The ML was an Ahole basically. He treated the ex like trash for no reason
I didn't i just didn't want to retype and I figured it answered all your questions including what he should have said and why the ex gf was justified or at least understandable in her behaviour. you though seem to be dodging the fact I've answered the questions you asked or did you not read it

Just that as she has gone through a really horrible time not least because of his treatment she meets with him to reassure him she is trying to move on and leave it in goid terms after 12 YEARS and he just sits there being sulky rude and like a total asshole. STILL. It was that scene where I stopped I didn't watch the finale it was all pointless. I think you probably ly have a crush on the ML stopping you from being objective. It's not the first Kdrama to have a huge plot hole like this. Again there is nothing in the drama that explains or justifies the horrible way he treats her. that's it you obviously didn't care about that but I couldn't see past such a glaringly obvious character flaw

"You say your piece and that’s it" This is the whole point he never said his piece!!! its realistic their relationship may not recover. Thats not my point its how he just completely blanked her and treated her as if they never had 10 yrs together. She had no right to him but had a right to an explanation and he didnt even give her that small piece of respect. You dont treat people how he treated her. And his not dealing with her led to her believing he was still stuck and that and her own terrible personal life led to her desperation. In the 2yrs after the death that he didnt speak to her once and then when they met just coldly told her to leave him alone was cruel. She then watches him open up not to her but to another woman he barely knows, watching him get to where she was giving him space to get to, a place where she thought he might at last come back to her. No wo der she couldn't accept it as it was just too unfair. For him or the FL not once to consider her as more than a jilted lover who couldnt take no for an answer was what made me stop caring about them. Even at the end it was her that went to him so graciously to let him go. She was doing what he never did for her and even then he was cold and uncaring. I dropped it after that scene. It just cemented him as an asshole. It is characters with such unfair treatment for no good reason that are my big problem with Kdramas. I cannot fathom how anyone could watch it and not feel like her treatment by him was just not how a decent human being treats people. I mean it was laughable that he was willing to remain friends with the neighbour (before we knew the full details) who even then as far as ML knows was there at brothers death but he couldnt bear to see the FL who he was going to propose to. If that was a reflection of his growth and coming to terms with his grief why did it not extend to the ex. Why was he cruel to her to the end. It was so horrible I dont know what the writer was trying to achieve, but for me and lots of others writer just achieved making the ML an unlikeable heartless and selfish person. Despite the death the ex gf was the person i felt most sorry for in the whole drama.
