Good show but not enough suspense

This was a good show but on the episode when he found out she was going abroad I felt he should have broken up with her instead of being the stand-by guy waiting for her to return. If they would have broken up it would have made the last three episodes very interesting to see how she wins his heart again. Why can't they ever make these characters get angry, mad, and hurt when they find out from someone else their girlfriend is going abroad? Are all Asian men really that easy-going and pushovers?
