Wondeful Execution Of Perhaps Unnecessary Angst

I get it, okay? I get Han Ji Woo's insecurities, loneliness, and why he ran away.

But.

It's been a freaking year since he left. Waiting all that time for Kang Seo Joon to come to him is too long, is it not? What was the sense in that?

But in any case, he waited. What I don't understand is why he kept rejecting Kang Seo Joon for so long once his lover found him. And in the end, when Han Ji Woo realizes his mistake, he dares tell Kang Seo Joon that he would not chase him as much as he had been chased. Seriously? I understand he had insecurities still, but for someone you love...surely...you could learn to try...It would be an amazing character development.

Overall, I felt Han Ji Woo did not get to the type of realization he should have by the end of the show. He should have realized that he hurt his lover and that his insecurities were just that -- insecurities, not realities. He should have apologized more, begged more, and got to a point of a more enlightened realization.

I felt there was no real climax to the story, or at least not the type of resolution I wished to see.

Han Ji Woo really hurt Kang Seo Joon but he did not heal the rift between them the way he should have. In the end, Kang Seo Joon loved more than Han Ji Woo, no? I don't like to think this, but as much as I adore this show, Han Ji Woo was simply too passive...

But I like him learning to express his emotions more. That part's good. But it rubbed me the wrong way when he said he disliked when Kang Seo Joon talked with others and had friends?! Seriously? That's a red flag!
