Excellent beginning, horrible ending!

The show started strong, interesting, visually thrilling and attractive ... but the writer failed to keep up with the speed and the logic of the story somewhere in the middle of the show.
As the characters moved to YJ and settled down, everything got lost, even FL's hairstyle!
I loved Duan Woo, but Su Mu Je lost my interest and love untill a few ending episodes when KJ brought a badly injured YZJ to The Clear Mind.
We saw very little of the male leads in the second half of the show as the focus moved towards a businesswoman's world.
I liked both male leads very much all thought the show.
I wished for that nasty Chui girl who cared nothing about drowning all the little boats in front of her big ship to be punished severely and lose everything at the end. Seeing her safe and sound and rich and a friend to SMJ at the end made me hate her even more.
And that horrible ambiguous ending ... why do writers think that if they leave characters in an abyss they become professionals?
An open ambiguous ending only shows an indecisive weak frightened writer who doesn't dare write a proper ending and fears giving their characters a full life.
I watched this to find a new version of Hao Do/Leyan couple whom i adored in The Long Ballad but the ending killed all my joy.
Still I'd rewatch this for YZJ and DW.
