this was a REALLY good, it gave food for thought and invited the viewer to read deeper into each character
im not sure how to feel about the ending, maybe thats because i find junseo the hardest person to read. the one thing that WAS clear is that he didnt love ahjin, he was just obsessed and had this insane savior complex. so much so that when he decided that ahjin couldnt be 'saved' anymore it was just better dying together. I didnt understand that whole thing w the mom tho..
I also must say that looking back i feel like junseo lacked personality and i hoped for some character development but in the end his character fell kinda flat.
also JUSTICE FOR JAEOH WTH. even tho he WANTED to be used by ahjin, and it means his ending can be considered a happy one, he didnt have to die just like that the hell.. he deserved better..
the way ahjin acted on it was kinda frustrating but makes sense. She didnt let his death go to waste, but she couldve totally prevented everthing (or at least tried). so in the end she did use him, knowing all too well how it would end for him. This clearly shows how shes, in the end, still a sociopath. And in that sense i do believe she got the ending she deserved, she lost everyone/everything she worked for and (literally) hit rock bottom lol, which is the one thing she feared the most. PLUS If she died with junseo he wouldve gotten what he wanted, him seeing ahjin surviving while he is dying was such a good setup; it was a punishment for both of them.
I do really like how someone described the ending scene of her climbing those rocks is symbolizing how shes still determined to reach the top
Lastly, FUCK that ceo husband guy, ig its VERY realistic of them to not give him a proper punishment when he needed it the most. the rich and powerful always get it their way huh. Tho he has to continue living with some (?) fear of ahjin since her body was never found and she could always comeback and tarnish his perfect image,, i wish his deeds would be exposed and hed be put in jail
Don't know why the writers tried to redeem ajin in ep 8... why can't yall just let bad be bad? she isn't misunderstood…
idk I think it shows the complexity of her character. she’s a sociopath, but does that make her inherently bad? I think it’s even more interesting this way, makes us wonder if she really can be ‘saved’ from herself or not. I also think it adds more suspense for those who read the webtoon since it’s hard to guess whether they’re going to stick to the same ending or not
