well i for 1 am happy this is finally over,…

well i for 1 am happy this is finally over, the last 3 eps dragged on & on for me (for different reasons) so that's the 1st plus. 2ndly i don't have a problem with Kan paying the price for his actions. he was committing a crime - agree with euthanize or not. the law is black & white. Kan knew what he was doing regardless of the rules he had had put in place, they don't surpass the law of the land. 3rdly this was better then Manner of Death, another huge plus... lol *********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************having said all this, i don't get why Kan confessed, if Boss murdered 3 & 10 terminally ill patient's lost their lives, means Kan murdered 7 - he wont get sent to prison, it will be the death penalty. u love someone else more then u love ur own life? ok, i guess. feels like the ending was a 'whatever burger'. ************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************this was interesting on a whole, but it was far from perfect - there wasn't a character that i was rooting for (ironically i did root for Boss, when he was paralyzed in the hospital, cause he didn't lose his spirit) on a whole this was OK - the romance too was two people getting close to find info on the other... the fact they kissed doesn't mean anything. a one off

Was okay until the ending flopped

I wanted to like this so badly but the best I can muster is that I didn’t dislike it enough to drop it. The good part was I did enjoy the acting from all the actors (both lead and supporting!). I did have some issues with Tew and Kan’s romantic relationship but I think my issues were more with the writing than with the actual acting. The timeline of their romance just didn’t make sense to me. Going from ‘I don’t think this could work’ to ‘let’s move in together’ all before sharing a first kiss PLUS the underlying tension of them being suspicious and making the audience question if their relationship is real or not just made their relationship unbelievable. I also personally have a lot of issues with the ending. I think this is partially because I have my own very strong opinions on the ethics and morality of euthanasia and how heavily I sided with Kan but also because of my strong dislike of the ‘justice-driven cop’ trope. It’s just such a tired trope and honestly, so far from the reality of most criminal justice systems that it almost seems like a deluded fantasy. Having Tew go and say he loves Kan only to arrest him, placing the law higher than his love, for me, meant he never loved Kan. It really put a damper on any enjoyment I had in their romance up to that point. I would have respected him a lot more and believed him more as a relatable, human character he he choose to look past Kan’s crimes. He could have done that in a variety of ways too! If his love was strong enough to not be able to arrest Kan, he could have cut off contact with him, he could have resigned from the police force and stayed with Kan (or not!), or extra fairytale-like, maintained his job and and relationship. I just think literally any other ending would have been preferably to the ending they actually when with. But idk, that’s just my opinion!

Terlalu sederhana.

Menurutku endingnya begitu sederhana, ringkas dan terlalu pendek. Aku fikir, semua masalah di series ini sudah selesai - Namun keputusan masih tergantung, series ini punya konklusi tapi open ending. Sejujurnya saya tidak terlalu menyukai open ending. Dari segi scene, episode kali ini yang paling biasa saja, tidak punya vibes misteri seperti episode lainnya, tidak punya nuansa suspense juga. Episode ini mengangkat romansa sedih dengan sedikit cinta, namun series ini sepertinya benar-benar tidak berfokus pada nuansa bL, karena setiap cerita yang ditampilkan sampai episode terakhir ini tidak menekankan pada itu. Series ini berfokus pada bobot cerita dibandingkan romansa bL, romansa bL di series ini merupakan bagian dari komplementer series. Dari segi cerita memang unik, namun karena bentuknya yang begitu saja di setiap episode (hanya berbeda kasus) series ini terkadang terasa membosankan, apalagi dengan resolusi ending seperti ini, saya tidak terlalu menyukainya.

Eu gostei série.

E chegou o final dessa série com toda carga emocional que pude ter, essa série entregou toda expectativa que eu queria ter. Todos atores e atrizes entregaram um belo trabalho, quero deixar meus mais positivos elogios aos atores principais, que atuação boa. Tenho meus pontos a desejar a esse final, mas não tira meu contentamento com todo conjunto.
