Emotional roller coaster

I started this drama because of the story and the dance environment too.
I didn't expect to feel all the emotions of the heroine..
Two lost, lonely and sad souls who find each other and decide to save each other..
Their meeting was chaotic and full of emotional dependence.
But it boosted them up.
Until the logical imbalance of this kind of situation comes.
And the entourage did not help either.
I screamed against my screen when all these people allowed themselves to say or do things that I could not have supported myself 1/4…
How the hell dare you!? I know that in Asia, and particularly in Japan, respect for elders, family, hierarchy at work is very important.
And I also respect that. But when it's fair... because for me, in this drama, it was unfair. Whether it's her mother who allows herself to call her work, to meet her boyfriend or her boss, to cry so that her daughter keep having no life and so she can stays to take care of mommy, OMG, that's selfishness irritated me!!
The co-worker/boss who is an asshole who took advantage of her and allows himself to judge and criticize? Truly ?
(I know she was okay with that kind of relationship, but he was just sleeping with her, secretly, not tenderly, not even walking side by side in the street... and she agreed yes, she took the little care and affection one man could give to her. Thanks to her mom and her twisted education)
The infidel who loves his wife only because she can take care of the house and raise her children? LOL
In short, I hated that she got run over like that and that she apologized in addition to having caused inconvenience.. what a joke.
But what annoyed me the most was when her boyfriend, after begging her to move in with him, after having absorbed his energy to feed on it and bounce back in his professional life, abandons her by selfishness now that everything is working out for him. I had the bitter taste of betrayal at that time...
But I also liked the decisions she made afterwards. The fairest and healthiest for her.
He realized that he had been completely selfish, that he had "used" her and then carelessly dumped her once he had used her, and he realized his feelings for her.
And it was normal that she didn't go back to him right away.
Why ? Because she had to think of herself first. She stayed with her mother out of guilt over a fickle and absent father and an immature and selfish mother.
She never had a dream for her. She never thought about goal, dream, purpose, happiness.
Just being married and therefore having her happiness depend on the goodwill of another person.
So I liked the evolution of the characters, in particular that of the heroine who found herself and who finally succeeded in deconstructing the conditioning she had in which there was only thanks to a man that she could be happy.
And then I experienced so many emotions in this drama, that I would recommend it for that!
