The ending of Ballerina gives viewers hope that good wins over evil. Ok-Ju (played by Jeon Jong-Seo) manages to get revenge for the death of her friend, Min-Hee (played by Park Yu-Rim).

Before Min-Hee commits suicide, she leaves behind a note for Ok-Ju to avenge her. She did not explain her decision. Instead, she left behind the Instagram handle of the person responsible for her death: Choi Pro (played by Kim Ji-Joon).

After finding out who he is, Ok-Ju decides to get him to seduce him. Later, Ok-Ju manages to scar the antagonist by pulling his knife across his cheek. Unfortunately, she is unable to kill him off since Choi's other companions attack Ok-Ju.

She manages to escape with one of Choi's other victims, a high school student (played by Shin Se-Hwi).

Later in the show, Choi manages to find Ok-Ju and the student. He takes the student and makes up a story about cutting Ok-Ju's body to pieces. Unfortunately for him, Ok-Ju manages to find the underground laboratory where Choi and his bosses produce the drugs.

Ok-Ju kills off everyone, including the big boss (played by Kim Mu-Yeol). She finds the high school student escorted out in a small vehicle by Choi's right-hand man. Before she can shoot him, Choi fires at her.

Myung-Shik (played by Park Hyoung-Soo) believes she is dead and volunteers to clean up the mess for 100 million won. Choi shoots him too and proceeds to Ok-Ju.

Thankfully, the student awakes and fires at her captor. Although she doesn't hit him, it distracts Choi so Ok-Ju can redeem her gun to fire at him.

Is Choi Pro Dead?

Ok-Ju and the student bring Choi to the beach to finish him off. As she takes out a flame thrower that she acquired earlier, Choi starts begging for his life.

He tells her that he did not do anything so bad to warrant him a death sentence. He insists that he doesn't know Ok-Ju and that she has taken things too far.

When Ok-Ju tells her that she is the ballerina, he realizes who she is. He threatens to find Min-Hee in hell and do the same thing to her again. Ok-Ju tells him that he will then be her prey should that happen.

Choi again adds insult to his situation by body shaming Min-Hee for being too fat to be a real ballerina. This prompts Ok-Ju to fire up her flame thrower and kill the antagonist once and for all.

Those who are under CEO Jo's command were all killed by Ok-Ju when she came down to the underground lab. Even the big boss himself was shot straight in the forehead without any time for introductions.

It's likely there are others who'll want Ok-Ju to answer for these deaths. But as far as Ok-Ju is concerned, her mission of avenging her friend's death is done.
