### Summary
The intense conflict between Jiyoon and Siwoo has reached a frustrating conclusion, with Siwoo taking the initiative to apologize despite his innocence. His apology for a brief, professional greeting with his remarried ex-wife effectively ends Jiyoon's silent treatment but solidifies her position as the sole architect of the crisis. Reader sentiment is overwhelmingly critical of Jiyoon, with many labeling her a hypocrite for punishing Siwoo while maintaining her own ambiguous connection with Gaeul. The consensus is that she is projecting her own insecurities and immaturity, unfairly making Siwoo feel flawed for his past as a divorcee. Fans are infuriated by her complete failure to communicate, especially since Siwoo had previously been open about his own feelings regarding her ex. This has led to widespread frustration, with readers calling her "pathetic," "immature," and a "red flag," arguing that the devoted Siwoo is "too good for her." While a minority of comments express empathy, acknowledging that insecurity can be an overwhelming and illogical emotion and that Jiyoon seems self-aware of her irrationality, the dominant view is one of anger. The one-sided resolution, where the blameless party apologizes, has left the audience deeply dissatisfied, framing Jiyoon as a deeply flawed protagonist who must now overcome her own trauma to be worthy of the relationship.
