Opposite of “All’s well that ends well”
Is it just me, or did everyone fail to understand the last three episodes? Because honestly, what was that?
Let’s start from the beginning.
I started watching this as a time-pass, already knowing that many short Chinese dramas aren’t very well made—abrupt cuts, rushed scenes, random endings, and all that. At least this drama had less of those issues compared to others, so I gave it a chance.
This drama is looked like the spin-off of "What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim?", but at least don’t do whatever you want.
The story began like a typical secretary–boss drama. Fine. But then came the confession—completely abrupt. Here he didn’t just hesitate or joke; he firmly said no. Then suddenly, when his brother enters the picture, he starts pursuing her?
I can understand that he was trying to protect her or something—but then why say no in the first place? That part never made sense.
Next, his trauma. At first, I thought he had claustrophobia because of the elevator scene. Fair enough. But then that’s not it? Apparently, riding a Ferris wheel is the trauma?
I mean, fine—anything can be traumatic—but then at least explain it properly. Don’t just drop it and move on like it’s obvious.
Now the main issue:
WHAT WAS THE POINT OF THE BREAKUP?
I genuinely did not understand the breakup starting from episode 22.
What I understood was that she said something like:
“I didn’t completely trust you because you have a Plan B. You’re the inheritor of a big company—you can retreat anytime. I don’t have that option.”
Okay—but you already knew all of this. After 21 episodes, now you’re saying you didn’t trust him enough?
Then what was the point of the whole drama?
I’m not a relationship expert, but trust is the first thing in any relationship.
Yes, it’s progressive that he leaves his secretary position, but the situation they created around it is messy and meaningless.
Then comes the sad roaming around. What were they trying to portray here? Emotional growth? Regret? Because it didn’t land.
Then suddenly there’s a time jump—which I didn’t even notice while watching. I only found out from Google (and I’m not even sure that’s correct; maybe it was a subtitle issue). And then—out of nowhere—he proposes?
How did the conflict resolve?
How did she suddenly say yes?
What kind of writing is this?
Just write how the issues were sorted out. Please.
They complicate the situation I mean she is the head of her company and him also a company head or future head which is rival company of her, Fine. Then how the things will play you in future.
But then—ironically—you do resolve that issue at the end, without telling us how.
Just wow.
Look, I’m not saying every drama needs to be deep or extensive. But at least make it well-constructed. Don’t leave massive plot holes and expect the audience to fill them with imagination.
And yes—if anyone genuinely understands why she broke up with him, with a logical explanation, please share. I really want to understand this too.
PS: These are my opinions. Feel free to share yours.
