I really love how Cheongrok is written as a character. He is so relatable. Wanting to appear completely alright just to not disappoint people but also being entirely aware that what you're doing is unhealthy, is just so real.

When I was still in a relationship, I always encouraged my partner to communicate whatever what was bothering them and we could work it through together. But whenever it came to my own insecurities, I always felt like it was too much of a burden to share it to someone, so I ended up making light of my own problems and pretended nothing was wrong.

Cheongrok trying to deny the negative feelings burdening him by undermining the importance of his own thoughts makes this feel so so real. Change can be so scary and sometimes just accepting that you can't do anything to have something or someone stay and gradually anticipate for the end is way better than being left with disappointment.

Im so glad that Cheongrok here, a character I found so much comfort in, got to face his own emotions and started to find the willingness to still hope in something constant. In a way, this also made me feel hope that perhaps someone like me, could also one day start loving myself enough to acknowledge what hurts me, instead of anticipating a means to an end.

Go get your happy ending, Cheongrok. You deserve so much more than what you think. Never stop hoping, no matter how it might end.
