This can be considered the most failed work in Song Hye Kyo's career.

Breaking the series of consecutive successes of SBS, "Now, We Are Breaking Up" recorded a serious drop in ratings. The project further shows the struggle in maintaining viewership ratings when it has to compete with "unexpected opponent" - " The Red Sleeve Cuff".

On January 8, the final episode of the series officially aired. However, the ending of the film did not seem to satisfy viewers, as many viewers commented that it had a "boring and disappointing" ending.

The last episode of the work tells about what has happened in two years since Ha Young Eun (played by Song Hye Kyo) and Yoon Jae Guk (played by Jang Ki Yong) officially said goodbye. After leaving SONO, Ha Young Eun founded her own fashion brand. Despite facing many obstacles, the happy time she spent with Jae Guk gave her motivation.

Similarly, in Paris, Yoon Jae Guk's career also had many good developments. He participates in photography at countless different locations and events around the world, not just limited to the fashion field. His photography talent is increasingly recognized.

One day, Yoon Jae Guk accepted an invitation to attend a fashion show in Busan. In the last scene of the movie, Ha Young Eun and Yoon Jae Guk accidentally meet again while they are walking in Busan. The two inquired about each other's current situation and smiled at each other.

Previously, when the two decided to separate, Young Eun told Jae Guk, "If we happen to meet again, I won't make excuses anymore. I'll try to believe that we are destined for each other. together". Therefore, many viewers confirmed that the last detail in the movie hinted that "Now, We Are Breaking Up" had a happy ending.

Some argue that this is a complete and reasonable ending. After years of focusing on self-development, Ha Young Eun and Yoon Jae Guk are now more ready to enter a relationship with each other. However, many viewers were disappointed with this ending: "Bland", "disappointing ending", "lack of highlight", "smooth handling of the problem"...

In particular, the last monologue "the promise between us and your love has shown me the way, walking on that path is how I respond to you, we are in the process of parting" of Ha's character. Young Eun was judged by many viewers as "no depth, no meaning for viewers to ponder".

Previously, "Now, We Are Breaking Up" received a lot of criticism because of its long, outdated plot and poorly constructed script. The public thinks the film is on the list of Song Hye Kyo's most disappointing works.

With the participation of Song Hye Kyo and Jang Ki Yong, the film soon attracted attention right before its release date. The public is looking forward to the collaboration between one of the most popular actresses in the film industry and a trending young actor who is loved by many.

In particular, "Now, We Are Breaking Up" is promoted as a work marking the return of Song Hye Kyo after many years of absence from the small screen. The audience's expectations increased when screenwriter Jane - who penned the script for the movie " Misty" and Lee Gil Bok, the director responsible for making "Dr. Romantic 2", confirmed to participate in the project.

However, unlike the public's prediction, after 13 episodes, the viewership rating showed a significant decrease, with 2 consecutive weeks reaching the "lowest" rating of the drama. The work is constantly facing criticism and disparagement from domestic and international audiences.
