### Summary
The manga has reached its emotionally charged and bittersweet conclusion, solidifying its transformation from a crime thriller into a profound narrative of mutual healing. The finale is celebrated by readers for its realistic approach to mental health, eschewing a "magical cure" for Ga Hyun (Dean). Instead, it portrays his ongoing journey of learning to live with his deep-seated trauma, supported by Oon Hak. This resolution, which focuses on the two "broken babies" slowly putting each other back together, has left the audience deeply moved. A pivotal line, "To me, you are a thousand cranes," encapsulates the depth of their bond and has been highlighted as a magnificent and memorable moment. While the ending is overwhelmingly praised as a beautiful and unpredictable masterpiece that prioritizes "fluff and healing," a significant narrative criticism persists. Some readers note that the story never explains the initial catalyst for Dean's intense, love-at-first-sight affection for Oon Hak, leaving a perceived plot hole from the manga's inception. Nevertheless, the final chapter is viewed as a fitting and powerful end to the couple's journey toward domestic bliss and stability.
