Who Rules the World Episode 40

Leads are great, but there's 5 yr time skip at end leading to an unimpressive happy ending

the cast is great. It's only the leads that really get you through 40 episodes when it should have been done in 32 max. You can easily just quit at Ep 38 [time stamp 31:39] if you want to end on a romantic high note with a full warm fuzzy tank. To continue....be prepared for an immediate 5 year time skip. Ep 40 will end happily but the happiness is much more muted.The leads are great in pretty much anything that they are in & this is not a stretch for either of them. I was surprised that the Female lead did things normally reserved for the male lead- like killing people. She has righteous reasons to do so, but it is in contrast to the Male lead who is more forgiving {though he Totally sanctions the killings !} I felt like this is one of the most equal couples in a drama because they respect each other & they work well together in all areas . The sets were amazing. The romance is a sweet slow burn & misunderstandings are kept in proportion & dealt with quickly without the usual lame break up make up silliness that many drama couples go through. The length ruined this from being completely great. well, that & the Male lead having his hair too often in a tight knot instead around his face,as it should be !
