It's the way Love for Love's Sake says 'you love your flaws in other people yet hate yourself for having them' and then shows all the love that he has for the people who struggle the way he does and then says 'can you learn to love yourself through them?' and the only answer is yes.

Someone called Love for Love’s Sake a Cat/Puppy pairing. And it’s true. But for the first 3 episodes, you assume Tae Myung Ha is the puppy and Cha Yeo Woon is the cat.
Then Myungha unlocks positive affection points from Yeo woon who immediately turns into the most loyal overeager affection hungry puppy with literal puppy eyes ALL THE TIME (oh my god, his pout and the way you can almost literally see a tail wagging when myungha shows love) and has his own internal crisis of “oh my god. Am I the cat?”

The literal message of Love for Love's Sake is that letting people love and support you can be the best way to show someone how much you love them and that you cannot make people happy by loving them without letting them be there for you as well.
Love yourself and let yourself be loved because if the only way you know how to love is by giving and never receiving you will hurt yourself and the people who love you.

You know what things in Love for Love's Sake finale make me go crazy?
The fact that Myungha worked three part-time jobs to earn 300k won and he bought back Yewoon's trophies and medals (that his abusive father sold to get more drinks). Myungha thought it would help him reach his goal and make Yeowoon happy, but he didn't ask Yeowoon if that's what he wanted! Which led to Yewoon rejecting his effort and leaving him in tears because he wanted Myungha with him, equal and loving, not working and being unreachable as a parental figure. Talk about completing the side missions but failing the main quest.
The fact that Yeowoon passed by the ice cream store, not buying their meaningful ice cream because Myungha wasn't around.
But when Myungha disappeared, he kept bulk buying and eating rice with curry because that's the dish that Myungha used to make him, even if Yeowoon barely rembered it.
And what about THIS heartbreaking parallel? One trip to the sea to end your life, and the second one is to start a new and happy life.
(and those bubbles in dark water! I thought at first Myungha and Sunbae were discussing phylosophical and life questions in front of an aquarium or just a funky screensaver but no, it's never that simple with this show!)
(i am not going to bring up the parallel between Myungha going to see his mother twice because it recontextualizes everything even more and it'll be too sad)
TALKING ABOUT MORE PARALLELS, Yeowoon happily responding that he's running to find his "blorbo" perfectly circled back to the beginning of the story, of the game. Again, I'm insane about how good and solid writing of this story is.
Let's end on a happy note:
Yeowoon finally untensed his lips :D :D :D
(just kidding but their smiles during kissing are killing me)

I just watched Love for Love's Sake and I fell in love with this show. The way they showed us what love is in a sensual and accurate way. It is care, support and mutual respect for each other's feelings. It is the ability not to impose your love but to make it known. It is the way a loved one looks at you while you do not see. It's how he keeps fighting even when you push away. It's the fact that it's not enough to just love, you have to be able to receive that love in return.
