a bad deal for Da-heyon

I've seen a lot of K-dramas with wild finishes, but this one might be the most depressing of them all (death maybe excluding "everyone dies"). Usually in romance both characters need to grow or change in some capacity in order for them to end up together, but this was just "okay so Da-hyeon has to give up absolutely everything and in exchange Jae-in will.... be good to her when she is old" ??? How is that a reasonable exchange lol. It would almost be clever as a commentary on the idea of chaebol dramas, but I don't get the sense it was going for that. If the show admitted how absolutely bleak Da-hyeon's life is now, that would be one thing, but no.
Anyway, bleak bleak stuff. It was fine otherwise, nothing special, but the conclusion was so bad.
