To many side stories

I honestly think the writers made a mess of what could have been a really good story. There were way too many side stories, and they missed the opportunity to properly develop the main relationship.

To me, Namgung was already emotionally cheating before the relationship ended. Mi-do knew something was wrong, especially when she asked if his new coworker was pretty. She could feel him slipping away. She was trying to win him back and make him miss her, but he had already checked out. He seemed more interested in a younger woman who had her own daddy issues.

What really bothered me was how cruel the writers made him toward Mi-do’s family. These people loved him for 10 years, and he just cut them off like they meant nothing, saying things like they were done as of the next day. Was all that harshness really necessary?

And then, after everything, we see him happy in a beautiful, bright apartment, as if walking away from everyone fixed his life.

I didn’t need a happy ending, but I did need better writing. The writers spent so much time on unnecessary characters that they failed to explain the relationship, made the breakup unnecessarily cruel, and gave us an ending that felt completely one-sided.

I get it. It’s your story, and you have every right to tell it the way you want. It’s just a shame because you had two really good main characters and a wonderful opportunity to tell a meaningful story about love, change, and growing apart. You had everything you needed to make it work. Unfortunately, you missed that opportunity, and that’s what makes this drama such a wasted opportunity.
