### Summary
The series concludes with Lee Soohyun and Jung Eunsung having fully transitioned from their dark, codependent rivalry into a stable and healing domestic partnership. Their relationship, once fueled by a mutual obsession and a joint revenge plot against their antagonist Park Moon Seob, is now defined by consensual affection and mutual care. The final chapter solidifies this new reality, ending on the poignant promise of "see you tomorrow," which readers interpret as a symbol of their sound and secure future together. This finale also features the popular appearance of Soohyun's older brother and resolves a minor subplot involving Soohyun's boss, who appears to relinquish his attraction. However, the overwhelming reader sentiment is that the ending feels abrupt and leaves several threads unresolved. Fans express a strong desire for more content, lamenting the lack of explicit verbal confessions like "I love you" or official labels for the couple's relationship. Many feel robbed of seeing key side characters, such as Eunsung's friend Kim Seojoon, react to their partnership. Despite this sense of incompleteness, the conclusion is received as a bittersweet but ultimately happy end for the main couple, with many readers calling for side stories to explore the unresolved plots and popular new characters.
