### Summary
Jiyoon Cha, a woman in her 30s, has navigated a complex romantic life, ultimately choosing her supervisor Siwoo over her ex-boyfriend Gaeul. Their relationship has been fraught with challenges, from Jiyoon's insecurity following Siwoo's divorce revelation—which drew reader criticism—to Siwoo's controversial decision to quit his job. Most recently, Siwoo initiated a "break" due to Jiyoon's undisclosed drinking with a male colleague and her contentious decision to cancel a meeting with her mother, leading to widespread reader frustration with Jiyoon's perceived selfishness. Concurrently, the secondary romance between Noah and Jaein saw Jaein initiate a breakup, a development that, while seen by some as necessary for growth, garnered significant reader sympathy for Noah and criticism for Jaein, contributing to overall exasperation with the prolonged angst. However, the current chapter marks a significant turning point for the main couple. Readers express immense relief and happiness as Jiyoon and Siwoo have reconciled, celebrating their "improvements" and renewed "communication." Jiyoon is shown to have finally realized the critical importance of "constant effort" from both partners in a relationship, acknowledging Siwoo's contributions, though some readers still harbor lingering dissatisfaction with her past behavior. The prevailing sentiment is that the "trusted couple is back on track," with calls for their marriage, while continued reader interest remains for the unresolved secondary couple and the new character Minjoon.
