At the beginning of Episode 9, Ju-won comes to drop Yun-seo home. While leaving, Ju-won asks her when she will wear the ring and accept his marriage proposal. She hesitated, and Ju-won left.
The next day, Yun-seo visited Ju-won’s mother and returned her money before accepting Ju-won's proposal. His mother warned her of the upcoming consequences.
Following this meeting, Yun-seo went to the office and found that she was no longer an employee of AL Group. She was removed with immediate effect. This made her sad, but she knew why this happened.
However, since Yun-seo was already in her notice period, she opted not to create an issue. But Ju-won quickly learned the truth. He tried to talk to his mother about it, but Yun-seo stopped him.
As she was free from work now, Yun-seo went to meet Seong-min in his studio, and as expected, Ju-won followed her. Three of them went out for drinks, but soon Yun-seo received a call from her brother Ji-seok, so she left. Yun-seo went to see her brother’s culinary school as he had a passion for cooking.
In the meantime, Seong-min and Ju-won chatted and got drunk. He was advised by Seong-min to have an open dialogue with his mother to comprehend her motivations for making certain decisions. They were able to put their differences aside after Ju-won grasped the significance of his words. When Yun-seo got back from meeting Ji-seok, she saw them greeting each other.
Ju-won woke up at home the next morning and remembered everything he had done drunk. Recalling last night, he asked his mother's permission for his marriage. Ju-won also mentioned his mother's opposition to his childhood dream of sculpting.
As shown in his childhood scene, his mother was obsessed with her company and work and rarely saw her sons. All her decisions were influenced by company profit.

This Cinderella at 2 AM episode ended with Yun-seo meeting Ju-won's mother. Ju-won's mother demanded Yun-seo meet one condition before letting her marry her son.
In her condition, the chairwoman intended to use Yun-seo's humble upbringing to promote her business. She told Yun-seo she had to manage the company's scholarship foundation as it would appear genuine since she comes from a humble background. Yun-seo and Ju-won's mother made the deal in Cinderella at 2 AM.
Cinderella at 2 AM episode 10: Ju-won and Yun-seo get married
The final episode of Cinderella at 2 AM began with a chaotic scene where Ju-won's father asked for a divorce and his mother prepared to sue him. This news harmed the company and the chairwoman. Meanwhile, Yun-seo sat with the chairwoman, who approved Ju-won's marriage with conditions.
Yun-seo agreed to this marriage deal, and while she was discussing this with her friend Yi-rae, her brother Ji-seok overheard their conversation. He got angry and rushed to meet Ju-won at his office. Yun-seo followed him.
Ji-seok disclosed Ju-won’s mother’s deal to him. Yun-seo sent him away and told Ju-won that it was true. This certainly disappointed Ju-won, but Yun-seo convinced him to talk to his mother. She also told him that both brothers must take their mother out for a change of scenery. They followed what she said.
Ju-won and Si-won forcefully took their mother for a trip. Things went well, and they opened up to each other. When his mother asked about who gave him the idea of fresh air and a change of scenery, Ju-won took Yun-seo’s name.
After this, his mother said Yun-seo agreed to run a scholarship program and let the company use her poor background. Since Ju-won would feel bad, she only asked that the deal not be revealed. His mother saw that Yun-seo always looked out for her son while she focused on her business.
Finally, Ju-won’s mother gave her permission wholeheartedly. Both brothers also assured their support to their mother, in her case.
The show takes a two-month leap. Ju-won was shown sleeping with Si-won. The couple's pre-wedding photos filled Ju-won's room. Meanwhile, Yun-seo became a scholarship foundation executive.
Ju-won was preparing for marriage while Yun-seo was focused on her new job. They argued over these preparations, but once they understood each other, they resolved it. Ju-won's mother told him Yun-seo worked hard for the foundation.
Ji-seok started to like Ju-won too. Seong-min made their wedding invitation, Mi-jin helped Ju-won choose furniture, and Ji-seok helped him select a house.
Towards the last scene of Cinderella at 2 AM’s finale episode, Ju-won gifted new heels to Yun-seo on the wedding day. She wore them, and then the two walked down the aisle. The story ended like a fairy tale, which resonates well with the title of this COUPANG play drama.
Season 2 renewal possibilities for Cinderella at 2 AM
The finale episode of Cinderella at 2 AM gave a happy ending to both male and female protagonists. Therefore, this reduces the chances for the second season of Cinderella at 2 AM.
Besides the leading characters, the second lead couple, featuring Si-won and Mi-jin, also confessed their love to each other. The love finally grew into their arranged marriage and they became a loving couple.
The remaining supporting characters, including Seong-min, Ji-seok, Yi-rae, and the chairwoman, appeared pleased for Ju-won and Yun-seo upon their marriage conclusion. In the concluding dialogue, Yun-seo stated that her Cinderella fairy tale concluded with a joyful ending. This rendered it more apparent that a second season might not happen.
The production team of Cinderella at 2 AM has not yet provided any input regarding the second season of the show. Consequently, the prospects for renewal for the second season are slim.
