The ending was expected, so in that sense, it's not that Bad.

The lead's acting actually surprised me, and the script made sense. I ended up enjoying this way more than I expected.

Now, why was this ending so expected?
Right from the beginning, it's shown both of the girls clearly have a communication problem, let alone clashing personalities. One is pursuing a better future, while the other is stuck going with the flow. She refuses to change, even after realising she has problems. Their relationship started quite abruptly, but even despite that, she just went along with it. I'm glad we didn't have to rehash the old questioning her sexuality trope, but a little more context is needed for why she was so nonchalant with kissing her Best friend. At first, I assumed it was because she was drunk, but the next morning the kissing continued without questioning it. I wonder how long they've been friends for? I assume they've been friends for a long time, yet they can still easily misunderstand each other, and fight a lot.
They were better off remaining as friends instead of trying to become lovers. Clearly they were not compatible, and yet one of them still tried to change herself and the other girl to be more compatible. Pity the other girl still refused to change herself too. Of course, you can't force someone to change, but still, it just came across as her not being worth the effort to change for. By the time she realises this, it's already too late, her friend has already moved on. The ending is only bad in the sense of losing her best friend, but in terms of a romantic relationship, this was the best possible outcome for both of them.

I would still recommend watching this, despite the ending. Their cute romantic moments more than made up for it.

Finally, I just wish it was a little bit longer to develop the relationship more in the middle, although the ending should still lead to the same abrupt separation.
