I feel like the side chapter with Jiyhun was cruel. It’s very obvious that even though five years has passed he is still “in love” with chiwoo when it could have been left at that. Having that side story where they stay together but even then it’s horrible is insanely cruel. Especially making it clear that he is insanely suicidal after everything that when down. Not saying you should be forgiven or even allowed back in his life because I think that was good. I think him saying “ i’m not gonna give you a hug as a friend because we are not friends” is good. However, I’m having the character who was being abused by his father who internalized how his father acted killing him/being insanely suicidal is a good ending like I’m sorry but wtf? Even the way the original story resolves with him being sent away to America without his brother, his only support system, was terrible. Now he’s engaged most likely to a woman he doesn’t love due to being in charge of his family’s company and like that’s insanely hopeless. He went from a child who was being beaten every day to an abuser to an actively suicidal man and I’m supposed to be happy about this? Mmm yeah. ok.
