The drama isn't about who Jojo end up with, but how the choice is hers and not based unseen force

I've never written a review of a drama before, but after skimming some of the comments and other reviews I decided to just go for it.

While I understand how the second season may come as a disappointment or be confusing for some people, I have to say that I actually really liked it. I was looking forward to watching it for more than a year, but when it dropped I was swarmed in work and projects, so I ended up binging it yesterday. In the lights of that, I must say how difficult it was processing everything.

While I certainly didn't expect such ending or development, I must say that it makes perfect sense to me. The love triangle usually is such a boring, overused trope, but what I loved here was how Jojo had to work through her feelings first and not only her but Sun-oh, too. They proved something I rarely see in Asian dramas - that just love is not always enough. Hye Young is maybe the most consistent character - going through so much just to be with Jojo. What I did found unrealistic though was how easily and fast was held the conversation between Jojo and Sun Oh.

In my opinion the drama wasn't so much about who Jojo would end up with, but how the choice is purely ours and based on respect and consistency not on some unseen force (be it even a love alarm).

One of the most admirable things about the drama is the character development (while remaining some consistency of character) of Gul Mi (Jojo's cousin) and Jung Mi Mi (Sun's mother). In that aspect I definitely wish there was more plot and story. Really wish there was more to the story line of Duk Goo.
