Weird twist, but thankfully not fatal

This is the longest K drama I have watched in my last 12 months of binging on Kdramas. Overall, I like the human emotions for all its follies in almost all characters. While the ML comes across as sweet, but a little funny face lacking the intensity at times. The story loses it a bit, when the ML undertakes manual labour for livelihood from being a corporate honcho. Seriously? If that was indeed the quality of the talent the Group had, one wonders how did they every become big. However, the writer completely loses the plot when suddenly the FL, who has clearly fallen for the ML and never denies it, suddenly turns around and asks the ML as to what he has ever done for her post the ML quitting!!! This is so lame, ludicrous. A one line answer to this- While the FL leaves her loved ones for money (yes she unabashedly does it, and thankfully the plot never rationalises this weakness of character), the ML gives up all the money and fame for her (of course, he adds self-respect and all that also to dilute the love angle). The plot could have always got one of the side characters (may be SML or Jisoo) to remind the FL of what he has done for her, besides finding jobs, and all. Worse, to make the ML look bad, he acknowledges that the FL has helped her in making ppt. Making a ppt? Yeah, someone should have told that moron that you get that done at 10$ /slide. Anyways, seems the story wanted to somehow create a crack and stretch the re-union and it does succeed there. An thankfully, the viewers get a clear sense that they will get back together. But the abrupt break-up is so forced, insincere and illogical, that such a strong plot has left me with this part as the reason why I am writing this. Funny, no? Anyways, an eminently watchable series and I might just watch the series in parts for the romance parts.
