TBH, I don’t want Sumin and Seju get back together caused that means the toxic relationship will never end even they are 50 years old. It’s the right move for Seju to let go of Sumin after 10 years of verbally and physically abused by Sumin. With Sungji, Sumin finally realized what she did was wrong and becomes a better girlfriend and eventually get married with Sungji (means Sumin has back to normal and stopped hurting other girls) I appreciate that at least the creator let Do Won came to rescue of Seju from a lonely and miserable life. At least there is someone there to take care of her when she is sick or feeling lonely. Do Won has a tragic past as well but she live on well and Seju was also amazed by her and she had shown a good example to Seju to value life. Do Won is strong, good and patient, she had shown Seju the difference between making love and having sex (can’t believe she had to accept Sumin’s sexual abuse and that ugly bartender who took advantage and slept with her while she was drunk) With Do Won beside her, Seju is able to move on, found love and successful.
It’s a profound error on the part of the author that anyone in the world is talking in positive terms about the possibility of Sumin and Seju “saving their relationship.” That was not, and was never going to be, Seju’s role in this story. The story where Sumin and Seju get back together is a completely different story than the author was ever telling in this series.
Whatever the reason the creators spent far too much time and space developing Seju’s character and backstory (whether Seju was just more interesting to write about, or if they got off on the sex scenes, or whatever), they doomed the series to an unsatisfactory ending for one or more big segments of the audience—Seju fans are still bemoaning her fate, and fans of the OTP know the MCs got shortchanged in their characterization by the excessive attention given to what is, in the end, a secondary character.
