The show was good but this last episode felt like drama for the sake of it.

I don't understand why can't they see each other while Rin was working... and I really don't understand why she should retire after getting married. Maybe it's some sort of old school thing in japan... still I don't like it.

Yeah, unfortunately, even until the early 2000s, there was strong pressure on Japanese women to retire after they got married. Plus, (drama) acting is adjacent to voice acting and idols, both of which have a "purity" culture in which women aren't supposed to show any signs of being in a relationship (a culture that's referenced in "Oshi no Ko"). So Rin may have been worried about Eiji being the target of her fans' ire for making her "impure" (not a perfect, cute, single actress).

What makes you think they weren't seeing each other the entire time?

And did you not pick up on the "retirement" thing being part of a string of teasing jokes?

They said it was a long time they see each other

No I don't think it was a joke

However, the whole show was them acting out various skits for fun. So my interpretation of that scene was that they were just pretending that they hadn't seen each other for a long time as part of a clichéd "reunion scenario", but in reality they've been together this whole time
