a cliché, dull, and – in every sense of the word – ridiculous ending. seeing seorin throw herself into junho’s arms in the afterlife sealed the deal on my loathing. i don't think even Chatgpt could come up with this.
i feel like a damn fool... it’s as if every scene and every line of dialogue had been planned and executed with the sole purpose of making me realize the author is laughing in my face for being stupid enough to watch this absolute garbage. i don't think i'd lose as much brainpower even if i spent the whole day watching AI-saturated YouTube Shorts.
here's my conclusion: since koreans love insisting that anyone who goes against their ideals owes them an apology, i’m going to adopt that same mindset. i need a handwritten apology, front and back, with tearstains smudging the page, from the screenwriter. that’s what it'll take to put my heart at ease.
it's crazy how he still has a chance to be forgiven, but seorin paid with her life for his greed.
i simply cannot accept the way seorin’s character was handled in the final stretch, yet she serves as a clear example of how a woman, whether in fiction or reality, pays a far steeper price for a lapse in judgment. seorin’s "sin" was being naive and easily manipulated (traits she didn't originally possess; she was rewritten that way solely so she could be punished), and the consequence of that mistake was a cruel death: she was left immobilized, forced to confront – in her final moments – the harsh, painful reality of just how immature and foolish she had been to believe she was someone’s first choice, or that the void within her could be easily filled.
even if junho were to die, death would still be an act of mercy for him; remaining alive would force him to pay the price and answer for actions he committed with full awareness of what he was doing. junho was not manipulated. he knew exactly who he was dealing with, striking his moves with full consciousness of the implications of his deeds. as you put it: like a rat in the shadows, stealing crumbs and gorging on cheese. and, in the end, seorin’s death served to make him "realize" he had taken the "wrong" path. if he truly achieves redemption or escapes unscathed, it will be a real slap in the face.
after watching episode 136, all i can think about is how i'd probably die of fomo while reading the news the next day. can you imagine the headlines? i'd be glued to the TV all day long. from hwayoung's scheme, her escape attempt, the video of her trying to assassinate the chairman, to the revelation that Ma Seorin wasn't actually Ma Seorin, but rather Oh Jangmi, her twin sister! i'd be living on nothing but gossip for the rest of the year!
the only missing piece is seorin; i still can't accept that she got shipped off, while next week i'll have to watch nambong playing dumb to get lucky. it feels almost insulting to me, a mere viewer, to have to watch that idiot begging for forgiveness. as if he isn't desperate to gain some leverage only now that the water's up to his neck. i hope a billboard falls on his head.
Just when we thought they got rid of Tae Suk, she shows up out of nowhere xDDDI wonder if the og dad saved Seorin…
i also considered that possibility: that everything following seorin's "death" (including the staging of it) was orchestrated by dongseok or fell within his expectations — except for the attack on his father, which might explain why he decided to stop hiding.
y'know, i could see this whole 'jangmi gets incriminated and arrested' plotline working if it had happened when seorin was still alive. it's just a waste of time now. unfortunately.
Chairman Ma is a wily fox so why didn't he suggest that they visit the lab and the lab collects the DNA samples…
did they ever find the bug that seorin placed in hwayoung's room or discover that she sent samples from dongseok and sukhee to the lab for a DNA test? if the answer is no, then it also answers your first question... the writer dgaf 😭
Baek ho’s father is 100% Dracula . Another drunken night they both forgot. No one else would shag her 😂
hwayoung and kanghyuk are basically our modern-day version of adam and eve. they, single-handedly, were responsible for stabilizing the birth rate in south korea. if they had met in their teens... my brain can't even conceive of the magnitude of the havoc.
she can’t really be dead!? where is she and who took her/saved her? I can’t stand waiting!
hwayoung probably left everything for dracula to handle, so it wouldn't be too absurd if he helped her escape, could also be the start of his backstabbing. he was indeed very fond of seorin. i doubt it though... aigooo, seorin-ah... uri seorin-ah...
"she wouldn't have killed her own daughter" 😭 can you be SERIOUS for a second unc
the professor when baekho told him he was holding the evidence of hwayoung's scheme 😭 he was like "hwayoung-ssi killed her own daughter? don't be ridiculous!" unc i'm gonna hold ur hand when i say this...

junho: yay~ (≧▽≦)
so, so funny how the author's idea of revenge works. let's play pranks on hwayoung with mama.
jangmi: (*´ω｀*) yay!
