I'm actually loving this ending, I laughed hard when I read that one line at the end... It just shows Gyeong's manipulative personality. This is not a happy ending, nor a sad one, it's the result of years of manipulation that brainwashed Taeri into thinking Gyeong was a victim and she had the power to bring him down whenever she wanted, but Gyeong never had a weak point, he was just pretending. In the end Taeri was too consumed by guilt to realise he had check mated long ago. He let her go, she didn't come back so had to look for her, until a day he let her go and she came back willingly, that's when he shared that thing, only when he knew Taeri was so broken that she would willingly return to help him, only then... I repeat, it's not a happy ending, and it's not a sad one with casualties, it's just an ending, maybe a tragic one like the whole story, but it's not a bad ending at all to me.
