Crash Course in Romance fans have their minds full of the possible dangers their favorite characters might be in in the upcoming episode. It has taken an especially drastic turn after revealing Ji Dong-hui’s true identity as the serial killer in episode 12. Nam Hae-e, Nam Haeng-seon’s daughter, could be in danger in the upcoming episode.

Episode 13’s preview showcases Haeng-seon and Choi Chi-yeol confronting Ji Dong-hui for his rough behavior. During that time, Lee Sun-jae’s mother also threatens Hae-e about exposing their secrets, as it could lead to many lives being destroyed. A distraught Hae-e is then seen walking alone at night and turning back, as if in reaction to a sound.

Hae-e's phone is also unreachable, as established by Chi-yeol, Young-joo, and Jae-woo, who are hurdled around a worried Haeng-seon trying to call Hae-e, but to no avail. It then seems clear that the serial killer has changed his target from mother to daughter.

Furthermore, the teaser shows Hae-e and Sun-jae's mother having a private conversation in which the latter attempts to bury the secret of leaked exam papers. If the secret comes out, Hae-e and Sun-jae may face punishments and end up missing a crucial year in college.

Dong-hui also seems to have moved on from targeting Haeng-seon. However, it is possible that he has decided to go for the next person who Haeng-seon loves the most—Hae-e, her niece/daughter. If he does, then it will be poetic justice in his eyes, as for him, Haeng-seon has stolen his beloved person, Chi-yeol.
