It could've been so much more. It's a slow burn, sure, but it clearly needed more time to burn because they do NOT have chemistry, if they do it's one sided at the most. Aside from the fact that the entire plot was reduced to nothing more than an inconvenience that could be fixed by getting a different pair of glasses (which ultimately renders everything that happened before it pointless because the main character acts like it never even happened after like an episode) affection just seems grossly out of place for the main character. I know stories that end after the couple gets together tend to be quite common, but I feel like in this particular instance that should've been like the end of a season at the very least. Because as a character, jihan does not evolve whatsoever. I know he TELLS us he likes jae, but not once does he show us or give us a reason aside from his appearance. and that's exactly why the chemistry feels so abrupt, because we aren't even sure WHY they're dating. Someone who is indifferent and straight up mean to the ml the entire series is suddenly acting affectionate and possessive in the very last episode without even a glimpse into his psyche or thought process in regards to romance. It just makes everything he does outside of what he's told us seem uncharacteristic. In an attempt to make him emotionally distant and indifferent they ended up making him extremely one dimensional, in a way that is impossible to just take back in the very last episode. I could go on but it's 2 am and I'm tired goodnight
