It was obvious they confessed back in episode 8 but seeing it play out + the aftermath was so sweet even if it was a flashback.

Also having that kiss and immediately going into a timeskip of them achieving their dreams and marriage was the cherry on top even if it was like a romance ending speedrun!

I enjoyed the show. It was cute and fun. The "need to pick one or the other" made zero sense to me though. Like you can still date while he's in college and she is acting. I thought that was the only blemish on the whole thing. Waiting to "Get" married as they date while working is fine. She could totally have both.

So MY HEAD canon is, they were always together. I'm happy with it.

The "one or the other" thing was probably due to two things.

1.) With her pursuing acting, they would no longer be going to the same college and probably on very different time schedules, so they probably rarely, if ever, got to see each other.

2.) I'm not 100% on this, but it's very possible as a publicity thing that, if she did start to make it as an actress, her agency would request her to portray as single to keep a male audience. I don't know how prevalent that is in reality or in solely acting, but I know it's supposedly a thing for idols and such to never reveal if they're actually in a relationship.

So, they probably were of the mind that it would be very difficult to make work if they could. So, instead of being in a regular relationship that they were planning to have, Rin was going to have to pick one or the other.

I suppose that's true though that's a cultural thing in Japan. Usually they handle that in idol shows and such bit I guess how the writer would fit it in here. "I" personally prefer my head canon. I mean the show was cute and fun and they were so good together, it feels like a slight to toss in one of those pick one or the other situations.

There wasn't exactly any "serious" situations so I guess it's a matter of preference for me.

I don't think they didn't see each other for seven years. I think it was more that their relationship had to take a back seat to make to allow them to focus more on their dreams. That is to say they were still seeing each other, just not as often as they would have liked. They were probably still meeting up but their schedules just made it harder to let it be as regular as during their high school days. She even says something about able to see him every day now.

i just love how they both waited ( waiting is considered romantically especially the whole films where lover waits for solider that went to war coming back and getting married )
