This drama didn’t leave a good taste in my mouth. The reason is simple — I’m not satisfied with the comeback. Everyone has already written the introduction, so there’s no point in me repeating the same thing. What I felt was that the male lead wasn’t given the right closure.

I understand he wasn’t directly involved in the conspiracy behind the female lead’s family’s execution, but he still brought enough misery into her life. I would’ve appreciated it more if she had simply walked away after forgiving him for his actions instead of reconciling with him. In my opinion, he really crossed the line by selling her to a brothel and making other men say filthy things about her character.

If she still loves him after all that, I’d call her foolish. For anything in the world, this should be a woman’s bottom line — and no excuse or amount of atonement should ever be treated as compensation.

She can forgive him cause Forgiveness is a virtue; it comes from within and is often unbiased. But love — love should be driven by basic rule of safeguarding each other's respect. A man who makes a woman a target of sexual humiliation by others is not worth loving (no matter what his reasons were).
