Open-source does not mean user data suddenly becomes public btw. Plenty of large platforms are partially open-source while still keeping accounts, payments, and private data secured on the backend. But yeah, even without going fully open-source, this specific issue honestly should be very easy for MDL to fix. They already have all the metadata, just disable the ratings API until the episode timestamp is reached and instead of treating every account equally, weigh the accounts based on watch progression and activity. Run a anomaly detections on sudden and mass score drops and flag the users and you have your problem solved. Technically it's nothing, but from the MDL side, it's just a lack of intention.
yeah I kind of think it will go that way as well, they'll meet again after a time skip or something and it'll…
I get what you mean, and yeah feelings can definitely grow out of pity over time. I just think the foundation still matters a lot. If a relationship starts with one person needing to be saved and the other feeling responsible for them, it can become a little unequal without either of them even noticing it. And sometimes that turns into love, sometimes it turns into resentment when the feeling of pity disappears. But even when it does turn into relationship, that imbalance can still kinda stay there in the background. One person feels needed, the other feels grateful, and it gets hard to tell if they truly chose each other equally or not. That’s mainly why I still feel an open ending works better for this storyline. It gives both characters room to grow first instead of forcing a romance immediately.
It doesn’t seem possible here, and if they do make them a couple, it would come across as really toxic. Still, we can at least enjoy their journey, and Hong Hwa Yeon has definitely leveled up in her acting. I first really noticed her in "Buried Hearts", and now with this, she’s improved so much. I’ll be looking forward to her future projects with some expectations.

The problem is that MDL is a closed-source site. If it were open-source, we could have addressed this issue by now. It’s been long overdue, and it doesn’t seem like they have any plans to fix it.
Well, we're pretty much right about all our theories. This episode was so much fun!! Also, as another commenter @Hananey mentioned, I also believe this will be an open ending for the 2nd leads and I'd prefer it that way.
This turns out to be the most exciting drama among the currently airing ones in terms of chemistry. Good writing…
Along with the OST, they really nailed the timing. Usually, I just look up the OSTs on Spotify out of curiosity, but this time I was genuinely impressed—this song fit the scene perfectly.
