I’m not gonna lie. The story started up so cute and adorable but towards the end, I was beyond frustrated with Yirim. I totally understand his circumstances and his thought process, but after he disappeared the second time I was beyond pissed. It was so hard to watch Cheng-ho struggling so much after yirim came back the first time. Like all Yirim had to do was send a text message or call this man on the phone. I understand that you don’t wanna be a burden, but this man is also clearly expressing his feelings to you that you are not a burden to him and you’re making up your mind on your own about how he’s going to feel and then leave. It’s like you’re saying his own thoughts and feelings are invalid and don’t mean anything. That’s a pretty messed up thing to do to someone you’re supposed to love. But after he left the second time, I did not feel bad for him. My thoughts on the situation is yes you have every right to break up with him and you have every right to leave, however, you are caring a good man’s child and I believe that he has a right to know his child. I understand being mad because you don’t want him to give up his swimming career, but I think that’s the dumbest reason to not let a parent have a relationship with their child because you’re mad that they just decided to switch careers like, how does that make sense to be quite honest I DONT think that YIRIM WAS CONSIDERATE TOWARDS CHeng-ho’s feelings at all. And quite frankly, the more I think about it the more pissed off that I get I’m glad that they worked it out, but his second leaving really left a bad taste in my mouth, especially after I saw everything that Cheng-ho had to go through and I don’t think that he was expecting or asking for a lot. He simply wanted to know what was going on, and it pained me so much to see him constantly worry about whether or not YIRIM was going to disappear. Like how devastatingly sad is that just imagining the anxiety he had to go through literally breaks my heart. I’m glad that he’s not leaving now and he’s like decided to stay, but I feel like Cheng-ho’s fears of YIRIM leaving weren’t really addressed. It was mentioned when he came back the first time and he said he was never gonna leave and then he left again. It was a cute read at the beginning a painful read in the middle and in OK read at the end. I get YIRIM I really do, but at the same time constantly abandoning your partner because you disagree on his career path, which by the way is literally changing from a swimmer to a coach, or whatever it is is a pretty fucked up thing to do. So even though there’s a happy ending, my heart still kind of hurts for everything that the male lead had to go through and the lack of acknowledgment of the gravity of YIRIM’s decisions because yes, you can leave. You don’t need to be in a relationship with this man. Everybody has the right to leave a relationship for whatever reason, however I don’t think it’s fair to keep a good man away from his child when he has never done anything to harm you and I also don’t think it’s fair for the child to not have an opportunity to get to know their dad. Even though I never got to that point the thought genuinely enraged me because YIRIM knew he was a good man too.
