I can say it is a combination of both and that you can make YOUR OWN mind about the ending. Chinese dramas always…
yea I feel like that's the best way.. Kinda like she marries and has a child but she can't really forget about him? though she has his ring as wedding ring which would be unfair to any future spouse... but then we don't watch for the end, right? it's really really good, it's my favourite toxic lovely vertical. cdrama ♡
I rewatched it several times and I still can't make up my mind about the ending. ... Did he die? Or survive? Was it a dream or an illusion of her? happy ending? ...
tbh this was so good. Not yet done 7/10 but each episode tackles another problem with the system. I like it, the conclusions are too fairy tale ofc, it's a drama, but I do like some hope. The only issue I have so far is the conclusion of ep7. That is not how gambling works, and with a few words and upping your guilt is not how you're able to convince someone from stop gambling once they're addicted. Sure, the parents are vicitms but so are the kids.
decided to watch this for my aouboom, but its so hard to watch coz of the bad scriptwritring 🥲(i finished it…
is it as bad as Dare You To Death .. or worse? DYTD literally wasted JoongDunk's talents.. and it dragged AouBoom into that mess as well ;__; I couldn't even finish the series, and I just kept going bc I love those 4 actors... but... it was a mess.

Sorry for answering so late. Its been 5 days, did you finish it?
yes I finished it the same night. And no, she's just using the one braincell she has for breathing. I mean... she is really gullable and naive, it's so ... I rolled my eyes often, let's phrase it that way. The plot of their childhood ran into nothingness. What even... His mother was a DELIGHT. How can the mum of such an obsessed walking red flag psycho be such a sugarpeach. Also thoroughly enjoyed the butler's thoughts, he was a gem.
