### Summary
The series has concluded on a divisive and unexpected note, leaving many readers feeling unsatisfied. Following the main plot's resolution where Yeseul Kim and Yuseong Cheon reconciled after his confession, the final chapters shifted focus to side stories rather than developing the central romance. This has caused significant confusion and disappointment, as the main couple's relationship is left unresolved, with the narrative ending before they officially get together. While some readers appreciate this unconventional conclusion as a commitment to the story's theme of female empowerment and career focus over traditional romance, many others feel the ending is incomplete and abrupt. The final chapter, in particular, has been criticized for focusing on an ambiguous "yuri subplot," which fans found to be a "heavy" and jarring way to end the series, especially after the light-hearted epilogue of the previous chapter. The overall sentiment is that while the webtoon is a masterpiece for its thoughtful critique of beauty standards, its finale has polarized the audience, leaving the fate of its protagonists open to interpretation.
