We have yet to see ‘Understanding’ & ‘Forgiveness’ (from previous spoilers). Just a guess what might happen…
This. I hope your ending predictions for "Forgiveness and Understanding" will happen Someone did mentioned that the writer's other drama "Revolutionary Sisters" had a satisfying ending.
And let us not forget Tae Gi will still be in the last 2 episodes since the actor who played Tae Gi was the one who posted the Episode 20 script on "Desire, Regret, Reflection, Understanding and Forgiveness" https://www.instagram.com/p/CoP0aWKvMbe/?igshid=MWI4MTIyMDE%3D

“Red Balloon” Ratings Break Into Double Digits TV Chosun’s “Red Balloon” broke into double-digit ratings to hit a new all-time high last night!
On February 19, the popular weekend drama soared to its highest viewership ratings yet ahead of its final week. According to Nielsen Korea, the latest episode of “Red Balloon” scored an average nationwide rating of 10.1 percent, marking a new personal record for the series.
I understand all the F-Bomb comments here and there. This drama/Makjang Infidelity theme is definitely not for everyone. Kdramas always had themes like these such as "Temptation of Wife" which I heard was a very popular drama way back in 2008, "One Warm Word" also with Lee Sang Woo and "Show Window" also with Lee Sung Jae playing the same role and of course "TWOTM" which was massively popular overseas. Majkang has always been a popular genre for Koreans If don't like swearing and getting upset while watching then this is definitely not for you But if you just watch dramas as pure entertainment/just fiction and themes like this don't upset you, you will be fine.
Also, we should not be judged based on who we are rooting for in the drama. I like NC-ES's plot but it does not necessarily mean I am a cheater in real life. I know this is a free space to express our thoughts and opinions but please be mindful and respectful of your words and what you say to other viewers.
