Critics of the finale often point to its reliance on classic melodrama tropes, such as the sudden time jump and the somewhat tidily wrapped ending. However, within the context of the K-drama genre, these elements provide a sense of emotional closure that the audience craves. The final moments, where Shi-hyun and Tae-hee reunite as changed individuals, underscore the show’s ultimate thesis: that while seduction is a pursuit of power, love is a pursuit of truth.
