I really feel sorry for both of them, especially the female lead. After they got back together, the male lead learned that the female lead was experiencing depression and hallucinations. The psychologist's words were the final blow: "She resists systematic psychological treatment because she doesn't want to lose the hallucinations about you." I cried so hard at that moment!!! 😭😭😭😭
