Ep 11-2 min before the end are dismal, depressing & over flowing with sadness

I originally thought not to watch this ,so put it off for some time. I should have gone with my initial decision. Even though it is about tragedy it was doing a good job of not being maudlin. It was interesting how tragedy & loss were viewed from multiple viewpoints. I thought the scenes of the trauma of being trapped were done tastefully & not too upsetting [since we know who made it out alive]. The story was going well & there is no hard pull from the second male lead as it is clear he is not right for the female protagonist. Sadly, the story started to go downhill. From Ep.11. on they throw drama tropes of the worst kind at you. Death of a beloved character, a probably fatal disease for a main character, a revelation that breaks up the main couple first from his choice, then from hers. It was all so unnecessarily depressing, especially in light of the fact the story was already filled to the brim with sadness. What happens until the last 2 minutes is dismal, depressing. It destroys of any good feelings you built up until then. I had thought that I was pleasantly surprised & inclined to want to rewatch this UNTIL Ep 11.
OK, yes, I will concede that there is a happy ending for the main couple, but it's a miracle trope that is pulled off at the very last minute.
Another issue I had is that the female lead seemed to be enduring her costar's kisses instead of enjoying them. It created odd chemistry because she always looked too apprehensive & cold to being kissed.
