No, not even close. No one’s happy by the end. Jiwook ends up living like a ‘pet,’ and Juyeon, despite hating him, stays obsessed and possessive. He continues to hurt and humiliate Jiwook all the way to the end. He’s not what people usually call a “black flag” character like Ilay from Passion or Caesar from Roses and Champagne. He never does anything for Jiwook’s comfort, not even in a twisted way. At most, he assaults him a little less aggressively at times, but that’s it. He’s truly irredeemable in every possible way. Honestly, this isn’t a story I think should’ve been adapted. There’s nothing to take away from it except how destructive revenge can be. I really hope they change the ending.
