Desperate, helpless Male Lead & foolish, toxic female lead

This is one drama where the male lead character should have deserved a happy ending, and the female lead character should've deserved Comeuppance for her toxic actions. But quite the opposite happens in the story.
Only the main male lead alone keeps getting comeuppance for his actions. The female lead is always spared as if she is always righteous when the truth is --- she "isn't. " The main male lead is crazy, but the main female lead is even more crazier than him when it comes to handling complex scenarios, crisis etc. This is the torturous story of two crazy people.
The female lead never understands the main male lead's helplessness, desperation, his motives, his intents, his background etc. She lacks clarity of thought whereas the anti-hero main male lead has clarity of thought.
Anyone who plans to watch this drama should take the meaning behind the drama title, "Love & Bid Farewell" quite literally ??because this is precisely the 'stupid theme' around which the whole drama plot pivots. The female lead is only capable of revenge & vengeful actions, thoughts, deeds, but quite incapable of critical reasoning & selfless love.
The biggest mistake of the main male lead in here is he fell for the wrong woman, but he is too deeply in love with her to realize that even in his death.
The only desserts to feast with your eyes in this drama is the package of intense, borderline erotic kiss scenes between the leads that you get to see & the epic background music & intense intro & ending OSTs.
This drama had so much potential for a good plot with a happy ending. Things could've have taken a different lead with a happy ending had the female lead not been so unreasonably obsessed over revenge to the point where she pushed the male lead & herself from where there's no coming back...
