min-ju’s father called to tell him that he missed him. Meanwhile, Uk-ja and Young-ja held a self-retirement ceremony at the village and announced their plan to go on a world tour.
The village head (Jang Hyuk-jin) learned that Mr. Kim (Jang Won-young) was running for the village head's election against him. As they got into a silly argument, Mr. Kim’s wife Zhu Yen (Seo I-yeon) revealed that she was the third candidate for the village head election, leaving them stunned.
Furthermore, during the opening of Chae Yong-ju’s cafe, Kang Beom revealed becoming the section chief at the Busan branch and Shim Ra-oh (Ha Min-hyuk) revealed having a hard time due to a junior like himself. Oh Chan-hwi and Bang A-reum received help from the TF team to make their invitation cards. It was revealed that Oh Chan-hwi successfully convinced Bang A-reum’s mother to let him marry Bang A-reum.
Given that all the characters received closure, the chances of a second season of Brewing Love seem low. Furthermore, the drama's production team has not confirmed another season yet.
All 12 episodes of Brewing Love are available on Rakuten Viki for streaming.
