Rushed ending without proper closures

The drama started great with a great plot and a promising storyline. The characters were developing properly and you could see why they were the way they are.
However, I feel like the last two episodes did not do justice to the remaining episodes. It felt rushed; a lot of dialogue was unnecessary and at times, there was an absence of proper closure.
The main lead never really talked about why Sae Won distanced himself. Even if it was implied, it would have been better had they talked properly once. A simple kiss and a night together, suddenly everything is okay the next day.
Sae Won's interaction with his therapist also led nowhere. A lot of times, it could be felt that the dialogues between them made so sense. I wish he could have had a proper discussion with his therapist about his issues and how they could be properly resolved so that viewers could feel the emotional maturity and forgiveness that arose in the main character.
During the whole show, it was quite clear that Sae Won's friend was a red flag. He was jealous of Sae Won's family wealth and never really saw Sae Won for who he was. Things took a serious turn when he was even willing to suspend Sae Won and got pissed when he didn't get a suspension. This kind of attitude doesn't come from a single incident. It's a result of continuous jealousy and an inferiority complex, which I think the writer should have addressed more. The fact that Sae Won and he patched up so easily in the last episode made no sense.
I personally also disliked the idea of suddenly hooking up Yun Won and Jun Pyo in the last episode. It's like no seniors can find anyone of their age to date or hook up with.
I absolutely loved and adored the character of Ae Ri. I think her character made the most sense till the very end.
