I need to get this off my chest before moving on

Read this if you don't want to be unpleasantly surprised by the ending like I was.

This is my first time writing a review. I am so mad I just couldn't let this go without writing one.
I wish there was a tag in the description that hinted at the sad ending, then I wouldn't have watched this series.
To be honest, I was going to give this drama a solid 9, but then I watched the ending.
I don't know if I'm allowed to go into details, but let's just say it felt like a gigantic ball of ice fell from the sky on a nice summer day and just crushed me. Let me explain.

I absolutely loved the drama until 1.02 into the final episode. Sure, it wasn't perfect but I really enjoyed it for all it was. The acting is, in my opinion, great most of the time and I think the main actors have a good chemistry. The music is also nice. Of course there are elements in this drama that can be found in a lot of other BL dramas, but for me it really had its own vibe. I also love how it handles the subject of LGBT+ and what it does with it, something I haven't (so far) seen any other BL dramas do. The obstacles the main couple had to overcome weren't extreme but I liked that. I mean, they were still difficult enough. The story had me really invested and I was looking forward to the main couples happy ending very much. With less then 15 minutes to go I was ready to say thank you and goodbye to this drama with a smile on my face. Boy was I wrong.

Out of nowhere the most tragic thing that could happen actually happens. And for what?? For me it was absolutely pointless. The whole ending is one big confusion. So much happens in the last 15 minutes, it's insane. I know one shouldn't be surprised by drama being in a drama. Heck, I've watched Until We Meet Again and got my heart ripped out, but that was good tragedy. It made some kind of sense, I could get with the point of the story. What happens in this drama? It doesn't makes sense (to me) at all! They both end up miserable. Yes, both.
In less then 15 minutes I went through shock, denial, sadness, confusion and anger. To say I am unhappy with this ending is an understatement. And it's not because it's a sad ending. Yes, I do not like sad endings, but I can see the beauty in them. I can respect what they add to a series. That wasn't the case for this drama. I think the ending is just really bad.

If you put aside the ending I think this drama is really good and I definitely want you to give it a shot and watch it. To not make this even longer I didn't talk about every single thing I liked about this drama but there is a lot to love. I do recommend you to keep in mind that the ending will punch you in the face. If you really don't like pointless, sad and confusing endings then I recommend you either stop watching at 1.02 (this would have been a nice ending) or don't watch the drama at all.

I was tempted to give a lower score then I have, but I think that would be unfair to everything before the ending. The actors also did a good job. It's just that endings are very important to me so I'm not able to go higher. It would have been a 9 for the story and overall rating from me if it hadn't ended like it did.
