### Summary
After a period where Jiyoon Cha’s profound insecurity over Siwoo’s past divorce alienated readers and shifted the narrative’s focus to a secondary couple, the story has successfully recentered on the main romance. This renewed engagement is largely driven by Siwoo (Manager Kang), whose reversion to his original, comically stoic and unfiltered personality has been met with widespread fan affection, revitalizing a plotline previously perceived as growing "boring." Current reader sentiment is overwhelmingly positive, celebrating the main couple's dynamic as "cute" and "ideal." While a slight apprehension about Jiyoon's potential for future insecurity remains, the dominant reaction is one of excitement and strong support for their relationship. Fans are now eagerly anticipating a major commitment, with numerous comments calling for a marriage proposal, signaling that the central romance has not only recovered from its previous crisis but has once again become the compelling core of the story.
