This is just a rant about the last storyline

I didn't watch the first couple, the second was definitely the best, but the third was deeply disappointing. The closest I've witnessed in a Korean drama/movie where the girl wasn't super thin and perfect and got the guy is Lovely Sam Soon (and she's maybe 10 lbs overweight; wouldn't even be a thing in Western media) the rest are all about people who get surgery to become beautiful or they end up alone but learn a valuable lesson about self love or whatever. It's ridiculous.

Did I think she should date Kang Joon? Not really given her endearment for him was mostly based on his looks. Could she have ended up with someone else who liked her as she was? Um, yeah. And she should have.

I don't know why they try to be inclusive while also giving girls who look like her the impression they're not deserving of a normal romantic storyline that isn't centered completely around accepting their weight like... isn't trying to be so blatantly body positive but not giving characters like this the same endings as the others just saying people who aren't the beauty standard aren't normal but should love themselves anyway? What message are you trying to get across by friendzoning these characters anyway it doesn't come of as representation at all.
