Finally, the agony is over! What a hell of a ride it has been, watching this drama every weekend.
As a drama critic, here are my thoughts. This is going to be a long one.
I’m giving this drama a **1/10** — not because of the story, the narrative, or the characterisation, but because of the sheer amount of time it made us waste and the constant rage-baiting.
**Coming to the writer:** Everyone is entitled to criticise her, and there are plenty of things worth criticising. However, I actually want to defend her on a few points.
1. She definitely brought something new to the table instead of relying on the usual clichés we see in dramas.
2. She knew exactly what she was doing. The actual storyline probably makes up only 10% of the drama, while the remaining 90% consists of fillers that often don't make much sense. Nevertheless, she did an excellent job of keeping the audience hooked by saving the actual substance and major developments for the final minutes of almost every episode.
**Now, looking at the story from the writer's perspective:**
- FL's love started out of pity.
- ML's love started out of guilt.
- The writer is clearly on the FL's side. She consistently portrays the FL's love as being much greater than the ML's.
To put it simply, the writer presents the FL as a victim in this relationship because of the ML's love, which is rooted in guilt rather than genuine feelings. The way I interpret it, the writer portrays the ML's love as nothing more than a burden of guilt. On the other hand, although the FL's feelings initially stemmed from pity. Her love was never just about pity; there was something more to it.
That distinction is at the heart of the story. The writer wants us to understand that the FL deserves much better because the ML's feelings were never on the same level as hers.
The writer did justice to the FL and 2ML's storyline and their journey. But when it comes to the ML and 2FL? Absolutely not. Their storyline felt like it was written merely to balance things out and give the audience something in return, rather than to develop their relationship with the same depth and conviction.
In that sense, I think this drama is a **pure win for the FL–2ML supporters.**
**Coming to my personal opinion:** Was it worth the time? Absolutely not. It was a complete waste of time.
Lastly, I want to give myself some credit for finally surviving and completing this drama! And, of course, my theory turned out to be absolutely correct: both the main leads were going to end up with their respective second leads.
Looking back, the main leads practically revealed the ending themselves during their interviews. They definitely gave us warnings, especially Ahn Eun-jin. Her answers to the interview questions were already hinting at the ending right from the beginning of the drama.
And finally, I genuinely enjoyed this comment section and all the discussions, theories, disagreements, and interactions along the way.
With that, I'm officially signing off from this drama.
**It's been one hell of a ride, but I'm glad it's finally over!**
