on ep3 the main lead lied about that he met the guy who is hiding in the village and like he fought with.. do…
Himself. He is only covering for himself. Since, he's the wanted guy everyone in the village is looking for. And, he made up a story so that he could put a scar on the pictures of him circulating.
I rewatched the drama now knowing the ending. I realized that the the whole show (S1 and S2) is about 2 friends finding their ways to each other. It includes growth, maturity and realizing their feelings for each other.
The story isn't that bad. This story started as a crime thriller and ended up as a revenge story. I like how they gave justice to every character. The wrongly accused was able to clear his name. The one who is accusing everyone wrong, was able to learn from his mistakes and correct them. And of course, the girl who before was ignorant of what wrongly accused's real intentions of her, was able to learn what had really happened before. She was able to clear her mind and heart and choose.
I agree. Others hate i because they don't like who the FL ended up with. I'm not rooting for anyone. I'm rooting for the story. And, you explained it best.
