I'm not sure how I feel about this. The story was great, and the premise of the story was entertaining, I'm just personally not a fan of toxic relationships like this. I don't like to romanticize traits like jealousy, greed, obsession and everything else Yoo Wons character portraited. She loved Ji-an, but ruining her life isn't the way to go about your feelings. She stole her songs, sabotaged her debuts, cheated on her, just so she knew Ji-an would have nothing and no one else to rely on but Yoo Won herself, at that point, that isn't love, it's toxic obsession. I don't know if the series ended at chapter 7 or if it just stop being translated, but I didn't care for the ending, which is why I had to give this a 4 star rating. I didn't see the benefit of Ji-an returning to Yoo Won. Love aside, that woman destroyed everything she ever worked for, even brought other women in their bed, I can't rationalize why Ji-an would go back to her at the end of the day, even if Yoo Won ruined her life to prove that fame and money meant nothing to her so long as she has Ji-an. I understand everyone roots for a happy ending, but this story didn't need that. Love stories don't have to end with the two characters, who were so toxic for each other, ending up together- especially when it doesn't change the outcome of the story. Ji-an could have rose to fame herself after Yoo Wons fall if she wanted to. She didn't need Yoo to do that. I don't know, I just hate that Yoo got her happy ending when she didn't deserve it. Losing her fame meant nothing to her, she didn't care, the only thing she cared about was Ji-an and the fact that a character like her got her happy end with no development is a bit of a let down. Like I said, it was a great story, I would have just hoped for a different outcome.
