Guys I read spoilers before starting this drama and the end episode sounds frustrating AF- do y'all recommend watching just the first 12 episodes and stopping or just avoiding lol?

I think they wrapped things up nicely enough, I'm glad to get some closure in terms of each characters professional arcs. Having said that, I can't say I'll ever rewatch this drama even though slow burn realistic melodramas are usually my favourite genre. The main leads never truly seemed comfortable enough with eachother over the progress of the relationship for me personally- they were even still using formal language with eachother after all this time.

I know there can be cold / tsundere male leads but I'm a few episodes in and this ML is going to have to do alot to grow on me cause rightnow he's just a childish bully. Whether it's sabotaging her study/ making her late/ even trying to trip the sick guy- wtf. Not attractive at all. I'm sure they're going to explain it all away as him liking her but not being able to express it openly but that doesn't justify being unnecessarily mean.

I actually kind of hope the main characters don't end up together- that would be evidence of better writing. If the writers were aiming to show the pitfalls of a 'nice from the outside' but actually disfunctional relationship they've done it- after however many weeks/ months of dating these two went through they never put down their walls and got past acting like strangers to eachother.

I'd love for the last few episodes to both of them make real genuine progress in their other aspects of their lives- Songah on both her self confidence and finding her route professionally and Joonyoung reconciling his resentment for his family + his instrument.

I enjoy slice of life and even some angst and melodrama but watching the last two episodes has just put me in the worst mood I've ever been in after watching a drama... just so depressing. Now to go find a cliche fluffy cdrama to make me feel better...
