I wasn't expecting that ending to leave me in tears, but here we are. 🥲

This was a thoroughly entertaining read and I can absolutely see how this is a love letter to k-dramas. Everything about the plot and the way the characters were just so over the top but still lovable. 

The ending got me 🥲 I shouldn't have been surprised because it's such a classic ending for a story like this and the author could have absolutely left it at that (the last scene would play out so perfectly on screen) but I am glad there will be more to the story. Can't wait to see where this story goes!
