This ending was satisfactory for me. If you understand the characters and where they are coming from, all their decisions will make perfect sense. See the characters for what they are written as, not as a reflection of yourself or your morals or ideals, and see the story for what it is, instead of how you would have written or changed these characters. The writer has enriched their past stories enough, starting with them being high school best friends, dreaming the same dream, who finally gets together after 15 years, but at the same time, they very realistically portray the aftermath of that reunion. It's not all silk and roses; there is no smooth sailing on this ship. However, if you want something more realistic, including the pain and heartbreak that comes with it, the confusions and insecurities, dedication and forgiveness, but also the (almost un-) realistic deep love that endures for a lifetime—this could be your cup of tea.

Much like the characters tho, the drama itself isn't perfect. But i like when dramas stir conversations and debates about the character decisions, and this one certainly did lol. It was hence entertaining, albeit frustrating at times, all the way through.

Quite obviously planned for 16 episodes, the drama would have truly benefitted from those missing ones. But alas, the 12 ep trend doesn't seem to be going away anytime soon!
