Was it toxic? Yes. But was it extremely engaging? Also, yes.

I put this story in the same category as stories like The Novelist, My Personal Weatherman, My Beautiful Man, KinnPorshe, The End of the World With You & to an extent, Love Mechanics. They all have some level of toxicity (albeit in varying degrees) that absolutely no one should want IRL but they do make good plot.

IRL Joe should have completely disappeared and never let Ming back into his life, but as someone said, the heart wants what it wants. And Ming did get a redemption arc and changed for the better. My only gripe with the story is the Tong and Ming's parents' situation. Tong should have been kicked out of the family and lost his career, but they just gave him a slap on the wrist and paid off his debts for the sake of his kid. That was not ok.

Also for Ming's parents, the mum did the quickest turnaround ever after threatening to out his son. Also the Ming's dad threatening Joe with a gun... The explanation that he gave saying why he didn't want Joe and Ming to be together was kinda dumb.

So, yes, the last 2 episodes had some absurd bits and felt a little rushed, but overall, I really loved the story. I hope we get more interesting stories like these in the future. They don't always have to be toxic, but just, good and engaging plot
