So being in love is an excuse to forget everything and not even demand an explanation, right. Or not being able to get a hold of her urges?
Love sometimes blind people, or make them think irrationally. It's easier to say that this is the right decision to make regarding a person, if you're not that person. This why when we're in love, we wanna tell someone about it and talk to someone, because normally they give you insight on what's right and wrong. and this is Sungji's first time. There's no rules, there's no time limit on when she wants to forgive or forget, she just wants Sumin.
Like, I can easily say and think that Sungji shouldnt have gone back together with Sumin. And that's the better decision to make. However, it becomes more difficult if it's the person who's in love. It's not that Sungji has forgotten, it's probably cause she's overcome or overwhelmed by Sumin's presence. Sumin was avoiding her as well, then went on a trip.
As for holding back her urges, well, Sumin's in her place, and have proposed to get back together with her again. before this, Sumin has always been, "you're better off without me" -- it's a different angle now, it's something she's never heard before. And this is exactly what Sungji wanted to hear from the start. The acknowledgement, the acceptance that Sumin loves her, wants her and needs her.
And well, Sungji prefers this, she prefers to accept it, is it right? who can say what's right, if a person thinks infidelity is unforgivable.. then well, it wont work out.. but that's the thing about love again. it doesnt make you think straight. In fact, love will make you think that you can bend the rules just to have it happen, we make excuses so justify why we can be with the person we love. I've been there, unfortunately. had made a lot of bad decisions, but well, life goes on.
But what I disagree on, is that this is a good development to give for someone who has been cheated on. Realistically, if someone is really in love and gets cheated, it is way harder to touch that person again so easily. But yeah this is a fiction, so this is asking too much.
Realistically, it's still quite unpredictable. I personally know someone who got back together with her boyfriend after the guy cheated on her. It wasnt easy, but she was convinced. Despite all our advice! real life drama can be even more nasty than some fiction. haha. anyway, for that friend, it didnt work out, because the cheating incident was hanging over their head. (also, hello BEYONCE)
my aunt on the other hand, completely kicked my uncle out, no looking back. so, really we cant say what's really the "correct way" of how a person albeit a fictional one.. would react. In terms of development, i honestly dont want to have 20 chapters of them just pining for each other, but that's just personal preference.
i suppose, what im trying to say in the end is, having criticisms is on the story is all well and good, however, there's really no right way on doing it. and we cant say or predict that certain things SHOULD happen this way. or that.
