It's been a while since I've read/watch this story, so I had to write about it cuz it's been on my head since forever. Many people didn't like the kdrama but I really enjoyed it more now that I've read the webtoon! Both portray really well messy and real/ raw relationships. In my opinion, both endings are kinda bittersweet, but it's open to interpretation. For me, it's clear she just jumped head first into a toxic relationship again: Jae-eon never had a real redemption arc and never expressed his true feelings until the very end, not even the last minute of the drama. I feel like he's gonna cheat on her and/or they're gonna fail comunicating - "it's gonna hurt, but I want it", she said. Meanwhile, the webtoon seems to be pointing that Do-Hyeok never had any other crushs or relationships besides Na-bi since childhood, so it's possible he's not gonna resist the "temptations" from his sudden success with other girls. You can say maybe this is only her POV because she's been traumatized, but Na-bi doesn't look like she reciprocate his feelings or is atracted to him - not the same way as Jae-eon, at least -, but only trying the find something safe. Also the last message clearly states that she's in a kinda of loop of toxic relationships. I think they're both good, but the drama's really a breeze of fresh air in a sea of sugar coated romances. It's poetic, adds more depth to their characters and the soundtrack is insanely good.
