It's and open ending so delude yourself however you want!!!

What a beautiful drama, the title states the intention of this drama and in my own opinion I reckon they executed it very well. A lot of people are upset about the ending however this ending is a great open ending.

The key factors to this open ending is, they established that both leads still loved each other very much with the FL stopping her mother's consistent blind date setups. The MC seemed to have overcome his 'BINK' stance when he mentioned at the end "I look after my nephew and nieces quite a lot these days" indicating the possibility of him being open to having kids now as he had come to make peace with his mother, the ML is also seeing a medical consultant on his swaying mood swings and erratic behaviours. Finally to wrap it all up they both asked the final question "Can we really go back to being strangers again?" Providing an open question to this open ending...

Option 1:
Both leads crossed paths from time to time as they each continued to work on themselves all whilst still holding deep affection for one another. Eventually, as enough time passed, and each finally reached where they wanted to be, they finally came back together. Got married, started a family and though not all moments were good times, this time they survived the game of life as a pillar for one another.

Option 2:
They came to realise love wasn't enough to keep their delusion of being together again a reality...after some time and hard work, both came to see each other more as friends than as lovers. Still holding that deep affection for one another however this time held from the perspective of close individuals. Each finally found the person best suited to them and came to find true peace in their new reality.

As my title stated and now the context of my review states the ending really is up to how you want it to be...we already got to see them be affectionate and if that was enough for you, then write the after story however you want. If you prefer they got back together, by all means that's what they did...you just have to imagine this as the true ending. That's why I found this ending well-suited for this very drama, it left me feeling oddly at peace with how this ended and quite fulfilled.

I'm not saying others will or were left feeling the same way but I was hoping to share my lens around, so others can see how I perceived the drama.
