Initially a perfect 10/10 or even more

From Ep.1 , I wanted to rate this show a 10/10. Everything was good, perfect. It was the nicest romcom we ever gotten for a very long time, story is cliche, yes, but it was still good nonetheless. The cast is also perfect, they had perfect chemistry with each other and the OST were also damn good, especially with Yuri's Story of Us. This show was a perfect 10/10 only from Ep 1 to 15. Ep 16 lost my 0.5 rating, ep 16 was not it. A sudden unnecessary conflict just barged in from out of nowhere and ruined the episode, (spoiler) the main couple did not end up together because of that conflict, they missed each other and met again but they probably stayed as friends(?). NOPE. It was as if you enjoyed 15 episodes with them being lovey dovey, but just breaks up because of that small issue. I don't know what the writer was thinking for the last episode. I understand that the story does not revolve around their relationship, but also friendships, work life balance, a 'home', which was most important to the story's values. But we definitely could not ignore the romantic relationship between the main couple, it was ruined. There was never once a boring moment in the show, it was sooo nice, the comedy, the romance, everything was nice. Also kept telling my friend to watch this but the last episode, smh. This is the first time a show actually made me disappointed with their ending, especially for a romcom, the happy ending we all anticipated for didn't happen. But in all case, this show doesn't deserve such a low rating either, if you watch it from the first episode to the 15th episode, then it's perfect. Writer-nim, why did you ruin the last episode... it's really a waste.. damn it.

Ep 1-15: 11/10
Ep 16: 5/10
