i dont get it. In the end when robin sits down he says he loves min jun in front of her parents, but min jun's parents question whether he wants to marry her and robin says not yet. Then min jun's father says something along the line of : i want you to quit your job tommorrow. Is this ending trying to suggest that there's gonna be a second movie or something else? Apart from saying that he loved min jun, what else was he gonna say?
was he gonna ask the parents if min jun could go abroad with him ?

I think the ending shows a stark contrast between Eastern and Western cultures. When Robin meets Min-jun's parents, he doesn't go to them with a notion of marriage. Instead, at least in Robin's eyes, it's classified as a social visit. However in Eastern cultures (now I am talking from experience), meeting the parents means taking a relationship to the next level- i.e. marriage. So in this case, Min-jun's parents perceived his visit as asking for their daughter's hand in marriage.

Also he did not say that he did NOT want to marry her, just not yet.

I find that in the west - US and Canada - people tend to date for longer periods of time and usually live togetehr first.

I thought this was a godo way of showing the differences culturally.

Also since he was being transferred soon, I think he wanted to wait to get engaged when he came back or possibly even take her with him when he left.
