Based on other comments this is clearly an unpopular opinion, but I do not think the ending change was that bad. In the end the artist wanted to make this into a story of love, not hatred, which sure, is cheesy but is it that bad? There are far more stories where there are shittier charas who get forgiven or even become the ML, or those where the MC is calculative and scheming and gets revenge. But this one although she said she has been wanting revenge the focal theme was always love, so even if its not "satisfying" per say, its not a ending that felt out of place at least in my opinion
