I think that is a completely fair assessment but I disagree that Na Seungwoon is a character who's motivations need more explaination. We aren't directly spoon fed his entire thought process but we can definitely infer the things that drive his actions. He meets a girl who wants nothing to do with him, a universily adored and well respected person who has had every oppourtunity at their fingertips. The intrigue between him and seeing something out of his reach ultimately drive him towards actions he knows are illogical, clinging to the one new thing in his dull life; an girl who doesn't care about impressing him. I also disagree with the whole 'FL always happens to be protected' part - she endures a life being at the whims of people she can never rebel against, trying to claw out her own independence but its always out of reach. I don't think that explaining why a rich kid is obsessed with things he can't have is necessary, its an enduring theme throughout history that the rich covet everything they don't have and will burn the world down (or stab someone) to own it or put it in a cage.
I definitely agree that the ending - even starting at the beginning of 'part 2'. There wasn't really enough build up to their emotional connection, and the effects of what his absence meant for her life wasn't explored than much in detail. I think the story could have definitly benefited from being extended but I think thats the nature of most stories: if they go too long they become tedious but if they're too short then they're unfulfilling. But I think the better thing is for them to be short because then they can be expanded on later on and retain a core story thats still well loved, whereas if it was 50 chapters longer then the author risks losing the interest of the people who are in it for the core story.
