Its not sad but not fully closed ending. Wife doesnt give him a chance even in the end. And he cant cheat since hes broke even though he asked permission from wife.
i felt triggered alot of times because of how the wife was behaving but i realized shes just staying with him even though hes jobless because deep down she still has feelings for him.
It looked like slow burn countryside romance and i liked it. Also the bestie was cute and innocent having crush on one guy then the other one later on.
i like how the ending showed a closure of the characters. also notice how plain the clothes of the secretary are when she works in govt office with less salary.
I liked the plot but they didnt have to abolish monarchy and move to real world plot. Like in korea even without noble title there is difference in the people status due to wealth and other factors.
