no, ahjin and junseo were not together in the end but, ahjin and junseo had a kid together but that was also part of ahjin plan to using him to make her pregnant so she could get married to a CEO who was infertile, but this CEO was not a good person as well, he instantly knew that ahjin was up to no good but instead, he offered her a deal to be married to him that could help expand his business empire by having a top celebrity as a wife.. and he asked her to get rid of the child once they got married.. and junseo somehow heard it and heart broken and felt betrayed.. coz he thought when he was at his lowest point at the time (he finally knew about his birth father and it was also ahjin's plan to let him know that caused him having mental breakdown), then ahjin was comforting him that night but then it was all part of her plan to get even higher position..

so that's the turning point of Junseo to think of stopping her to go any further coz she was getting out of hand and endanger herself even more by married into a shady businessman..
Junseo gave her another chance to stop.. but she didn't listen...
so Junseo got no choice but to expose her deeds.. then Ahjin was threatened to suicide by jumping on the river.. then Jaeo found her and both of them left to HK..they were living together for few years while raising her daugther with another jaeo's friend..and they opened a bar business and living quite a normal life,

then one day, another rich man came in and pursuing her, but at first she refused.. and jaeo also prevented it from happening but that man kept on pursuing, in the end, ahjin gave in then she abandoned jaeo and her child to be with the rich man.. then unfortunately.. the rich man got a daughter who obviously didn't like her, and accident happened, she pushed ahjin down the stairs and she got severe injuries like her face got damaged... then from the hospital, jaeo knew about her condition (he was lost contact when ahjin went with the rich man).. then his friend brought her daugther back to korea first.. and jaeo stayed to close down their bar business..

after they were in korea, jaeo met with junseo and gave him letter by ahjin, jaeo told junseo everything that has happened with ahjin..
in the end, when junseo was having a book signing, a little girl came and asked for autograph and she mentioned her mom is a big fan of him.. then he asked what's mom's name? the girl said "baek ah jin", obviously junseo was surprised but thought could it be her? then he went to look for her, but he only could see her back and the daugther..

the letter said something like "if you've read the letter, that means my revenge has been successful.. you used our child to destroy me, then i'd use the same weapon to destroy you, my daughter doesn't know who her father is and she'll never know.. and we'll be forever with you.. but in our world, you never exist.. "

the end..

well.. coz he has deep trauma wound shared with ahjin since childhood.. so he felt that he couldn't let go yet.... but he didn't like so eagerly to meet her.... he was just there just to see her from afar.., and wondering if she's happy now or not? coz that's his priority since he promised to make her feel safe and happy... and if anything, ahjin should be the one who completely ignored him, coz she was the one who cut tie with him first.... but their bond is too deep so it's not easy once they met up again. ahjin obviously needed him that's why she came to see him again.

it's Junseo

i recommend the forbidden marriage and no gain no love ;)

for people who are still dragging youngdae even til this day, they're just haters and jealous freaks. nothing else more to say bout them.

yea it must be hard for him to fall in love and care so much for a sociopath girl..

that's what his intention since the beginning..

hmm bisa jd jg sih..cmn ajin ada blg kan ama junseo kl dia bkl pacaran cmn setaon aja ama inkang n hrsnya dia ga cemburu2 bgt sih.. tp mgkn dia lbh kek sedih plan apa lagi ini si ajin.. mao ngapain lg gitu ama inkang.. n dia ga bisa berbuat apa2..

nanti liat aja deh di eps 7 ama 8 gmn..

well like it or not, this drama's story will be revolved around more on the toxic relationship between Ahjin and Junseo, coz she's sociopath and she only can be extremely close to someone who's been by her side, specially if their bond has already been formed since their childhood.. sociopath is not easily growing apart from someone who's been their close companion in their entire life.. and not easy to grow attachment with someone new..

as for jaeoh, he's literally a "new" person in her life.. she uses both as tools of coz but she has more deep attachment with Junseo coz Junseo knows her real true color.. that's why after years apart.. she still thought of him, reading his book, then eventually approached him again once he made an appearance again in her life even after she was the one who cut tie with him..

as for jaeo, i guess many people misunderstand of the way the scene showed ajin and jaeo laughing and smiling like that, it actually doesn't mean anything emotional, it just simply that jaeo making a joke then ajin was laughing at his jokes coz Junseo obviously is not bubbly type like Jaeo, so Junseo just brought him a long coz he thought he could make Ajin laughed for sometimes in a while coz Jaeo is that easy going person, at the same time.. he'll be useful for Ajin's plan too..

you can google about sociopath traits if you want, ahjin and junseo relationship is indeed seen suffocating for viewers but that's actually what made the viewers want to see more..

you are right.. with romcoms he also did great.. but with mostly lighter dramas, doesn't mean he's bad actor.. he's far from bad.. i guess it's just jealousy that mostly cloud those kdrama stans' judgment.
anyway, he also did great in that moon in the day dual role.. just the plot isn't the best...
and also in the forbidden marriage, i think he showed range in there.. being funny and emotional as well..

yea i love their dynamic.. i know it's toxic relationship but it's just a drama..

Junseo and Ahjin are liked mirrors:
both broken by adults
both shaped by violence
both learned love through manipulation and fear
both bound by shared darkness

haha if junseo doesn't let her to do things on her own way, there'd be no story to tell for this 12 episode dramas..

but didn't junseo already try so hard to let her live a normal life? that's what he always wanted since the beginning... specially after they finished their school life... like borrowing money from his grandpa for her college entrance? or asked her to move from the old house so she'd be more safer? but it's always the bad situation keep on happening. why you blamed it all to junseo? i don't understand.

he loves her too much that's why at the end of the day, he lets her do things based on how she wanted.. like did he got any other choice? she's a sociopath after all right?
Junseo is unfortunately too deep in love with such a sick woman coz of years of manipulation and gaslighting u know..

he did several times to make her feel safe, like ask her to move from old house, but she didn't want... he wanted to make his father go in jail again, but she didn't want, coz she wanted him dead (which junseo didn't know about),. she always wanted to do it in her own way and coz of his deep love to her, most of the time, he gave in coz he probably thought, he just accepted who she was? it's definitely hard being junseo.. he just sometimes doesn't know what to do..

kl di webtoon bkn krn inkang, malah junseo merasa bersalah bgt wkt tao inkang bunuh diri krn ajin.. dan ajin sm skali ga peduli dia bunuh diri..
yg buat junseo ke trigger utk nge expose ajin ya krn di titik terendah nya dia pas tao bapak kandungnya sapa, si ajin manfaatin keadaan itu tidur ama junseo utk ngebuat dia hamil, dan yg ngasi tao junseo bapaknya sapa jg ajin lwt kirim surat.. trus junseo stlh tao ajin hamil anaknya, n rencana mao merit ama duda CEO itu trus anaknya mao di aborsi, nah disitu turning pointnya junseo uda ga bisa toleransi lagi.. krn bener2 uda diambang batas kesabaran junseo sih.. jd mmg uda hrs di stop-in si ajin nya sblm lbh byk makan korban lagi..

dua2nya kasian sih.. masa kecil mrk yg berat terutama ke ajinnya yg ngebuat dia jd spt ini.. dan si junseo yg innocent baik harus ikut masuk ke dunianya si ajin yg sakit itu..

moga endingnya jgn terlalu dibuat ngenes deh ini berdua.. ga bareng jg gpp, sama2 kek bs lbh baik aja gitu...krn kek gini2 terus ya ujung2nya jg bakal downfall jg krn terlalu maksa ambisius sambil ngecelekain org skitar. .. pgn ending yg lbh baek aja sih mauku drpd webtoon. .. junseo yg uda byk berkorban masa endingnya kek gitu juga T__T

i'm enjoying the ridetoo but obviously this drama is about the two broken people after all.. even though the story is all about ahjin..

with very great performances too

kim young dae

actually the the FL is 33 yo and the ML is 26 yo.. so around 6-7 years gap.. not 12 years old like their real ages.

KYD could be in long hair coz his character is going to work in the office..
