I still ponder this drama from time to time
This was my first drama that I watched to the end and it was honestly really good. It holds a special place in my heart now. I, of course, was bawling at the ending (two people so in love and deeply intertwined parting ways!!!) and took a long time to process it.
I don't have an issue with them breaking up at the end. It made sense for them at the time. I just hated how isolated adult Hee-Do was in the present, with her mediocre Mom and daughter. Okay, she's not with Yi-Jin anymore, but where's 40-year-old Yu-Rim??? Like she married a guy who's never around, so she might as well have married Yi-Jin. It was just a sad, lonely ending for her, and the adult Hee-Do did not read as Hee-Do. She was too subdued and insightful. People don't lose their personality at 40!
I just wanted better for her, and happiness for them both. I think everything after the breakup was executed poorly. But, I loved the beginning to the breakup.
