Because for some people, we view a drama or a cinema as a picture that tell stories. Which brings us to review and value the drama based on the whole storyline. Not giving score to which part of the drama we like most, because if you value drama let say by the amount of kissing, or maybe from lovey dovey scene, this drama will bore you instantly. So yeah, some of us think that from the very beginning they introduced the characters, the conflict, the tipping point to the resolution, plot by plot. That simple ending is perfect to close the storyline as a whole. But it's understandable if others want more lovey dovey scene (it's not like I'm against it, I definitely also want to see them as couple too, but if they didn't..I wouldn't jump to turn that whole beautiful story into a hate). I hope it helps

You bet! ugh Wednesday feels more exciting back then :D

Done reading it, thank you for the reply! if it's okay for you you might also wanted to read another comment I left above this. This is my personal opinion, but I don't think it has anything to do with culture or
family bond. If you watch closely, woojoo's family tend to not meddling with eachothers problem to begin with, not until they found out about woojoo's relationship (which is reasonable since it's linked to the whole family). None of them actually have any idea about the revenge, that is why I told you that she is put her family first since the very beginning. Reality speaking, western, eastern, falling in love with the mistress son isn't something easy to rationalize with your family. You said that love never was an impact for her, I feel like the oposite. Her relationship with dongjin is actually give an impact to the whole family. Her sister regret as why she never act like a big sister to begin with, her brother thinks that he should get a better job so that woojoo doesn't have to meet dongjin in the first place, her mother admit after meeting heeja she also don't think revenge makes her feel better. I don't know if you watch the part of her talking to heeja but it also explain why she has to let go her hatred towards heeja. So their love is actually a tipping point for everyone invloved. But in the midst of this, the fact that dongjin IS still son of heeja still remains, even if they all have their own ephipany, all of them will need time to settle and sort their feelings.That is why break up is very much needed.

And you know what, she is different from kang minyoung. Kang minyoung knew dongjin first way before she met dongjin's mother. As his girlfriend with that length of relationship, she should have known dongjin like the back of her hand. Her, having a second thoughts and wavering just because his mother's nature shows how much she actually loves dongjin. On the other hand, woojoo knew Heeja first. She has every reason to be judgemental towards dongjin. But with that short of period, she support dongjin like no other. Even on the conversation with her mother, she still thinking about him. She ended up forgive Ma hejaa because of him. As for the reason she left, I believe I already explained it on the previous comment above. But yeah, her and minyoung is really different :)

I understand what you're saying, but in reality is there really any kind of "better version" of conversation to muster when you're falling in love with the mistress son? I honestly think they aren't, no matter how you try to reason your family. And as I said before, woojoo's growth is laid on her ability to actually letting go. Her trying to talk out her relationship is only making her looks as childish as her trying to take a revenge because that is her nature in the beginning, action first think later. In a contrary, after she talk to ma hejaa and decided to separate from dongjin, it is actually a highlight of her growth. So doing nothing is actually doing something for her character. Letting her family witnessing dongjin character by themselves to the point they can actually separate him from his mother is actually a reasonable thing to do. As I said before, you just had to see this from another POV in the most realistic way.

A little bit add on, but I kinda understand why some people see it that way. We tend to forget that it's actually happened from 2019 to 2023, she actually get a good job, getting promoted, doing things that she likes, it's not like she's sitting around miserably waiting for a miracle, she actually is growing up and moving on. But since the genre is melodrama, there's a lot of emotional shot to exaggerate the feelings that never fade away, so yeah.. it's understandable.

I disagree with you. This is actually the first kdrama who are being compliant with their genre and storyline. Whether it's a drama or movie, storyline it's important and it should be drawn in the same line as the description of character. For example, shim woojoo since the very beginning was always a family girl, stubborn, blatant, cold, but have a great sense of empathy and justice. Her main objective is revenge and her closure is letting go, her achievement and character growth is her ability to let go of her past and moving forward and not her fighting her own family for the sake of love. If she did fight her family then It's not growth it's rather looks like breaking a character. And there goes as well for the rest of character, I think this drama is really different you actually need to view it in a different view point from all the usual kdrama storyline.

LOL now this drama is hyping lots of people is actually start to put interest on watching it. But if you tend to skip, asking when will the romance begin, will there be any break up?
I suggest you to drop this drama at once to prevent such foolish comments about the story was slow, the characters were flat or draggy. If you cannot appreciate motion picture as a way to tell different kind of story and emotions not only just about physical touch, dating, etc. Please just drop it, not every romance has to be told and paint in the same way. If you cannot appreciate it, just leave it.

Way past what? You literally can use your finger to count this kind of genre. You on the other hand knowingly said that in cinematic industry, such as genre are not allowed to be shown for viewers just because in your standard it's "toxic" ignoring the fact that people have ability to choose whether to watch or leave this kind of genre. It's like you are mad to people who create action movie because your child can see it and it might damage them when you have the ability and control by not letting your child watch it.
At this point you just stating your opinion, it's not a fact. Stop talking like you're a representative of people.

At this point I just gonna copy paste the definition of melodrama for people who are too lazy to read THE GENRE or maybe don't have a google on their phone?? "A modern melodrama is a dramatic work in which the plot, typically sensationalized and for a strong emotional appeal, takes precedence over detailed characterization. Melodramas typically concentrate on dialogue that is often bombastic or excessively sentimental, rather than action. Characters are often flat, and written to fulfill stereotypes. Melodramas are typically set in the private sphere of the home, focusing on morality and family issues, love, and marriage, often with challenges from an outside source, such as a "temptress", a scoundrel, or an aristocratic villain. A melodrama on stage, filmed, or on television is usually accompanied by dramatic and suggestive music that offers cues to the audience of the drama being presented."


Happy now? If you're here hoping fast paced, positive heroine no matter how hard his or her life was, finding true love, less depressed drama. Please get out of here

And I'm just really sick with people who generalized romance drama equals romcom drama. I mean, duh.. obviously a child who grow up with separated parents whose one of them are cheating will NEVER dealing with mental issue whatsoever in kdrama land. For the love of god, please check the genre before you watched it.

"excessive" melodrama??? what the hell are you talking about? it's a melodrama . IT IS supposed to be excessive. If you smart enough to google melodrama it will goes: "Melodramas typically concentrate on dialogue that is often bombastic or excessively sentimental, rather than action. Characters are often flat, and written to fulfill stereotypes."
You just end up making yourself sounds excessively stupid.
