Some regrets are destined to remain regrets. If only we'd been a little more understanding back then, if only we'd treated each other a little better. But there's no such thing as "if only." Every hurt remains an untouchable pain in our memories.
Ending: The male lead ends up with the green tea girl. The ending is unclear, but you can tell it isn't a happy one. The female lead gets together with the second male lead. After enduring the deepest pain, she finally lets go and seizes the happiness within reach. Heaven really is unfair. The second male lead has to put in many times the thought and effort just to match the wonder and unconditional trust the male lead gave her. It was both dependence and responsibility. Why do men always grow tired of it, while women only fall deeper once they have fallen?
Life is so long, and there are so many choices to make. The choice we make first may not be the right one, but it is always the one we make with the least hesitation. As life goes on, whenever we meet someone or make a decision, we pause for a moment, as if age has made us slow to react. But we know the truth: we were simply taking care to think it through. In the end, if I gain it, I am fortunate; if I lose it, it is fate.
